Please note that this list takes into consideration any type of enhancement or jutsu used to transport themselves and the time required to activate said jutsu in addition to their own natural speed according to hype, feats, reasonable assumptions, and databook statistics. I have also only included those who have, or who I believe to have a 4.5 or above in the speed category of the databooks.
Top Tier Speedsters*The Fastest of the Fast*
1) Minato
You must be registered for see images
This man has undoubtedly been revered many times in NV history as the fastest man alive during his time and has been given the nickname the "Yellow Flash". His reaction time, reflexes, and even his own base speed was something to marvel at and almost unparalleled. However, his real meaning of his nickname comes from his creative and deadly use of his Space/time jutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows him to teleport anywhere he has placed a seal formula, most of the time on one his custom-made specialty kunai. With this technique, he could instantly take out an entire platoon of shinobi, which terrified his foes so much, that they were given a flee-on-sight order whenever he appeared. Even though his teleportation requires seals, he can still teleport to wherever they are instantly, which is physically impossible to surpass except with another s/t jutsu of the same caliber.
2) BM Naruto
You must be registered for see images
Like his father mentioned above, Naruto has also proved capable of dodging the even raikage's fastest attack in KM and BM Naruto has been shown to deflect 5 TBBs away from Guy and Kakashi at point-blank range. These are among some of the greatest physical speed feats in the NV.
3) Gai 8th Gate (theoretically)
You must be registered for see images
While we have yet to see any real feats from the 8th gate, it is presumed, according to the description of the 8th gate, that it will grant power greater than the 5 kages. The EIG grant the user enhanced speed and power, so it means that Guy would temporarily be faster than even the raikage which is why I have Guy above the raikage. He is below BM Naruto because Naruto isnt technically a kage, so the description of the 8th gate likely doesnt apply to him. Therefore, it is currently unknown whether the 8th gate would grant speed faster than BM Naruto
4) Fourth Raikage
You must be registered for see images
The fourth raikage was considered the fastest alive after Minato himself and is still one of the top tier speedsters in the NV. He is obviously the one that most people compare other very fast shinobi to, almost making him one of the minimum standards of being a top tier speedster.
5) Third Raikage
You must be registered for see images
This guy, like his son is also noted to be very fast since he uses the same technique, lightning armor. He, however, is more known for his durability a bit more than his speed, making him not as fast as his son, but still pretty close.
6) Lee 5th Gate
You must be registered for see images
Has proven himself earlier on in the story to be one of the fastest in the NV with the power of the EIG. However, his mastery of the EIG isn't up to his sensei's level, so it is obvious that he would not be as quick, though he is sure to be one of the top contenders in the speed department.
7) Killer Bee V2
You must be registered for see images
This guy in his V2 mode is extremely fast and has displayed several one-shot speed feats where his opponents was unable to react, he claims that only the raikage can match his speed, but that is still debatable for now.
High-Level Speedsters*Those With Overwhelming Speed*
8) Haku
You must be registered for see images
While his actual base movement speed is not good enough to compete with the fastest on this list, Haku's crystal mirrors allows him to teleport between mirrors so quickly that he seeems like he is in all of them at once. He is also able to move extremely fast when jumping out of his mirrors as well.
9) Obito
You must be registered for see images
Obito's S/T jutsu takes time to fully initiate since he first has to absorb himself into his separate space and then reappear at his desired location. Because of this he has more versatility in choosing where he wants to go, but this limits how fast he can get there, and would make one consider if it would be wise to use while fighting against another formidably fast opponent.
10) DSM Kabuto
You must be registered for see images
Kabuto has recently debuted as one of the most powerful main antagonists in the story, and his speed in Dragon Sage Mode is definitely one of the many reasons why. He is the only one to have ever fully dodge Sasukes susanoo arrow, which not even Kakashi or Danzo had enough time to react to, and has help his own against Itachi who is also known for his great speed.
11) SM Jiraiya
You must be registered for see images
In Sage Mode, Jiraiya has used his tremendous speed to single-handedly take on several of the 6 paths of pain's bodies and summons, which is quite a feat if you consider their impecable teamwork, powerful jutsus, and impressive speed.
12) Oonoki (while flying only)
You must be registered for see images
The Weighted Rock technique gives the third tsuchikage, Oonoki, the ability to reduce the gravity of any object, incuding himself. With this technique, he can soar through the sky at tremendous speeds, and has used this to his advantage against many opponents.
13) Fused Kisame (in water only)
You must be registered for see images
Kisame, when fused with Samehada is considered to be the fastest swimmer in water. Even Killer Bee in his V2 state had trouble staying ahead of this shark-man.
14) Itachi
You must be registered for see images
Itachi is known to be fast as well and has demonstrated his speed on numerous accounts where he was able to keep up with many fast opponents. He, has a 5 in his speed stat in the databook,which is the highest as far as base stats go.
15) Shisui (theoretically)
You must be registered for see images
Shisui has been praised as a shinobi on par with Itachi himself and had the nickname "Shisui of the Body Flicker". While we have yet to see any feats of his speed, a shinobi of Itachi's caliber is sure not to be lacking in the speed department.
16) Mifune
You must be registered for see images
A samurai trained in the arts of kenjutsu, Mifune has dealt with many ninjas in his lifetime and has developed a speed that can stop almost any ninja from weaving hand-signs for ninjutsu and has used it on several occasions when he fought the vicious Hanzo of the Salamander.
Formidable Speedsters*Those Who Are Quick*
17) Kimmimaro
You must be registered for see images
His fighting style is all about taijutsu, and most taijutsu users are usually very quick because they train specifically to increase their physical prowess, as he demonstrated by taking out many initial-level Naruto clones and even keeping up with a fellow taijutsu user, Rock Lee. His databook speed is also 4.5, which is the pretty high as far as base stats goes.
18) Madara
You must be registered for see images
One of the greatest legends in the entire NV next to Hashirama himself, Madara's reputation in the battle adept clan of the Uchiha has preceeded him many times over in the many decades while he was alive and even after death. Reborn as an Edo, Madara has shown great speed when he took out several Allied Forces Ninja before being stopped be Gaara's famous, which is also noted to be fast itself.
19) Kakashi
You must be registered for see images
Kakashi is considered to be the Jack-of-All trades when it comes to combat and is one of the most versatile Ninja in the NV with the use of his sharingan and formidable speed that he has acquired from his training and his duels with Gai. He is able to keep up with the best of them when it comes to speed.
20) Zetsu
You must be registered for see images
Zetsu's unusual ability to meld into the natural surroundings grants him a transportation ability not unlike Obito's and it allows him to traverse through terrain very quickly, though it is noted to not be quite as fast as Obito's jutsu itself. It has great potential, but the amount of time it takes for him to meld with the environment makes it almost usless in battle, especially against other speedsters that are mentioned in this list.
21) Asuma
You must be registered for see images
Asuma is another versatile fighter, though his expertise is split between ninjutsu and taijutsu with the use of his bladed knuckles. He sports a 4.5 in the databook and can keep up with many shinobi in a close-range fight
22) Sasuke/Neji
You must be registered for see images
This here is a dilema that has stumped me many times over. I consider this to be a pretty tough choice because they both have a 4.5 stat in the databook and they have both showed fairly impressive speed. While many people will claim that Sasuke would still be faster because he copied Rock Lee's basic taijutsu forms using his sharingan to gain his base speed and has likely surpassed it in the timeskip-possibly by using drugs, most do not consider that Neji is very taijutsu-oriented fighter compared to sasuke who is mostly ninjutsu-oriented, and as I explained earlier with Kimmimaro, most taijutsu users are pretty quick. Not only that, but Neji trains with the fastest team in Konoha, Team Gai, which includes two of the top tier speedsters that I have mentioned previously, Gai and Lee, so I would say that their footspeed is roughly even.
23) Neji/Sasuke
Read post above^^
24) Kiba
You must be registered for see images
Kiba is another taijutsu-oriented fighter, though his speciality is in his ability to sense smells with his impeccably sharp nose. His speed using his on-all-fours technique is still pretty good considering that he has a 4.5 in speed and is able to keep up with his very large dog, Akamaru, which is noted to be faster than any regular human by quite a long shot.
25) Deidara
You must be registered for see images
While mostly a long-range type fighter, Deidara is quite capable of moving quickly when he needs to, like when he was able to avoid capture by even Team Gai for a brief period of time and keeping up with Sasuke during their fight. His databook stat of 4.5 reflects his remarkable speed for a long-range type user.
Now some of you may be wondering "Why isn't (insert lower tier character name here) up higher? He was totally blitzing (insert higher tier character name here)!"
Well, all of the ninja listed are considered fast and can use their speed to gain an advantage in a fight, but what is the point in which a ninja's speed is considered to be fast enough in order to "blitz" an opponent?
Now in order to do that we must define the term blitzing
Blitzing, in general, is defined as sudden/intense/lightning fast attack; in this case, however, it is referred to as a series of attacks that are so fast that the opponent is unable to react to them.
Throughout the manga, we have seen plenty of times the people listed above have used speed to take out their opponents, and almost any of the people listed above could do a one-shot "blitz" before their opponent actually reacts, but only a few of them have actually demonstrated speed that hardly anyone else is able to physically react to in order to truly blitz their opponent with in rapid succession with a series of attacks.
These people are as listed:
1)Minato
2)4th Raikage
3)3rd Raikage
4)Lee
5)Guy
6)Haku
Now you might be wondering, "why is Naruto not on this list? He has KM/BM and has proven to be even faster than the raikage himself."
Now to answer this, Naruto is relatively new to his newfound speed and, as such, has not used it unless he absolutely needed to.
Now you may be asking, "Why would he not use this speed on a regular basis?"
For one, Naruto is unused to moving at such speeds for long periods of time and has not shown anything else other than extremely fast one-shot attacks/movements. It is also not his style of fighting since he relies mostly on shadow clones to overwhelm his opponents. Compared to the above mentioned, who have trained the majority of their lives incorporating their overwhelming speed into their fighting style, Naruto is much more likely to hurt himself than they are do to him being unused to this kind of speed and had done so when he first tried to use his speed to attack Kisame.
So far, Naruto has kept himself from utilizing his full speed in order to keep from hurting himself. Anyone who says otherwise is not taking into consideration the amount of time and effort it takes to fully and effectively develop one's speed while incorporating it into their fighting style as the others have.
Since that is out of the way, we can now proceed to discuss about the people who have demonstrated the ability to overwhwlm their opponents with speed.
Now, the first time we saw someone truly blitzing an opponent was when Lee opened the gates to bypass Gaaras sand and proceeded to attack Gaara repeatedly and extremely quickly.

The next time we saw someone blitzing an opponent was when Guy first opened the gates to attack the Kisame clone before he could react, completely overwhelming him with attacks. While it wasn't a true blitz like Lee has done, it is implied that, as Lee's sensei, that he could do the same thing himself.

Next on the list is the raikages. The raikages have developed the lightning armor to increase their reflexes/reaction time and combined with the body flicker technique makes them one of the fastest in the world. The raikages, while able to overwhelm their opponents with devastating speed and power have not yet shown the ability to repeatedly attack the same target in a blitz-like manner and instead have used it to make-extremly quick and powerful one-shot burst attacks that can obliterate almost anything in their path. This linear attack style keeps them from moving in a circular fashion which reduces their overall agility, but allows them to maneuver across a battlefield quickly and efficiently.

Another person on this list is Haku. His actual speed isnt the greatest, but he can move between his ice mirrors extremely quickly, making him nigh-untouchable when using his ice mirrors techniques. He has shown this speed in the beginning of the manga when facing off against Naruto and Sasuke

Last but not least is Minato, who is considered the fastest in the NV due to his FTG technique and his superior reflexes. While his base speed is fairly impressive, it is his FTG that grants him such manueverability that he is capable of taking out an entire platoon of ninja in mere seconds with it. Though his technique it is not classified as speed, the speed at which he uses the technique it still allows him to effectively blitz any person in the vicinity of a marked kunai or a teleportation seal.

Here are examples of blitzing an opponent using the NUNSG game. This is just to get an understanding of what true blitzing looks like, even though some are a bit exaggerated and not exactly canon according what each has shown in the manga
So, with all of this in mind, it is safe to say that the only people who are capable of truly blitzing an opponent would be Guy, Lee, Haku with his ice mirrors, and Minato with his FTG. As mentioned earlier, the raikages do not try to attack their opponents reapeatedly with super quick attacks, but rather go for a linear, one-shot attack to finish their opponents.
SOOOOOOOOOO there you have it! Please leave some comments cause I worked REALLY HARD to get this finished! xd (and btw for some of you who recognize the content, yes I have merged, like three of my other threads into this big one. cool huh? xd)
Sasuke should be higher up, at least under Killer Bee V2. He has surpassed boty Haku and Neji in speed. Neji hasn't even shown speed on Sasuke's level.
I'm assuming you guys didnt even read what I did before you posted. It literally explains everything inside! All of my reasonings and such is in there! You just have to read it!!
Its not official for obvious reasons.
Secondly since you've classed teleportation as speed then tobi should be right behind minato and by hype tobirama might take 3rd place since he also uses a form of s/t technique.
It seems you recognise hype and if that is case, shisui the person who got his name for shunshin should be there somewhere
I saw Oonoki and Asuma and stopped. Also Naruto, Bee and raikages are far from each other either which is fail. Nah I can't agree but you seems to do some work over here.
Its not official for obvious reasons.

Of course it isnt official its mostly just an attention getter. Please read what I put right after my title. It says that it takes int account the activation of jutsus including Obitos which happens to be rather lengthy.
Minato said Obito S/T was better than his, so isn't he number one. Speed wasn't the reason Kabuto dodge the Arrow, it was his added reflexes in SM. How is Jiraiya who has a 4.5 in speed, above Itachi who has a 5. Yo list sucks.

Tbh there are so many things i do not agree with, however its your opinion so ill stop there. However id put tobi as no1 or slightly behind minato simply because in a race to get to another destination, tobi will reach there before anybody on that list. Unless minato has an hirashin seal at the destination.
Zetsu's mayfly i will also rank very high since you include enhancements. You include hype and somebody like shisui who got his nickname, id rank as no1 when it comes to shunshin users

You seem to forget that he has trolled A already, along with naruto with kamui, both of whom you rank higher than him.
You also forgot Hanzo, but include kisame in water. Who is faster?, going by hanzo's hype id give him the edge in water over kisame when it comes to speed
