Who is the least skilled shinobi to enter the top tiers?

[BlacLord™]

We all know the type.

They've got the power of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee rolled into one, but all the finesse and skill of a giant cockroach. Question is, who do you think fits the bill in Naruto? You can consider literally anybody who has ever been top tier over the course of the series.

 

[Joon]

Hurizen by far. Might Guy don't count.

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Kaguya, Hagoromo, Hamura, Any other Ootsutsuki really.

 

[Mellow]

hidan

 

[KesOnFire]

Momoshiki

They were the first to will chakra tho.... and they don't count.

 

[Promethius]

Naruto. All he does is spam shadow clones and rasengan...

 

[BlacLord™]

Hurizen by far. Might Guy don't count.

I would say power was Hiruzen's problem, he was quite refined when it came to skill. But a major lack of power left him paling quickly.

 

[KesOnFire]

Sasuke all he does is spam his eye lol

"Haters".

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Hard to decide while not knowing all the chioces.

 

[Pyro NB]

"Haters".

lol agreed
OT: I would say Gaara

 

[ANiMUS]

Toneri and Momoshiki :|

 

[Demonic.]

I would say Obito. As a teen he wasn't anything special, but as soon as he saw Rin die and unlocked Kamui he became top tier.

And by top tier I mean below Base Minato.

 

[take it easy]

Might Guy, Tsunade, 4 Raikage, Minato.

 

[Pukkake Pokayo]

Uhhh the brutes that come to mind are Ay, Tsunade, Sakura. Perhaps Choji.

If we're talking rikudo tier. All the Otsotsuki starting from the top.

 

[HiddenSound]

Tbh I'd say Kaguya does have pretty solid skill.

She managed to block 4 RSM Naruto clones, when those are the clones that defeated 4 Prime Madara Limbo clones 1v1.
Not only that, but she successfully reacted to Amenotejikara which is probably the fastest technique in the verse.

As for the least skilled, hard to say. By definition, the top tier characters have more skill than anyone else.

Hidan. He can take down kages yet has the movesets on par with Sakura

 

[ToshiZO]

Lack of variety and jutsu maybe? In terms of skill no. He is much more skilled a ninja than her.

If anything its his head that needs help.

By moveset I meant variety and diversity in ninjutsu. His skills are obviously better than sakuras but he lacks other skilled ninjutsus to use besides his grim reaper blade thingy. It's like how Sakura uses shanaroo over and over
