The concept of ninja villages in Naruto was born when Hashirama Senju, the leader of the Senju clan, joined hands with Madara Uchiha, the leader of the Uchiha clan. Being the two mightiest of clans in the world, they created a solid foundation for peace to prevail in the world and to put an end to all wars in the form of Konohagakure, the very first shinobi village.
Watching this model, the rest of the shinobi world soon followed it, and thus, the ninja villages were born. Over the years, these villages have only grown in size as many powerful clans continued to join them. With the birth of many powerful shinobi throughout the decades in Naruto, the five villages have become the fae of their countries.
Updated May 13, 2022, by Rei Penber: After the formation of the first village in Naruto following Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha’s pact, the world saw the formation of several other villages. While some are small and weak when compared to the rest, every major nation has at least one powerful village at its core. Over the years, these villages have developed some of the most incredible shinobi to have graced the ninja world. With that in mind, this list has been expanded to include the strongest shinobi that each ninja village in Naruto has ever produced.
7 Uzushiogakure
Also known as the Village Hidden in the Whirlpool, Uzushiogakure was an incredibly powerful village back in the day and was considered to be the very best when it came to Sealing Jutsu. Their strength was such that the neighboring countries quickly got wary of their ever-growing potential and eventually, joined forces to destroy them.
Sadly, Uzushiogakure doesn’t exist anymore, however, there are quite a few surviving members of this village who are spread across the shinobi world. The Uzumaki clan currently exists within Konohagakure, with Naruto Uzumaki as its leader.
Uzushiogakure’s Strongest
Uzushiogakure was barely seen in the series, but two of its shinobi have been prominent. The first one is Ashina Uzumaki, whose strength was such that even Hashirama Senju sought his help on occasions. The second one was Kushina Uzumaki, who ended up becoming the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. Evidently, both were incredibly powerful as ninjas.
6 Kirigakure
Kirigakure is certainly one of the strongest villages in Naruto and over the years, it has produced some of the strongest shinobi ever. Most famously, this village is home to several generations of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, who are all known to have been extremely powerful.
Their Kage have been extremely impressive as well with the Second Mizukage being one of the strongest ninjas to ever live, Yagura being a perfect Jinchuriki, and Mei being a user of two Kekkei Genkai naturally. Kirigakure continues to grow in strength even today. Under Chojuro, the village has strengthed even further and produced some talented young ninjas. With time, Kirigakure will once again rise to great heights.
Kirigakure’s Strongest
Kirigakure is a powerful ninja village, and, under Chojuro, it has undergone a great transformation. Currently, it’s one of the strongest villages in the ninja world. The strongest from Kirigakure is Gengetsu Hozuki, the Second Mizukage, who was a rival to the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagkure. Apart from him, Chojuro is also among the strongest Kage as he fought Otsutsuki-level threats in the Boruto series.
5 Amegakure
While Amegakure isn’t among the strong Naruto villages right now, in its prime days, it was incredibly powerful. Pain, one of the strongest ninjas, led the village and was strong enough to wipe out most of the five villages all by himself. Since information barely left Amegakure, their true strength remained hidden for the longest time.
In the past, the village was also home to Hanzo the Salamander, who was stronger than the Legendary Sannin combined and proved his legendary strength in the Second Great Ninja War. What’s more, the likes of Konan, among many other Akatsuki members also used to fight for the village, making it exceptionally powerful.
Amegakure’s Strongest
Undoubtedly, Nagato Uzumaki would have to be the strongest shinobi from Amegakure. He held the power of the godly Rinnegan in his eyes and could destroy countries if he so wanted.
Nagato defeated even Hanzo, a legendary ninja who beat all the Legendary Sannin at once. Despite his body being crippled, he used Pain to wipe out Konoha and killed hundreds of people.
4 Sunagakure
Sunagakure is among the strongest villages in Naruto that grew rapidly as the series went on. Although it started off as a village that was easily thrown into disarray by just Orochimaru alone, with time they progressed to the point where their ninjas could fight against Madara Uchiha.
Under Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, the village became much more stable and his siblings made for great leaders as well. Even today, Sunagakure is extremely powerful and will continue to evolve with time. With the likes of Shinki, Yodo, and Araya stepping up, Sunagakure continues to grow stronger.
Sunagakure’s Strongest
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage is the strongest shinobi to ever live in Sunagakure. Although he wasn’t as strong in the Naruto series, by the time of Boruto, he’s capable of fighting Otsutsuki level threats as well. Gaara is extremely powerful and his control over his sand has only gotten better over the years, making him one of the strongest Kage of all time.
3 Iwagakure
Iwagakure has always been among the strongest villages in the story and at one point, they had two of the nine Jinchuriki under their control in Roshi and Han. They have also produced some mighty shinobi such as Mu, whose name strikes fear into most people. Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, himself was so powerful that he earned Madara Uchiha’s praise.
Iwagakure has also matched Konohagakure in the Third Great Ninja War and has, over the years, been extremely impressive. Without a doubt, they are one of the strongest villages of all time. After the Fourth Great Ninja War, they also made significant scientific advancements and created artificial beings strong enough to easily defeat Jonin and even match up to the Kage without much trouble.
Iwagakure’s Strongest
Iwagakure’s strongest shinobi to date would have to be either Mu, the Third Tsuchikage, or Kurotsuchi, the Fourth Tsuchikage. Mu was much stronger than Onoki and could even erase his presence entirely. He could split his body in two and, above all, use the Dust Release Kekkei Tota. Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi is a master of the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai and, more importantly, has enough strength to fight an Otsutsuki and even send them flying.
2 Kumogakure
Kumogakure is one of the most powerful villages and had produced some excellent shinobi in the likes of the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage, Darui, and even Cee. They also have a perfect Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, who is the host of the Eight-Tails, Gyuki. Kumogakure also used to have another Jinchuriki in Yiguto Nee, however, they lost her when Hidan and Kakuzu attacked.
Clearly, the strength of this village has always been extremely impressive. Although their strength is already immense, they also have some incredible scientific power, as seen when the village created a cannon powerful enough to destroy the moon in The Last: Naruto the Movie.
Kumogakure’s Strongest
Kumogakure is a very powerful village, and, so far, their strongest shinobi has been none other than Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails. Apart from him, Darui, who fought the Otsutsuki clan is also one of the most impressive ones. Other impressive shinobi from Kumogakure include the Third Raikage, who died in the Third Great Ninja War, and Ay, the Fourth Raikage.
1 Konohagakure
Undoubtedly, Konohagakure is the strongest village in Naruto. Being the first village created by two of the strongest clans, it is not a surprise that other strong clans joined them to make a foundation for this village as well. Konohagakure has had the strongest Kage almost every time and their Jonin proved themselves to be some of the very strongest shinobi.
Their biggest strength, however, is the team of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Together, the two are powerful enough to defeat all the remaining four shinobi villages without even trying. Konohagakure remains to be the strongest and will likely continue to do so in the future as well.
Konohagakure’s Strongest
Undoubtedly, Konohagakure’s strongest ninja of all time would have to be Naruto Uzumaki. After the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto established himself as the most powerful ninja to ever live. Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha caught up to Naruto by adulthood and is also one of the most powerful ninjas in the village right now.
