Welcome to Gaia! ::

Today we will be discussing who you think is the strongest of the strong characters in Naruto! Also be sure to include who you think the the Top 5 strongest characters are in your opinion and why ^.^.


Chouji Akimichi
Accomplishments:
Butterfly Release Technique
Also when he ate the Red Akimichi pill he stated that it would be fatal for him. Yet he's still alive which proves that he's immortal.



Itachi Uchiha
Accomplishments:
Graduated at the top of his Academy class at age 7
Mastered the Sharingan by age 8
Became a Chunin at 10
Became an ANBU squad captain at the age of 13
Considered the best Uchiha of the Clan
Eradicated the entire Uchiha Clan(except for the one person he chose not to kill)
Defeated Kakashi by looking at him
Escaped from Jiraiya's inescapable Toad Throat Technique
Has consistantly "fought" with only one hand, and has generally come out on top in these battle
Even when using one hand his movements are so fast that the Sharingan, the Bloodline Limit that revolves around predicting moves, can't keep up with him



Naruto Uzumaki
Accomplishments:
Has the Kyuubi inside of him, enabling him to defeat anyone in the series...except for Sasuke. This benefit also carries over to any technique he learns as he's able to expend however much Chakra/Stamina is required to use any High Level Technique with a little effort and time. It ALSO comes with a healing ability so when he uses a stupidly powerful Technique that backlashes on him his body will be able to repair the damage with, once again, some time.



Sandaime HoKage
Accomplishments:
Known as the "God of Shinobi" and the "Professor"
He mastered every technique known within Konoha
Appointed the title Hokage at 15.
Trained Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru
Despite his age he was RE-appointed as HoKage after the 4th died
Grandfather of KONOHAMARU
Edit Addition: Managed to fight Orochimaru and the 1st/2nd HoKage. Defeated the two HoKages and took away Orochimaru's arms(which set up his pwnation by Sasuke later).


Sasori of the Red Sands
Accomplishments:
Creator of "Human Puppets" that can retain Chakra after their death
Has a collection of almost 300 Human Puppets
Master puppeteer
Has numerous poisons that he has created that are incurable even by other poison-makers
Created the "Crow", "Black Ant" and "Salamander" puppets that Kankuro used
Also swiftly destroyed the three puppets with little effort when Kankuro tried to use them against him.
Killed the Third KazeKage, turned him into a Human Puppet
Removed the Puppeeteers weakness of being exposed by wearing his puppets



Sasuke Uchiha
Accomplishments:
Has the adoration of every girl in his age group
Considered the "genious" of his class
Trained personally by Kakashi
Defeated Naruto
Gained a Legendary weapon "Kusanagi Sword"
Improved on Kakashi's Chidori to create a new weapon out of it
Defeated 1,000 nameless/faceless ninja without killing a single one
Defeated a horde of Cursed Sealed prisoners without killing a single one
Defeated Naruto again, Defeated Sakura, Defeated Sai, Defeated Yamoto and finished it off by Defeating the Kyuubi
Defeated Orochimaru physically and on a spirit-level



Shikamaru Nara
Accomplishments:
He killed an Akatsuki. By himself. Enough said.
While he was killing said Akatsuki he even managed to critically wound the 2nd Akatsuki that everyone else was fighting.
Learned how to smoke at 15 yrs old and no one bothers to stop him(likely for the reason above)



Yondaime Hokage
Creator of the Hiraishin no Jutsu which allows the user to teleport anywhere a tag has been placed including throwing a kunai with a tag attached to teleport wherever the kunai is thrown.
Flee-on-sight warning was given in regards to him during the third ninja war.
Creator of Shiki Fujin the death god sealing jutsu.
Sealed the Kyuubi using Shiki Fujin.

((Actually, I wouldn't say Shikamaru killed an Akatsuki. Defeated, yes. Permanently incapitated, yes. But not killed.))

I picked some that weren't already on the list, mainly because I don't think repeating reasons wil help any ^^;

Temari: Killed one of the Sound Five in one attack. Is the only person in the entire series (besides Naruto, who had the Kyuubi chakra inside him) to master summoning while at the Genin level. Is probably the only person that can cause Shikamaru to cower in fear.

Sakura: Selected for training by the Fifth Hokage. Helped Chiyo to kill an Akatsuki. Could heal Kankuro when no one in the entire Sand village could. She was able to figure out the first Chuunin test which was supposedly unsolveable. Manages all this and the abilty to stay on par with her teammates when she's the only one of the main characters without any special clan or demon powers.

Hinata: As we've seen, Neji is insanely powerful. Hinata has the potential to become even stronger, which I hope she'll use.

Konohamaru: In addition to his lineage, his perverted attacks can cause pretty much anyone in the series to stop in their tracks.

Tobi: Was accepted into the Akatsuki despite the fact that he is (or just acts) REALLY young. If he didn't have the talent to make the others want to put up with him, they wouldn't have chose him as Sasori's replacement.
