The Naruto series is comprised of many powerful and talented shinobi, many of which possess unique abilities. It’s true that most shinobi rely on ninjutsu when fighting, often earning a reputation due to the use and proficiency of their special techniques.
With so many interesting ninjutsu, it’s easy to overlook basic abilities such as speed and agility. However, many shinobi have made a name for themselves by utilizing their speed to outmaneuver their opponents and dodge close-range attacks. Many of the most powerful shinobi of the series have also been deemed some of the fastest ninja of their generation.
10 Madara Uchiha When he Attacks His Opponents
Madara Uchiha is one of the most powerful shinobi in the world. The incarnate of Indra Otsutsuki, Madara earns a reputation for being the strongest Uchiha of his time, a title he holds even after his death.
He is revived during the Fourth Great Shinobi War and is able to strike with such speed that his opponents do not have time to react. He is also fast enough to successfully attack Naruto in Sixth Paths Sage Mode, and avoid being hit by a Flying Thunder God Slash.
9 Naruto Uzumaki When He Uses Sixth Paths Sage Mode
Already imbued with an impressive chakra reserve, Naruto also possesses the chakra from the Nine-Tails. When using his Nine-Tails chakra, he can prolonge and magnify the use of his Sage Mode.
When he receives power from Hagomoro, he gains access to the Sixth Paths Sage Mode. Using the Sixth Path Sage Mode, Naruto is able to dodge attacks that move at the speed of light. He even successfully dodged an attack from The Fourth Raikage, who was using his maximum speed.
8 Might Guy When He Opens All Eight Gates
Although considered to be a late bloomer, Guy works hard to become one of the strongest shinobi. Having dedicated himself to constantly honing his strength and stamina, Guy becomes a master of taijutsu.
Because of his intense training, Guy is already considerably fast and strong. He has the ability to sneak up on opponents before they even realize he is there. With the opening of each of the Eight Inner Gates, his speed and strength increase. When he opens the Eighth Gate, he becomes incredibly fast, nearly defeating jinchuriki Madara single-handedly.
7 Obito When He Uses Kamui
Because of the White Zetsu attached to his body, Obito’s chakra and physical abilities are increased. Perhaps this is how he is able to use his Mangekyo Sharingan so frequently without any signs of overuse or exhaustion.
With his Mangekyo Sharingan, Obito can use the Time-Space Ninjutsu Kamui. Kamui is Obito’s most relied-on ability and allows him to transport himself anywhere in the world instantly. Its use rivals that of Minato, who is considered the fastest shinobi of all time.
6 Sasuke Uchiha With The Power Of His Rinnegan
Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan in his left eye after he receives chakra from Hagoromo. The Rinnegan gives him the unique ability to use Space-Time Ninjutsu. His most used technique is Amenotejikara.
Using Amenotejikara, he can swap places with an intended target within his range. This allows him to move in an instant. During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, even Madara comments on Sasuke’s impressive speed.
5 Shisui Uchiha Of The Body Flicker
Shisui is considered to be one of the most famous members of the Uchiha Clan. His mastery of the Body Flicker Technique garners him the nickname Shisui Of The Body Flicker.
His name inspires fear in others, causing them to flee before he appears. Using the Body Flicker Technique, he can move so quickly that he is undetectable, leaving no trace of his whereabouts or his destination. He can also create after-images using the technique and is able to move undetected and strike.
4 The Third Raikage With His Ability To Dodge Attacks
Recognized as the greatest Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, A is an extremely powerful shinobi. He goes head-to-head with a tailed beast and defeats multiple opponents with a single move.
During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, the Third Raikage is reincarnated and faces off against Naruto. With his incredible speed and quick reflexes, he successfully dodges Naruto’s Wind Shuriken attack.
3 The Fourth Raikage With Lightning Release Chakra Mode
The Fourth Raikage possesses several nature transformations, his signature being the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Using this mode, he wraps his body with lightning chakra, which increases his physical abilities.
As the lightning chakra stimulates the Raikage’s nervous system, his speed and reaction time increases. The Fourth Raikage is able to dodge point-blank attacks, like Sasuke’s Amaterasu, with his incredible speed.
2 Tobirama Senju When He Utilizes Space-Time Ninjutsu
Tobirama is heralded as one of the most powerful shinobi in history. He is considered to be the fastest shinobi during his lifetime, and can even move at impressive speeds underwater. He possesses enormous skills in all forms of ninjutsu, but he is most remembered for his Space-Time Ninjutsu.
His Flying Thunder God Technique allows him to transport himself or others in an instant. He moves around so quickly, it is impossible for his opponents to tell where his next attack is coming from.
1 The Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze
Minato has natural speed and physical abilities, and when he uses the Body Flicker Technique, he is nearly indetectable. He is so fast that he can perform techniques before his opponent and defeat them before he is detected.
Like Tobirama, Minato also masters the Flying Thunder God Technique. Minato even possesses greater control over the technique, using it to earn the nickname The Yellow Flash. He is considered the fastest shinobi of all time and gained worldwide recognition for his abilities.
