It’s no secret that the Tailed Beasts are the strongest monsters in Naruto. As fans know, they possess near-limitless chakra reserves, which makes them the perfect weapons of mass destruction when someone abuses their powers. They were supposed to be agents of peace, but corrupt ninja used them for personal gain, regardless of whether they liked it or not.
However, taming a Tailed Beast usually demands brute force, sheer strength, and mental resolve, but there exist characters who can still manipulate them with ease. Madara Uchiha is one of the most famous, if not the most popular, characters, who enslaved and manipulated a Tailed Beast without exerting too much effort. Besides Madara, Naruto still boasts powerful characters who are far superior to a Tailed Beast and here they are.
Naruto: Why Uzumaki Clan Members Make the Perfect Jinchuriki, Explained
With exceptional life force and mastery in sealing jutsu, the Uzumaki make the perfect candidates for being a Jinchuriki.
Naruto Uzumaki Defeated Kurama
Naruto Formed a Bond With the Tailed Beasts
Naruto Uzumaki has a long history with the Nine-Tails Kurama in the series. Most of his life has been shared with a Tailed Beast, so they basically know each other from head to toe. Naruto’s experience as a jinchuriki isn’t easy at all, given Kurama’s pure hatred towards humanity.
Naruto had to confront Kurama, fight him with Sage Mode, Rasenshuriken, and Giant Rasengans, and pull his chakra to use his power. It’s not an easy feat, but Naruto accomplished it eventually.
As fans know, Naruto and Kurama linked eventually, and for the first time, they unlocked Kurama Mode, which greatly increased their power level and enhanced their abilities. He later becomes the strongest ninja, who is on friendly terms with the other Tailed Beasts.
Sasuke Uchiha Suppressed Kurama
Sasuke Put the Tailed Beasts Under a Genjutsu
As someone with visual prowess, Sasuke Uchiha can conveniently enslave the Tailed Beasts and suppress their power. As shown in Naruto, Sasuke can activate his Sharingan to suppress the chakra of the Nine-Tails with ease. In return, Kurama mentioned that Sasuke’s chakra is more cursed than his, making him a dangerous opponent to mess around with.
Later in the series, Sasuke even put all the Tailed Beasts under a genjutsu in the belief that the world will be better off without them. This isn’t big talk, as Sasuke has enough power to vanish the Tailed Beasts for real.
Madara Uchiha Enslaved the Tailed Beasts
Madara Treats Tailed Beasts as Servants
Madara Uchiha made waves in the shinobi world with his destructive powers. Part of this power is his dojutsu, which allows him to submit the Tailed Beasts under his will. For him, the Tailed Beasts are simply servants of those with visual prowess, and he has no regard for their well-being.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Madara captured the Tailed Beasts with chakra chains, restraining them in the process. He showed no difficulty in subduing the Tailed Beasts, which speaks volumes about his power. And when he emerged as the Ten Tails jinchuriki, he got so strong that he could even summon meteorites!
Obito Uchiha Manipulated Kurama
Obito Acquired the Tailed Beasts
Just like Naruto, Obito Uchiha has a long history with the Tailed Beasts in the series. Not only did he use the Nine Tails in Konoha, but he also manipulated the Akatsuki, which fans know was an organization designed to acquire all the Tailed Beasts.
That’s not all, as Obito can use his Rinnegan to summon and control former jinchurikis with their respective Tailed Beasts by just using a chakra receiver. Long story short, Obito can singlehandedly defeat the Tailed Beasts.
Kaguya Otsutsuki Is Leagues Above the Tailed Beasts
The Tailed Beasts Are No Match for the Rabbit Goddess
As the final villain of Naruto, Kaguya Otsutsuki was a godlike being far stronger than the combined powers of the Tailed Beasts. Otherwise known as the Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya was an extraordinary Otsutsuki who transcended into a higher level after eating the fruit of the God Tree and awakening her Rinne Sharingan.
In comparison, even Ten-Tails Madara is inferior to her. By the end of the series, Kaguya got so strong that Naruto and Sasuke had no choice but to seal her with the Six Paths power of Yin and Yang just to vanquish her from Earth.
Hashirama Senju Subdued Eight Tailed Beasts
Hashirama Can Put the Tailed Beasts to Sleep
This list wouldn’t be complete without Hashirama Senju, who became famous for his ultra-rare Wood Release in Naruto. As fans know, Hashirama is also the first Hokage in the history of Konoha and the strongest rival of Madara Uchiha himself. He died undefeated, effectively making Madara a sore loser during his lifetime.
More than anything else, the shinobi world respects Hashirama for his ability to completely subdue not just one, but eight Tailed Beasts with his Wood Release. His wood constructs were so durable that they could withstand Tailed Beast Bombs. No wonder his DNA was highly coveted after his death.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki Created the Tailed Beasts
The Tailed Beasts Respect Hagoromo
Naturally, Hagoromo Otsutsuki is stronger than all the Tailed Beasts. After all, he is the creator of these chakra beasts, automatically making him superior to his creations. Just like Naruto, he is on friendly terms with the Tailed Beasts, treating them as his children and acting as their father figure.
Beyond this, Hagoromo is known as the founder of Ninshu, which later evolved into ninjutsu. Without him, the shinobi world may not have known anything about chakra manipulation and elemental release at all. He also possessed the Sharingan and Rinnegan, and he can even use Senjutsu! On top of that, he can generate 10 truth-seeking balls!
Hamura Otsutsuki Holds Terrifying Power
Hagoromo's Powerful Brother
It would be strange if this list denied Hamura Otsutsuki a place. He is Hagoromo’s brother and Kaguya’s son, making him a powerful being strong enough to take down the Tailed Beasts if he wants to.
Unlike Hagoromo, who wielded the Sharingan and Rinnegan, Hamura possessed the Byakugan and its advanced version, the Tenseigan. Along with Hagoromo, he successfully sealed Kaguya within the moon.
While Hagoromo can generate 10 Truth-Seeking Balls, Hamura can generate nine, but that doesn’t make him less of an Otsutsuki. His other powers include Six Paths Senjutsu, Six Paths Yin power, and more!
