  • Unique Jutsu: Wood Style
  • Sage Mode

Hashirama Senju was hailed as the strongest Shinobi of his time. He was the only one who was able to rival Madara Uchiha and beat him in a duel. Hashirama was able to achieve this feat due to his Wood Style jutsu, which helped him even subdue Tailed Beasts with ease. Furthermore, he possessed Sage Mode, which gave him great chakra reserves. This allowed him to cast devastating jutsu that could overpower anyone challenging him. This was such a rare ability that Konoha tried to replicate Hashirama's Wood Style technique numerous times through experimentation. Among those experiments, only one was able to successfully use it and that's Yamato.

7 Tobirama Senju

The Second Hokage Of The Leaf

Tobirama Senju in Naruto
  • Unique Jutsu: Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation

Tobirama was a gifted shinobi like his brother, and he possessed immense knowledge that even surpassed Hashirama's. Throughout his lifetime, Tobirama created numerous jutsu that everyone used. Without him, some of the most basic jutsu wouldn't have been invented, which range from Shadow Clone Jutsu to something that helped Kabuto change the course of the entire ninja war. The most powerful jutsu was the reincarnation technique, which can bring anyone back from death as an undead using a vessel. The undead are usually at the command of the caster, and the caster can also take control of their body at will.

He was able to achieve this using a technique called the Flying Thunder God, and it allowed him to teleport anywhere he put his mark or seal. Minato truly mastered this technique, even surpassing Tobirama. On top of all this, Minato was the master of using sealing techniques, which he learned from the Uzumaki clan.

3 Danzo Shimura

The Darkness of the Shinobi

Danzo
  • Unique Jutsu: Izanagi

Danzo was the most hated character in the Naruto series, and he made his debut after Tsunade was incapacitated. Danzo showed his trump card when he fought against Sasuke, called Izanagi. It is a powerful Dojutsu that allows the user to rewrite reality itself. One downside is that after using it, the Sharingan is permanently blinded. This made Sasuke very cautious in their fight, and he had to overcome this overpowered ability with skill and genius-level intellect alone.

2 Kakashi Hatake

The Copy Ninja

The Hokage Position Has Died A Symbolic Death In Boruto
  • Unique Jutsu: Purple Lightning

Kakashi possesses countless jutsu in his arsenal, and there is only one jutsu that he invented himself, which is Chidori. Originally, it was an attempt at the Rasengan, in which he added lightning nature to increase its penetration as well as destructive power. The result was the Chidori. Later in his life, Kakashi was able to create Purple Electricity, which is equally as powerful, and is more viable for Kakashi to use after losing his Sharingan.

Hiruzen was the oldest Hokage to ever serve the Hidden Leaf Village. He was a force to be reckoned with, as even at his old age, he was deemed the strongest Kage. Furthermore, in his youth, he was said to be stronger than Tobirama, which says a lot about him. On top of that, he could use every single technique, even Hiden ones. Among his abilities, the one that stands out the most is his Summoning of Monkey King. This summoning can turn into a staff that is very durable and flexible enough to destroy almost anything in its path. It is also independent, which allows it to move and attack opponents on its own.
