Jiraiya
Jiraiya is one of the legendary Three Sannin of the Leaf Village, also known by the nickname “Toad Sage” as he was taught by the legendary toads of Mount Myoboku and can summon toads.
In addition to being a talented ninja, Jiraiya is a famous author who has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, so he has become a character in the series Naruto known as “the pervy sage.” Although he has this “pervy” trait, he is also recognized as a great teacher, having mentored many talented shinobi such as Minato, Naruto, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
Orochimaru
After the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru is known as a formidable combatant and one of the legendary Three Sannin of the Leaf Village.
During his training in the Leaf Village, Orochimaru was an exceptional ninja with the best combat skills, using the Summoning Technique long before Jiraiya and Tsunade. Later, Orochimaru defected from the village and spent a large part of his time researching science and developing new abilities.
Orochimaru is also a character that everyone hates in the Naruto series. He once attacked the Leaf Village, causing the death of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and leaving behind many terrible events that still haunt the village.
Hatake Kakashi
Kakashi is the leader of Team 7, the teacher of the famous trio Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. He is often referred to as “the genius of the Leaf Village” and later becomes the Hokage, widely respected by the people of Konoha. He is also an outstanding ninja known for his Copy Ninja title, possessing the ability to copy 1,000 jutsu using his Sharingan.
Kakashi’s achievements are remarkable, including graduating from ninja academy at the age of 5, becoming a Chunin at 6, and a Jonin at 13. He also spent a significant amount of time as an Anbu member. Therefore, Kakashi is always considered one of the best ninjas of the Leaf Village, highly regarded by everyone.
Haruno Sakura
Although Sakura is not the strongest ninja and does not have the highest reputation in the Leaf Village, we cannot deny that she is quite intelligent and is one of the best kunoichi of Konoha. Physically, she is also a member of Team 7 alongside Naruto and Sasuke, mentored by Hokage Kakashi and is Tsunade Senju’s apprentice. In terms of strength, her innate ability can be intimidating to others, and her medical ninjutsu has helped save many lives.
Notably, Sakura Haruno is Tsunade Senju’s apprentice, so she is also skilled in using the Mitotic Regeneration technique, indicated by the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead. The Mitotic Regeneration technique allows the user to recover from injuries without needing to rely on medical treatment and helps maintain their beauty even as they age.
Minato Namikaze
Minato Namikaze is one of the most talented ninjas in history and is considered one of the strongest ninjas in the world. He has a deep understanding of space-time ninjutsu taught by Jiraiya and Kushina, earning him the title “Yellow Flash of Konoha” for using the Flying Thunder God technique remarkably. As a result, he never hesitated to take risks and face challenges in battles throughout his life.
Minato Namikaze was also the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, regarded as one of the fastest shinobi in history. Minato possessed a considerable amount of chakra, allowing him to summon Gamabunta and transfer his consciousness into a Flying Thunder God technique. Minato’s chakra control was also very refined; he is the one who invented the Rasengan technique and could execute it using just one hand.
Might Guy
Might Guy is a character known for his strong martial arts techniques in Naruto. When using his strongest technique, the Eighth Gate of Death, Guy’s power rapidly increases, even to the point where he could have killed Madara Uchiha, who was the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails at that time. Madara himself acknowledged Guy’s strength in Taijutsu, stating, “I, Madara, declare you as the strongest.”
