  • Strongest Technique: Kamui

Obito had a troubled past that turned him into a threat to the entire world. This weakness was exploited by Madara to plunge the world into chaos. Nonetheless, Obito possessed an insane Mangekyō Sharingan ability called Kamui, which allowed him to make his entire body intangible using space-time Ninjutsu. Kamui made Obito immune to almost every attack used against him, rendering him extremely troublesome to deal with. Only a few were ever able to overcome this technique.

  • Strongest Technique: Kamui Raikiri

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kakashi did his best to help his teammates, but the enemies he faced were out of his league. With the revival of Kaguya, Team Seven faced a threat that vastly exceeded their strength, and Kakashi felt hopeless. However, Obito had one last gift for Kakashi and that was his remaining chakra, which granted him insane power. With these newfound abilities, Kakashi was able to overpower Kaguya for a brief moment. He used his ultimate move, Kamui Raikiri, which was powerful enough to injure Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra.

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke of the Sharingan

Sasuke Villain Naruto boruto
  • Strongest Technique: Indra's Arrow

By the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke was in a league of his own. His strength reached such heights that he fought toe-to-toe against Naruto. This was all thanks to the power he received from the Sage of Six Paths. His eyes also received a massive buff, allowing him to cast a Genjutsu on all the Tailed Beasts at once. At the Final Valley, Sasuke used the chakra of all the Tailed Beasts to create his most powerful jutsu, called Indra's Arrow. This move was so devastating that Naruto had to use his absolute strongest technique just to match it.
