Ranking all the Tailed Beasts in Naruto

Stuart RayBy 6 Mins Read Anime

The Tailed Beasts, which were created by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, are by far the most potent weapon utilised in the Naruto series, even though there are many formidable jutsus and shinobis. After he divided the chakra of the Ten-Tails into nine pieces, these creatures were produced. While they go by the names Tailed-Beasts or the less flattering Chakra Beasts, they are giant chakra forms that are capable of causing a great deal of harm. As such, they have been caught, transformed into human beings, and extracted at various points throughout the animated series as a power play tool. 

Taking everything into account, certain Tailed Beasts will inevitably be stronger over others, although they do individually have personalities and a variety of tails or other distinguishing characteristics. The Tailed Beasts are strong beings in the Naruto universe that have a tonne of chakra, the primordial energy that ninjas use to conduct all kinds of jutsu. 

Kurama and 9 other Tailed Beasts in Naruto who are ranked by power

10. Shukaku

The Chunin Exams arc introduced viewers to The One-Tailed Beast, Shukaku, who resembles a tanuki and seems to be a sand-based creature. He owns an enormous reserve of chakra. He takes a lot of pleasure in his ability to have an impenetrable defence, which is his specialisation. He can also use sand to attack, as was demonstrated during his conflict with Naruto Uzumaki. Shukaku also possesses the Magnetic Release Kekkei Genkai’s power and is modelled after a tanuki or raccoon dog.

9. Matatabi

After Shukaku, Matatabi, also known as the Two-Tails, is the second strongest tailed creature. Given that it is a feline and is modelled off a cat albeit with two tails, it is very agile and quick. It’s possible that Matatabi is the quickest Tailed Beast of them all. Fire Release is a skill that Matatabi can use as well as give to her Jinchuriki. It has a tremendous quantity of chakra and the ability to wield the Tailed Beast Ball to obliterate anything in its path, comparable to all the different Tailed Beasts.

8. Isobu

Powerful Tailed Beast Isobu, also referred to as the Three-Tails, formerly resided in Kirigakure. This creature has the unique ability to perform Water Release, which grants this power to all of its Jinchuriki. It uses this on a far larger scale than a typical ninja because his Jutsu was previously demonstrated to be powerful enough to easily crush cliffs. Isobu also has excellent defensive skills, which is to be anticipated of a turtle of size. It additionally possesses some experience with Space-Time Ninjutsu in the anime, which gives him a lot of versatility as a Tailed Beast.

7. Son Goku

The Four-Tails, also known as Son Goku, is a very potent Tailed Beast. Given that he is an ape and is familiar with the Rinnegan’s capabilities, Son Goku holds the opinion that apes are much more intelligent than humans. He is incredibly strong, and more importantly, he is capable of using the Magma Release Kekkei Genkai. With the aid of this strength, its Jinchuriki Roshi attained fame for his Kekkei Genkai. Of the many Tailed Beasts, Son Goku’s Kekkei Genkai is the strongest, making it particularly unique. Although it may be argued that he is the strongest Tailed Beast, given the number of tails he has, he is actually the fourth strongest. 

6. Kokuo

It can be challenging to identify the precise species that inspired a Tailed Beast. Kokuo, however, resembles a goat, a horse, a weasel, or even a hybrid of the three. Kokuo, also known as the Five-Tailed Beast, formerly owned Iwagakure. Kokuo battled Gyuki, the Eight-Tailed beast, and demonstrated its fighting prowess. In addition, Kokou possesses the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai power, which makes it very hazardous in combat. As demonstrated when Naruto Uzumaki employed it against Kaguya Otsuki and achieved great power, this ability quickly amplifies its powers to extremely high boundaries.

5. Saiken

The Six Tails, commonly referred to as Saiken, was originally located in Kirigakure’s Utakata. Like Isobu, this Tailed Beast is a master of the Water Release technique. However, its capacity to employ corrosive substances in combat is what distinguishes it. Despite not being naturally hostile, Saiken is incredibly deadly to engage in combat with. It is one of the strongest among Tailed Beasts because even a slight contact with its deadly fluid or gas can prove fatal. This is not surprising, considering the number of Tails it possesses, and as Kurama admitted, the number of tails are directly proportional to a Tailed Beast’s power. It resembles a giant slug.

4. Chomei

Because it is the only Tailed Beast that can fly, The Seven-Tails, Chomei, constitutes a unique Tailed Beast. This Tailed Beast once resided inside of Fu, its Jinchuriki, in Takigakure. Chomei, who has seven tails, is a formidable opponent. As evidenced by the battle against Kurama and Gyuki, Chomei appears to have the ability to blind people by using its wings. It also employs other insect-like abilities, such as biting. Sadly, much of its potential is still untapped today.

3. Gyuki

One among the strongest Tailed Beasts within the Naruto universe is the Eight-Tails, commonly referred to as Gyuki. Gyuki resides within Killer Bee, and the two have a close relationship. Gyuki is physically quite strong, as evidenced throughout Naruto Shippuden. It was effective at eliminating several Tailed Beasts in one go. Gyuki has the ability to create ink, however it hardly ever employs this ability in battle because it is rarely necessary. It can also summon a potent Tailed Beast Ball with enough strength to easily destroy mountains. Gyuki looks like a bull was superimposed on the body of an octopus. 

2. Kurama

Kurama was unquestionably the most powerful of the nine Tailed Beasts. Just to prove how strong it was, during the fourth great ninja war, half of Kurama’s power was sufficient to defeat five Tailed Beasts simultaneously. Because it had the most tails, Kurama also thought it would be the strongest Tailed Beast. Its full power made it possible for Naruto Uzumaki to defeat Toneri Otsutsuki and other powerful opponents in combat. That is hardly surprising as he is the main Tailed Beast of the story and belongs to the protagonist.

1. Ten-tails

The Ten-Tails is without a doubt the toughest of the Tailed Beasts. It eventually sprung back to life during the course of the fourth Great Ninja War and ransacked the battlefield. The Ten-Tails is more powerful than all of the Nine-Tailed Beasts combined, and its abilities are incomparable to theirs. Ten Tails are believed to be powerful enough to annihilate an entire planet and have the ability to swallow mountains and oceans. There is only one catch: it needs to be encased inside of someone in order to exert its full power. It’s definitely for the best because if it didn’t, it would be too dangerous to consider.
