Every Kage Level Naruto Character

I spent a while putting this list together but I could have missed some characters. If you think I did, let me know in the comments. Same rules as usual though, I'm only covering Naruto / Shippuden and only stuff that's manga canon, so no filler or whatever.

[khirek]

9:37 notice how he didn't say stronger than kakuzu?👀

[vanyerrell]

You forgot the guy who fought Madara in the fourth war for like 6 seconds with a sword. Dude is definitely kage level.

[styxxiii]

Sasori having beaten the Kazekage before getting his puppet body is probably the most underrated feat in the show.

[TonberryShuffle]

Gotta remember, Pain could only destroy Konoha because Ten Ten was away on a mission.

[antoniomcneary]

Tenten's strength as kage level comes from never being seen onscreen long enough. A true Ninja

[braden]

Konan may have turned an ocean into 600 Billion paper bombs but that doesn't even come close Hiruzen's most powerful jutsu, the roof tile shuriken.

[Nabrix]

I think its important to mention the spoiled milk that Naruto drank that completely destroyed him. Definitely Kage level

[Masckerdoom]

This is the only dude who talks about anime power levels without sounding annoying or arbitrary, that's why i'm subbed

[FIRE-LOTUS]

Temari is kage level. She managed to blow dust on Madara's armor.

[Inazarab]

Konan is one of the most underrated characters in Naruto and deserved a lot more screentime.

[ImCaitlyn]

Given how this show progresses it'd be easier to make a list of characters that aren't kage level

[JuniorPolancoConcepcion]

There's a reason why Kisame is called the “Tailless Tailed Beast”. He has a massive amount of chakra and know how to use it.

[mackenziebarefoot]

Haku was the same age as Naruto on the bridge fight, honestly has one the coolest abilities in the series

[Ethan-sqhz]

You forgot Might Duy (Guy’s father), he was able to open the 8th gate and fought all seven swordsman of the most and killed at least four. Guy has to open the seventh gate for kisame and if each of the swordsman had at least half kisames strength he would need to have opened the 8th gate. He also didn’t know Daytime tiger which means he would have needed the destructiveness of the 8th gate.

[deltalord]

Aoba is definitely kage level dude made kakazu retreat. The man with immense *RAW DURABILITY* that could beat pain easily. Even sage kabuto was wary of him.

[tylerbenjamin]

Surprising how dude is stil able to make naruto content this far after its ending

[Sonic]

Yo, you forgot that by direct feets, Ramen guy, Teuchi, is directly responsible for feeding all kage from 3-7, has fed the entire village for decades, has fed the entire war arc after their victory, and has even gone toe to toe with Kaguya before.

Maybe the last one didn’t happen but he’s definitely the strongest Kage here

[lChannighanl]

The most interesting thing about Naruto is: by the time they fight Zabuza in the very beginning, every major villian from that point on was easily A or S rank. This list is large but it makes tons of sense.

[deadevermore]

Always took the Kimmimaro statement about "if he wasn't sick the assassination would have gone smoothly" as Kabuto saying "If he wasn't sick and you were able to take control of his body you would have beaten the third" but that's just from my viewpoint

[nayu]

"Every Kage is Kage level."
Swag's galaxy brain is beyond all control.
