Top 10 Least Powerful Characters in Naruto

News: Naruto has gained worldwide fame for its intense action sequences. The core of this action mostly revolves around clashes between opposing ninja, each equipped with a range of unique jutsu. These ninja typically possess varying degrees of skill in ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. While all jutsu have their battlefield utility, some stand out as notably more effective and potent than others.

Within the ninja community, while everyone possesses combat skills, some individuals inherently lack the prowess of others due to limited chakra reserves, low stamina, or constrained skill sets. Although only the strongest characters wield immensely powerful and destructive jutsu, even those considered weaker have access to surprisingly robust abilities.

1. Shikamaru Nara

Shikamaru’s strength lies not in substantial chakra or exceptional taijutsu skills but in his remarkable intellect. Demonstrating unparalleled strategic brilliance, he’s regarded as one of the smartest characters in anime. As a member of the Nara Clan, he utilizes the Shadow Possession Jutsu, enabling him to manipulate his shadow to control and restrict his opponent’s movements, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

2. Kiba Inuzuka

Kiba, although with a distinctive fighting style, had limited involvement in the latter part of the series. A member of the Inuzuka Clan, he fights alongside his loyal ninja dog, Akamaru, employing a unique cooperation ninjutsu. His most formidable technique, the Inuzuka Style: Man-Beast Team Transformation Combo: Three-Headed Wolf, transforms Kiba and Akamaru into a powerful three-headed wolf, capable of swift and destructive attacks that can penetrate multiple Ten-Tails’ clones.

3. Black Zetsu

Even deceiving the formidable Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, revealed as the physical manifestation of Kaguya Otsutsuki, possessed remarkable abilities such as Wood Release and chakra absorption. Despite these skills, it lacked combat strength. During the conflict with Naruto and Sasuke, it replaced Kaguya’s lost arm and wielded the lethal All-Killing Ash Bones technique, capable of disintegrating its targets upon piercing them.

4. Konohamaru

Being the grandson of the 3rd Hokage, Konohamaru carried high expectations within the Leaf Village. Inspired by Naruto, he learned many of Naruto’s jutsu, including the Rasengan.

5. Hinata Hyuga

Hinata’s polite and kind nature, seen as a weakness by her father, led to her disinheritance. As a Hyuga, she possesses the Byakugan and mastered a high-level Gentle Fist technique through training with Neji.

6. Hidan

Among the Akatsuki, Hidan stood as the weakest member. Devoted to the Jashin religion, he attained a form of immortality through forbidden techniques. Without this immortality, he would have been vulnerable to even chunin-level opponents.

7. Shino Aburame

Despite being an intriguing character, Shino received limited screen time among the Konoha 11. As an Aburame Clan member, he uses insects living within his body as weapons during battle.

8. Karin

Karin, taken by Orochimaru after growing up in the Grass Village, possesses strong sensory abilities but lacks combat skills. As an Uzumaki Clan member, she possesses immense chakra reserves and healing abilities.

9. Ino Yamanaka

Part of the Yamanaka Clan specializing in mind-related jutsu, Ino mastered techniques like the Mind Transfer Jutsu, known for its effectiveness and danger.

10. Might Duy

Might Duy’s lack of proficiency in ninjutsu and genjutsu led to frequent mission failures, preventing his promotion to chunin. However, his dedication to taijutsu allowed him to unlock all Eight Inner Gates.”
