Naruto is an eclectic show that features various characters and villages, including rebellious Kumogakure, ruled by strong shinobi led by the Raikage. Each Raikage in this list is ranked based on their strength and fighting power. Let’s explore how each warlord has contributed to Naruto.
Nidaime Raikage (Second Raikage- A)
The Second Raikage served as the First Raikage’s bodyguard and proved to be an effective character in combat. However, due to his limited screen time and lack of feats, his overall potential is unclear, and we have little insight into what truly makes him better than the others. As a result, the Second Raikage is ranked at the bottom of the list.
Darui (Fifth Raikage- A)
Darui grew up in the Resistance and became an impressive shinobi with a high chakra pool and exceptional skills in kenjutsu and Black Lightning release, which he may have inherited from the Third Raikage. His versatility, intelligence, and the potent Lightning Release: Black Panther jutsu are the reasons for his outstanding performance. It is worth noting that Darui’s victory against the Gold and Silver Brothers solidified his position as part of the Raikage dynasty.
Shodai Raikage (First Raikage- A)
The First Raikage is an enigma in the Naruto series, and we have limited insight into his characterization. However, hints suggest that he possessed excellent administrative skills and was a strong leader who founded Kumogakure. His pride and bravery towards his nation defined the subsequent Godaime, leaving behind a massive Kimimaro legacy within Kumogakure.
Yondaime Raikage (Fourth Raikage- A)
Killer Bee, the famed Fourth Raikage kin, holds a position among the series’ strongest. He is deft in nintaijutsu, a combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu, which gives him impressive fighting skills. Known for his excellent speed and strength, he was the world’s fastest ninja after Minato’s death. His ability to endure pain and injury puts him on the same level as a leading Raikage. For example, his self-amputation control of Amaterasu makes him one of the toughest among his comrades.
Sandaime Raikage (Third Raikage- A)
Sandaime Raikage is from the third-generation Raikage of the village. Also known as the strongest Raikage, ‘A’ has an ability that stems from a unique combination. The combination of taijutsu and ninjutsu is also acknowledged by the Eight-Tails. He has an incredibly hardy body that can withstand hits that would leave an ordinary shinobi defenseless. His phenomenal chakra and stamina enable him to race for three days and two nights, making his endurance remarkable. However, his weakness lies in his activation technique – the Hell Stabbing Technique, which allows him to move quickly before stabbing the enemy with his finger. His physical abilities are strengthened by the Lightning Chakra Mode.
The Kumogakure’s Raikages are diverse as they all differ in their values and paramount key capabilities despite all being verified. Some, like the shadowy Second Raikage, still wander in the murky darkness of their past, while others, like the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage, remain engraved in our minds as vivid examples of strength. This guide presents a little insight tour on Naruto that hails each Raikage for being the strongest and superior.
