Here’s a look at the strongest members of the Ōtsutsuki clan and some narrative evidence to help determine who among them is the most powerful.
The Ōtsutsuki clan is by far the strongest introduced clan in the entire naruto franchise. They regularly use the power of the Ten-Tails and the Divine Tree Chakra Fruit to amass power for themselves. When these great powers were formally introduced to the series, they could only be described as immeasurable. However, something about this description has changed over time. It still applies, but its meaning has been extended to encompass more characters.
Walk into Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, several more members of the Ōtsutsuki clan have been introduced. While they are certainly strong, there has to be some way to determine who is the strongest. While nothing is directly said, various lines of dialogue and actions taken are available to suggest how the Ōtsutsuki rank against one another. With that said, here are some of the strongest Ōtsutsuki in shinobi history, where their power comes from, and which one of them could be called the strongest.
The divine Kaguya was virtually unstoppable
Kaguya was without a doubt the strongest character featured in the original. naruto Serie. He acquired divine power from it by eating the Chakra Fruit of Earth’s Divine Tree. That chakra spread among his children, as well as among his descendants and the people who would become shinobi. She makes the only purpose of it is to retrieve the scattered chakra from her and have the Divine Tree produce another Chakra Fruit.
When it was introduced to naruto Well, she was almost unstoppable. It took the combined efforts of the original Team 7, Obito, and the spirit of her son Hagoromo just to seal it. As the Mother of Chakra, her best theoretical effort would be more powerful than any ninja on Earth could possibly be.
Momoshiki’s ultimate form required Naruto and Sasuke to be defeated
Momoshiki was introduced in boruto as the real reason why Kaguya wanted so much power. According to Sasuke, Kaguya might have been trying to amass power and cultivate an army of White Zetsu to fight potential invaders from the Ōtsutsuki clan. This implies that, as powerful as she was, she was worried about her odds if she ever had to face her own kind.
Momoshiki was quite powerful at first, but was able to develop further by consuming his partner Kinshiki. The resulting new form of him required the combined efforts of Naruto and Sasuke to overcome; It’s never stated directly, but many fans believe that these two have become strong enough to fight Kaguya. Finally, he was finished off with a well-placed parent-child Rasengan. The way he’s built makes him sound powerful, but his on-screen performance leaves his true potential nebulous.
Isshiki was a formidable foe, despite his handicaps.
Unlike the other Ōtsutsuki, Isshiki’s powers are actually severely limited. She arrived on Earth along with a lower ranked Kaguya; her plan was to sacrifice her to the Divine Tree and eat the resulting Chakra Fruit, but Kaguya turned on him and left him for dead. Isshiki survived by taking over the monk Jigen, whose body lasted him all the way to the time of boruto. However, by this time, Jigen’s body was on the verge of decomposition and Isshiki needed to transfer to a new host through Kāma.
Despite all his handicaps, Isshiki was still the strongest Ōtsutsuki thus far. He was able to beat Naruto and Sasuke in a two on one fight. The goal of defeating him became holding him back until his body died, which required Naruto to sacrifice Kurama. It’s scary to think what Isshiki would be like in the best conditions.
Final verdict: Who was the strongest?
Amongst these top tier Ōtsutsuki, Isshiki is probably the strongest Naruto, Boruto and their friends have had to face. Momoshiki was tough but manageable. Kaguya might have been unbeatable in his prime, but there’s no way to tell without rendering every other chakra user on Earth helpless. Isshiki was able to make even adult versions of history’s strongest ninja fall before him. In any case, these celestial beings make it clear that the Ōtsutsuki clan is no to play.
