Naruto is the home to many strong characters who have made a name for themselves with their strength. These characters possess incredible skill and knowledge that makes them stand out from the rest of the characters. Being able to use different types of natures is a huge advantage.
It allows a character to counter an opponent's attack rather easily. There are a total of five basic natures in Naruto—Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Wind Release, and Lightning Release. Only a handful of characters have been able to master all five of them.
UPDATED on August 13th, 2022, by Suzail Ahmad: Naruto Shippuden might have ended, but the introduction of new characters continues in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The sequel consists of a multitude of new characters, and some of them are actually interesting. So far, the biggest antagonists in Boruto have been members of the Otsutsuki clan. The true extent of their powers is unknown, but as the series continues, the secrets of the Otsutsuki clan will definitely be revealed. The ones that have been introduced in the series so far have managed to defeat even the strongest of ninjas and they have access to all kinds of jutsu. With that in mind, we have added more characters who can use all the five basic natures.
17 Toneri Otsutsuki
Toneri was the main villain of Naruto: The Last. The Otsutsuki wanted to get his hands on the Tenseigan to carry out Hamura's will. In order to accomplish his goal, Toneri stole Hanabi's eyes, which allowed him to awaken the Tenseigan.
After awakening the Tenseigan, Toneri was able to use all the five basic natures. In addition to this, Toneri gained the Tenseigan Chakra mode in which he received access to the Truth Seeking Balls. Despite being so powerful, Toneri was defeated rather easily by Naruto Uzumaki, who didn't even have to use his Six Paths powers.
16 Momoshiki Otsutsuki
Momoshiki Otsutsuki came to Earth to get his hands on the chakra fruit, but he realized that Kaguya has stolen the fruit for herself and this left Momoshiki furious. After sensing Naruto's enormous chakra, Momoshiki went to the Hidden Lead to fight the Hokage. During their fight, Naruto had to hold back because he couldn't afford to cause damage to the village, so he allowed himself to be taken away.
Like most members of the Otsutsuki clan, Momoshiki had one of the Three Great Dojutsu. He had the Rinnegan as well as the Byakugan. The Rinnegan allowed him to absorb Jutsu and release it with more power, while the Byakugan helped him to see the tenkutsu on another person's body. The Rinnegan also allowed Momoshiki to utilize all five kinds of basic natures.
15 Asura Otsutsuki
He was the youngest son of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Asura Otsutsuki was born without any real skill, while his elder brother, Indra was immensely talented. However, there was one thing that Indra lacked and that was the will to help others. With time Asura grew stronger, and once Hagoromo gave him the Six Paths chakra, Asura became unstoppable as he was able to use all the five nature releases.
Hagoromo also named Asura as his successor and this started a feud between the two brothers. The power of the Six Paths chakra enabled Asura to defeat his elder brother. This victory solidified Asura's status as one of the most powerful characters in the series.
14 Hashirama Senju
The First Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, Hashirama was an outstanding ninja. He was well-known for using the Wood Release, which is one of the strongest Kekkei Genkai in the series.

10 Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi Hatake is one of the strongest characters in the series. From an early age, Kakashi was considered to be an elite ninja. He mentored Team 7 and turned them into a group of strong ninjas.

9 Nagato Uzumaki
Nagato Uzumaki was the leader of Akatsuki. He took over the reins from Yahiko when he killed himself. As a kid, Nagato was implanted with the Rinnegan, and over time he managed to gain control over the Dojutsu.
