Naruto is the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a young boy who aims to become the Hokage and make everyone respect him in the ninja world. Being a story heavily focused on ninja combat, it's no surprise that Naruto features quite a lot of weapons.
While most of them, such as Kunai and shuriken, are rather average and nothing too special, there are certainly some weapons that are feared across the world and others that hold the power to destroy the entire world if they end up in the wrong hands.
Updated on June 23, 2023, by Rei Penber: The world of Naruto is incredibly massive and it features many powerful shinobi who fight using various battle styles. Usage of unique weapons is not rare in the Naruto world and fans have already witnessed countless of these overpowered weapons throughout the run of the story. Kishimoto did an incredible job of illustrating various weapons and the many ways that they could be used. While this list already goes over the strongest of weapons that fans got to see in Naruto, there are quite a few new ones that have been introduced in the continuation of the story and, thus, deserve a mention of their own. As such come on this list has been updated accordingly.
19 Absorbing Eye
The Absorbing Eye was introduced to the fans through Delta of Kara in the sequel to Naruto, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The Absorbing Eye, as the name suggests, is simply a mechanical eye that helps the user absorb any form of chakra thrown at them. Delta used it extensively in her fight against Naruto Uzumaki.
She could absorb powerful techniques such as the Rasengan and even the jutsu powered by Six Paths Chakra. This In itself made this eye incredibly overpowered, however, the only weakness of this eye was that it had a limit to how much chakra it could absorb. When Naruto created an incredibly massive Rasengan and continue to pour chakra into her, the eye overloaded and eventually stopped working. Nonetheless, it is an incredible weapon.
18 Absorbing Hand
The Absorbing Hand in Naruto works quite similarly to the Absorbing Eye. This hand was created as a prototype based on the chakra-absorbing powers of Momoshiki Otsutsuki. As the name suggests, this hand allows the user to absorb any kind of chakra. Naruto Uzumaki demonstrated its usage in a short training match against his son, Boruto Uzumaki. He was seen absorbing jutsu such as Water Release with ease.
While this weapon does allow the user to absorb chakra just like Momoshiki, it cannot yet expel the chakra back as Momoshiki did with his Rinnegan. Nonetheless, this weapon is incredibly useful and, given that it is still being worked upon, a better version of it might come along in the future of the story. Sadly, the Absorbing Hand has not been used ever since it debuted in the story and fans expect it to be much more important going forward in Boruto.
17 Shinobi Gauntlet
The Shinobi Gauntlet is yet another Scientific Ninja Tool that was introduced to the fans in the sequel to Naruto, Boruto. It was actually the very first Scientific Tool that was introduced to the fans in Boruto and it made its way to the screens in Boruto: Naruto The Movie. As evident from the name, the Shinobi Gauntlet is a gauntlet worn around the wrist of the user. It is actually incredibly useful as it allows the user to use any kind of Jutsu that they desire.
The jutsu is sealed within tiny scrolls before use of this weapon is made. These scrolls can then be fit inside the Shinobi Gauntlet and launched whenever the user desires, without the need of kneading chakra, knowing hand seals, or even possessing the particular Nature Transformation. The Shinobi Gauntlet is extremely overpowered as ninjas can use any sort of Jutsu they desire with it without even training for it. While it is not the ideal tool for the growth of a shinobi, it can surely help many others who are truly in its need.
16 Sasori (Puppet)
Sasori was one of the members of the Akatsuki and also one of the very first ones that fans fully got to see in combat. He was one of the main antagonists of the Kazekage Rescue wrc where he ended up fighting against Sakura and Chiyo in an enthralling combat. Sasori made use of the Third Kazekage in his fight, however, it was also revealed later on that Sasori had turned himself into a puppet as well.
The Sasori puppet was incredibly dangerous and most likely the most dangerous one that he had under his belt. With incredible firepower that was great enough to take down the might of an entire nation, Sasori was a threat to anyone. After his death, the Sasori puppet eventually found its way to Kankuro, who is its current user and is incredibly strong at this point in time.
15 Adamantine Staff
The Adamantine Staff is a summon weapon that was used by the Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi. This weapon required Hiruzen to summon Enma, the Monkey King first. Fans know Enma to be an incredibly dangerous summon and one of the strongest in the entire series. This summoning could take on even Sannin level of fighters without much trouble. When he was in needed extra aid in combat, Enma could transform into an Adamantine Staff that cannot be scratched at all and possesses incredible toughness.
With this weapon, Hiruzen could break through even jutsu as powerful as Wood Release. What's more, he was seen pushing a full-fledged Kurama out of Konoha with his Adamantine Staff without any trouble whatsoever. It goes without saying that this weapon is incredibly overpowered and while it isn't the strongest in Naruto, it certainly deserves a shout of its own.
14 Killer Bee's 7 Swords
Killer Bee debuted in the Naruto series after Sasuke's clash with his brother, Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke eventually ended up fighting Bee and, to everyone's surprise, he was met with a challenger who nearly killed him twice.
Killer Bee made use of seven extremely sharp blades in combat, holding them in very weird positions yet being remarkably efficient with them. Despite Sasuke having a Mangekyo Sharingan, Bee's blades were so fast that he couldn't react to them or prevent himself from getting sliced apart.
13 Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword
Sasuke Uchiha wields the Kusanagi blade just like Orochimaru, however, his version of the sword appears to be slightly different somehow. Sasuke's sword is quite long and allows him to deal a lot of damage to those he fights.
Sasuke is also able to channel electricity through the Kusanagi sword to increase its cutting power. At its best, this blade was able to cute through Kubikiribocho, which makes it one of the best Naruto weapons. Sasuke replaced his Kusanagi blade after the Fourth Great Ninja War but whether it has any new abilities or not remains to be seen.
12 Chakra Rods
Chakra rods are a special weapon that not just anyone can produce since only those blessed with the power of the Six Paths and the Rinnegan can make use of this ability. This ability was introduced to fans through Pain, who could create chakra rods from his body and use them to stab people.
The rods are quite dangerous, not just because they inflict lethal injuries on others but also because they directly send in the wielder's chakra into their bodies and disrupt their own flow, making it impossible to fight. The likes of Jiraiya fell to this technique.
11 Shurado
Shurado is one of the most underrated abilities of the Rinnegan but is a dangerous one nonetheless. Shurado allows any Rinnegan user to summon various mechanized armor and even other weapons such as energy cannons.
Very few people have made use of this Path and while it might not look as impressive as the other Paths, it is certainly quite useful. Shurado packs tremendous power when compared to your average Naruto weapons, depending on which weapon it is using. Shurado's abilities have earned it the name of "Warring Demon," which just goes to show the fear that it instills in the enemies.
10 Gunbai Uchiwa
Also known as Gunbai Fan, this weapon is one of the best that the Uchiha clan possessed in the Naruto series. It was used quite often by Madara Uchiha while he was in his prime and Obito Uchiha after him.
This fan has special properties that allow it to reflect any chakra back at the user by turning it into wind natured transformation. It is also quite durable and has served the Uchiha clan members for generations upon generations.
9 Kubikiribocho
Kubikiribocho, also known as the Executioner's Blade, is one of the strongest blades to exist in Kirigakure. This sword was first wielded by Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist. Later on in the story, Suigetsu started wielding this sword and others, such as Killer Bee and Kakashi Hatake, have also wielded it.
It is believed that this sword is incredibly sharp and most of all, it grows stronger by consuming the blood of its enemies. If broken, the sword can repair itself by absorbing the iron present in the blood of those that it slays.
8 Hiramekarei
Another powerful sword, Hiramekarei is wielded by none other than the Sixth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Chojuro. However, it wasn't Chojuro who made this blade famous. Before him, Mangetsu Hozuki, one of the strongest ninjas that the Mist ever produced, was its wielder.
Even though Mangetsu had great proficiency over all seven swords, his weapon of choice appeared to be Hiramekarei. This sword has the ability to absorb the user's chakra and shape itself like various weapons.
7 Kusanagi Blade
Wielded by Orochimaru, Kusanagi Blade is known to be a legendary weapon in the Naruto world. When used against Hiruzen Sarutobi, this sword was seen being manipulated telekinetically.
Against Naruto Uzumaki, the Kusanagi Blade was seen extending to a great degree, showing its unique powers. Sasuke Uchiha also wields the Kusanagi Blade, however, what exactly is special about his sword isn't known.
6 Third Kazekage Puppet
Created by none other than Sasori, the Third Kazekage Puppet was a human puppet with every power that the Kazekage had. Using it, Sasori could make full use of powers such as the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.
That, when combined with the ability to use various poisons makes the Third Kazekage Puppet extremely dangerous when under the right puppeteer. Being regarded as one of the strongest Kage in Sunagakure's history, it is no surprise that this weapon is extremely dangerous.
5 Yata Mirror
Yata Mirror is one of the ethereal weapons in the world of Naruto that even the likes of Orochimaru couldn't locate. It belonged to none other than Itachi Uchiha, and he used it through his Susano'o.
Yata Mirror has the unique ability to neutralize any jutsu that is thrown towards it by altering every single attribute. Having no particular form, the Yata Mirror could negate both physical and spiritual attacks, making it the perfect form of defense in the story.
4 Totsuka Blade
The Totsuka Blade is another of the ethereal weapons in the world of Naruto and was also wielded by Itachi Uchiha. This sword was incredibly powerful and was wielded by Itachi Uchiha's Susano'o. It held the power to trap anyone it made contact within a world of genjutsu for eternity.
According to Zetsu, this power, when combined with the Yata Mirror, made Itachi Uchiha's Susano'o practically invincible.
3 Treasured Tools Of The Six Paths
The Treasured Tools of the Six Paths were all wielded by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths at one point and all of them possessed tremendous powers. In the Fourth Great Ninja War, these tools were wielded by different characters, however, with much less efficiency than Hagoromo.
Those who master these weapons gain powers that far surpass even the Five Kage put together, which just goes to show how incredible they are. The only downside of these weapons was that they consumed a tremendous amount of chakra and could even kill regular humans.
2 Chakra Cannon
After the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kumogakure progressed in the field of science by leaps and bounds and managed to develop a powerful chakra cannon.
Although the weapon took time and a lot of chakra to prepare, once completed, it could generate enough power to blow up the entire moon without any trouble whatsoever. As such, it could also destroy a planet and easily ranks among the strongest weapons in the story.
1 Sword of Nunoboko
Known to have been wielded by the Sage of Six Paths himself, the Nunoboko sword was a powerful weapon created from Truth-Seeking Orbs. This weapon is known to have been powerful enough to shape the entire world and, if the user wishes so, it can just as easily destroy the world.
Obito Uchiha used a version of this sword in the Fourth Great Ninja War but still failed to defeat Naruto and Sasuke. However, under Hagoromo, this weapon was likely much stronger.
