There will be always a debate among fans about the best characters in Naruto, the best clans, and even the best clan members in the anime. Apart from the infamous Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki Clan is one of the most powerful clans in the world of Naruto. However, looking back at the anime, Naruto’s Uzumaki clan is underrated even though it produced some of the most talented and formidable shinobi in the series. If you are intrigued about the Uzumaki clan and its most powerful members, you have come to the right place. In this article, we have made a list of the 10 strongest members of the Uzumaki clan in Naruto anime.
Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers about the Uzumaki clan members. We suggest you watch the anime and read the manga first to avoid ruining your experience.
Apparently, there are only 12 known members of the Uzumaki Clan in the universe of Naruto. But two of them, namely Karin’s mother and Menma Uzumaki, are anime- and movie-only characters. Since they are non-canon characters, we have compiled a list of the remaining 10 Uzumaki Clan members in Naruto (ranked best to worst). So let’s jump right in:
1. Naruto Uzumaki
![Best Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/naruto.jpg?w=640)
- Debut: Episode 1, Manga Chapter 1
- Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release, Boil Release, and Magnet Release
- Nature type: Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Fire Release, Lava Release, Magnet Release, Boil Release, Yin Release, Yang Release, Yin–Yang Release.
- Ninja Rank: Hokage
It’s a cakewalk for Naruto Uzumaki to top any list as he is the greatest shinobi to ever exist. Naruto may have been a mischievous boy at the beginning of the show, but his hardships and never-ending perseverance allowed him to become one of the greatest. Through many years of rigorous training and legendary battles, Naruto became the strongest shinobi in history and achieved his dream by becoming the Seventh Hokage of Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village).
So undoubtedly, Naruto is the strongest Uzumaki clan member to grace the earth right now. We will have to wait and see if his children can surpass him in the future.
Being termed the strongest-ever shinobi tells us a lot about Naruto’s illustrious powers and abilities. He excels in Ninjutsu and has gigantic reserves of powerful chakra that greatly help him with his numerous Rasengan techniques. He doesn’t have Sharingan or Rinnegan, but his Jinchūriki Transformations are on another level. Naruto’s various modes, such as the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Tailed Beast Mode, and now the supreme Baryon Mode, are the pinnacle of his powers. Additionally, he can use various sage modes as well.
2. Nagato
![Pain - Best Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Nagato.jpg?w=640)
- Debut: Shippuden Episode 128, Manga Chapter 372
- Kekkei Genkai: Rinnegan
- Nature type: Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, Water Release, and Yang Release
- Ninja Classification: S-rank
Nagato was also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan in Naruto and lived in his Amegakure homeland. When his parents were killed in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he awakened his Rinnegan (which was implanted by Madara). From there on, he founded the Akatsuki with his friends and vowed to put a full stop to the hatred and war among the nations. But after a series of tragic events, he spiraled towards the darker side and adopted the alias “Pain” to wreak havoc all over the world to achieve true peace.
Nagato was the leader of the Akatsuki and one of the strongest members on their side. He was hailed as the second strongest shinobi to be reincarnated after Madara himself during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Pain was highly skilled in Ninjutsu as he was trained by the well-known and legendary Sannin, Jiraiya. Furthermore, his Rinnegan greatly increased his powers, backed by his massive chakra reserves. He was also considered a great sensor-type ninja for his chakra-sensing skills. Finally, he created the Six Paths of Pain, which resulted in him becoming the most formidable antagonist we ever saw in Naruto, as he could perform feats that no one could dream of.
3. Hinata

- Debut: Episode 1, Manga Chapter 34
- Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan
- Nature type: Fire Release and Lightning Release
- Ninja Rank: Chūnin
Hinata was born in the Hyuga clan but become an official member of the Uzumaki clan after marrying Naruto. Along with her husband, she was mocked as a weak and undeserving member of the Hyuga clan. But later on, she went on to prove everyone wrong with her potent prowesses. Additionally, she was regarded as the “Byakugan Princess” by Hamura Ōtsutsuki, which is an impressive feat.
Hinata trained hard over the years to sharpen her mastery over the Gentle Fist technique and combined it with her supreme Byakugan to further elevate her powers. She is known to have advanced levels of control over her chakra. Although Hinata can’t perform Ninjutsu at a higher level, she mastered the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and many more techniques that we saw in the war. Therefore, she is the perfect pair to the greatest shinobi in history.
4. Boruto
![Boruto - Best Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/boruto.jpg?w=640)
- Debut: Boruto Episode 1, Manga Chapter 700
- Kekkei Genkai: Jōgan
- Nature type: Wind Release, Lightning Release, and Water Release.
- Ninja Rank: Genin
Boruto Uzumaki is the next in the cards to become the greatest shinobi in history, beating his father Naruto. He was born to Naruto and Hinata, and as a result, he hails from the powerful bloodlines of Uzumaki and Hyuga. He is deemed a prodigy and is growing in terms of power at an incredible rate than his father was at his age. Naruto’s son Boruto has already awakened the Jōgan, which is considered a special Dojutsu of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Boruto is already polishing his Taijutsu, fūinjutsu, Cooperation Ninjutsu, and Kenjutsu skills. He is said to have inherited the immensely powerful life force and chakra, which is helpful during nature transformations. His Kāma seal gave him remarkable powers and boosted his own chakra at the cost of his own life. Boruto is progressing to become one of the strongest Uzumaki clan members, and fans can’t wait to see if he will surpass his dad.
5. Ashina

- Nature type: N/A
- Ninja Rank: N/A (Leader of the Uzumaki Clan)
After the Konoha village was founded, Ashina Uzumaki was seen as the leader of the Uzumaki clan at that time. Being the leader, Ashina is a testament to his powers. He was considered the progenitor of the fūinjutsu (sealing jutsu) and had mastered it completely. Furthermore, he was seen carrying two swords on his back, so he was likely a skilled kenjutsu user as well. As part of the Uzumaki clan, his extraordinary life force allowed him to live a long life and serve as an active shinobi in his old age.
6. Kushina
![Kushina - Best Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kushina.jpg?w=640)

Kushina Uzumaki is the mother of our beloved protagonist Naruto and the wife of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. She hailed from the prominent Uzumaki clan in the Naruto anime series and was the second jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails after Mito Uzumaki. Kushina has been an amazing character right from the start. Her powerful skills earned her a high-ranking kunoichi status and were appreciated by the legendary Sannin Jiraiya too.
As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina remarkably possessed enormous amounts of chakra and life force. This enabled her to have great vitality and enormous stamina, which we saw in action when she got the better of the nine-tails. Kushina was also incredibly skilled at sealing jutsu. She shared her fūinjutsu knowledge with Minato too. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t get to see her full potential in the anime series.
7. Karin
![10 Strongest Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto (Ranked)](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/karin.jpg?w=640)

Fans remember Karin as the redhead who stuck with Orochimaru and later with Sasuke Uchiha. She was also a member of the Uzumaki clan in the Naruto anime series, but with a dark past. Due to the circumstances in her early life, she decided to join Orochimaru and aid him with his experimentations. Karin became a Warden for one of his hideouts. After some time when she encountered Sasuke, who she fell in love with, and decided to join his team.
Like all the other Uzumaki members, she is also one of the strongest when it comes to life force and chakra. She also possessed a unique ability known as the Mind’s Eye of the Kagura, allowing her to sense the chakra of people surrounding her. Karin can do it without the need for chakra and can even conceal her own chakra to hide. She can also heal by biting herself and heal allies by allowing them to bite her. She also used sealing jutsu in the Fourth Great Ninja War, destroying Tobi’s giant wooden statue with the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
8. Mito
![10 Strongest Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto (Ranked)](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Mito_and_Kyubi.jpg?w=640)
- Debut: Shippuden Episode 247, Manga Chapter 500
- Kekkei Genkai: None
- Nature type: N/A
- Ninja Rank: N/A
Mito Uzumaki was a member of the Uzumaki clan long before the members moved to the Hidden Leaf village, where Naruto resided in the anime. After she migrated, she married the First Hokage and one of the greatest shinobi in history, Hashirama Senju. Later to support her husband, she became the very first jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. The details of her powers and abilities are unknown.
But Naruto’s mother, Kushina Uzumaki lauded Mito as a strong kunoichi. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she possessed high life force and chakra, which was further increased when she became a jinchūriki. She was very skilled in sealing jutsu too. Mito Uzumaki also had the Strength of a Hundred Seal mark on her forehead like her granddaughter, Tsunade. Undoubtedly, Mito must have been one of the strongest members of the Uzumaki clan during her time.
9. Himawari
![Himawari - Best Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Himawari.jpg?w=640)

- Ninja Rank: Ninja Academy Student (Currently)
Himawari Uzumaki is the daughter of Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki in the anime series. She is the younger sister of Boruto and is currently a student at Konoha’s ninja academy. Like her brother, Himawari is considered a young prodigy as she hails from the legendary Hyuga and Uzumaki clans.
She unlocked the special Byakugan without any prior training and is starting to grow her Ninjutsu skills, starting with shuriken jutsu. As a descendant of the finest clans, she possesses a great life force and chakra. She is sharpening her Taijutsu and Gentle Fist skills already and seems overpowered considering her age.
Himawari was able to land a gut-wrenching punch to her dad (although it was more of a comedic scene). She too has all the potential to become one of the great shinobis, alongside her brother, and one of the strongest in Naruto’s Uzumaki clan.
10. Fusō
![10 Strongest Uzumaki Clan Members in Naruto (Ranked)](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/fuso.jpg?w=640)

For those who don’t remember this character, Fusō was the mother of Nagato (aka Pain). She used to be a Nurse in the Amegakure village. She and her husband helped the people of Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War. Almost no information regarding her skills is known, though.
But the event of her trying to save her son when two shinobis forced their way into their home led to the awakening of her Rinnegan. She gave birth to Nagato, who is one of the greatest characters as well as one of the strongest Uzumaki clan members, in the history of the Naruto series.

And that concludes our list of the strongest Uzumaki clan members we have seen in the Naruto anime series. There aren’t many members of the Uzumaki clan known to us in the series, but we have ranked the existing characters and explored what makes them so powerful. As you might have expected, Naruto Uzumaki stands tall as the most powerful member of his clan, but who knows, his lovely children Boruto and Himawari might surpass him one day. With that said, share your favorite Uzumaki clan member with us in the comments below.
Technically if you look at the Uzumaki clan, it produced the greatest shinobi ever, Naruto. But if we start comparing clans in the anime, the Uchiha clan is way stronger than the Uzumaki clan as it produced a large number of the finest warriors in history. Still, Uzumaki is also one of the strongest clans in history too.
The strongest jutsu of the Uzumaki clan is their Fūinjutsu which is also known as sealing jutsu. They were considered great and feared at the same time for their special jutsu skills.
Naruto Uzumaki is a very powerful member that the Uzumaki clan has produced to this day. But this record can be beaten, if Naruto’s son Boruto takes up the mantle and becomes the greatest shinobi in history like his dad.
But my favourite is Minato Uzumaki
He’s not a uzamaki,he’s Minato namikaze
Naruto uzumaki all time favorite 🍂💖
Actually Mito and Kushino goes higher in the rank and we should not forget that Hinata can only takes 3rd position only if she’s working with Naruto.
