Taijutsu is one of the most prominent fighting styles in the world of Naruto. Just like with Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, there are certain shinobi who excel in its usage and have mastered it to the point where it's their go-to technique in battle.
Over the years, quite a lot of Taijutsu users have shown up in Naruto, with some being users of the Eight Gates technique and others relying on the powers of the Six Paths. Here are the 10 strongest Taijutsu users in the world of Naruto, ranked by how good they are.
10 Sakura Haruno
Sakura Haruno is the apprentice of Tsunade Senju and a capable medical ninja. Along with excelling in medical ninjutsu, Sakura is also a tremendous fighter, and this ability was drilled into her by Tsunade as well.
By the end of the Naruto series, Sakura's Taijutsu skills are at an incredibly high-level and she's capable of defeating most enemies with just a single blow. Coupled with her Byakugou, she's extremely difficult to beat in combat.
9 Neji Hyuga
A user of the Gentle Fist technique, Neji was a prodigy of the Hyuga clan and a fine user of the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai. Even as a child, Neji was powerful enough to defeat an adult with ease.
As a Jonin, Neji's skill with the Gentle Fist technique was so immense that he was able to deflect lots of 10-Tails attacks without much trouble. With the ability to stop the flow of someone's chakra and deal internal damage, Neji's Taijutsu skills were lethal.
8 Rock Lee
Lee is a user of Hard Fist, the complete opposite of Neji Hyuga. In combat, he relies on speed and power to overwhelm his opponents. His usage of Taijutsu is incredibly advanced since he doesn't know how to use either Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
With the power of the Eight Inner Gates, Lee grows stronger than your average Kage in combat. His real strength as an adult remains to be seen.
7 Hashirama Senju
Hashirama Senju was the First Hokage of Konohagakure and a powerful user of all the shinobi arts, which included Taijutsu as well. Like Sakura and Tsunade, he could use his chakra to enhance his strength.
According to Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju was nigh unstoppable in combat, as seen when the two fought during their clash in the Valley of the End. With Sage Mode, Hashirama's Taijutsu grew even more ferocious.
6 Madara Uchiha
Like his eternal rival, Hashirama Senju, Madara was skilled in all the areas of jutsu, including Taijutsu. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, he showed what he was capable of when he took on the entire Shinobi Alliance by himself and nearly killed them all.
Madara, as the Jinchūriki of the Ten-tails, grew even stronger and his Taijutsu was on a different level compared to most characters in the Naruto world.
5 Might Guy
Might Guy was a Taijutsu expert who had mastered the power of the Eight Inner Gates technique. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Guy provided a glimpse of what he could do when he fought Madara Uchiha and completely overwhelmed him in terms of Taijutsu.
Thanks to help from his fellow shinobi, Guy nearly succeeded in killing Madara, however, his strength fell short and he lost the fight.
4 Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha is an incredibly powerful character and quite possibly the strongest known Uchiha in the story to ever exist. Unlike most characters, Sasuke excels in ninjutsu, as well as Genjutsu and Taijutsu.
In fact, his skill with Taijutsu is extremely underrated. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Sasuke was able to keep up with Madara Uchiha and later, Naruto Uzumaki in combat. As an adult, he could even fight Momoshiki Otsutsuki which just shows the level of his Taijutsu mastery.
3 Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki is the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure and the strongest shinobi alive right now. As the Hokage, it is expected of Naruto to be incredibly powerful and he surely doesn't disappoint.
Naruto is well-versed in Taijutsu and thanks to all the powers that he's attained over the years, he's grown nearly invincible. He was strong enough to defeat Toneri Otsutsuki in just one punch, destroy the crust of the moon, and also match Momoshiki Otsutsuki in hand-to-hand combat, something that cements his position among the strongest Taijutsu users.
2 Momoshiki Otsutsuki
One of the mightiest Naruto characters, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was a tremendous fighter who appeared in the Chunin Exams arc of Boruto. His skill was such that he could take on both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in combat at once and still hold his own against them.
Momoshiki Otsutsuki was slightly stronger than Naruto in terms of Taijutsu, as evident from when the two fought. Furthermore, he also had the ability to use Gentle Fist and hit the tenketsu of people, making him even more dangerous in combat.
1 Kaguya Otsutsuki
While this may be surprising to some, Kaguya Otsutsuki is the strongest user of Taijutsu users in the series and it is quite clear why from her fight against Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Using her Kekkei Mōra Jutsu, Kaguya can manifest the 80 Gods Vacuum Fist, a Taijutsu technique strong enough to destroy a Six Paths Full-body Susanoo in just one blow. Along with this, she had other techniques up he sleeve, such as the Rabbit Hair Needle, strong enough to kill nearly anyone who stood in her path. Truly, Kaguya was a master of Taijutsu.
