Fellow shinobi-mates! Naruto Uzumaki has different techniques that make him the powerhouse ninja we all know and love. He has developed an absolutely outrageous arsenal of jutsu. He worked to take the basic Rasengan and altered it into increasingly powerful variations that even the Fourth Hokage couldn’t have guessed. These techniques aren’t just glitzy moves – they’re game-changers that have saved the world numerous times.

So, let’s rank Naruto’s eight strongest techniques and see what makes each one special!

8. Rasengan

The Rasengan is the base of Naruto’s fighting justu, a technique that took him months to learn. Devised by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, this technique needs drastic chakra control and attention and constructs a spiraling orb of pure chakra that can crush through almost anything it connects. Naruto has used it in countless innovative ways, from close-quarter combat to long-range attacks when fused with his Shadow Clones.

Remember that epic moment against Kabuto during the Search for Tsunade Arc? That battle showcased just how devastating a well-placed Rasengan can be, literally rupturing Kabuto’s internal organs despite his remarkable healing abilities. Even as Naruto developed more powerful techniques, the basic Rasengan remained his go-to move.

7. Rasenshuriken

Naruto first revealed the Rasenshuriken during his fight with Kakuzu which drew an extreme moment in his shinobi profession. This technique denotes the perfect fusion of form and nature transformation, something even the Fourth Hokage couldn’t attain. By infusing wind-nature chakra into the standard Rasengan and shaping it into a shuriken-like form, Naruto devised a technique that blasts at a microscopic level. 

This technique was a double-edged sword, causing agonizing pain to Naruto’s own arm upon contact. But somehow, through mastery of Sage Mode, he overcame this limitation, acquiring the ability to throw the Rasenshuriken and discharge it remotely.

The technique proved critical in numerous battles, mainly against Pain’s paths and during the Fourth Great Ninja War, where its cellular-destroying consequences made it effective even against reanimated shinobi.

6. Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan

The Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan indicates Naruto’s mastery over natural energy and defines a massive leap in his chakra control capabilities. This technique incorporates the regulations of the standard Rasengan with Sage Mode’s natural energy, constructing a massive orb of devastation that dwarfs its user. It needs the perfect balance between normal chakra and natural energy – too much of either would cause the technique to fail catastrophically. 

He first showcased this technique during his battle with Pain, using it to have devastating results against the Deva Path. The very size and power of this Rasengan variant make it ideal for dealing with multiple opponents or breaking through powerful defensive techniques. Its effect also kept a crucial crossroads in Naruto’s journey, confirming he had surpassed Jiraiya and his father in terms of Sage Mode application.

5. Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken

The Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken represents the perfect marriage between size manipulation and wind nature transformation in Naruto’s arsenal. This technique takes everything that makes the regular Rasenshuriken deadly and amplifies it to an unprecedented scale. The explosion created by this jutsu is so massive that it can be visible from multiple countries away, as demonstrated during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

When Naruto deploys this technique, it creates thousands of microscopic wind blades that can shred through almost any defense. The chakra control required for this technique is astronomical – Naruto needs to maintain both the massive size and the intricate wind-nature transformation simultaneously. This technique proved particularly effective against the Ten-Tails’ clones and even managed to damage Madara Uchiha during their confrontation.

4. Tailed Beast Rasensuriken

The Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken showcases Naruto’s complete mastery of Kurama’s chakra and his innovative approach to combining different chakra natures. This technique lets Naruto create Rasenshuriken variants infused with the extraordinary properties of each tailed beast’s chakra, such as Shukaku’s sealing abilities and Son Gokū’s Lava Release. The versatility of this technique makes it extremely deadly, as foes can’t expect which elemental property they’ll face.

In combat with Kaguya, Naruto introduced this technique’s full potential by making nine separate variants at once, each conceived to manipulate specific weaknesses. The chakra control needed for this technique is immense, necessitating perfect synchronization between Naruto’s chakra, the chakra of the tailed beasts, and the wind-nature transformation of the Rasenshuriken.

3. Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken

The Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken is the ultimate move of Naruto’s ability over Six Paths Sage Mode, converging the power granted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki with his most advanced technique.

This variant of the Rasenshuriken holds the power of multiple truth-seeking orbs, making it capable of disintegrating targets at a molecular level. When Naruto first revealed this technique during the battle against Madara, it exemplified power sufficient to counter techniques that could reshape entire landscapes. 

The most impressive aspect of this technique is its ability to bypass truth-seeking orb defenses, something previously thought impossible. The chakra control required is so precise that even a slight miscalculation could result in the technique’s failure.

2. Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken

The Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken is the absolute pinnacle of Naruto’s ninjutsu development, combining every aspect of his power into a single, world-altering technique. This ultimate version of the Rasenshuriken fuses natural energy, Six Paths power, and the chakra of all nine-tailed beasts into a single attack.

The technique’s most impressive showing came during the final battle against Sasuke, where it proved capable of matching the power of a Perfect Susanoo enhanced by all nine-tailed beasts. 

Naruto has the ability to create multiple variants simultaneously, each containing different combinations of tailed beast chakra. The chakra control required is so precise that even other Six Paths users would struggle to replicate it. This technique represents not just the peak of Naruto’s power, but the culmination of his journey from outcast to the strongest shinobi alive.

1. Baryon Mode

Baryon Mode stands as the most unique and devastating technique in Naruto’s arsenal. It represents the ultimate fusion between jinchūriki and tailed beast. Very different from other chakra modes, Baryon Mode functions more like nuclear fusion. It thus consumes both Naruto’s and Kurama’s life force to generate entirely new energy.

This technique demonstrated its overwhelming power during the fight against Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. There it proved capable of overwhelming an opponent who had previously dominated both Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously. 

The technique’s most frightening part is its ability to reduce the target’s remaining lifespan with each successful hit, driving it effective even against apparently immortal opponents. The speed and reaction time endowed by this mode surpasses anything previously seen in the series, allowing Naruto to predict and counter moves before they happen. However, its life-force-draining nature makes it truly a last-resort technique, one that ultimately led to Kurama’s sacrifice.

Conclusion

Skimming at Naruto’s eight strongest techniques, it’s wonderful to see how far our favorite shinobi has come. Each technique builds on the last, indicating how Naruto never stops pushing the limits of what’s achievable with ninjutsu. Whether he’s safeguarding the village or saving the world, these techniques have confirmed time and again why Naruto is viewed as the strongest shinobi. Believe it!
