When it comes to the world of ninjas, Taijutsu is an art that not many focus on. After all, the ninjas in theNarutoworld usually fight with their own powerful ninjutsu or, in some cases, Genjutsu.
Very few excel in the art of Taijutsu, but two characters who’ve surpassed all limits when it comes to this art are Might Guy and Rock Lee. That said, neither of the two is the actual best when it comes to Taijutsu,and Kishimoto has already revealed thatin his story long ago.
Might Guy Was The Strongest Taijutsu User Up Until The Ninja War
When it comes to Taijutsu, hardly anyone in the world orNarutoholds a candle to Might Guy. After all, Guy is known to have limited skill for anything other than Taijutsu. Yet, he can keep up with the strongest of Jonin and even Kage-level fighters. In fact, at his very peak, when using the Eight Inner Gates, Guy surpasses the Five Kage with the Gate of Death. This power, seen only in the Fourth Great Ninja War, proved to be so immense that even Madara Uchiha praised it. According to Madara, Guy was, by far, the strongest that he’d fought up until that point in his life, which meant that 8 Gates Guy was so strong that even Hashirama Senju was left in the dust.
Lee Reached Similar Heights To Might Guy
Along with Guy,Rock Lee also went on to reach very high heightswhen it comes to Taijutsu. According to the Boruto series, Lee has actually mastered all eight gates by adulthood, and he is also a strong Taijutsu user who has, at the very least, matched Might Guy, if not surpassed him. While both Lee and Guy are incredibly powerful, neither of them is actually the strongest Taijutsu user.
Naruto Is The Best Taijutsu User
Naruto Uzumaki Surpasses Might Guy At Taijutsu
The man with the best Taijutsu in theNarutoseries isnone other than Naruto Uzumaki himself. Whereas Might Guy needed help to break past Madara’s guard, Naruto actually did it all by himself. He is faster, has better reaction speed, and even hits harder. Naruto can overwhelm a stronger Madara with pure Taijutsu.
What’s more, Naruto even matched Kaguya’s 80 Gods Vacuum Fist, the peak of Taijutsu, all by himself. He can power up his Taijutsu using Six Paths Chakra and muster enough strength to overwhelm even Kaguya.
Above all, Naruto could even hold his own in Taijutsu against Momoshiki Otsutsuki, even after his fusion with Kinshiki. To top it all off, with Baryon Mode, Naruto’s Taijutsu reaches a level where he becomes untouchable and even Gods can’t touch him. At his very peak, Naruto’s Taijutsu is the best, and this goes without saying. That’s not to say that Guy and Lee aren’t impressive.They just aren’t as strong as Naruto, who often doesn’t get credit for his immense skill at Taijutsu.
