5 Characters Who Rivaled Sage Of Six Paths

In NarutoHagoromo Otsutsuki was known as the Sage of Six Paths. He was the eldest son of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the first person to rebel against her, and after teaming up with his twin brother, he defeated Kaguya and saved the world from ruin.

Subsequently, Hagoromo began to spread the word of peace. He also became the jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, which significantly bolstered his overall strength. Given his power, it's hardly surprising that only a few Naruto characters were able to rival Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki

Reason: Has several one-shot abilities

As dedicated fans would know, it would be unthinkable not to bring up Kaguya's name, especially when talking about characters who could rival Hagoromo Otsutsuki. She was known as the Rabbit Goddess and feared throughout the world because of her ruthlessness and strength.

Kaguya was the progenitor of chakra on Earth, and unsurprisingly, her own chakra was extremely potent. She could use her massive reserves to cast jutsu that wouldn't be possible for a normal person. For instance, she was able to create a massive Truth Seeking Ball that could shatter an entire planet and turn it to dust. Furthermore, she could utilize the All Killing Ash Bones, a technique so powerful that it could beat any enemy with a single hit.

If things were going south, Kaguya could use Amenominaka to change dimensions and recover. If these powers weren't enough, Kaguya was also immune to regular ninjutsu. In fact, she was able to disintegrate Sasuke's full-body Susanoo with just her touch. At the peak of her powers, Kaguya was unstoppable, and even Hagoromo couldn't have beaten her in a one-on-one fight.

Madara Uchiha

Reason: Veteran fighters with decades of experience

Madara Uchiha was a mighty ninja whose name echoed through the ninja war even decades after his death. However, his normal version wouldn't stand a chance against the Sage of Six Paths, but the Ten-Tails jinchuriki version of Madara is a different story.

When Madara became the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, his strength multiplied several times. Not only did he gain immensely vast chakra reserves, but his physical abilities improved as well. It is worth mentioning that this version of Madara was equipped with both Rinnegan, giving him access to all six paths and the Limbo clones. It would also be remiss not to mention that Madara was called the Second Sage of Six Paths. Madara's fight with Hagoromo wouldn't be one-sided as many expected. In fact, it would be an extremely close call.

Isshiki Otsutsuki

Reason: Arguably the strongest Otsutsuki

Isshiki Otsutsuki was a major antagonist in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. A purely evil individual who took over the body of Jigen and remained in control of it until he found a suitable vessel, Isshiki was able to use his powers inside Jigen's body, but certain limitations prevented the Otsutsuki from going all out.

Thankfully, fans did get a glimpse of his powers in the manga. At full strength, Isshiki dominated both Naruto and Sasuke, which is an absolutely incredible feat, especially since both of them were at the peak of their powers. However, the Otsutsuki would never have been so rampant without his dojutsu. Isshiki's Kokugan granted him access to Sukonahikona and Daikokuten. With Sukonahikona, Isshiki can shrink any inanimate object and himself instantly, enabling him to avoid incoming attacks and reduce their overall impact. Meanwhile, Daikokuten allowed him to store any shrunken object inside a dimension where time is still. Given Isshiki's arsenal, it's not surprising if he pushed Hagoromo beyond his limits.

Naruto Uzumaki

Reason: Can kill anyone with the Baryon Mode

Naruto Uzumaki is the main hero of the story, and he has always been loved by fans because of his kind and compassionate nature. Another reason why fans love Naruto is because of his powers. After all, he has the Six Paths Sage Mode, which drastically enhances his chakra, damage output, regeneration, and speed.

While it may be enough to fight most threats in the series, this version of Naruto would not be able to rival the Sage of Six Paths. The only way the hero stood a chance of beating Hagoromo is if he unleashed the Baryon Mode. In this mode, any of Naruto's attacks can reduce the enemy's lifespan. Even if they are blocked, the opponent will lose their lifespan, provided they use their own body to do so. The biggest drawback of the Baryon Mode is that it comes at the cost of Kurama's life.

Hamura Otsutsuki

Reason: Ancestor of the Hyuuga Clan

Hamura Otsutsuki was the younger twin brother of Hagoromo. He was the only person to support his brother in the rebellion against their mother. Hamura stuck with him through all the months of fighting, until the two had finally sealed away their mother for good. Unlike Hagoromo, Hamura decided to leave Earth and watch over Kaguya.

With time, he became the leader of the people who lived on the moon. They respected Hamura because he was an exceptionally strong individual. Hamura possessed the Tenseigan, a Dojutsu comparable to the mighty Rinnegan. He could use the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, in which he also obtained the Truth-Seeking Balls. Given their respective strengths, the fight between Hagoromo and Hamura would be rather epic.
