Kenjaku: 7 Naruto characters who can one-shot Kenjaku from Jujutsu Kaisen

Naruto characters are among animanga's most popular. Masashi Kishimoto's magnum opus grew to become one of the greatest ever and send ripples throughout the anime and manga world even today. Moreover, each of its characters was uniquely designed and crafted to give fans an unforgettable roster.

Alongside, Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be following suit, on the road to becoming one of modern day's best series. Similar to Naruto, it too has an exciting roster of characters, with the villains being the ones to be enjoy immense popularity.

Speaking of villains, there might be a few who can stand beside the detestable Kenjaku. His misdeeds are as villainous as his personality, yet he is likely one of animanga's best-written villains. Kenjaku proved to be a thorn in the side of Jujutsu High, but what if he was in the Narutoverse?

Naruto characters who could one-shot Jujutsu Kaisen's Kenjaku

1) Kaguya Otsutsuki

One of the Naruto characters who could potentially one-shot Kenjaku would be the originator of Chakra on earth, Kaguya Otsutsuki. Otsutsuki clansman and matriarch of a branch family of her clan, Kaguya, was the Shinobi Allinace's final opponent, after Madara and Obito.

As revealed in the series, she was beyond powerful even before consuming the chakra fruit, leaving fellow clansman Isshiki near death. After consuming the fruit, her powers skyrocketed further, giving her nearly every possible ability seen in the series.

Kenjaku might be strong and crafty, but against a force like this, there is little he might be able to do.

2) Naruto Uzumaki (Six Paths)

This list would be incomplete without mentioning the series protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. He undoubtedly stands among the Naruto characters who could easily down Kenjaku. His story, from nameless and shunned Genin to Leaf Village Hokage, is one that is truly worth watching and experiencing.

He developed and grew stronger with each battle, supplementing it with intense training and an indomitable will. In the end, he stood as the strongest Shinobi in all of the land, possessing the power of all Tailed-Beasts, all five nature transformations with Yin-Yang Release, Six Path Senjutsu, and much more.

Again, as well-equipped as Kenjaku might be, he has minimal chances of winning in a bout like this.

3) Sasuke Uchiha (Six Paths)

Another one of the Naruto characters capable of besting Kenjaku would be series deuteragonist Sasuke Uchiha. Dubbed a prodigy, he was obsessed with a single aim: killing his brother Itachi. However, once the brothers fought, Sasuke learned the truth and had an immense change of heart.

Like Naruto, he too was bestowed with the Six Paths' power. Again, like the blonde ninja, he too gained an explosive power-up. He possesses all five nature transformations with Yin Release, Dojutsu (Rinnegan, Mangekyou Sharingan), compatability with the Cursed Seal of Heaven, and more.

When pitted against each other, Kenjaku might find himself backed against a wall quite early on in the battle, with little response.

4) Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha, alongside Kaguya and others, are those Naruto characters who made late but impactful entries. Before that, Madara was spoken of as the only one capable of rivaling Hashirama Senju. As the story progressed, he was later glimpsed, and his legendary battle with Hashirama was showcased.

Again, when he was reanimated by Kabuto and fought the Shinobi Alliance, his fearsome abilities were on display. He even managed to ascend into his Six Paths, which was quite troublesome for his opponents. Had Kaguya and Zetsu not intervened, Madara would have nearly gained control of the entire shinobi world.

Looking back, even before his Six Paths transformation, Madara would prove to be a tough foe for Kenjaku. Rinnegan or not, he had too many tricks up his sleeve to be beaten easily.

5) Hashirama Senju

Another one of the Naruto characters who made a late appearance was Hashirama Senju. He was the founder and first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. His prowess as a ninja earned him the title of "The God of Shinobi." He was Madara's direct rival, despite the two starting out as very close friends.

While excitable and somewhat boisterous, he knew when to get down to business. True to his title, he possessed unmatched Chakra and Physical Prowess, a variety of Ninjutsu, proficient in all five basic nature transformations, and unrivaled Senjutsu (due to his massive chakra).

Needless to say, Kenjaku's hands would be tied if he had to face the God of Shinobi. After all, such a title bestowed upon him speaks volumes of his capability.

6) Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha is much-loved among the roster of Naruto characters. Initially despised as a villain, his true story brought nearly every fan to tears. One could never have imagined that a kind and loving soul like Itachi would be compelled to do what he did.

Nonetheless, even with his illness and turning partially blind (due to his use of the Mangekyou Sharingan), he put up a great fight against Sasuke. Moreover, it has been strongly argued that despite these conditions, Itachi held back as he fought Sasuke and, in a way, allowed his brother to win.

This leads to the burning question: how strong would a fully fit Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan Itachi be? Maybe we'll never know this answer, but we can say that Itachi vs. Kenjaku would be interesting to watch, like Kenjaku's battle with other Naruto characters. However, in this case, the former would clearly win.

7) Pain

Pain, or Nagato, was another fan favorite among the wide roster of Naruto characters. Since his introduction, his leadership of the Akatsuki and his battle with Naruto have all been very well received by fans of the series.

Moreover, Nagato's Six Paths of Pain were a massive hit. Each path stood for something unique, looked distinct, and possessed intriguing abilities. Besides the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato possessed the Rinnegan, control over the five basic nature transformations, and massive Chakra reserves.

Among the list of Naruto characters, an opponent like Nagato would be tough to face given the Six Paths of Pain and figuring out they actually worked. Even Kenjaku would more than break a sweat against him.
