Best Naruto techniques

26 ELO points separate Shadow Clone Jutsu from Nine-Tails Chakra Mode at the top of the Naruto technique ranking, after 17438 duels.

The gap at the summit is the sharpest in the ranking. Shadow Clone Jutsu holds the lead with 1413 ELO points, while Nine-Tails Chakra Mode trails at 1387. Just behind, Wind Style: Spiraling Sphere claims third place at 1369, edging out Summoning Jutsu by 2 points. Summoning Jutsu, ranked fourth, wins 97% of its duels across 13616 matchups, an anomaly suggesting either late arrival in the vote or extraordinary polarization. Susanoo rounds out the top 5 with 1366 points. At the bottom, Human Boulder sits last with 958 ELO and a 35% win rate, flanked by Partial Expansion at 974 points. The lower ranks reveal techniques that struggle to win over the community, their names less iconic than the dominant jutsu above.

Updated on 10 October 2026, the vote captures the community's preferences across a wide spectrum of techniques, from the foundational Shadow Clone Jutsu to obscure moves like Earth Style: Mud Flow at rank 62.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
