InNaruto , though , it ’s a reasonable disputation to bring up whether Madara or Kaguya is stronger and whether there ’s a greater point to this comparison .

Madara Uchiha is introduced as a crucial character inNaruto ’s lore , co - found his home hamlet of Konohagakure , while Kaguya Otsutsuki has more arcane origins .

The Two Villains Have Wildly Different Limits and Purposes

Kaguya Otsutsuki is overpoweringly stronger than Madara Uchihaand any other character at the item of her launching inNaruto , a sufficient final villain the heroes front before the saga ’s finis . She is the first of the Otsutsuki tribe to land on Earth , the mother of Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki , effectively making her the progenitor of the entire ninja world . Madara may be the most powerful human nemesis Naruto and his team have faced before this point . Kaguya ’s origins are more like an exotic deity by comparison , capable to fight Naruto and Sasuke in their respective Six Paths transformations .

Kaguya ’s powers are legion , which , thanks to eating the fruit of the Divine Tree , earmark her to handle chakra and cast jutsu without using hand mark , go through time and blank , own the Byakugan eyes , and a third centre with the Rinne Sharingan trait . She wields various chakra - ground non - ninjutsu plan of attack and can use genjutsu , Yin - Yang Release , and all five elemental natures .

Madara ’s feats admit stand firm Might Guy ’s Eight Gates ultimate move , " Night Guy " and being tight enough to forestall distance - time ninjutsu . He also single - handedly beats all five Kage and the Tailed Beasts .
