Naruto has much room to grow in Boruto, even without Kurama.

Over the years, fans have seen quite a few users of the Rinnegan in the Naruto series, and all of them have had incredible abilities granted to them thanks to this eye. In a plethora of amazing Rinnegan abilities, only a few can stand out on top as the very best.

7 Summonings

The Power To Bring Forth Mighty Beasts

Rinnegan Path: Animal Path

The Rinnegan allows the user to summon various animals. These summonings are different from the usual summons that the fans have seen in the series. For instance, when Nagato showcased his usage of the Rinnegan, his summons caused quite a lot of issues for Jiraiya in battle.

These summons have the Rinnegan markings in their eyes, and essentially, they cannot die. The more they are hit, the more they start to mutate and return, and at the same time, they all share connected vision with the user. This is what makes them truly dangerous. Itachi Uchiha countered them efficiently, however, for average ninjas, beating these summonings is an impossible task, and just these summons can be enough to defeat a powerful ninja.

6 Chakra Absorption

The Power To Drain A Person Of Their Power

Pain Invading The Hidden Leaf Village In Naruto

Rinnegan Path: Preta Path

The Rinnegan grants many abilities to the user, and one amazing power is to absorb chakra. Essentially, the user can absorb chakra, or any other form of ninjutsu as well. Any ninjutsu, which is essentially powered up by chakra, can be absorbed by the Rinnegan easily.

Furthermore, any individual that comes in contact with the user of the Rinnegan can have their chakra directly absorbed from their bodies as well. Fans have seen many usages of this technique, and it was employed by Pain during his fight against Naruto, and also by Sasuke during his fight against the yellow-haired Uzumaki. It is truly a frightening ability, especially when mastered.

5 Momoshiki’s Ability

The Power To Absorb, Strengthen, And Expel Chakra

Momoshiki Otsutsuki’s special power was quite similar to the regular chakra absorption. However, his ability added a unique twist to it. Through the Rinnegan on his palm, Momoshiki could absorb any form of ninjutsu. However, in his case, any chakra that he absorbed could be thrown back at the user, by amplifying it many times.

These Naruto characters were born with immense talent and had an easier time reaching new heights of power.

Essentially, whatever he absorbed, he could throw back much stronger. This is a dangerous ability, however, calling it the strongest Rinnegan ability wouldn’t be accurate.

The Power To Kill Anyone Instantly

Rinnegan Path: Human Path

Soul extraction is one of the deadliest powers of the Rinnegan that is actually very underutilized in the series. The user of the Rinnegan has access to many powerful paths and one of these paths allows the user to directly extract the soul from their bodies.

Nagato, for example, could even rip the souls of Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee out at the same time. Had it not been for Itachi, he could have killed two Perfect Jinchuriki at the same time, which is truly a frightening ability.

3 Amenotejikara

The Power To Swap Places With Anything In Close Proximity

Amenotejikara is a very dangerous ability that is unique to the Rinnegan of Sasuke Uchiha. This is a space-time ninjutsu that allows Sasuke to teleport and swap places with anything within a certain radius in the blink of an eye. This teleportation is instantaneous, and even users with the most refined of sensory abilities cannot stop attacks that are incorporated with the usage of this technique. IT can also work on other people or objects.

Essentially, Sasuke can either swap himself with another object or person, or he can swap two other objects or people with each other. This disorients the target and causes great confusion, especially in a tag team battle.

2 Limbo

The Power To Summon Clones From A Different Plane

Limbo is a very powerful Jutsu that fans have seen quite a bit in the 4th Great Ninja War. This is the technique that was unique to the Rinnegan of Madara Uchiha, and it was utilized by him extensively in the war. Essentially, with Limbo, Madara was able to summon four clones of himself from another realm of existence which could not be seen or sensed by anyone, unless they had access to Six Paths Powers.

These clones were almost as strong as Madara himself and could even take down entire Tailed Beasts in battle. They gave even the likes of Naruto and Sasuke a very hard time.

1 Rinne Tensei

The Power To Rule Over Life And Death

Rinnegan Path: Outer Path

By far, the strongest Rinnegan ability that the fans have seen in Naruto is Rinne Tensei. This is a very overpowered ability that essentially allows the user to bring anyone back from the dead. When this ability is cast, the person who is utilizing this technique tends to lose their life.

However, in certain cases, this can be avoided. For instance, when Nagato used it, he was able to bring multiple people back to life instead of just one, and even then, Konan implied that Nagato could have survived, had his chakra not been as low as it was. Regardless, this is one of the strongest techniques to have existed in the Naruto world.
