Naruto's Fourth Great Ninja War arc is its biggest and most important arc as it sees most of the overarching plotlines come to a conclusion. Being a massive battle involving strong shinobi from every nation, the Fourth Great Ninja War is incredibly rich when it comes to fights.
The war spans over almost half of the second part of Naruto, meaning Kishimoto had plenty of time to illustrate some of the clashes that fans still consider to be nothing short of incredible.
10 Naruto And Sasuke Vs Madara Uchiha
Naruto and Sasuke eventually got to clash with Madara Uchiha towards the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War. While the fight itself included some of the most powerful characters, it certainly failed to live up to the standard of being the best fight in the story, which fans were fully expecting it to be.
While the beginning of the fight was great and saw Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha push Madara on the back foot, the fight eventually ended when Black Zetsu stabbed Madara to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.
9 Itachi And Sasuke Vs Kabuto
Itachi returned in the Fourth Great Ninja War when Kabuto Yakushi decided to reanimate him, which turned out to be one of his biggest mistakes. Using Kotoamatsukami, Itachi was able to break free of his control completely.
This was followed by an intense fight between the two which Sasuke also joined. Thanks to the combined effort of the Uchiha brothers, Kabuto was finally defeated and the world was free of the Edo Tensei jutsu.
8 Naruto Vs The Third Raikage
After gaining control over the powers of the Nine-Tails, Naruto Uzumaki powered up to great heights. Just his Shadow Clone was strong enough to take on the likes of the Third Raikage in battle, which was nothing short of immense.
Although his tough defense wasn't pierced by even some of the strongest techniques, Naruto eventually resorted to using Sage Mode and turning the Raikage's own power against him to defeat him, which was quite clever.
7 Shinobi Alliance Vs Ten-Tails
The Shinobi Alliance eventually took on the Ten-Tails in the climax of the Fourth Great Ninja War and it's safe to say the clash that everybody was waiting for lived up to the expectations.
This fight was a team effort and saw every shinobi, big and small, come into action to deploy some of the best strategies seen in the story. More importantly, the four Hokage also joined the battle shortly after and titled the odds in the favor of the alliance.
6 Obito Uchiha Vs Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, And Tobirama
Obito Uchiha managed to become the first Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails during the Fourth Great Ninja War and created lots of problems for the Shinobi Alliance. While he wasn't the main antagonist by any means, Obito was still quite strong and needed the combined effort of Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, and Tobirama Senju to battle.
After gaining more control over his powers, Obito eventually overpowered them, only to lose a battle of mental fortitude to Naruto Uzumaki.
5 Madara Vs Shinobi Alliance
Madara Uchiha's return was marked by possibly one of the greatest beatdowns in anime as he took on the Shinobi Alliance to show everyone a glimpse of his true power. With the power of the Sharingan and his elite Taijutsu abilities, Madara wiped out an entire battalion of shinobi effortlessly.
To make things worse he dropped two meteorites on top of them to finish the job. Thankfully, Onoki and Gaara were able to save many from death, yet Madara's crushing power was apparent nonetheless.
4 Five Kage Vs Madara Uchiha
The Five Kage took on Madara Uchiha immediately after his arrival on the battlefield and this certainly proved to be an immense clash.
While at first, the fight seemed to be more even, as the battle raged, Madara started to show his superiority. By the end of the fight, Madara was able to completely defeat them without even going all out. This proved to be yet another demonstration of how strong the Uchiha legend truly was.
3 Might Guy Vs Madara Uchiha
Might Guy got his moment to shine towards the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War when he took on Madara in combat. Having become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara was close to the prime of his powers so it was quite difficult for anyone to face him.
Guy resorted to using the Eight Inner Gates to match him and he did so in quite some fashion. With tremendous taijutsu ability and speed that blitzed even the strongest, Guy landed blow after blow on him and nearly killed him before his fire went out.
2 Kakashi Vs Obito
Kakashi's fight against Obito Uchiha was, quite easily, one of the greatest fights in the entirety of Naruto. The two friends clashed in the Fourth Great Ninja War and delivered some amazingly choreographed action.
While Kakashi eventually started to overpower Obito, the latter was actually making use of him in order to get rid of the seal planted on him. Immediately after the fight, Obito went on to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
1 Naruto Vs Sasuke
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha clashed for the last time at the Final Valley at the very end of the Fourth Great Ninja War. The two were always destined to fight a battle of life and death and this clash lived up to the expectations in both the manga and the anime.
Naruto versus Sasuke was a battle that went back and forth and had the fans at the edge of their seats throughout it. While the choreography was incredible, the emotionally charged moments sprinkled throughout the fight made it all the better. Without a doubt, it remains to be the very best fight in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
