The main character of the series, Naruto Uzumaki, wants to change the world and ensure that peace and tranquility prevail. However, Naruto’s path is filled with numerous villains, who try to stop him from achieving his dream. While most of the villains inNarutoare powerful enough to destroy entire armies, there are a few who can’t hold their ground in a 1v1 fight.
8Mizuki
From a young age, Mizuki harbored ill intentions toward Iruka, and after nearly being overlooked for the position of an Academy Instructor, Mizuki lost his mind completely and started working under Orochimaru.
Mizuki planned to use Naruto to steal the Forbidden Scroll, and he would have succeeded if it weren’t for Iruka. When Mizuki tried to fight Naruto, the young ninja managed to embarrass him rather easily.
7Zabuza
Zabuza Momochi was one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. He was an outstanding swordsman, who wielded the Kubikiribocho, a renowned sword. When he was still a child, Zabuza slaughtered over a hundred students in the final exam. This led to his moniker, “Demon of the Hidden Mist.”

As a ninja from the Hidden Mist, Zabuza was proficient at using Water Release techniques, which allowed him to get the better of his opponents. Despite his skill, Zabuza could not compete against the likes of Kakashi. In comparison to the other villains that appear in the series, Zabuza is definitely much weaker.
6Hidan
Hidan was amember of the Akatsuki, and Kakuzu’s teammate. He was a follower of Jashin, and he would always look for ways to torture his victims in order to appease his god. Hidan was blessed with immortality, which impossible to kill him. His immortality gave him a false sense of security, and he would often rush into fights without thinking.
This would cause problems for him and leave him at the mercy of his opponents. In his fight against Asuma, Hidan’s head was chopped off by the ninja from the Hidden Leaf. Needless to say, without Kakuzu’s help, he would have been subdued and taken prisoner.
5Danzo
Danzo was the leader of Root, a secretive organization that operated in the shadows. His main goal was to ensure that nothing would jeopardize the safety of the Hidden Leaf. Danzo was willing to go to any lengths to quell any kind of threat, as seen when he forcedItachi to kill his entire clan, including his parents.

After the massacre, he stole the Sharingan from the dead bodies of the Uchiha and had Orochimaru implant it on his right arm. Danzo knew about Izanagi, and he used it multiple times in his fight against Sasuke. Even with such a massive advantage, Danzo still couldn’t get the better of the Uchiha, which shows that he is one of the weakest villains in the series.
4Black Zetsu
Black Zetsu is arguably the most evil character in the series. It was created by Kaguya’s strong will after she was sealed away by her two sons.Black Zetsu’s goal was to manipulatesomeone into helping it to free Kaguya.
As Black Zetsu did not have the necessary power, it tricked the likes of Indra Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha. It found success when Madara became the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and unleashed the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Once the entire world was placed under the genjutsu, Black Zetsu attacked Madara and freed Kaguya.
3Haku
Zabuza took in Haku when the latter was at his lowest. Haku was moved by Zabuza’s actions, and he vowed to protect him at all costs. Haku possessed the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, which is a strong ability. In addition to his special ability, Haku had impressive strength and speed.
Haku used his Ice Release techniquesagainst Naruto and Sasuke, and he had the upper hand for the majority of the fight. However, once Naruto tapped into the power of the Nine-Tails, he managed to destroy Haku’s mirrors, nearly killing him in the process. Considering Haku was supplanted by two teenagers, who were on their first mission, he is definitely a weak villain.
2Sound Four
The Sound Four were a quartet of ninjas from Otogakure, who served as Orochimaru’s personal bodyguards. They were very talented ninjas, who were capable of defeating weak Jonin. Each member of the Sound Four had unique jutsu and other abilities that made them dangerous opponents.
While facing the Konoha 11, the Sound Four should have defeated them comfortably, but they lost due to their brashness. As the guardians of Orochimaru, they firmly believed that they could not be defeated by the likes of Shikamaru and co. This decision came back to bite them as they were picked apart by the young Hidden Leaf ninjas, and eventually killed.
1Orochimaru
Orochimaru is one of the two surviving members of the Legendary Sannin that helped the Hidden Leaf to secure victory in the Second Great Ninja War. In his prime, Orochimaru was unquestionably one of the strongest ninjas in the world, but a lot changed after he left the Hidden Leaf. He became very weak physically, and he had to switch bodies to stay in fighting condition.
Orochimaru’s plot todestroy the Hidden Leaf cost himdearly as he ended up losing both his arms, and he never recovered from this massive setback. InNaruto Shippuden, he was killed by Sasuke, which tainted his name even further. Orochimaru’s chance at redemption came in the Fourth Great Ninja War, but once again he was outclassed by the characters around him.
