10Tsunade Senju
Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha and she was quite a powerful ninja in her prime. Although a healer, Tsunade is also good at close-range combat, which makes her exceptionally difficult to defeat.
She possesses Forbidden Jutsu, utilized via her Byakugou, that lets her heal from any damage thrown at her automatically. It also gives her a tremendous amount of chakra and allows her to survive things such as bisection.

9Sakura Haruno
Just like Tsunade, Sakura is also a user of Forbidden Jutsu. She can also utilize the Byakugou seal and use mitotic regeneration, as well as the Strength of a 100 Seals. Sakura is incredibly difficult to fight when she takes on this form.
This is a forbidden Jutsu, however, only a medical ninja who has reached the absolute pinnacle of strength can utilize it freely.

8Tobirama Senju
The Second Hokage of Konoha, Tobirama was a master of many techniques. Fans know that he invented a lot of powerful jutsu over his career and quite a lot of them were forbidden as well.
The most notable Forbidden Jutsu that he could use was Edo Tensei, as well as the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags. He utilized the latter in the Fourth Great Ninja War while the former became a very problematic jutsu in the ninja world.

7Orochimaru
Orochimaru was a man of many skills and he had a vast arsenal of techniques to utilize in combat. Orochimaru was also a user of Forbidden Jutsu and one of the very best techniques that he could utilize was Edo Tensei.
Using this technique, he could summon the dead and make them fight on his behalf. This was a purely evil technique that was forbidden for all the right reasons. He caused quite a lot of devastation with this power.

6Kabuto Yakushi
Whereas Orochimaru improved upon the Edo Tensei, Kabuto took it one step further during the 4th Great Ninja War. This made Kabuto a user of Forbidden Jutsu as well, and quite a powerful one at that.
Kabuto is easily one of the strongest ninjas in the Naruto world and his usage of forbidden techniques makes him a powerful villain as well. It took the collaborative effort of Itachi and Sasuke to finally defeat him.

5Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha knew many powerful Jutsu and these also includedthe secret techniques of the Uchiha Clanwhich are believed to be forbidden – Izanagi as well as Izanami.
In the fight against Kabuto, Itachi utilized the power of Izanami very well. He was able to defeat him using this Forbidden Jutsu, making him one of the strongest Forbidden Jutsu users inNaruto.

4Minato Namikaze
The Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minatowas also a user of quite a lot of powerful techniques. Throughout his life, he also invented quite a lot of techniques, however, there are only a few he knew that were Forbidden.
One of these techniques was used by him to end his own life and to seal half of Kurama within his son, Naruto. This technique was the Reaper Death Seal and it is certainly one of the strongest forbidden techniques as well as sealing jutsu inNaruto.

3Might Guy
A master of taijutsu, Might Guy had perfected the art of the Eight Inner Gates. He used this power against Madara and fans know from the very beginning that this is classified as a forbidden technique because it harms the body of the user.
Might Guy was the very best user of it and Naruto and he was able to absolutely dismantle Madara even in his 10 Tails state using this power.

2Madara Uchiha
One of the strongest shinobi to have ever lived, Madarawas an extremely competent ninja and it is no surprise for the fans to know that he was a user of quite a lot of forbidden techniques as well. Madara could use the Uchiha forbidden jutsu of Izanagi and he did so after his battle against Hashirama.
He likely also knew about Izanami but fans do not know if he could actually utilize this power or not. Regardless, given his power level, he is certainly one of the strongest Forbidden Jutsu uses inNaruto.

1Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki himself is a user of Forbidden Jutsuas well. In fact, two of his strongest techniques are Forbidden Jutsu. Naruto Uzumaki learned the multi-shadow clone technique at a very young age and this jutsu is forbidden. Yet, because of his massive chakra reserves, Naruto can easily pull it off.
The second forbidden technique that Naruto knows is Rasenshuriken. This Jutsu was forbidden by Tsunade because it did damage to Naruto’s own chakra circulatory system as well. However, eventually, he figured out ways to get around this problem and use this jutsu without any trouble.
