this topic those not include the dead ninja. as far as you, who are the ten most powerful ninja alive (list in order of strengh). give your reason if you can.
1) Naruto- because he is the kuuybi host, he has sage power greater than anyone before him including jiraiya, he was able to fuse sage mode with kuuybi mode (unclear of its abilities), he got some unknown powers from Itachi, I still believe he got some powers from Nagato and the 4th hokage, he is in possession of the kuuybi key scrull and what ever else that is seal in it, his presumely bloodline limit has not been shown yet, and he has the supports of toad army including two sage.
2) Madara- because he was strong enough to control the kuuybi, he is presumely in possession of the EMS, he is currently some what in possession of seven binjuu, he is strong enough to lead the akatsuki in the shadow, he was strong enough that even the 4th hokage couldn't best him, etc..
3) Raikage- he is a fearsome opponent that even killerbee mentioned, he loves fighting and only respect power and strengh
4) zetzu- because he is Madara's most trusted Ninja, he has recorded countless fight and probably learned those techniques, he gives order to almost every members of the akatsuki, he is the only member in akatsuki that hasn't been shown fighting or ordered to catch a jinjuriki, he always clean up the akatsuki members' trace.
5 or 6) Killerbee- because he was strong enough to beat sasuke and his team, he is able to fully control his binjuu, and he is training to get even stronger
6 or 5) Kisame- he fought gai, lee, tentem and neji with just 30% of his chakra and almost defeated them, he is probably the strongest ex-member of the seven swords men of the mist, he is stronge enough to be one of the three known remaining of the akatsuki, he defeated the 4 tail jinjuriki by himself and looked unharm, he is strong enough to madara to send after the eight tails whom sasuke fail to defeat.
7) sasuke- because he has awaken two if not three of itachi's dojutsu (tsukuyomi, amaterasu and susuno probably), although he has lost the curse mark and orochimoro's power, he still has many jutsu that he leared over those years,
8) Danzo- because he is the leader of Root, he has suisen sharingan which is said to possess the highest class of dojutsu, he rivalled the third hokage for that position, and more to be seen
9) Tsunade- she is the last and the weakest of the sannin, she is the best medical ninja there is, she has super strengh and lot of fire power, she has katsuyu with many other skills, she was strong enough to become the firth hokage
10) kakashi hatake- because he has copied over thouson jutsu, he has sharingan in one eye and can access MS, he was strong enough to be consider a future threat to god pain,
