Zabuza help instruct the immature shinobi incredibly precise taijutsuand very effective use of both water system and wind - natured chakras . His battle against the untried Naruto and Sasuke showcased the results of Zabuza ’s didactics , but it was Haku ’s role in the Fouth Shinobi War as a Reanimation that truely showed how terrorfying they could be .

Students Include: Hiruzen Sarutobi

Because the series was determine during Naruto ’s formative yr , it might be loose to forget about the shinobi who fall long before him . Hashirama Senju was the first Hokage and one of the best inNarutohistory . It ’s his ideas that lie the foundation for how generations of ninjas learn their skill .

The background and design choice of the characters in Naruto was knowing to move a chord with children without families .

14Tobirama Senju Surpassed His Brother as a Teacher

Students Include: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, & Koharu Utatane

It seems unjust to let in Hashirama Senju as one of the greatest teacher in the Naruto series if Tobirama is n’t also included . After all , they are two side of the same coin .

Tobirama was also responsible for some of Hiruzen ’s grooming . Not only that , but he was the Second Hokage , and without him , one of the most organize methods of training new shinobi would n’t exist in Konoha . He founded the Ninja Academy that all untried shinobi attend to educate . Tobirama extremely valued education and believe everyone should have the same foundation of attainment , whether they had secret family jutsu or not .

13Orochimaru Was an Evil But Effective Teacher

Students Include: Sasuke Uchiha, Anko Mitarashi, & Kabuto Yakushi

In a technical sense , Orochimaru is a great teacher . He mix skill and breeding to augment his students into the strongest versions of themselves . When it make out to his own son , he made a very sinewy young ninja out of him , able to activate Sage mode before graduating Ninja Academy .

Despite Orochimaru ’s wickedness throughout Naruto , Boruto show a softer side to the former scoundrel , as his treatment of Mitsuki is much delicate than his treatment of late pupil .

However , Orochimaru loses a batch of point considering he ’s just as willing to give his scholar . They always were a means to an conclusion for him . Their own animation did n’t weigh .

Her sincere and genuine heart for her students ( and the other genin ) led them to love and care for her and Mirai after Asuma ’s pass . Even if she was n’t the good teacher , she clearly left a strong impact on those even outside of her squad .

Though Kurenai definitely had more than a few strong points , she ’s ultimately the least develop of the Konoha 13 ’s teachers . There are hints that she was a good mentor to Team 8 , but regrettably , it ’s difficult to order her much gamey compared toNarutoteachers who gravel a little more prison term to smoothen .

11Danzo Was Horrifically Effective

Students Include: Yamato, Sai Yamanaka, & Kakashi Hatake

Despite being one of the franchise ’s most irredeemable baddie , it ’s unmanageable to argue with Danzo ’s effectiveness as the leader of Konoha ’s blue side of operation . Being one of the leading mentors of the feared Anbu Black Ops , Danzo , and his lackey accomplished many horrific deeds ranging from effectual percolation to the slaughter of countless multitude , all for the rice beer of protect Konoha .

Students of Danzo proved to be fabulously efficient in accomplishment many people often associated with a shinobi and proved to be extremely loyal to the misguided senior .
