In a battle Royale some of the characters would work together with people they trust in order to take down the mass majority (at least until they know they have to take down each other).

Some characters will be ganged up against due to them being a threat. While others will be smart and not rush head first into battle, and instead avoid combat until it becomes necessary.

Naruto has a lot of followers (including some very powerful shinobi), however he is the type to: head straight into battle, thin his resources against too many opponents, and he would have the largest target painted on his back in the entire shinobi world. There wouldn't be too many people with the ability to permanently put him down, but there are some people who could end up backstabbing him to remove him from the competition (Sasuke, 2nd Hokage, Obito, etc).

Madara, Kaguya and other major villains are individually some of the strongest characters in the series however they have no friends and it will be very difficult for them to convince anyone to work with them. If they play it smart however, they could take down the few people who have the ability to kill them and then everyone else would die in time.

I've actually gone with either Kakashi or Obito to probably win the whole battle royale. they are both well known shinobi, however they aren't going to be the primary targets of the battle royale (Kaguya, Madara, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hashirama) and Obito's identity is not as obvious as other characters. They both have a means to avoid most of the battle using Kamui, and have the mental restraint to avoid the thrill of fighting (something characters like Naruto, Hashirama, and Madara could not). They have a way to kill the other characters (Kamui, TSB for Obito) and are very hard to kill.

Since there are so many characters, it is nearly impossible to try and come to any sought of outcome. So I have gone with the people who have the highest chance of surviving this bloodbath.
