[Discussion] Sai is extremely under-rated

[Moe22]

So i've recently noticed how utterly under-rated Sai really is. Perhaps this thread will help you think otherwise. I believe his jutsu is one of the most, if not the most versatile jutsu in the Narutoverse. Here are some examples:
We've seen his birds being used for transportation:

As well as carrying paper bombs (made by Sai, essentially unlimited stock of paper-bombs):

Melee techniques such as lions and Benevolent Kings:

And finally, a sealing jutsu that was able to solo a few members of the 7 swordsmen of the mist:

Agreed, he is Mid Jonin level IMO.

 

[imperium3016]

i agree that he is good. i wouldn't underrate him.. but he isnt as good as the powerful ninja.. but deff in the upper half of the k 11

 

[Erin]

He's no underrated (atleast by me) he just doesn't make a top 30 list.

 

[Twin Steps]

At least he's above Kiba & Sakura

 

[Cruciatus]

I think Sai is really freakin cool. Have to agree with you, he deserves more attention.

 

[Moe22]

At least he's above Kiba & Sakura

It's funny, someone here on the base said sakura is better XD

 

[Yatori]

At least he's above Kiba & Sakura

This... plus he can fly :snick:

 

[LordSasukeOfSixPaths]

he'll beat most of k11

 

[Insidious Smile]

I don't think so, bub.

 

[NeverEnding]

Very underrated with other members he is an all around good shinobi!!!

Thanks! and he was so important to the war! he was basically in charge of the ambush squadron (While Kankuro is over there getting poisoned) and he took out several members of the seven swordsmen single-handedly. Sure, he's not on par with Madara and Senju, but he's one of the strongest in his age-group in Narutoverse that we've seen.

 

[Moe22]

I don't think so, bub.

Why not, bub?

 

[GaaraKazekage09]

I think he is a very cool ninja with a very unique jutsu just like konan and her origami jutsu

 

[key 2 victory is avarice]

People think he is mediocre because he has no special ability that people would like to have. (There is nothing special about drawing a picture and it coming to life). But his skills are actually pretty decent since he was a member of ROOT.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

I'd say Top 3 of the K11, excluding Naruto and Sasuke, if they're not already excluded.

Nothing special? Meaning it's a common jutsu? I've never heard of any other shinobi using super beast scroll.

 

[Chief Darui]

Yea he is a very good ninja. He's perfect for a support character and the Anbu...very versatile

Then you'd have to make it the k12, since the k11 was a concept made before we saw him. 4 teams x 3 people per team = 12 people = konoha 12 = k12

 

[Penguin]

Low-Mid Jounin. At most.
