Title says it all.

The kage body guards include: Darui, Temari, Shee, Kankuro, Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, Fu, Torune, Ao and Choujuro.

Your list should be based on their individual power. This isn't a team based ranking.

Individually, or with their respected partner?

Individually when it comes to overall power. Since not all of them have sufficient feats, you could also speculate if you feel so and so is much stronger and still has a lot more to show.

I would say the best group is Darui and Shee.

Of those listed probably the only ones to take seriously are Darui, Temari, Kankuro and Choujuro. Darui being the right hand man of the Raikage, and with the personality of the Raikage in mind thats not something to be taken lightly. Kankuro and Temari we've seen and know that they can do damage. Choujuro doesnt make the list persona wise, but only because he wields one of the Swordsman's swords. Everyone else is practically fodder.

Very low rank for me, please click here for reason:

I would put them in the -A to -S range, considering they are the Kages bodyguards after all. In no order of course. I prefer using Tier Rank Listing over top 10/15 list.
Darui: -S
Temari: -S
Shee: -A
Kankuro: S
Akatsuchi: -A
Fuu: -A
Torune: A
Choujuro: -S
Kurotsuchi: -A
Torune: A

I would rank them as Special Jounin, no higher. I rate them as this Bcause they never really take part of any combat, they dont have a wide range of justu as Kashi, so their def. not on that level. I really haven't seen them n any high level combat, I really want to rate them at Chunin, but I would think the kage would have a higher rank guarding them.

Darui is Kakashi level (without kamui)

The others strike me as just elite jounin level, so like Asuma? Torune could be a little bit stronger, not going to lie.

True but Kurotsuchi seems formidable as well.
I say Darui then.
He is probably the most versatile amongst the kage body guards considering he has impressive kenjutsu, two elements and one kkg so I can agree with this. He also has better feats compared to most of the other body guards. Although I believe Temari is stronger and has more fire power than him but he is overall stronger. Kurotsuchi has three elements to use in her disposal though so she isn't far behind when it comes to versatility.
Darui honestly could solo any one of the others.
Wind>lightning so I doubt he can beat Temari.

I would rank them as Special Jounin, no higher. I rate them as this Bcause they never really take part of any combat, they dont have a wide range of justu as Kashi, so their def. not on that level. I really haven't seen them n any high level combat, I really want to rate them at Chunin, but I would think the kage would have a higher rank guarding them.
Some of them have taken part in combat and have showed feats putting them above chunin level. Certainly neither of them are Kakashi's level but he is a kage level shinobi.

IMO:
1. Temari
2. Darui
3. Kankuro
4. Kurotsuchi
5. Chojuro
6. Torune
7. Akatsuchi
8. Shee
9. Fu
10. Ao

6. Torune
7. Akastuchi
8. Shee
9. Fu
10. Ao

I agree, I think Darui and Temari are on par with each other. Temari's ninjutsu IMO is stronger than that of Darui's though even though Darui has two elements as well as great CQC. Also she is slightly smarter than him as well. Not that it matters though.

Yeah, we saw Temari's jutsu was capable of tearing someone to pieces; Darui's storm release can't do that. However I think Darui is a natural born leader that makes decisions a bit quicker then she does. For example, Darui reacted to Samui getting taken hostage immediately with his storm release while it took a while for Temari to fight because she wanted to know about Raikage's abilities. But being smart does matter a lot!!
