Sakura can now easily defeat most Akatsuki members

[Amaterasuice]

I firmly believe that currently Sakura is now on par with the past Akatsuki members the likes of Kakuzu, Hidan. Deidara, Kisame , Sasori, etc. and pretty sure in the future chapters she will stand equal to BM Naruto and EMS Sasuke, Kishi is finally giving Sakura's character justice.

She at best could beat Zetsu. That was one of the dumbest statements on Nb, and Nb is fool of morons.

@Rike Senju:

I am certainly not biased toward Sasori, he is my favorite character overall. But since Sakura with a powerup is already capable of giving Sasori some trouble, I think it is logical to assume that a powerup-ed Sakura can give him even more trouble. That said you made a very strong point here, if you give Sakura intel and prep time for the antidote, you should do the same for Sasori, so maybe Sasori is still superior.

About the other guys, you are basically assuming that they dish out their stronger moves while Sakura does nothing but shouting "shannaro" and taking it in the face.

Why does no one include Obito in the akatsuki lists?

It is assumed that the top 3 of Akatsuki (Nagato/Pain, Obito, Itachi) is quite out of Sakura's league despite the power-up. I think it is fair to assume so, at least until new powers of hers are shown.

She can only beat Hidan.... IF she has intel.

Kisame absorbs her chakra and beats her no diff.
Kakuzu reaches across the battlefield and strangles her.
Hidan (without intel) cuts her up, is beat and sent flying away. But he then'd start his ritual and injure Sakura's organs.
Pein/Nagato doesn't require an explanation.
Itachi doesn't either
Deidara blows her to bits with ease.
Zetsu? Probably. . .Unless it's more than twenty Zetsu Clones.
Konan? HA! No, can't hit the paper gal.
Obito no explanation required.
Sasori? Iron Sand crushes her.

Obito, Nagato and Itachi. It is clear that the three of these cannot be defeated by Sakura. Nagato has Shinra Tensei to defend against Sakura's power as Obito has Kamui and Itachi has Susano'o. Nagato is extremely smart and Ningendo or Bansho Ten'nin can defeat Sakura basically. Kamui, Bijudama etc. is how Obito will defeat her and Amaterasu would "One Shot" Sakura. As will Tsukuyomi and a variety of other techniques in Itachi's arsenal.

Now let's look at the weaker end of the scale. Sakura could defeat Zetsu Pre-Yin Seal so I don't need to go over him. Hidan would get obliterated by Sakura's Yin Chakra Infused Punch. Hidan lacks the speed and the vitality to sustain the attack so he's done with as well. I will ignore Konan as we lack sufficient feats from her.

Mid-Level Akatsuki. They're easily the most disputed characters [in terms of ranking] in the whole series. Deidara cannot defeat her with C1, C2 or C3. The fact that Deidara is a long-distance, aerial fighter which limits what Sakura. C4 will defeat her without difficulty. In a fair one on one, Sakura will defeat Sasori. She has antidotes for his poisons and the brute strength and stamina to fight his various puppets effectively. You may argue that antidotes need preparation time...well poisons do too so we're either limiting both [Sakura would win by a long-shot in that case] or not limit either [Which Sakura will win with Mid-High Diff]. Kakuzu is disputable. He has the Earth Grudge Technique and has access to all 5 Basic Transformations. I think Sakura with brute strength can defeat Kakuzu however it is a flip a coin battle. Kakuzu can win due to his experience as a shinobi.

Sakura cannot defeat Kisame. He is clearly above Low Level Akatsuki [Hidan, Zetsu, Presumably Konan], Mid-Level Akatsuki [Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara] but is beneath High-Tier Akatsuki [Itachi, Obito Nagato]. However he can compete with Itachi, the weakest of the High Tier. He can absorb all of Sakura's Chakra with Suiton: Daikōdan no Jutsu or Samehada. He possess the ability to use some of the largest Suiton Release techniques that we know and can easily overwhelm Sakura and defeat her.

To summarize, Sakura has no chance against Itachi, Kisame, Obito or Nagato. She can with Low-Mid Difficulty defeat Zetsu and Hidan as well as presumably Konan. She cannot defeat Deidara because of C4 but if that is limited she will eventually win and she will beat Sasori. She can beat Kakuzu but the battle can go either way.

Edit - Bolded my type. My mistake. I am following all the excess hype from Sakura btw.

Curious, but. . Did you say Kisame was "low leveled" in the Akatsuki? If you did. . That's. . 100% incorrect.

as much as I wish it wasn't I feel kishi will make this new sakura powerup as strong as sm nruto ms sasuke just an assumption though

Deidara blows her up.

With intel, Sakura would still lose to hidan. To get to him, she has to run towards him. He can eventually cut her and then use his ritual.

Kakuzu demolishes her. I shouldn't even have to explain that.

Sasori has enough puppets to kill her with low diff. The only reason she survived the first time was Chiyo. And he let himself die.

Konan destroys her too. Long distance>Short distance

 

[~Uzumaki~]

What did NB ever do to you to make you create THIS thread?!

 

[Momo86]

stuff...

Premise: Sasori is reportedly stated as stronger than Deidara. If you bother looking at the databook you'll also see that he's stronger than all the mid-level akatsuki (Deidara, Kisame, Kakuzu = 32.5, Sasori = 34.5) and close to Orochimaru's league, albeit weaker than Orochimaru.

That said, Sasori doesn't need prep time for the poison whereas Sakura does for the anditote. Reasoning is that Sasori ALWAYS walks around with weapon laced with his special poison (with needs an extremely specific antidote, I remind you) whereas Sakura doesn't walk around with antidotes to ALL poisons in her pocket.

The keys in almost-defeating Sasori where that Sakura had intel and prep time about the poison after Kankuro's fight with Sasori, and Chiyo had intel on most of Sasori's traps and the Iron Sand various feats.

Sakura can, of course, evade all attacks and demolish all puppets with some effort, but saying that his poison doesn't count anymore is uncorrect.

 

[FourthLegacy]

Nope, i have to disagree.
I love her..but ...nope.
....
She could easily with assist (like Naruto or Sasuke)

 

[Telos]

Sakura can easily fight and defeat most Akatsuki members on her own now.

 

[Momo86]

Sakura can easily fight and defeat most Akatsuki members on her own now.

The solidity of this reasoning hits me like a ton of bricks.

 

[End of Days]

sakura and tsunade's fighting style is the absolute worst

rushing in like mad bulls and trying to punch everything in front of them will be their downfall

it may look good when fodder mini juubis get thrown in air but its worthless against competent fighters

 

[Funky Tiger]

If Sakura's that strong then I'll believe that Naruto's mother is Orochimaru.

 

[BlackFlame44]

I can beat them all with my BOOMERANGY DOUBLE SPINNY FLIPPY HIT RANDOM GUY AND BOUNCES OFF HIS HEAD AND HITS YOU COMBO SHOT!!!!

^ this right here

 

[bablujojo]

Hidan - maybe with strength, strategy, and genjutsu
Kakuzu - she loses cause of many hearts
Kisame - she loses cause of samehada chakra absorption
Nagto - wth no
Konan - NO
Deidara - maybe, if she keeps him at close distance and casts some genjutsu
Sasori - maybe, she has good reflexes
Orochimaru - NO WAY
Madara - NOOOOOO
Obito - no
Itachi - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Zetsu - NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so...only Deidara, Sasori, Hidan
