Many people believe Konan is the best Konochi in the series. This could not be further from the truth. Actually she was the weakest in akatsuki aside from zestu. Im not character bashing just sharing my opinion. I dont believe she is as strong as many would make her seem she is. heres why i believe what i believe.

These are pretty much her main form of attack.Paper projectiles in which she manipulates the shape and speed. And Exploding paper bombs with the ability to manipulate them aswell.


Paper Shuriken
Description:
A technique that consists of pouring one's chakra into a scrap of paper in a split second, hardening and sharpening it, so it can be used as a shuriken. Its sharpness is equal to that of a shuriken made of metal. The user can further increase the power of the shuriken by making it into certain shapes.

Dance of the Shikigami

Description:Using her high origami and ninjutsu skills, Konan can turn her body and clothing into many sheets of paper. She can control and reshape even parts of her body with sheets at will, making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, paper airplanes for quick transport, or simply covering her enemy in sheets of paper, restricting and asphyxiating them.

This paper is seemingly expendable, including parts of her body converted to paper; and how much paper she can expend depends on her chakra reserve. She can also hide explosive tags amongst her papers to add a deadly surprise to her attacks.

Pros:
~She can also gain the field advantage with her ability to fly.
~She manipulates paper explosives to give her a destructive sense to her offensive when using her origami manipulation as well.
~She shows an extreme amount of mental ability. she seems to have excellent battle planning ability.


Cons:
~She has no elemental usage or genjutsu at her disposal.
~he attack and defenses are limited for someone of her skill level
~As far as her defense, she seems to have a weakness against oil. The immobilization of her paper is a huge
weakness because all of her jutsu usage is stopped if she cannot use her paper. [though she does show a significant resistance to water. water does not effect the use of her paper.]



Her best attack performed was her paper ocean jutsu

However this technique requires prefight preptime, and can only be performed on the ocean or a large body of water. With that said its unrealistic to say she can perform this jutsu anytime she pleases and should not be used in versus threads for these two big reasons.

Conclusion:
~With a limited ninjutsu/attack ability and an easy exploitable defense, its clear to see konan is not the greatest konoichi everyone believes her to be.
~She was the weakest in akatsuki aside from zetsu.
~Konan is mid to high jonin level NOT S rank like the rest of akatsuki.

No it's Tsunade.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Sakura is what, 16-17 years old and already has some of Tsunade's best abilities. Tsunade and Sakura's difference will soon only be separated by experience. keyword : Soon, Sakura hasn't reached her level of usage with any of the powers yet.

Konan beats Tsunade and Sakura, just due to the advantage.

No way of hitting her.

I'd say she's low Kage; not really that overrated tbh.
Not overrated but you say shes low kage level with no affinity and no genjutsu and no proof of any taijutsu skills. seems legit.

Konan > Lord Jashin
I can admit this. I stand corrected. Shes the third weakest in akatsuki not the second.

I call a stalemate... or solos.
Lets go with stalemate

isn't that Tsunade's title (between her, Mei and chyo) ??

but, i disagree on "the weakest akatsuki member" thing, that is Hidan/Zetsu's title U_U.
Yeah i admit i was alittle rash there. i honestly forgot about hidan if i must be honest. but yeah shes third weakest instead of first

'Not really that', I didn't say she wasn't. Quality > Quantity.

And konan has no way of hitting them inside katsuyu your point.
Stalemate then, though I highly doubt her paper shuriken cannot cut through Katsuyu. Hiding in Katsuyu really doesn't help Tsunade win either; she'd have to come out to beat Konan. If she doesn't, it's a win for Konan.

The same could be sade for Gaara, and he's Kage level.
Gaara has a broad range of ninjutsu and even fuuinjutsu. His defense is one of the bests in the show. i get what you mean by saying the same can be said for gaara, but gaara does not lack as much as konan does as far as offensive and defensive ability.
