Akatsuki members aren't that strong.

Some people say everyone in Akatsuki is at least Kage level. That is wrong.

Nagato = Kage
Konan = Jonin
Hidan = Jonin
Itachi = High Jounin
Kisame = High Jonin
Kakuzu = Mid Jonin
Deidara = Mid Jonin
Sasori = High Jonin
Zetsu = Jonin (but he was a god low key)
Obito= High Jounin (when we count just his own main arsenal all he has is Kamui)
Orochimaru = Kage

So Nagato and Orochimaru are the only Kage caliber shinobi from Akatsuki. Don't think I'm bashing these characters, I'm not. Of course some of these Akatsuki can beat characters who actually hold the title of Kage with their unique and dangerously strong abilities (which is what Akatsuki recruits for in the first place) but that does not automatically put them on the level of a Kage.

Jonin is a high rank in the Narutoverse. Calling someone Jonin level is not bashing them because technically its the highest rank one can achieve on the ninja scale. Kage is something only you can get when the Jonin of the village, its people, the elders, daiymo, and sometimes the current Kage deems you worthy from trust, respect, etc. Although top tier skills is another need for Kage, you don't need to have the best in your village (ie Jiraiya and Tsunade, Bee and Ay).

So yeah, not all Akastuki are Kage level.

being a kage isnt determined by the number of jutsu's you have. obito has more then minato. maybe you should read his jutsu list Lmao. obito is kage level

I never said it was. It just so happens that Nagato and Orochimaru have more jutsu then all the other Akatsuki. Not my fault they do. Blame Kishimoto. U_U

Besides Zetsu and Hidan most of them are at least mid Kage level. Itachi,Nagato,Obito,Kisame are above high kage level.

I hope you realize that very few jonins are actually strong, such as Kakashi or Gai.
Most jonin were in the war as fodders that die by kunai and sticks. That's your typical
low-mid jonin. 3 Tomoe kakashi and Darui are both already high jonin. Everyone in the
Akatsuki is definitely kage level. Maybe not Hidan. Hidan was kind of pathetic. And white
zetsu obviously isn't either. But besides those two... all kage levels.

^this^ xd jonin level is not as powerful as you're making it seem like asuma was a mid jonin who was underneath kakashi and gai who were high jonin or kage level before part 1 ended. akatsuki was all srank/ kage level except for hidan (fodder) and zetsu

Your not understanding. 4 tailed Naruto beat Jiraiya and Orochimaru, does that mean start part 2 Naruto is stronger than both of them, thus Mega Kage level? No! All of the Akatsuki has dangerous abilities and skills. All of which are unique, most never even heard of and are hard to beat. He beat Kakashi witht he most powerful genjutsu, a genjutsu Kakashi was not aware of either. He took him down because of that and thats why they are in Akatsuki. They have unique skills to solo people in one vs ones (jinchuriki) and capture them.

I thought about it, but didn't put too much thought into it. Some guy said everyone except Hidan is Kage level, well... can everyone except Hidan beat at least the weakest Kage we have seen (Troll Kage + Gaara Daddy) ? No! So then everyone would not be Kage level then.

I dont understand. Jiraiya was not even trying to kill Naruto, and Orochimaru was toying with Naruto while he was restrained.

Out of millions in the Narutoverse, these are the few who are extremely strong. The Akatsuki are all S-Ranking Ninja.

Obito's a high jounin?

What high jounin defeats a kage, takes over his village and create akatsuki in it?

His only arsenal isn't just kamui, it's like saying Itachi's only arsenal is Amatersu or Muu is Jinton.

Deidara = Mid Jonin
Obito= High Jounin (when we count just his own main arsenal all he has is Kamui)
Orochimaru = Kage

Would you please tell us what you were smoking when you wrote this? Deidara is Mid jonin? Did you forget that Deidara beat Kazekage Gaara in Gaara's own village, and kidnapped Gaara?

Itachi is high jonin? Did you forget that Itachi massacred the whole Uchiha clan, the strongest clan ever? Uchiha clan was the police force of Konoha. Itachi humiliated Orochimaru twice, first time when he was 14, last time when he was at his dying moments

Nagato is just Kage? Are you serious? Nagato can potentially solo all the five Gokage if he's mobile. He literally soloed whole Konoha to dust with his 6POP puppets

And finally Obito...Obito is High Jounin? Double MS Obito is stronger than SM Hashirama, EMS Madara and so on. He can neg diff any of the current Gokage even without trying

Such a retarded thread...fail

But S rank does not mean Kage level. Gai is just a jounin and can solo most akatsuki except Obito/Nagato with 7th gate. If they lose to this Jounin, what level does that make them? Thats what people are doing with the Akatsuki. "Because Itachi beat Kakashi hes obviously higher than jounin thus kage level" bull crap. Makes no sense. Kankuro and Sai beat Sasori and Deidara so yeah they are obviously Kage level. :rolleyes:
