Top 30 characters/best kages/best Akatsuki

[Ghost in the Shell]

This my very own rendition of the top 30 most powerful characters in the Naruto manga. I won't be including Indra, Ashura, or Toneri. I'll incude Hagoromo and Hamura in a tier list if I ever decide to make one.

- Kotoamatsukami is not taken into consideration
- Did not include Yagura since his status as a perfect jinchuuriki is rather uncertain (manga inconsistency... Dat Kishi)
- Did not include BM Minato

8. Hashirama Senju
9. Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode/Edo Tensei)
10. Orochimaru (Zetsu/Edo Tensei) *I don't think he can control BM Minato

I would put Orochimaru above Kabuto, he can control BM Minato,

11. Killer Bee
12. Nagato

Nagato is overall above killer bee, he clowns anyone that is below him, whilst some of them could even beat bee under certain conditions,
bee isnt beating nagato either, especially not without intel

23. Gaara
24. Danzō

I dont mind this part of your list, though i personally would put Itachi a spot below minato,
i consider Ay, Jiraiya and Onoki to be slightly above Kisame though i dont mind this

25. Sasori
26. Deidara
27. Kakuzu
28. Hiashi Hyūga
29. Mei Terumī
30. Tsunade/Sakura

Sasori needs to go down,
Kakuzu and Deidara are both individually above his likes
i would put tsunade and sakura above mei as well

[Bogard]

1. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
2. Naruto Uzumaki (Bijuu Powered/Six Paths Sage Mode)
3. Sasuke Uchiha (Bijuu Powered/Rinnegan)
4. Madara Uchiha (Rinne Sharingan/Juubi Jinchūriki)
5. Kakashi Hatake (Double Mangekyō Sharingan)
6. Obito Uchiha (Juubi Jinchūriki/Double Mangekyō Sharingan)
7. Might Guy (8th Gate)
8. Hashirama Senju
9. Kabuto Yakushi (Sage Mode/Edo Tensei)
10. Orochimaru (Zetsu/Edo Tensei) *I don't think he can control BM Minato
11. Nagato

I agree with this part of your list as well as your reasonment. However i think that if you factor in Edo Tensei, Kabuto should be higher than Hashirama and Might Guy. Better possibility overall in my opinion

12. Killer Bee
13. Tobirama Senju
14. Minato Namikaze

I'd personally rank Minato above Tobirama(faster, better hiraishin usage, Limited Sage Mode, Better support summoning) and Bee below Tobirama(he was portrayed to be weaker than Minato and i don't think Tobirama is that far weaker than him). Although if this ranking is featwise only, i can understand

15. Mū
16. Ay (Third Raikage)
17. Itachi Uchiha
18. Kisame Hoshigaki
19. Gengetsu Hōzuki
20. Jiraiya

Jiraya should be above Kisame(he was portrayed to be stronger than him in the manga). At full potential, i think Jiraya is Alive Itachi level, so they should share the same spot or at best Jiraya slightly below him. I'd also personally rank Mû lower than them but other than that, i'm okay with this part of your list

21. Ōnoki
22. Ay (Fourth Raikage)
23. Gaara
24. Danzō
25. Sasori
26. Deidara
27. Kakuzu

I think Kakuzu should be above Sasori, but other than that, i agree

28. Hiashi Hyūga
29. Mei Terumī
30. Tsunade/Sakura

Hm not sure about you rated Hiashi that high, but it's true he got decent feats even with his limited screentime and his hype wasn't quite bad, so sure why not

 

[Ghost in the Shell]

- Until someone can convince me otherwise, I'm pretty sure that Sasori can use the Iron Sand to fly which gives him an advantage over Deidara and Kakuzu
- The only thing Minato has on Tobirama is the prepped kunai + support summonings (which Tobirama can counter w/ Suidanha), other than that they are virtually equal in every category. Edo Tensei and Gōjo Kibaku Fuda give Tobirama the edge
- Kakuzu's powerful, but I don't think he can beat Deidara or Sasori without intel, and even with intel he'll be pushed to the defensive
- Hiashi's rotation is very large, his air palm knocked back the Juubi's tail, and he has full mastery of the Byakugan, so I think his placement is fair.
- I don't think Sakura or Tsunade are more powerful than Mei, nor would either of them beat her in a 1v1
- I think the Raikage beats more opponents than Itachi and beats Itachi himself with high difficulty, which is why the former is above

 

[Bogard]

- Until someone can convince me otherwise, I'm pretty sure that Sasori can use the Iron Sand to fly which gives him an advantage over Deidara and Kakuzu

Kakuzu has AOE advantage over Sasori. Sasori's arsenal is mainly composed of kunais and domu should be able to tank all(outside the 3rd Raikage's iron sand maybe and even that is debatable). His puppets have also slow offensive power(Sakura could dodge them after some period of adaptation time). Additionally, Kakuzu's monsters showed the capacity to fly, so i don't think flight would give him any advantage. More like the contrary. considering he will be surrounded by 4monsters on a plateform whose mobility in the air is unknown(assuming he can fly with that). And Kakuzu has 5life to boot

- The only thing Minato has on Tobirama is the prepped kunai + support summonings (which Tobirama can counter w/ Suidanha), other than that they are virtually equal in every category. Edo Tensei and Gōjo Kibaku Fuda give Tobirama the edge

He also dangerous sealing jutsus, superior shunshin, defensive ninjutsu(space-time barrier), and Sage Mode(something that with support summoning has better potential). On a larger scale, Minato has better chances to defeat stronger opponents imo

- Kakuzu's powerful, but I don't think he can beat Deidara or Sasori without intel, and even with intel he'll be pushed to the defensive

I already replied on the Sasori matter above. Against Deidara it will be even easier considering his attacks(and himself) is weak against lightning. Gian and other lightning attacks should take care of him. He will also be surrounded by the 5monsters sooner or later(he doesn't gain flight advantage as well). And Kakuzu has 5life to boot

- Hiashi's rotation is very large, his air palm knocked back the Juubi's tail, and he has full mastery of the Byakugan, so I think his placement is fair.

Yeah i already know his feats. I even created a thread once to wank his kage level status lol

- I don't think Sakura or Tsunade are more powerful than Mei, nor would either of them beat her in a 1v1

I think so too

- I think the Raikage beats more opponents than Itachi and beats Itachi himself with high difficulty, which is why the former is above

Okay with him defeating more opponents but i think he will lose in a direct fight against Itachi

More like the contrary. considering he will be surrounded by 4monsters on a plateform whose mobility in the air is unknown(assuming he can fly with that). And Kakuzu has 5life to boot

Considering how slow the masks are and how quick Iron Sand drizzle is (not to mention that they're laced with poison), Sasori wouldn't have too much trouble plowing through the hearts. Kakuzu can have four hearts out at a time, but his suiton heart is featless and it'd be hard to predict what moves it would use considering that all the attacks Kakuzu showed the first time he appeared were new. Having the earth heart out would be a bit pointless since all it would be able to do is harden itself, and Kakuzu needs that heart inside his body to use Domu. Sasori showed the ability to control several Iron Sand blocks an shapes at a time, so shielding himself while attacking shouldn't be too much of a problem. I agree that it'd be a high difficulty fight for Sasori with intel, but in the end, Sasori beats more opponents in my opinion.

He also dangerous sealing jutsus, superior shunshin, defensive ninjutsu(space-time barrier), and Sage Mode(something that with support summoning has better potential). On a larger scale, Minato has better chances to defeat stronger opponents imo
Fūinjutsu that Minato uses requires a ceremonial altar. And yeah, I forgot about the Hiraishin barrier, that too also gives him an advantage
I already replied on the Sasori matter above. Against Deidara it will be even easier considering his attacks(and himself) is weak against lightning. Gian and other lightning attacks should take care of him. He will also be surrounded by the 5monsters sooner or later(he doesn't gain flight advantage as well). And Kakuzu has 5life to boot
I explained the bit about the hearts above. Deidara, who is fast on his bird and has the feats to back it up as well, can dodge Gian and so can C2 since it's too linear of an attack. C2 would destroy the hearts, and C3 would heavily damage Kakuzu even with Domu activated. Not to mention that C4 is a GG for him without intel on it
Yeah i already know his feats. I even created a thread once to wank his kage level status lol
I think so too
Okay with him defeating more opponents but i think he will lose in a direct fight against Itachi

The ceremonial alter isn't a requirement

 

[Ghost in the Shell]

Yeah it is, otherwise where else would he seal into?

 

[Gold Lightning]

he doesn't seal anything into the alter -_-

Nor does the databook say the alter is required, in fact the alter isn't even mentioned iirc

This is a sealing technique based on the fūinjutsu of Uzushiogakure's Uzumaki clan.[2] The sealing formula is used to seal any target into a human body or an object, and is mainly used when a giant enemy or evil spirit needs to be sealed away. To use it, it is necessary for the user to have great ability.[1]

What now?

What, does he seal into thin air?

He seals into a human body or an any object

So what are you getting at. Where does it say there that a ceremonial alter is required? Where does it say he seals into an alter. I don't get what you're talking about here or what you're trying to show ke.

The ceremonial altar or host would be the human body or an object... which Minato will never have access to in a 1v1 unless he can sacrifice himself via Shiki Fūjin, or sacrifice his team mates in a multiple person match.

No, shadow clones can't be used as hosts.

You cannot be serious. The alter is not the object the databook is talking about. The alter was only used to place baby Naruto onto. Nothing was sealed into it. Objects can be used, whether scroll, or pot or even alter...whatever. In the case of the manga, a human baby was used. Nothing more. Why would Minato not have access to his own technique in a one vs one, you aren't making any sense.
