yes madara was a big deal back in his days, but look ofcuz he would be, he was the onli one to have MS(which was such a rare feat..almost legendary, not the sharingan users cough out ms evrytime they cough) so it wasn hard to stand tall amongst his generation.until suske does something similar he cant really be in the same category, if you look at it itachi gave him MS and EMS, what did he achieve?..plus we dont even know if tobi is madara.
yea he does hav the upper hand against gaara, but he is a kage after all, we'l see more about his ability in the next few chapters (how he deals with the previous raikage)
genjutsu wont work on him b'cuz suske isnt as skilled as itachi so he can noly cast genjutsu through the eyes, gaara's somewhat of a sensor plus his 3rd eye technique he dusn have to look at suske with his eyes
ur speaking as if these are genin level ninja's his up against...these are kages ur talking about..the strongest of their village...the only reason raikage was reckless was cuz he thought suske killed B, u saw what he did to the table in the kage meeting jus b'cuz they mentioned B's kidnap..now he knows B's alive i dont think he'l be that hot headed
so yes each one of them will be a formidable opponent but as far as this thread goes the 5 kages would win
with deidara if wasnt for his elemental advantage he would have been blown to smithereens, itachi let him win, oro was a dead man walkin at the time of their fight...but oro was stil in suske's body..it was itach that took care of that. if it wasn for karin danzo would have left suske in the dust.
i didnt say his immune, he dusn have to look at suske b'cuz of his 3rd eye technique, might pierce through but he's more than capable of deflecting the arrows with the sand...
it wasn a magic trick..he can turn islands into dust the onli reason he set a boundry with the cube was so it dusn take out the kages as well..so if madara wants to intervene he can turn to dust as well, plus read my first post on this thread regarding madaras intervention
