Most respect: Itachi- He did what none of the dead kages from konoha (or any other village), akatsuki members and any of the other powerful ninjas kabuto summoned back from the dead could; he broke free from the summon. not even the new super-powered nagato could do that. when he was alive, he was extremely limited in strength due to his low chakra and his fatal illness. despite that, he was even in power with jiraiya; the strongest of the 3 sanin. now he is disease-free, POSSIBLY immortal and is still much smarter and experienced than naruto, bee, kakashi, shikamaru and kabuto (if you disagree, go back and see how he man-handles everyone of these or the guys stronger than these). all he needs now is a super-boost to his chakra. this guy could very well be the next super sage. if it wasnt for him, bee and naruto wouldve gotten killed for sure and used by kabuto as mere puppets. nagato was tossing bee and naruto around like rag dolls and stealing their chakra like a huge bully taking some wimpy kids’ lunch money. but in 1 split second, itachi took out 2 of nagato’s paths, chopped off his arms, ripped bee and naruto away, protected them, moved them to a safe location and burned the snot out of nagato with his mangekyo sharingan; tearing his body to shreds. not to mention that within a matter of seconds, he figured out how to bitch-slap nagato’s most powerful attack and pretty much caused it to backfire. essentially tearing nagato’s body to shreds, again. AND he was the one to seal nagato’s soul so kabuto could no longer use him. so i ask again, how strong is Itachi? and dont mention sasuke , he only beat Itachi because Itachi was pretty much dead at that point from his disease. not mention i have the sneaking suspicion he was holding back for sasuke’s sake. but whatever. sasuke’s a fruit cake compared to Itachi. Lets not talk about his prodigy past (Slaughtered clan/Joined Akatsuki/Punished oro) this happend when he was around 11-13 years old.
Pain/Nagato-for obvious reasons: Destroyd konoha. do i need to tell you more?
Orochimaro-
1) Orochimaru is 50 years-old or something, and has 45-years of experience.
2) He has all these forbidden jutsus, and never stops researching, which means he will only grow stronger.
3) Orochimaru can summon all these snakes moves and can summon his giant snake Manda.
4) His ninjutsu is the most advanced. He taught the move "Kirin" to Sasuke right? 5) He fought 4-tailed Naruto head-on without getting heavily injured or killed.
6) He made Kakashi piss in his pants with just a stare!
7) He fought Jiraiya Tsunade at once with no hands or jutsus and gave them one hell of a time, and yet he survived!
8) He killed Sarutobi-sensei (Hokage) quite easily.
9) Even Sasuke stated that he won because Orochimaru was weakly sick. He had the guts to figth Itachi head-on but not Orochimaru?
10) Itachi fears Jiraiya(only of cause of his illness and wanted to save some eyesight and health to kick' sasuke's ass later and die by his hands). (Jiraiya, who is proved to be weaker than Orochimaru).
11) Itachi had to use his ultimate technique just to seal Orochimaru (only because of his "unfair" Mangekyou sharingan though).12) Sasuke evaded Itachi's Amaterasu with Orochimaru's move! This proves how much advanced Orochimaru's techniques are!
Less respect: Sasuke,kabuto and oro
all 3 of em have something to do with snakes.
BUt i like oro loooooooooo|
imo he is not respected by the most people.
