I'll quote someone on Tumblr who, in my opinion, it's right. So:
Quote:
just to clear up something;
Jiraiya
Tsunade
Orochimaru
Most of you know them as Naruto characters who most of you love and adore, but they are actually characters from the Japanese mythological story of the Tale of Gallant Jiraiya. There’s something you all need to know because this is really starting to piss me off.
The snake is stronger than the toad.
The toad is stronger than the slug.
The slug is stronger the snake.
Now put this is perspective with the Sannin and Squad 7.
Orochimaru was always stronger than Jiraiya. Jiraiya was never able to defeat him and failed to defeat him several times. Jiraiya was stronger than Tsunade. We know this because she expressed immense fear when he threatned to kill her if she joined forces with Orochimaru. Tsunade was always stronger than Orochimaru. As we can all recall, he got his ass handed to him when they fought during the Sannin battle royale.
This falls into place with Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke as well. Naruto is Jiraiya’s student, the toad. Meaning he will always be stronger than Sakura, and he will always be weaker than Sasuke. We know this because Naruto has never fully been able to catch up with Sasuke, no matter how hard he tried. Sakura is Tsunade’s student, the slug. She might not have high power stats and a lot of fans see her as weak, but she is stronger than Sasuke in some ways. As you can recall, Kakashi admitted several times Sakura had higher intelligence than Sasuke, better tactics, and better chakra control. Sasuke is Orochimaru’s student, the snake. This means that he will always be weaker than Sakura in some ways, and he will always beat Naruto
This is ****ing fact, my friends. Do your homework.
Of course, I think the battle between naruto and Sasuke will be equal in someway, but in logics, this wins..
