I find it kind of funny people who think Asuma is weak. Just to make you remember how Asuma is strong.

Taijutsu:

Asuma is probably one of the best close range fighter in this manga, able with , even able to (with his large sword Samehada) in this category. Kisame, the one who was even in in this area

Ninjutsu:

Like most of jounins, Asuma can use 2affinities(Katon and fuuton). We've seen him able to use which was to . He was also able to use (Ino helped Choji to evade it though)
But his most fearcefull technique is Hien, a technique he can use in close combat to decapitate in an instant his opponent, and like you can see , he can even extend the range of his Hien depending on the chakra he infuses in his blade

Reputation:

Asuma was well known cuz he was a member of the in charge to protect . And he was the strongest of the group. The twelve Guardian ninja usually have bounty on their head. Chiriku for example had a bounty of on his head, which was already according to Kakuzu himself. And it's stated that Asumas head was rated at (so 35millions Ryou)

Reason why Asuma is underrated:

- People think he is weak cuz he was beaten by Hidan, but honestly how could he have known that his opponent could kill you if he only has a drop of you blood? Hidan even powerful opponents like (able to turn into its Bijuu) with this technique. And contrary to the popular belief, Hidan is a strong himself like . That's why Hidan is considered as one of the best in Akatsuki if you look at their databook(he is even on Itachis level and stronger than Kakuzu in this category). On this pic, Asuma was simply reckless and he paid for it(without knowing) for the entire rest of the fight. From this moment, even majority of kage level fighters could have done nothing. Asuma was simply powerless. What could he have done against someone who can kill you everytime he wants?:shrug:

Shikamaru only killed him cuz he already knew his secret(in the contrary of Asuma), and he even needed great preparations to do so and we all know that in term of intelligence and strategical battle, Shikamaru is above kage level

I somewhat agree. Asuma was most likely the strongest jonin in Konoha after Kakashi and Guy.
Not strong enough to fight on par with Akatsuki members, like the two above, but well. Akatsuki is all kage levels, so...

He is low-mid jounin to me though.
He with to be considered only as a low jounin level i believe. Even if he lost to Hidan, most of Akatsuki members are at least high jounin-high kage level, so i think he is more like mid-high jounin level. Some people always forget that he is probably the strongest jounin in konoha after Kakashi and Gai.

Good thread Bogarde. I agree that Asuma is underrated although I think Yamato is the strongest jounin after Kakashi and Gai. Asuma is definitely a high jounin level ninja and I believe he can beat part 1 Kakashi.

Thanks, doubt he can beat part1 Kakashi(who was already portrayed as the strongest jounin in Konoha along with Gai) though, but i agree. He is clearly underrated :)
