A Ninja Who Could have Surpassed Hashirama.. The ninja with the perfect body!

[Forget Me Not]

You vastly overestimate Kimimaro.

Without a doubt, he was indeed powerful. He also had great potential. Not to mention he's one of my all time favorite Naruto characters. He's also possibly one of the most unique characters in the Narutoverse.

Gaara at the time he fought Kimimaro was already a jonin level ninja. Kimimaro displayed more or less superiority over Gaara, who was again, a jonin level shinobi. He also defeated the Sound 4 at an early stage before he even had full mastery over the curse mark and they were CM2 high chunnin leveled ninja, all in his base/CM1 form. He also assisted Orochimaru in fighting the Kazekage who was a kage level ninja

Simply put, Kimimaro at prime was at least roughly high-jonin level. This could have possibly expanded to low kage level in the future. I cannot see him however going past that level without more jutsu/techniques or feats. He was a one dimensional fighter, just like someone like Gai or Lee except arguably a bit more versatile. Assuming he met his full potential, would he have been able to defeat someone like SM Naruto? Probably not. Someone like Deidara/Hidan? Quite possibly.

That said, while extremely formidable, his potential was limited. Kimimaro was the heir of his clan, making him the most powerful of his clan. His clan died due to recklessness and lack of quantity. The extend or degree of his bloodline do not rival that of a clan like the Uchiha Clan. Though without a doubt Kimimaro probably possessed the most powerful and durable body in the Narutoverse, that debate is between the Third Raikage and him.

In conclusion, notwithstanding what I wrote, I'd say Kimimaro's maximum potential is around low-mid kage level.

And no, Oro would not be stronger than people like Nagato/Hashirama/etc even with Kimi's body. These guys are too much. With an Uchiha body like Itachi's? Perhaps. We'll never know (maybe).

Imagine Orochimarus mind, with Sasukes eyes, and kimmimarus body..

Not really feasible. Orochimaru wants more than the Sharingan. He wants access to the bloodline and body to fully utilize the potential of the Uchiha Clan. As shown by ninja like Kakashi, those who are not native to the Uchiha Clan have constraints on the usage of the abilities.

In other words, all of this is mutually exclusive. He could either have Kimimaro's body or Sasuke's body. If he had Kimimaro's body and somehow managed to transplant Sasuke's eye's it would be somewhat pointless besides generic sharingan techs or possible MS jutsu.

But again, an Uchiha's full power is only reached if you have both eyes and are of the lineage.

Orochimaru+Kimimaro would be top ten (probably below Nagato, Obito, Hashirama, Madara, Naruto, and maybe Sasuke).

But if it was Itachi+Oro= above Obito but below hashirama and Madara

Kimi had tons of potential. He was incredibly strong for being only 15. He'd sure become one of the strongest Ninja if he reached his prime, but I don't think he'd become as strong as Hashirama.

First off, why did you bring up sarutobi when he has nothing to do with anything? That right there shows your biased and are probably a die hard fanboi of sarutobi.

FYI, Gaara was above jonin level when he was a kid, Naruto fox cloak was atleast chunin level and he played with that form. Rock lee drunken fist is easily jonin level taijutsu and he played with him. He played with all of them like little kids! He took there best shot and owned them like candy!

Tsunade would never on her best day land a punch on kimi! His healing abilities far exceeds hers aswell! Kimmi and her would just draw at best, she couldnt kill him, and he couldnt kill her.
Mei would loose! Shes too slow, and with his advance healing abilities w=he could with stand anything she would use. She wouldnt be able to last against his speed when 15. imagine his 10-15 years older..
Gaara couldnt kill him, so it would be a draw at best. Gaara doesnt possess a move that could kill him. Kimmi>>sand! draw or gaara seals him
Aye would hit and run and he would heal everytime. So aye wins by out lasting
Onoki with dust owns any ninja with out rinnegan basically

Kimmi at age 15 could easily fight with any of the joinin above and win. Kakashi with kamui is the only way he wins. any one else looses!

1. I care not for the 3rd Hokage, I used him as an example that many would say Kimi is a powerful ninja before they would say Hiruzen is. That is that.

2. Why do you say Gaara was at least jounin in part one? Was it the fact that he killed ninjas who had no importance thus are killed of b/c of that? Because many weak ninjas are can do that, the more important character will kill of an unimportant with no matter the power gap. If Gaara came into his fight with Kimi with his old mind set of being a heartless killer, Kimi would not have survived that fight.

Where is your prove that Naruto was at least chunin level? If that statement was true wouldn't he have been promoted to that level at the end of his exams like Shikimaru was? I'm just saying his skill set at that point of time was quite low and saying he was above genin is giving him to much credit.

Lee with drunken style is powerful no lie but saying Kimi with him is a joke. That whole time Lee was drunk, Kimi was surprised at what he was doing and was barely even able to touch Lee. And at the same time Lee was not even fighting at his best, he had just recovered from his fight with Gaara and did not use any of his gates that whole fight, nor did he drop any of his weights. If Lee went all out on Kimi like he did Gaara, Lee would have won that fight.

3. How can you say Kimi's 'healing' is on equal grounds as Tsuande one of the legendary Sanin who can get stabbed by Sasunoo and still live. I doubt any ninja besides the 1st Hokage can do that. We have also say that Kimi is not that fast, he is avg speed if anything. Which Tsuande can keep up with, one solid suprise hit would end Kimi and thats a fact. We saw what Tsuande's punches are capable of, just ask Madara's gut.

Mei is too slow??? Please that is a joke, as advance as she is, she can keep a distance between herself and Kimi easy and spam amazing water jutsu and Lava jutsu that would also end him. Last time i checked healing takes chakra and he'll run out before Mei does.

Are you Joking are you seriously telling me present Gaara stands no chance, that is a joke Gaara is able to stand his ground with Madara for a good amount of time, block Sasuke's black fire and fight Muu and the 2nd Mizukage, and he can't beat Kimi. That's a F*cking joke. Please try harder with your argument.

A would destroy him, just doing the same move he did to Sasuke who only survived b/c of Sasunoo

How does Kimi beat any jounin but Kakashi? Kakashi wouldn't even need Kamui for that fight.
-Gai would most certainly win this fight with little no effort
-Darui and the other commander of the war would also wreck him without breathing.

+1 mate! I totally agree with you.

Thank you, at least someone hear isn't blinded by the truth

Orochimaru+Kimimaro would be top ten (probably below Nagato, Obito, Hashirama, Madara, Naruto, and maybe Sasuke).

But if it was Itachi+Oro= above Obito but below hashirama and Madara

boy they would be #1, how the hell would you still put Madara and the 1st above that -_-
