lets see......
1. Nagato= got shinra tensei.....that must be enough for anyone...
2. Itachi= MS master MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SAY
3. Orochimaru= Yamata no Orochi, Manda, Edo Tensei, multiple regenerations
4. Sasori= if chiyo didn't had her mystical 10 puppets, neither chiyo or sakura would have survived........they got lucky and i doubt most of akatsuki can hold themselves agaisn't 100 opponents and sasori himself attacking, THAT WITHOUT INCLUDING third kazekage magnetic sand...
5. Kisame= Samehada makes kisame nearly immortal.... he got his chest blown out by hachibi's attack but with samehada stealing chakra he was able to recover....THATS A MONSTER
6. Deidara= For the simple fact he is a long range destructive fighter that makes him by far one of the best....
7. Konan= multiple exploding clones, big sea of paper bombs thats something i doubt ny akatsuki would survive
8.Kakuzu= 6 lives can give him time to find anyone's weakness....
9. White Zetsu: exploding paper bombs can own multiple zetsus(konan), sasori magnetic sand can PWN the million zetsus, Itachi with susanoo will steal all those things souls, deidara's C4 nothing else to say, kisame's shark cannon, big water dome, etc. Hidan is simply useless agaisn't millions of zetsus, kakuzu can blast them from distance with his total of 6 bodies, Orochimaru summons (snakes, edo tensei, yamata, manda, etc etc) can solve this, Nagato Chou Shinra Tensei or Chibaku Tensei will own White zetsu
10. Hidan= he's simply too slow and only able to fight practically 1 opponent at a time, when most akatsuki's use multiple bodies, multiple lives, clones etc etc..... If Hidan was faster I would rank him around 5-6 but this is not the case.....
I didn't put black zetsu because we still haven't seen him....
why I put nagato over itachi.... some people say itachi wasn't healthy so he's stronger than nagato.... COMMON ITACHI COULD AT LEAST USE HIS OWN FOOT AND WALK AND RUN AROUND NAGATO WAS PRACTICALLY ON A WHEELCHAIR!!!! and appart from that Nagato's power seems more destructive than any other...
