Dan was a hokage material

[jiraya namikaze]

I think with ghost transformation he was really strong but was killed for plot

 

[Ōkami]

I don't that can be decided over one jutsu.

 

[TheEvilOne]

Well according to Kakuzu, he was the 'Gold General of Konohagure', the databook classifies him as a high jounin level ninja, according to Choza it was very hard to trap him in that barrier ( despite he had several random fodders who helped him ), so yep, Dan was pretty skilled.

 

[uchihamad]

So the person who killed him was over kage material

Or he was killed when his spirit wasn't in his body.

 

[Wabbit]

He was also created for plot.Just for the sake of Tsunades past..

 

[uchihamad]

Or he was killed when his spirit wasn't in his body.

I am sure his body always guarded by his friends...

 

[aaron95]

High jonin, not kage

 

[-ahhimane-]

During the whole Edo War, he was trapped in the barrier. That itself shows how much dangerous and skilled he was.
He was a close to a Hokage's level.

Ghost jutsu > Kamui, Manga fact

 

[Animeniak]

Just over one Jutsu? He's High Jounin material, haven't seen much of him so it's pure speculation and assumption.

 

[The Sach]

We don't have enough intel on him to say that, so for a while, can't say.

 

[novacore]

i thought oro killed him

 

[Young Thug]

dan was made from a hokage material? that must be some pretty tough material

 

[UchihaNagashi]

Based on what? That one jutsu?

Okay, he fights for example Kakashi.

Kakashi makes a Kage Bunshin for the spirit and another for the real body.

Kakashi cuts him in half - very skilled guy.

Just because you're a general doesn't mean you're the strongest.

So you gave Kakashi full intel to give him a chance? Interesting.

Not to mention, even without intel Kakashi could easily Kamui behind him no matter what and strike him down.

Since Dan has no intel either, he'll die while scratching his forehead out of wonder.

 

[miromiro]

Nope, 1 jutsu can't decide it, plus it's not that big anyway. See Inoichi's part one jutsu Mind Destruction Jutsu, it's even more efficient and can be used for spying as well.

We know too less about Dan to rank him anywhere.

Obviously Kakashi >>> Dan.
But he can win if he has full intel and Kakashi has none. He could hide and use his spirit technique. He is invisible in spirit form and he is extremely fast.

That's... cheating.
