Hebi sauske was awesome he fodderized team 7
No Asuma, Darui, Shizune, Kurenai, Temari, Neji, Kakashi, Kankuro and Gai are all called jounin. Not all of the aforementioned are on the same level.
... Kakashi and Gai have always been jounin... especially Guy.. he wasn't even considered for hokage.. lol.

Within the tier of "kage" level, I always felt there were subsets.
Low-Kage
Mid-Kage
High-Kage
Elite-Kage
I know it gets messy, but I would classify Hebi Sasuke as a low-kage fighter.
I rank Hebi Sasuke as mid-Kage level. I see him stronger than Tsunade and Mei, and is capable of challenging if not outright defeating Gaara (depending on location).
Fixating on a ninja's rank to determine their power is unwise, otherwise you'll end up with conclusions like Neji being Gai's equal since they're both Jonin. Hell, Kakashi has been a Jonin for nearly 18 years, and you'd be hard-pressed making an argument that he has been on the same "level" for that long.
The Sannin are all Jonin too (barring Tsunade who became Hokage), so with that logic, kid Kakashi is on their level as well, which of course, is a ludicrous proposition.
You're missing the point. They are powerful enough to be on a Hokage level template, hence them being labeled Kage level. Them being Jounin has to do with their Ninja Ranks. Barely anyone reaches the Hokage "Rank" only the selected do, but that doesn't detract from the people who have abilities that contest a Kage; EX. Kakashi and Gai.
People in those ninja ranks determine the prowess in that specific rank. Thought that would be common sense.
Fair enough. So Kid Kakashi = current Kakashi because they are both Jonin. Oh, and Naruto is far weaker than Neji because hey, Naruto is a Genin. Obito is a Chunin so I guess that means Iruka is on his general level.
What you fail to realize is that the Jonin rank is the highest rank possible without becoming Hokage. There can only be one Hokage, so the chances of going past the Jonin rank despite being on the Kage level are slim. Naruto, Gai, and Kakashi are Konoha's three strongest nin, and are easily Kage level yet are not actual Kage's because the Hokage seat is currently being filled. It doesn't take away from their overall power, though.
Fail again.
Current Kakashi would simply be defining the highest prowess for a Jounin, same for Darui. "kage" is also a position...
Kakashi is not on the level of the Kages.. hence why he is not Hokage level.
Sannin level is kage level.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade are all kage level hence Sannin level is kage level. I'm not talking about when they first got the title. Titles don't mean anything in Naruto. Naruto hasn't been considered for kage yet, does that mean he isn't kage level?Sannin isn't kage level. They got the name sannin way before any of the 3 were even considered for the hokage seat.
Hebi Sasuke: Fought off Deidara who fought Gaara, a Kazekage. Pushed Itachi to use susanoo. How is he not kage level? Are you implying that regular jounin level ninjas can fight Deidara or that they can push Itachi to use susanoo.I'd disagree....first off on feats alone at that point he beats honestly no one.
Hiruzen: fought off Tobirama, Hashirama, and full power Orochimaru....
Tobirama: Killed someone with a MS (Ina) who was rumored to be a genius in battle like his brother.
Tsunade: Overmatched Orochimaru AND was seen to heal from stab wounds.
Mei: Lava release, Water Dragon, Acid Mist release.
Trollkage: Killed MUU who would easily wreck Sasuke at that point.....used Exploding clone and had Hydrification
He beat Deidara because he had an elemental advantage. Honestly Deidara was amazing in that fight. Despite his disadvantage he pushed Sasuke to his absolute limit. And if it weren't for a little bit of a plot summon (considering hos no chakra)....Sasuke would have died as well.
And naturally Itachi wasn't going for the kill so can it truly count.
Hebi Sasuke is good, but isn't Kage level.
Wow, Orochimaru taught him well.Hebi Sasuke was mid Kage.
He'd mow down Tsunade, Mei, and many other lower tiered Kages with lightning/fire ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Manda and sage chakra (curse seal) is just icing on the cake.
