Before he had this arms taken away? Definitely the strongest sannin. High Kage level. Itachi is an outlier and countered him well,
If Itachi beat him because of his sharingan, how is he weaker ?He only lost to Itachi easily because of his Sharingan which was a major advantage. Dragon Sage Mode Kabuto is stronger than Itachi though and was able to do major damage to him. But he lost because Sasuke was helping Itachi.
So...
Orochimaru>Itachi
Orochiimaru>Jiraiya
DSM Kabuto>Orochimaru
Any version of Madara>Orochimaru
Pain>Orochimaru
Orochimaru>Kakashi
Orochimaru>Hebi Sasuke
He's stronger than Tsunade but him and Jiraiya are very close in my opinion without edo.No, in the Sannin Fight, they were all weaken, so its hard to tell, but I assume following the Myth, he is stronger than them.
A lot of people, particularly itachi haters like to make themselves believe sharingan is the reason orochimaru got solo'ed by itachi. which in a sense is true. but not because it's an "sharingan" but because it's itachi's sharingan. and whatever itachi uses is broken asf. because let's keep in mind, even sasuke and suigetsu admitted sasuke only got as far as he did against orochi is because he was sick and unable to use jutsu, soooo let's stop the pretending that sharingan rekt orochi when the reality is orochi got rekt by itachi. comprende? :lolTotsuka actually has to hit it's target to work bruh. It's not a 360 degree omnipotent attack. And Orochimaru is a sereptitious, cunning individual. There is no way he's going to get hit by a physical attack unless he's weakened or he lets you. Ex. His fight against 4 Tails
And they might've held back but they still would've lost without genjutsu![]()
Wind > Lightning, yet hasn't lost.I think he was stronger than Jirayai and Tsunade. Slug > Toad > Snake according Japanese mythology.
