Let me correct you on a few things before i get started:
1) Sasuke dealt with Danzo with the HELP of karin who not only healed him in battle but with her sensor abilities she was able to see through his jutsu. Not to mention Danzo was holding back because he had to fight Tobi if he did win.
2) He was actually in Itachi's way and Itachi had to take unneccesary damage several times throughout the fight in order to protect Sasuke. Sasuke literally did nothing the entire fight but shoot his Susano arrow thing to pin down Kabuto, and I highly doubt Itachi was hinging it all on that single move... Big brother just wanted to make little brother feel useful.
3) Yah, and he also defeated the Sound Ninja that ganked him during the chunin exam, lets leave fodder where they belong.
4) The Orochimaru who was in agonizing pain and dying from necrosis AND could not use any jutsu? Ya... he sure showed him [

5) You realize Itachi let him kill him right? Not to mention that Itachi too was dying from an illness.
Sasuke's story is that of the guy who literally failed his way to the top. I am not impressed by any of his feats and any power he has right now was either handed to him or fed to him with a silver spoon with the help of his so called allies that he cares nothing about. Neither to I particularly like Naruto who is the one trick pony who rasenganed his way to the top... Kakashi or Orochimaru are more of a ninja than any of them combined. No bloodlines, no hand outs, just good old fashioned hard work and perseverance.
1. Karin didn't do jack shit during their fight. She healed him before and after the fight. And I guess Danzo
could have delayed his death a few more seconds. lol
2. Kabuto would have re-written the spell on Itachi's mind if it hadn't been for Sasuke. Itachi had to fight him without killing him, which was a harder task than he had thought it would be.
If Sasuke wasn't there, Itachi would have been done in with Muki Tensei.
Itachi would have been done in with Tayuya's Genjutsu.
If Kabuto hadn't been trying to go for Sasuke during that screaming dragon attack, Itachi would have been the primary target and lost.
3. Last time I checked, Deidara was one of the strongest guys in the Akatsuki, and not some f*cking fodder as you say.
4.Orochimaru still trapped Sasuke in his Body Transfer Jutsu, so it didn't matter whether he had AIDS! Sasuke is and always will be stronger than Orochimaru. It was Sasuke's dark chakra and will that eroded and took over Orochimaru's personal space! It wouldn't have mattered if Orochimaru had infinite stamina and chakra. The result would be the same.
5. Itachi's purpose may have been to die by his brothers hands, but that didn't stop him from going all out. Tsukuyomi..............and even Amaterasu! He used it all on Sasuke!
Itachi had to drive Sasuke to his limit. He did that by trying to kill him. It was an Uchiha style survival test, and not only did Sasuke pass, but he drove Itachi to his own death, even if it was from exhaustion and disease.
Kakashi and Orochimaru didn't have handouts? Are you brain dead?
Have you ever looked at Kakashi's eyes? I'm assuming you have since that's the only visible part of his face. There's this eye known as the Sharingan and rumor has it that an old friend of his sacrificed his own life for Kakashi then gave him that eye. SMh
Orochimaru is the biggest snake apart from Danzo. He betrayed Hiruzen's trust and the trust of his own villagers by stealing forbidden jutsu from his village just like any other Akatsuki member, to increase his life span and strength!
He performed experiments for Danzo with his permission and gained the Curse Mark ability as a result of it. Edo Tensei is not his jutsu.
Sasuke has worked and suffered for everything he has gotten. He has paid his dues.
