Gotta say there is more to this thread than meets the eye.
Kakashi & Zabuza could do very well against Nagato and his paths. If they somehow managed to use the mist tech and Kamui the 'real' Nagato, they would win. Even without hitting the 'real' one, they would have a great combination of techniques.
Kisame & Guy....Strange team but powerful.
Nagato: One OP son of a gun but still. He would probably take this in my eyes and kill everyone with Chibaku Tensei which would be the most oportune techique against multiple opponents.
Good thread, although somewhat hard to comment on
Agreed
I would give this to Kakashi and Zabuza because:
Against Kisame and Gai:
These two are badass I agree with the 7 gates and Kisame Turning the battlefield into Atlantis, it would be tough.
Against the 8 gates Kakashi and Zabuza can use the hidden mist technique and all they have to do is hide before Gai rapes the mist and opens the battlefield up, but, who better to do this than Zabuza of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist, The Demon of the Bloody Mist, And the most Silent and invisible killer we've seen throughout the entire manga, and Hatake Kakashi the Leafs Rogue Copy Ninja of the Thousand Techniques.(lol over did it)
After all that Gai falls to the ground unconscious for the next several days and now it's Kisame against two famous assassins(chidori is an assassins strike- straight stab for the heart) and not enough chakra to fuse with Samehada and Create a bubble(I believe it says that it takes Kyuubi levels of chakra to fuse, which he got from the 8 tails) so he would probably run if he had the choice, or feed himself to his sharks.
Now For Nagato(OP)
The commenter above said that Chibaku Tensei would kill everyone...
I think that Gai 4 gates could get away Kisame is great at running... or was that swimming
Kakashi and Zabuza know how to gtfo and the moon is wasted.
If Nagato used his town wrecker instead of Chibaku Tensei I believe strong enough characters could just survive it, think about the damage it did, it crushed wooden buildings and created a 50ft deep crater, powerful yes but we have many ninja who are able to match or beat such a feat themselves(like 7 gate Gai or a punch from Tsunade) and others have been hit by these attacks and survived.
Now if that happens it leaves Nagato as the common enemy and Deva path is unable to fight for a while like when Naruto showed up(I think creating a moon is just as hard as his town destroyer), The paths eye link is useless in the mist where Kakashi and Zabuza go in, while Kisame and Gai wait for the first thing to jump out of the mist.
Kakashi x Zabuza :scorps:
