Kimimaro solo'd the Sound Four and even made them bow to him as their leader thus making them the Sound Five, and the Sound Four fought Genma and Raido and had a hard time against them.

If Kimimaro fought Genma and Raido would he win or would two Jonin be too much for him?

You're presenting false predications.

Kimimaro never soloed the Oto Quartet; that obviously false claim originates from non-canon content presented only by the anime, yet never shown or implied by the actual manga.

The Oto Quartet did not have a hard time against Genma and Raidou. These two Jounin, once part of Yondaime's personal guard, were utterly defeated and left with utmost fear and respect of Orochimaru's underlings who, in return, didn't suffer any casualities or even injuries. The only reason they felt the need to use the Juuin's second stage in the first place was because they had been in a rush and might have been defeated had they tried to conserve their powers.​

That being said, the outcome is undeniable. Neither Genma nor Raidou have displayed the feats necessary to keep up with Kimimaro's high speed [ ] and flexible Taijutsu [ ]. Genma's given databook stats, however, imply humilating inferiority. Considering their status, they're unlikely to be stomped; considering Kimimaro's capabilities, however, they're even more unlikely to achieve a victory. Should it get dicey, which is just as unlikely, Sawarabi no Mai would be certain death to them.

Yeah but going by feats, Kimimaro has the counters to all the sound four arsenal.

Anyway, Kimimaro beats these two jounin who only have shuriken, kunais and toothpicks.

Individually, that is; facing them all at once, though, he'd end up being killed. There's a variety of techniques on their part capable of defeating him; Kisei Kikai no Jutsu, Makyou no Ran and Kumomayu being the first ones that come to mind.

I don't remember what those are but from what I recall, Kimimaro's bone kkg does allow him to counter a lot of stuff that Sound four can throw at him.

He can recreate his eardrum, which is made of bone, to block out Tayuya's genjutsu. Kidomaru's arrows are tanked effortlessly and I believe Kimimaro can cut through his webs. Kimimaro can use his spine to break through Jiroubo's doton. Sakon/Ukon are pretty deadly though if they get inside him but he could probably harden his body to make it impossible for them to fuse into him.

Countering their abilities individully is one thing; countering them all together is an entirely different pair of shoes. Fighting together opens various doors to them, such as using each other's techniques as distractions or efficiently combining them.

Those are quite far-fetched counters; especially regarding Kidoumaru. In order to tank those arrows, Kimimaro is bound to anticipate them, which isn't given; even then, effortlessly tanking projectiles of such devastating force [ ] [ ] unharmed seems very unlikely. Regarding the webs, you seem to be blatantly misinformed; threads of such fine composition [ ] won't give in to ordinary blades [ ] [ ]; bones, even of utmost sharpness, are no exception.

Against Kisei Kikai no Jutsu, no means of increasing his body's durability will bear fruit as long as that very body is composed of cells. Mugen Onsa can be broken by other means, though one's eardrum is obviously not made of bone.

Kimimaro CM 2 ( which he would need to beat the sound 4) was able to break through and gaara's sand made from a jinchuriki's chakra .. i believe he could easily break through the webs my man .. and if he cant he could avoid them .. not to mention what are they going to do about braken dance? Its an Aoe attack that almost none of them can counter ..

And he has intel on all their abilities him being the sound 5's leader .. so he could easily anticipate the attacks .. not to mention he was able to read rock lee one of the fastest shinobi's movements and evade them easily .. in a open are he could see and react to all these things at once .. ( not to mention tayuya's genjutsu would be useless for it would affect her teamates) Kimi should be able to take them ..

My bad about the ear drum but I remember reading some bone in the ear a long time ago that is vital to allow people to hear. Since Kimimaro can manipulate bones anywhere in his body, he can shut off the bone that vibrates in the ear thus rendering sound genjutsu useless, however, I must admit that this means Kimimaro can't use his ears to hear potential attacks coming his way from behind him. Alternatively, he can manipulate his own bones to hurt himself to break out of genjutsu.

Jiroubo would get destroyed in taijutsu against Kimimaro and his rock attacks are easily dodged, deflected or tanked. If he gets stuck in the chakra sucking earth dome, he can with Tessenka no mae.

So as it stands, Sakon/Ukon and Kidomaru are the greatest threats to Kimimaro.

Now after reading your post, I'm not exactly sure if Kimimaro will come out on top.

I could easily say Sawarbi no mae GG but that is not my style and neither is it yours so I'll restrict that move for now.

Now Sakon/Ukon's abilities are pretty OP in the face of an average taijutsu user but someone with Kimimaro's taijutsu prowess and ability to use ranged bone sword attacks will make quick work of him. Comparing Kimimaro's taijutsu to the likes of 2 tomoe kid Sasuke or Kiba is an underestimation of his abilities who got a 5.0 in the databook with regards to taijutsu ability. Now to fuse to Kimimaro's body, Sakon will need to get close to him but if he does that, will injure him greatly. Even Rock Lee, who is faster than anyone in the sound four, so no one here can compete with Kimimaro in taijutsu.

Sure he is facing off multiple opponents but he did fight against a and even took on Rock Lee and Gaara .

Personally speaking, I think Kidomaru is the strongest in the sound four and is the biggest threat to Kimimaro. His webs are sticky yet extremely durable. His arrow, however, is a linear projectile attack and Kimimaro, with his 4.5 in speed should be able to react to it just fine. He could simply deflect it with various bone attacks including a localized sawarbi no mae used as defence or use his bone sword to deflect it away.

This Kimimaro was even fighting his way through Gaara's absolute defense and landed some hits on him. And he survived Gaara's insane sand attacks. Meanwhile all Genma and Raido has shown in battle includes throwing kunais and shurikens. Kimimaro wins, low diff.

I agree with a lot of Icelerate's post but there's no way in hell Kimmi's reacting to Kido's arrows.

Does he need to though? He survived sand funeral and sand tsunami.

I'm not saying he'd need to and I'm not saying he wouldn't. Just saying he couldn't. I'm a huge fan of both Kido and Kimmi and I can't see a single way that any bone in Kimmi could block an arrow that went through an entire forrest of trees that were easily 5-6 feet in diameter and still left a 7 or 8 foot wide crater in the ground.

We don't know anything about Genma and Reido outside of their limited ability with Hiraishin.

Kimimaro has much better feats and much better hype.
