I can't figure why she is often considered the weakest in Akatsuki, or a low-rank character among the Narutoverse.
She is badass. Konan undermined an entire clan without the minimal effort, as well as dominate the main villain of the entire serie in a fair 1v1 clash, and she would have killed him if it wasn't for Izanagi. And you're still sure that any other member of Akatsuki would have done the same. Or even better, being Konan the weakest.
Yes she lost to Jiraiya but damn, Pain himself admitted that if Pervy Sage had a prep, he probably would have beaten him too. So it's not that discriminating.

She is stronger than Zetsu, Hidan and possibly Deidara, Kisame and Kakuzu as well. So you're argument is flawed. :|

She's not underrated, at least not on NB, Most people list Hidan, Sasori and Deidara below Konan which is just about right.

According to the rings, Konan's rank is quite high

I'm not talking about NB in specific, but only a "common feeling" among Naruto fans ;) I used "you" only bc I liked it more than "most people.."

Fair 1 vs. 1?


Konan had loads of prep, Obito none.


Hardly.

She made obitos kamui look like crap and funny thing is she blew his arm off before using the ultimate jutsu that right there made obito lose much credibility

Nearly dying against her and he was supposed to be one of the main villains ha ahahaahahahahahahahaahah

I wouldn't say most underrated but yeah. She deserves more "spotlight".

Remember what Aburame Shimi said " She turned her weakness into a strength, this one is strong."

you just summed up exactly why she isn't underrated. It probably wasn't a "fair" fight in the way you tried to make it out to be, because she had prep and a little bit of a home field advantage. Obito was hardly allowed the same luxury going into that affair. I didn't see anything that told me she could've just as easily have given him that much difficulty w/o either considering how she looked in a fight when she can't prep.

Konan is not really underrated. If anything she is overrated. She is a common favorite of most fans due to her paper skills.

She's overlooked not overrated in my opinion.

She established her bad assery with her paper ocean.

How is it Kishi's fault that the base underrates Konan.

He made her look awesome with how she fought vs Obito.

Because he centers Naruto and Sasuke (with some Madara and Obito kinda like Salt and Pepper). If he focused on any minor character, especially the female characters, then I wouldn't have made that sarcastic reply.

I'm beginning to have doubts on Sarada. Daughter of Sasuke be damned.
