Naruto vs Orochimaru
Naruto vs Deidara
Naruto vs Kakuzu
Naruto vs Konan
Naruto vs Hidan
I wanna know who you guys think would win these.
Naruto has 2 Kage Bunshins hidden collecting natural energy at the start of each battle but is not in Sage mode yet. Let's assume he doesn't use the Kyuubi at all.
All characters are at their best and have intel on opponent.
I think that Naruto could beat every Akatsuki member right about now. If he could beat Pain, and keep in mind Pain has to be strong enough to keep all those members in line.
Naruto vs. Itachi- If Itachi used Genjutsu on Naruto, Naruto would just have to use sage mode or use Kyuubi chakra to break out of it. Also, Amaterasu is NOT unavoidable, and since he has intel on Itachi he would think of a way to avoid it.
Naruto vs. Kisame- Tough, but they each have large chakra reserves. Kisame seems to be a power-type like Naruto. However, he doesnt seem to have the surprise and deceptive abilities Naruto has.
Sasori- Naruto would have to sage mode punch him. Also, in SM...We are not sure those weapons in the puppets could pierce him. He did FALL from a great height onto some spikes and it didnt hurt...
Orochimaru- FRS could decimate Orochimaru beyond repair. Look what it did to human path.
Deidara- This would be tough. However, Sasuke escaped his body explosion by summoning Manda. Manda doesnt cooperate well with anybody and had to be controlled using genjutsu which takes TIME. Gamabunta and the other toads cooperate with Naruto. He'd just hop in their mouth and escape like Sasuke.
Kakuzu-Naruto pretty much beat him.
Konan-Talk no jutsu.
Hidan-Again, sage mode and he'd be pretty safe from that sickle-like weapon.
