I think when discussing top characters, there's one who is often overlooked: Orochimaru. And I can understand why, too. When compared to techniques like Kamui or Mokuton, a bunch of snakes doesn't seem too impressive.

But let's take a closer look at Orochimaru. Some of his feats include, but are not limited to:

- Fighting Hanzo
- Created thousands of forbidden jutsu
- Developed Edo Tensei to the point he could use it to take on Hiruzen
- Fought a fully enraged four-tail Naruto
- Not only lived through that fight, but did pretty well
- Fought Sasuke a very short time after, and again didn't do too bad considering his condition
- Acheived immortality; can be reborn with oral rebirth or through a curse mark
- Easily the strongest of the Sannin

And these are a few examples. Might I add, that Orochimaru did more than half of these WITHOUT ARMS.

That means no ninjutsu, his specialty.

The most impressive of these, of course, is the fact that he fought on close to equal terms with a 4-tailed beast, and had no use of his arms (ninjutsu). That in itself should be a signal that WITH arms, Orochimaru might have caused Naruto to go to 5 or 6 tails, and maybe might have even won.

Jiraiya and Tsunade can't compare.

Orochimaru needs respect where it's due.

Completely agree, but it's debatable whether or not he's top 5.

he is only "easily the strongest sanin" due to him having Hashirama's dna now.... Otherwise hes not really that special from the others.

Full power Jiraiya was nearly killed by a 4-tail Naruto, an armless Orochimaru was fighting a 4-tail Naruto for the fun of it.

You were saying?

Tsunade > Orochimaru >Jiraiya > Tsunade.

Sage mode Jiraiya never took on 4-tails Naruto.. and nor did the base Jiraiya.... in fact he subdued Naruto.. Orochimaru was running away the last time I checked.

Tsunade is greater than Orochimaru? Don't make me laugh. Nothing Tsunade has can compare to an Orochimaru without arms, much less with arms.

That Jiraiya was full power Jiraiya, he could have gone Sage Mode if he wanted to. Jiraiya only "won" because he had a sealing tag, otherwise that scar might have turned into his body being split in half.

Idk, personally I think he's a bit overrated but that's just my opinion, I mean he's definitely strong, a top 15 I'd say maybe, but he's not as strong as you are putting on.

Jiraiya managed to deal with enraged tailed cloak 3 tailed Naruto and actually managed to return him back to normal. Although he almost died, he doesn't have a immortality so the fact that he was able to defeat 3-tailed Naruto cloak without losing his life is more impressive to me than a guy who is basically reusing bodies to do battle. Even if he doesn't have arms.

Plus I don't think he's the easily the strongest Sannin. Jiraiya's SM and Sound Genjutsu is pretty bad ass and even caught pain off guard. And Tsunade is cut in half right now and is still alive, so it's debatable which is actually stronger. Plus as far as Hiruzen goes, he couldn't even defeat an old man even though he had Edo tensei without losing his arms. That's not really something to brag about either.

Oro's problem is that he just doesn't stand out amongst the elite ninja anymore. He was cool in part 1 and ok in the beginning of part 2, but his only thing now is that he just keeps being revived. While that's cool that's certainly not a sign of strength. That just means that no matter how many times he gets revived he can't stay alive, which is really lame when you think about it. Guys like Hashi, Madara, Obito, Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, Minato, Tobirama, and heck even Kakashi now, Oro just doesn't really compare. Those guys are the new elite, he's in the category of guys like Guy, Sasori, Danzo, and guys like that who are strong, but just don't have it to really compete with the upper level ninja. Again just my opinion

Orochimaru was the strongest Sanin before his mokuton body, as you've said.

Now Orochimaru is back and may get another powerup

Katsuyu.. solos.

o-o, Same Tsunade that destroyed Manda, and made oro run away? Same Tsunade that Oro hyped as "1 punch killer"?

Don't see how Orochimaru can do anything to her.. when her only probable weakness is genjutsu.


He made that sealing tag.... lol. He was confronting Naruto straight up, not running. Different situation.


Nagato himself stated : Jiraiya > 6 paths of pain.
