Shikamaru captured even Obito with his possession. The only reason he escaped was because of the Gedo Mazo.

its not like obito was facing darui and taking the sage's treasures while shikamaru sneaked from behind

Tbh .,.. Shikamaru yes
Shikamaru downfall is his lack of physical strength the thing with him is and shown with hidan is if someone who has greater physical strength then shikamaru can resist his shadows .... (The binding part) And the number of ppl that have greater physical strength > shikamaru is alarming so a lot of the people in Nv can resist his abilities and he has to outthink them ... If shikamaru bulks up and gets better physical strength the strength of his binding and shadow poweres will be OP as **** as for him beating a lot of mid Kage level ninja idk bout tht U_U but he is underrated

Sakura... Not so sure about she's amazing at what she can do which is healing her healing is second only to tsuande

But does tht make her Kage level ...no can she beat any Kage to put her on Kage level (that r known) no...

Sakura although her progression is somewhat limited to what is shown by Kishi she will progress into a Kage level ninja


But to me overall she is a mid-high jounin with a Kage level boss sommon

Like her strength is amazing
Her durability (Atleast unsealed) is great

But her tech fight wise is average at best

Her speed is average

Her chakra levels are decent

Her chakra control is amazing one of best in series

Stamina is decent


Also another thing that makes a ninja Kage level is ability to protect others .... Let's get this straight ability to protect others is different from ability to heal others Sakura has the latter
But she has not shown ability to protect anyone she is often the one in need of protecting ...Kage level is when ur abilities r overwhelming at same time u can protect a village or a city that u live in I believe tht she cannot...


For her to be Kage level she needs to be able to take out a Kage with her abilities and I feel like she can't do tht

The closest person I c her taking out is mei but I feel mei can just use hidden mist and then acid mist and watch her slowly melt seal or unseal she isn't getting out of hidden mist

Hidan and Kakuzu were easily restrained and would have remained restrained if shakamaru had full intel. He took possession of 2 akatsuki members himself.

That's no feat to underestimate. Even Obito admitted he would not wish to face Shikamaru on the battlefield.

Team gai shits on them.

Team kurenai is insignificant.

Choji and ino are meh.

Choji can beat them I guess.

the point is that they dodged the shadows and obito would've too if he were facing it head on [ ] [ ]

unless there is some form of distraction, (in this case darui, or chouji in kinkaku's case) his shadows arent hard to dodge

he complimented shikamaru on his team work and said he is a worthy opponent [ ]

Sakura is smarter than Naruto and Sasuke.
By feats she is the smartest one in k11. , Shikamaru just have hype. Sakura has actually don't almost everything Shikamaru did , and then some.

Like in vs battles people really think Sakura can be blitz and defeated by a attack because it's massive...like hello she is trained to avoid death

Shikamaru is not under rated,He and His Father were constantly praise for their strategy making brilliance by the Alliance. Sakura is not Underrated as A Medic. It's Her Dumb battlefield decisions like attacking Madara alone thats in question along with no guts to stab an eye for the Alliance.

- unmatched destructive power

- superior chakra control

- legendary summon

- regeneration

- debatably the 2nd strongest medical ninja

- plus she can use Tsunade's Senju's arsenal

That's pretty impressive for a 17 year old girl who has no clan affiliation.

Shikamaru wasted a lot of panels saying 'THINK I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING TO SAVE US!!!!!'

This was terrible, since he should always have the answer ready. Kishi trolled his character.

I agree that Shikamaru is criminally underrated. For me, intelligence > raw power. As for Sakura, she isn't as underrated but I guess she hasn't had many chances to hone her skills or engage in proper fights.
