Yeah I agree with that too, I was just overrating sasori a bit. I know that genjutsu is practically useless against him, so that takes away a huge advantage for itachi already
isn't sasori that guy with deadly poison?
Didn't deidara say he was stronger than him?
Wait, Why do you think konan would beat him? Explain this one please.
Hidan. Explain this one also please.
Kakazu. Explain this one also please.
Those 3 i asked to explain, I don't think they'd beat him, but i want to hear your reasoning. I think Sasori would win atleast mid diff
Nagato, tobi, itachi - sure.
Kisame, i think it could go either way, but sameda eating the chakra strings - I'd lean to kisame mid-high diff.
He isn't stronger than Itachi but in 1v1 he counters Itachi, and Sasori is crush Kisame, he just poison all the water and use Iron Sand and he destroies him, he doesn't even need to use the 100 puppets or Hiruko.
Deidara himself said He'd lose to Sasori
Still says deidara is stronger than him
KingHashirama logic
You Make it seem to simple. They're all S class shinobi. The fight will never be that simple. LEt me show you your flaws.
Itachi
I'm sure you're talking about his genjutsu. Itachi doesn't need to use his MS on sasori until sasori starts to pull out the big guns. Itachi is actually highly skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu. We've seen him do jutsu without hand seals. Pull shuriken from sleeve. Do high level hand to hand combat. And has fireball. Itachi is smart enough to know genjutsu won't work so won't waste chakra on that. In the end itachi would win for the mere fact that the sharingan predicts every single move sasori's pupets will make.
Kisame
Sameda could most likely cut the chakra strings. Iron sand won't have much effect in a dome against 1000s of shark bombs. Poisoning the water probably won't work either since kisame can create his own water. Fusing with sameda, kisame would most likely eat sasori. It won't be an easy fight, but i still think kisame wins. Just the mere sameda fusion will start eating out sasori's chakra strings = no puppets.
