Hey I just noticed that pps seem to think that guys like Sasori, Deidara or Kisame aren't top tier, which I don't understand.

First and foremost Sasori, is in my opinion one of the strongest Shinobi in the World. He ignores Genjustsu, and can switch bodies with 100 marionettes. Furthermore his poison and his black sand(forgot the name) are almsot impossible to counter. You have to admit, that he was fought by, maybe the only team That counters him(u can switch sakura with Tsunade tho). They had antidotes, and his grannie knew allot about his weaknesses and strenghts. Additionaly, his death is very strange, as he seems to suicide, jumpin into the trap.

Kisame, was aswell fought by one of the very few ppl whose taijustsu were strong enough to defeat him. If someone else(except from Guy and maybe Raikages) would've fought him, his sword would've sucked em dry, and he'd be able to absorb the attacks. Combined with his huge chakra he is bearly beatable. I would bet he even stays a chance against madara.

Deidara, was also struck by his weakness by visual justsu. Sasuke could decifer his seals and counter with lighting. Aswell as see through his Mini bombs, and hitting himself. Almost, anyone who couldn't use both lighting and visual justu, would've died right there.

The problem with Akatsuki was, that all of their members were countered. As someone mentioned before, Naruto is always about lineup. I just wanted to mention this, because I consider Every member of Akatsuki in at least the top 30 in the Narutoverse(tho idk about Zestu).

Yeah man that is all pretty much true lol! Kisame vs Madara is a little bold though, but if his giant shark attack works like he said it does than it really doesn't have any counters except a earth tech of the same level XD! Litteraly every member of Akatsuki was beat by a bad match up! Hidan was a little bit on the slow side of thinking, but even he had skill!

Idk, only Edo madara, tobi, naruto and sasuke are currently over Akatsuki lvl in my Opinion.
As sai everything is about lineup I I think they still can mess with the best

yeah, i think you are right, because almost all have been countered some people have the impression akatsuki were fodder which is ridiculous given that even with all the new shinobi that have appeared they are still amongst the strongest. i don't believe that many new have surpassed them, it's more like many with similar power levels have appeared.

Very true. Kakuzu gets severely underrated sometimes also. He was crazy strong and got killed by plot.

If this thread was posted back when the Akatsuki were kicking ass and all, i would've disagreed.
but considering Naruto and countless others have gotten way stronger than they used to be then yeah, they should be around the top 30 in the narutoverse

Well, all of them have so many counters and all of the top tier shinobis would destroy them. They are strong, but now shinobis are just.. massively strong. So that´s why they are outside of the scope of most people.

And top 30.. why not. I agree, but since we do know about like 50 nins closely (not just names), it is not that great.

I think hidan was the weakest akatsuki. Kisame was the tailless tailed beast. Thats awesome

Kisame was strong, no doubt, but he got beat twice. And I wanna say many top-tier ninja could beat him also.

Deidara would always runout of clay when he needed it. You'd think he'd pack more.

Sasori was good, but if Sakura could best him even with the help of Chiyo, Naruto and a handful of others could beat him.

And Kakuzu's a monster. He sustained his life ever since his fight with Hashi. Even Madara couldn't do that. XD

Dont underrate sasori..the only reason he died was because 1. Sakura had prep time before the fight 2. Chyio was a master puppeter she knew sasori's fighting style 3. He only used 1 human puppet and it wasn't stated that it was his strongest just his favorite and 4. Sasori suicided in the end U_U
