As the title says, do you really think he was good enough to be an Akatsuki member?

Personally I don't think he was. When he was requested to capture and bring back the 8 tails, if it wasn't for the 3 team mates he was with he would have without a doubt died. Suigetsu prevented him being chopped up by putting the executioners blade right in front of the blades path. Karin and Jugo also played a large part in keeping him safe.

Not only did he and his team mates nearly get annihilated, they failed the mission to capture Bee. Was Bee really that much stronger than all of the other Jinchuriki or was Sasuke just not fit for the position?

Another point of view is that Sasuke killed Deidara, who alone, captured the one tails (Gaara) who was an incredibly strong enemy.

What are your thoughts?

No he wasn't . Tobi was hoping to bring out his potential.

Akatsuki's are supposed to hold their own and work in pairs not in 4 member teams.

I think he At that time was barely good enough to be apart of akatsuki... The only reason he beat deidara was because he was a perfect counter for deidara's ninjutsu with his lightning style.

He already defeated an Akatsuki member by himself.

I just think sasukes power compliments certain foes. Bee was immune to genjutsu so it made it tougher on sasuke whereas deidra could have taken bee but is suseptable to genjutsu so he wasn't a good match

He didn't beat itachi... Itachi was letting him win and needed to get rid of orochimaru......

Unlike other Jin, Bee could use 8 Tails Chakra at will without any negative side effects.

Bee would have been a handful for a lot of people and was a perfect jin with the second strongest beast.

Ur an idiot OP sasuke was injured from both the deidera and itachi fights, he also lost his CM and was a noob MS user. Bee was sasuke's perfect match and countered everything, sasuke was at his weakest then. Kage summit MS Sasuke stomps bee

Sasuke would shit on Hidan,
Could put up a good fight against Kakuzu,
Pushed Itachi pretty far, and
Killed Deidara.

What more do you need?

When he got his MS Sasuke seemed to loose his intellect... Lol So when he joined I don't think he was worthy, but Hebi Sasuke was. If that makes sense? EMS Sasuke seemed to regain his intellect.

The only reason he defeated Deidara was his jutsus weakness against raiton (which Gaara didn't had)

Ms Sasuke is strong enough to beat every akatsuki member including obito and nagato.
