who is the strongest in akasuki

[sudip karmacharya]

ok dont wanna argue with you , everyone has he`s own opinion , but in orochimaru`s defense i have to say that he didnt had more skilled shinobi to summon beside the 1rst , 2nd and 4th hokage ... u see it`s not that he couldnt summon more ... but from where to pick?and just 1 more think regarding Kabuto he`s not so strong because he did a wired technique, he just had the insight on how to do it from Orochimaru....at the end what do you really need for a technique? just to know how it can be done and some chakra ...and with that said Konohamaru could do that summon after today`s Rasengan )

actually if kabuto wasn't there orochimaru would have died long ago...
kabuto is good as a medic

 

[BondAFK]

Yeah i am not up to arguing.
Orochimaru had some.Sakumo hatake was on sannin levelO.O

yeah but u see in that fight against the 3rd , he needed summons of hokage lvl , i just think sannin is just overrated , u see Jiraya , Tsunade and Orochimaru were declared Legendary ninjas , best ninja from Konoha but still under the Hokage... so sannin whouldnt be enough in Orochimaru`s fight against the 3rd ... as u saw he won just by a thread helped by the previous hokages...in conclusion hokage = better then sannin

agreed with you ... but u see in all teams the medical ninjas are precious but still the weakest from them all ... i.e : Tsunade weaker then Jiraya and Orochimaru ... Sakura weaker then Naruto and Sasuke ... so that is as far as he`s powers go ... healing and a little bit of fighting but not exeptional in order to be the best of Akatsuki.
For best means Strongest in fighting, not in healing.

but kabuto could resist full version-rasengan

Actually,sannin is just a name they got.They are easily kage-rank.:flaw:

but medic + fighting or kabuto + orochimaru = very hard to b defeated

orochi is poison-proof and fighting type and kabuto medic and full of pills and has better chakra control than of orochi

 

[BondAFK]

yeah i agree but still in the village are lots of ninjas that are kage-level and still 1 is chosen for that role ... like in the case of Sarutobi and Danzo ... Danzo could easy be hokage in terms of he`s strenght but sarutobi was a bit more powerfull then him...if u get my point ...Danzo also can be considered kage-level but u can`t say he was stronger then the 3rd ... there always is a small diference like from 9 to 10 ...u got 9.5 in the middle ,higher then 9 but lower then 10

yeah but i doubt kabuto`s fighting skills ... he`s a middle class ninja , if he goes against top ninjas like sasuke , kakashi or even Nagato he doesnt stand a chance

 

[Pin]

itachi, like totally. if he was healthy and all. damn, he'd own. i think he'd own pein, because itachi would figure out pein's secret pretty fast i think.

 

[Orochimaru the Snake]

Nagato summons gedo mazo sucks everyones souls out perso above Nagato is more powerful if sussano comes up he uses chibaku tensei and crushs him

but he cannot be easily defeated if he emerge with orochimaru

Itachi, for a couple of reasons:

1) Kisame, who is said to have the chakara and strength of a bijuu (or host) openly admitted Itachi was the stronger of the 2 ... and Itachi never ever went all out, even in his fight with Sasuke.

2) Itachi had all the legendary ethereal weapons ... yata mirror, and sakenagi sword ... and Sasoono.. which made him invincible or close to it..

3) It's Itachi ... lol

sure Pain had the rinnegan .. but Itachi had the Will of Fire!

as does every one in the leaf village and pain still pwned them

Itachi's 3 best tech's will not help him so he is screwed

tyuskiomi (hello i am tourtuing a corpse for 1 second that can't feel pain and does not effect the other bodys)

ammaratsu (preta path adsorbs it shinra tensei repells it)

sussano (Shinra tensei sends it flying, gedo mazo sends its dragon's right though it, chibaku tensei crushs it)

end of story immpossible for him to win

 

[Miggy69]

itachi hands down

 

[Sora007]

The strongest Akatsuki member was Itachi. I mean he had amaterasu, the best tsukoyomi, and an unbeatable Susano with yata's mirror and totsuka's Sword. I think I have said enough.

 

[Kansas Bred]

Fo definiatley Itachi! Cmon now he is just toooo powerful him at his full power could probably kill madara zetsu kisame sasori dedaria and it would be harder but nagato. And before oro went stupid he was 2nd strongest I mean cmon he is a beast he is at kage level he knows like every jutsu plus a crap load of forbidden tech so cmon plus madara we don't even know about him yet have we ever even seen his "MS" or his "EMS" now wtf. And I think madara even said that itatchi could kill hom if he is even really the reall "Madara" I hope we find that bs out soon!!!

Do not forget that the sharingan can see chakra. Chakra whas transmitted to the bodies hence ... he might have actually been able to trace nagato without getting stabbed.

You obviously underestimate Itachi's intellect. I mean true genius says enough? Master of genjutsu. What makes you even remotly think that Itachi would place himself in a position to let he's soul be eaten by gedo mazo?

 

[~Falcon~]

underestimating itachi is the gravest sin.He assasinate the whole clan(one of the most powerful clan). What a group of 9 will do?

 

[JG2480]

Totally! The point is to stop looking at available jutsu only. Why did Shikimaru win? Cause of uber jutsu?

Amaterasu or tsukuyomi or even susano is not Itachi's greatest strength. It's he's intellect. He's rarely surprised, and when he is he acts accordingly.

And be a pain fanatic as much as you want. Nagato never left an intellectual impression on me. Especially if mere words can control you that easy.

Any thoughts on this?
