Why is Sunagakure so weak?

[Kusanagi35]

When Suna was first introduced during the chunin exam they really looked powerful. No one thought Gaara could be defeated and he soloed the chunin exam without breaking a sweat. So why is Suna so weak now?

Keep in mind that the 4th Kazekage got owned by Oro without even giving a fight.
The 3rd Kazekage got fodderized by Sasori.
Then, during the konoha invasion in part 1, we've seen some suna ninjas getting fodderized by Konoha's
At the very beginning of Shippuden, we learned that Gaara became the 5th Kazekage.... then Deidara made him his bitch during their fight. I mean, Gaara was in a desert and still lost to one of the weakest akatsuki member.
Besides, Gaara is only 15, why would he be Kazekage at this age, he's indeed strong but he lacks battle experience.
Not to mention Shuaku is the weakest Bijuu, even Hashirama didn't like Suna, why would he give the weakest Bijuu to the weakest village?

To end this, Sunagakure doesn't really have any strong clan or whatsoever. So I definitely think it's one of the weakest village out of the 5 major ones

They were never really strong. All they had was Gaara and Oro who was only using them.

 

[-Raviel-]

they're not weak...let's see there's gaara and ...................ok they're weak

 

[Erzo]

Gaara had to protect his whole village when fight Deidara.. so just because he was in the desert doesn't mean he had full advantage.
In fact, he used up all his chakra to prevent the giant C3 bomb from hitting his village, didn't he?

Yes Deidara used his opponent weakness, I don't see anything wrong about that, it's a fight, everything is allowed.

Are you talking about the Rp or the village in the manga? BURN!

 

[Bogard]

Jiraya stated he could defeat Suna on his own :|

RP? You mean role playing? I don't do role playing on this site

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

Yeah....all they really have is Gaara.

And against Deidara he had to focus on protecting the village....so It wasn't a 100% fair fight.

They pretty much introduced them as a strong group, but they are nothing to the concept of the Will of Fire...

Also, Kazekage looked ambushed....He was even wearing his entire cloak garb so it doesn't seem like he put up a fight.

 

[Fecal Matter]

It is by far the weakest village right after the hidden mist.

Seriously?

 

[yuan of cruxis]

Orochimaru sneaked attacked the 4th Kazekage with the sword of kusanagi, and Gaara couldve won if he didnt care about the village

 

[Parrish]

When your Kage is 15 you know your weak as hell.

 

[Elio]

Didn't Oro assassinate the kazekage?

And Deidara is by no means weak. :|

 

[ThomasJeffersonwasasadist]

sad but true. kishi didn't put much effort into creating strong ninja for suna. deidara one of the weakest?? only a few members can counter garuda and they'd have to see it first which only itachi or obito are capable of

[Kusanagi35]

Seriously?

Deidara only lost an arm that Kakuuzu reattached later. Deidara still had a lot of chakra after the fight. Gaara was just KO'd and half dead.

Lol please...

Itachi,Kisame,Kakuzu,Sasori,Pain,Obito are all stronger than him.

 

[blackstar9]

Suna is weak

 

[yuan of cruxis]

And your forgetting Suna has one of the most feared ninjas who've attended in the 3rd great ninja war(Sasori)
And Chiyo, whose practically like the women Hiruzen
Temari and Kankuro now seems to be powerful too
