One thing I have noticed is how grossly overpowered the leaf villiage is. I mean come on, its seems like everyone in this villiage ownz. How is it that kids can bitch slap the four elite sound ninjas? Does not make any sense. I mean the 2nd level curse seal status allows them to slap around a lot of people but they lose to not even chunnin ranked ninjas? what is up with that?
the only reason why the leaf looks overpowered is cuz that's the main characters' home village. if naruto's village was the mist, then mist would seem super powerful cuz a lot of nins from that village will become significant parts of the storyline, therefor, a lot of the village's nins' powers will be revealed. but for the other villages, who cares. strong nins from other villages will only be introduced when necessary. there is no point in absolutely making sure that all the villages balance out the countries' powers. it has already been said that the powers are equally balanced.
nicely put dazzz
also some of the people they focus on are genius's. And another thing, kiba ran away, and chouji and neji are dead/severely injured.
The Leaf isn't neccesarily overpowered, it is just that the Sound and Sand Village suck.
5 Gennin from Konoha are holding their own with the Special Forces from Sound as we speak, and in two cases ultimately winning the fights.
The Sand Village was a fairly strong village, because they had quality over quanity, but all the ones shown during the invasion of Konoha still sucked.
The Sound is just terrible, the Leaf Jounin who were outnumbered at least 6 to 1 in most cases whooped their asses in the arena. On top of that the Konoha civilians trounced the rest of the invading Sound and Sand.
Don't worry though because their are stronger villages like Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Cloud Village, and Hidden Stone Village, at least I hope they are stronger. At least Mist seems kind of strong since Zabuza and Kisame are there and they aren't too shabby, especially Kisame, Zabuza was just weak since he was the first main villain. Even so he still managed to capture Kakashi once.
The Cloud Village is kind of shady too, Hiashi beat the shit out of that Jounin pretty easily in the flashback, but then again he is the strongest Hyuga.
The Stone Village should be interesting to see, I think that is where Kabuto comes from..since Kabuto is a prehistoric bug of some kind. If you played Pokemon it was a Rock/Water type, so I think his name is in reference that he is from the Stone Village. I am still not sure if he is an advanced bloodline person or if he has a bad case of pink eye while in the forest of death.
i wonder.....
are the members of akatsuki classified as missing nin's? cause what i don't get iss....
you'd think if people like zabuza were missing nins then why would he still where is forhead protecter? i mean if he is being hunted why not hide his identity?
i just don't get it, itachi and shark guy as well, they don't seem to be loyal to any country yet they still where the headband? you'd think that they would have come up with their own little type of symbol for akatsuki. why where it if your not loyal to that village?
on another note, i think most countries are balanced with a few exceptional nin's in each country, but when i think about it didn't oro kill the kage of of sand? (kazegage), it doesn't make me think too highly of sand to tell you the truth, but we haven't seen much of all the countries true powers.
now that i think about it...... maybe leaf is alot stronger, considering instead of oro just deceaving sand to attack konoha he got not one but two countries to invade konoha. maybe leaf overall IS a little overpoweredbut it doesn't bother me too much, like dazzz said its the main characters home village.
Akatsuki wears their home countries headbands, but with the symbol scratched out through the middle. That is there way of saying where they are originally from. Their rings with the symbol for Wind on them is what signifies them as members of Akatsuki.
Also Orchimaru has killed two Kages so far, if it wasn't for him and Kabuto their country would be the weakest I think. They are above Sand though which I hold in lowest regards in terms of power.
So, what's wrong with being overpowered? It's not messing up the storyline. They are bitch slapping the sound-nins because they are geniuses. We can't assume ALL kids can do it.
Where's the mist and earth ninjas, they're hiding?
the sound 4 is probably at chuunin in normal state but in 2level cursed seal they're jounin's, naruto, sasuke, neji are at chuunin level in strenge and could probably fight a draw against one of those "unknown" leaf jounins if they're in their best state (naruto, kyubi, sasuke chidori and fast tai-jutsu, neji with 64 hit combo etc).
I thought the hidden leaf village was deliberatly made the strongest by Kishimoto. Its one of the primary reasons the Sand decided to join the sound in the invasion.
The problem with being the strongest is that it makes you a target. I'm sure there are stronger Nins from other villages (and organizations) but the country with the strongest overall military power is that of the country of fire.
i hate this new forum styles, it actually banned my account.
you all made some good points, i think there are some errors made, first, zazuba was not a pussy, he was the devil of the hidden mist, he was called that cuz he killed like a 100 chinuns when he was 6. The guy was a killing machine. So know that Zazuba was one of the more powerful of the Mist he was trounced. Next coji is not a genius, he is a fat fuck, he eats, if he survives anything it is because of his fat reserves.
But all things considered, when you are the biggest bad-asses on the block it is hard to create good tension. Its a lot like bombing Iraq. we bombed the living hell out of without fear of retaliation. Wooo that would make a grat magna. By having over-powered heroes and for that matter villians the story telling moves from compelling to the rediculous.
i don't like the forums much either but its new and they haven't done anything to it yet (or much to it) it'll be easier to use soon
on another note, konoha was pretty badly beatin up after the invasion, right now they are weak, but of course kishimoto couldn't make it so konoha was a pussy village and overtaken that easily, but the fact that some of the genin died/crap kicked out of makes the story a little bit more believable for me.
and i agree zabuza was a complete badass, it was almost a shame to see him die [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] if you ask me no other villans have so far fit the role of "complete badass", i mean... oro, itachi, etc. etc. are strong as hell but they didn't stick a kunai in their mouth and slaughter a bunch of people without their arms!
also zabuza fell in love with a boy. complete badass
konoha is the strongest country in the shinobi world, can you imagine Oro,Jiraryia, Tsunade,Itachi was still there not to mention kabuto.
I thought it was a disgrace how oro killed kazekage like nothin, kishmoto shouldve illustrated that fight,or somethin that explains how he died afterall it was one of kage.

konoha is kinda overpowered. but more power to em. This is probably why sand and sound wanted a part of the action. (I.E. the war)
it's better to just edit your post rather than posting again 7 minutes later. also, konoha only has tsunade and jiraiya, not itachi and orochimaru. btw, there is no point of showing how the kazekage died. it's not necessary.
techically only tsunade, i was talking in hypothetical sense cuz i do believe they were one time shinobi for konoha . but correct me if im wrong
yes there is no point to the story that he had to kill kazekage either . its fun talking to obvious ppl.
are you saying that there is no point in orochimaru killing the kazekage? if so, respond to this and check back on this post later tonight if you wanna get shut down.Originally posted by: Hokage-IVbut correct me if im wrong yes there is no point to the story that he had to kill kazekage either . its fun talking to obvious ppl.
lol too funny, kazekage dieing was one of the key points in oro organizing the attack against konoha, try re-reading those parts in the manga
