I think LvL2 is probably overrated, just more cheap trickery by Orochimaru to try to manipulate idiots like Sasuke. Neji took out Kidoumaru, and Neji is nothing compared to Gaara.
What exactly is cool about Kimimaro? He has no expression or presence, he's basically a zombie/porcupine. Gaara's destructive powers should be far too much for Kimimaro to compete with. Only the next few chapters will tell us for sure, however. Will be fun to see.
kidoumaru & jiroubu sucked. sasuke is is gonna be fucking insane when he fights in lvl 2 (am i the only one who sees this?). first sasuke was stronger than naruto, then naruto was, now it's sasuke's turn. sasuke was already superior than most genins to begin with, now he has lvl 2. he's gonna ruin everyone's shit. and i think a lot of people underestimate how neji really is.Originally posted by: MemnochTheCaT

why does it matter what i think is cool about kimimaro? it's just my personal preference... explanation for this isn't necessary.
and everyone goes off on about how gaara is gonna own kimimaro. i'm pretty sure kimimaro will eventually lose, but i don't think he will flat out get owned. a lot of people thought that lee was gonna beat major ass when he showed up because of his taijutsu and speed, but look at what happened to him. he got bitched like a little girl and had to be saved. i don't think kishimoto would pair up two people when they don't match up at all. i'm sure kishimoto will make sure that kimimaro and gaara match up very well.
EDIT: i realize that someone will think that there is a contradiction in my thoughts, mainly cuz of what i said about how kishimoto will not pair up two if they don't match up well contradicts rock lee getting beat so easily. well, rock lee had to be beaten easily for gaara to save him. that's my reason for the 'contradiction' someone might notice.
I do agree that Sasuke @ LvL2 will be above Naruto's current level, but that's still extremely weak compared to the likes of Oro/Itachi/Jiraiya. I don't think that Sasuke will be well-rewarded for choosing the path he is now on, the theme of the series is just too obverse to the concept. I believe the curse seal is more of a manipulation device used by Oro than anything very useful. They seem to give temporary added abilities at the cost of increased chakra usage, and the user gets none of the experience or knowledge that one would have gained by reaching those levels naturally. Not to mention that mutation seems to be a side effect.
