Tsuname's strength?

[010577]

Since we know:

oro is about same strength as 3rd (if it takes them 10 ep. to finish a fight, they can't have much of a discrepancy)

itachi is stronger than oro (oro said so)

jiraiya is stronger than itachi (itachi sort of made it clear but it is still technically an assumption, because I am accounting for the fact Itachi might not b in his best condition, just a guess when kisame told him not to use his sharingan too much).

so we have:

(oro, 3rd) ------> itachi --------> jiraiya

since 4th is dead, I was wondering where you guys think Tsunade is on this comparison list

I guess she is most possibly between itachi and jiraiya, or maybe only itachi level. My reasoning is the counsel old man and woman that asked jiraiya to be hokage had to give it a LONG thought before rooting for tsunade, meaning true strength wise, jiraiya should be stronger.

What do you guys think?

jiraiya is not stronger than itachi, its was a translation error and whatnot, itachi is the strongest character introduced so far, period

Do we Know that for sure?

[Assertn]

i'd say we're about to find out

It being a translation error? Pretty much. The group doing the manga and two groups doing the anime don't agree with the sub of "We will definitely die", or whatever.

But that doesn't mean the manga was correct so it is still an assumption.

We havent even seen Jiraiya's full strength yet, neither as Itachis. There is no evidence to back-up any sort of assumption. I'd say Tsunade is the weakest of the three sannins...just a thought

[LostAngel]

I thought Orchi said that Itachi is stronger than him now... meaning that since he has no use of his arms he would be stronger. We will see who is the strongest out of Itachi and Jiriaya in episode 85.. and from the preview it looked like Kisame and Itachi was running away.

And goes for Tsunade I think she is going to be pretty equal with Orchi and Jiriaya. But I think her ninja style might be completely different. Like Orchi, Jiriaya, Hokages, and Itachi are all strong but in different ways.

i think oro is the stronger of the sannins.
think about it, he is young again. while the others are still in their 50s. therefore he probably wins in stamina.

It's

Jiraiya/Tsunade > Itachi > Orochimaru > The 3rd

[Rek]

Oh.. good point... like a self destruct justu or something... not to mention mad summonzors...

But if you've noticed... they all have strong points. Oro wasn't that powerful jutsu wise, but he could create chakra based/controlled weapons like a mo. (the sword, the arm thing, ect.) so he is VERY knowledgeable, but not so much at fighting as he is at discovering different things about chakra and jutsus... even with his arms gone, he is still very usefull and dangerous. if only indirectly.

So, perhaps Tsunade is a master at something else that compliments Oro and Jiraiya. Prolly very good leadership qualities, we know she's responsible... now, judging from all the other girls shown, she's a distance fighter, being as Oro and Ero are usually closer, but they do alot of summoning...

Eh.. its too early to tell. We just know she = teh pwn.

I'm guessing Tsunade will be strong enough to take on S-Class criminals unlike Anko and Kuranai. I'm guessing she's gonna be stronger then Oro and Itachi but weaker then Jiraiya but she'll prob use her womanly ways to get him to do what she want's like Nami and Sanji(One Piece).

um...oro was the most talented of the 3, thats why he was the 3rd's favorite, oro said itachi is stronger than him, so how can tsunade be stronger than itachi? itachi has been the strongest character introduced so far so i doubt she is stronger than him.

They even say Itach is the strongest introduced so far even though the big kahuna Itachi himself says Jiraiya is stronger then him..

How ironic [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Jiraiya > Itachi

Itachi is my fav char for sure though, but im still being realistic.. the only one i think :\

[orn210]

Jiraiya > Itachi

oh oh roflrforlfofrlfroflrf, i guess that's why kisame asked why itachi needed to retreat from jiraiya! lolloololololollloo

[Jessper]

I'm almost posative that oro didn't create that sword when he fought the 3rd but rather stored it in him self.

And personaly I think tsunade will be stronger than Jiriaya. I agree with something someone else said in the thread earlyer, just because oro was the most talented when they were younger doens't mean that he is still the best, with hard work a drop out can surpass a genius, if you get my meaning.

[Evil Eyes]

We really know nothing about Tsunade except that she's a legendary ninja. I don't think she was legendary for nothing. But seeing how the girls are way weaker than the boys in the show, I have a feeling that she won't be the strongest ninja in the show. I think she might be equal to Oro and Jiraiya.

I think the strongest ninjas are like this: 3rd>4th>>>>Itachi>=Oro=Jiraiya=T sunade

[Mut]

i don't believe that any one of the sannin is THAT much stronger than the other. if we had to pick, i'd say orochimaru was the strongest just because they pointed out the fact that the 3rd wanted to choose him as the yondaime.

[010577]

am i allowed to post my own reply as the answer? haha i'll feel so honored

Look Naruto is like any form of entertainment. PEOPLE GET STRONGER AS THEY GET INTRODUCED.

It would just not make sense if the new introduced characters are weaker than the ones already introduced. I don't really remember any action anime having such a situation.


Example:
DBZ: the strength of the bad guys are in order of them being introduced
from the turtle master ----> tenjinhan ----> piccolo ----> vegeta ----> freeza ---->cell ----> the fat guy (can't remember his name... I know in Chinese it is Bo Au). Oh yeah it is Mojimbo I think.
