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.

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.

[chambers]

look stop stating as FACT that itachi is the strongest character to be introduced so far, jira could have developed a HELL of a lot scince he was teamed up with those two. itachis is certainly ONE of the strongest maybe he is the strongest, we will see next ep when he fights jira, that fight will put a lot of things into perspective, if jira wins and hands him his ass than we can safley assume that jira is also stronger than oro, or that as i said in anothe rtopic a while back oro was scared of fighting itachi for a reason other than "OMG HE WILL OWN ME!!!!".

alsl you could say that strength relates to a lot of things, itachi said he was testing himself now that would normally be linked to a test of strength. however some people have accepted that it MAY be a test of how sadistic he is. maybe the strength oro was talking about was one other than knwoing how to beat him in a fight.

most talented... at least during the beggining... but like Kakashi didn't always have the sharingan, and Ero-Sennin didn't have mad frog summoning, Tsunade may have some skill/weapon/ice cream soda that makes her stronger than Oro...

But I seriously doubt she's stronger than Oro. SERIOUSLY doubt it.

[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

[Nine Tailed Demon]

^you watch the anime, Itachi is stronger that Oro but Jiraiya is stronger than Oro also.

Jiraiya/Tsunade > Itachi > Oro

[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.

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.

[Stoopider]

Thats not true.

Freeza---> Freeza's Dad. (Beefcake).

And naruto Doesn't necessarily follow that laws. It's more complex than that.

DBZ is old school, where someone fights and becomes the strongest in the world, then some stronger one comes, then another comes, another one comes. Etc. And DBZ, it's all about Goku fighting tougher opponents.

Although I admit that the Naruto is influenced alot by Akira Toriyama, but who isn't... he's a legend in his time.

There's alot of anime that the hero is the ultimate hero and everyone he fights doesn't have to be getting tougher. Like Berserk. It's a stereotypical view about anime's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


Naruto did fought lots of supertough guys at the beginning at the anime. Haku for example. He'll probably whip up all the baddies from then on except Gaara.

that is not even remotely true....i was just thinkin about it the other day about how the interesting thing about naruto is how the strength of the major villians of each saga doesnt have to increase linearly, since it all depends on which of the good guys that saga focuses on....

since kakashi was with naruto in the first saga, the main villians were 2 mist jounins......
since the second saga focuses on the hokages and the genins, the main villians were a sanin and a genin

i cant really elaborate more on this since you guys are about a saga and a half behind the manga, but trust me......they dont keep things linear like that, and yet each battle still manages to be just as suspenseful as the ones before them

[chambers]

yeah i think kabuza was mor epowerfull than all the gennins (duh) and i thin kthat if any of them came up against haku in the test on there own they would have been seriously murdered, with the exception of rock and his amazing speed, garra, and the final exam sasuke with his speed. also we have already been introduced to the oro who i believe will eb the main bad guy of the series.

I personally think Oro will become more of a joke. He cant be killed easally but he dosnt get much stronger at all. he will pop up every now and then trying to get his way but will be Whipped.

[chambers]

you reckon? team rOROcket?

[Mongoose]

Heh, measuring Tsunade's "strength" compared to everyone else's is really dependent on how literally you define strength... But IMO I don't think Orochimaru / Jiraiya / Itachi / Tsunade could really kill each other without the others suffering some major damage, so it's not much of a power difference. The most powerful would probably be the 3rd in his prime. I mean, c'mon, he can still beat the spirits of the 1st and 2nd and compete with Orochimaru at 80 years old. Just imagine what he could do when he was 40 years younger.

[Aeon]

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.

You don't have to be the most talented to be considered the favorite, that's proven with Gai and Lee considering Neji is the most talented member of that team,but if Gai was Hokage no doubt in my mind that he would choose Lee to be his successor.

[Assertn]

ive mentioned this before somewhere......but do you honestly think the 3rd would be the kinda person who would consider the heir to the hokage name for reasons other than talent and skill?.....the reason why he picked oro as his favorite was BECAUSE of his talent

[010577]

i see where all of u are coming with the nonlineararity

i hope to c that in action and still make the anime more exciting.

[IamSpazzy]

I think that there are more important criteria for picking the next hokage besides talent and skill.

I think the Hokage said that Orochimaru was the perfect mix of talent, skill, and ambition. And I think the fact that Jiraiya became one of the 3 legendary ninja's despite the fact that he was such a crappy student speaks volumes about his own potential in terms of talent and skill.

I don't think jiraiya would have ever been considered for the role of the leader of a village no matter how powerful he is because he's not much for ambition. all he really wants to do is work on his peeping jitsus and write dirty novels.

So, the 2 other sanins could have been just as/if not more powerful than Orochimaru, but lacked in other citeria that would make them a suitable leader.

[Mut]

i think we should be asking this: why the hell doesn't the thread maker fix the damn title now that he knows how to spell her name?

Um, you're a bit behind the times. Jiraiya WAS considered for the role of Hokage, and was selected. He just refused.

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.

Except for the turtle master and tenshinhan, all of those were villians when first introduced. Tsunade doesn't
seem like she's being set up to be the next villian.
