Also, It wasn't just a few ninja and two bit trash that fought Konoha. It was two villages. There was way more than just a few sound lackeys. In addition to that, there was massive before hand preparation that Konoha was (stupidly) oblivious to. Yet they they still managed to survive.
It was trash of 2 villages. The only players of note were Orochimaru, Kabuto, Gaara, Baki, and the sound 4 (who were busy being shields). Imagine if all 9 Akatsuki had shown up. Hello destuction.

Orochimaru says that he left the Akatsuki because their goals differed from his... and if his goals were to destroy Konoha then he woulda stayed with them

f the Sannin are comparable in power, and Kabuto can take one of them (he can take tsunade, I don't doubt that for a second), and kakashi is approximately as strong as Kabuto, I'd say kakashi is about strong enough to be an akatsuki member. If Gai's rivalry with kakashi and his recent exploits mean anything, I'd say he's about strong enough to be one as well.
Kabuto cannot take out Tsunada... Tsuanda has more tricks up her sleeve then he does. I didnt see him summon any giant slugs. I didnt see him use any super strength. If Tsunada = Orochimaru and Kabuto is his lacky... I highly doubt he can take Tsunada. (unless hes really the 10th Akatsuki like some people think)

Lets not forget about the entire mini-village of the Hyuuga and the sheer size of Konoha (probably with ninja ranging in strengh from near kakashi level to kurenai level).
I thought about them... but its foolish to think that they are top dogs in the Ninja world. The fact that they were #2 in Konoha to the Uchiha should proove that right away.


I think the Akatsuki could wreck some $%!^ is all.
