Lol agreed.

I'd say Ohnoki is the strongest of the 5 Kage, comfortably. Perfect Jinjuriki Bee is debatable, I'm not sure. Nagato humilated Bee and Naruto at the same time, so we know he isn't that high up, but then again, do you reckon Pain could defeat Bee? And this is a fight where Bee isn't being backed up by the hidden leaf, and one where Pain is trying to kill, not capture.

Yeah Ohnoki could create a plan to eliminate the other paths, but its easier said than done, Preta path would just stand in front of the others. A way Pain could kill Ohnoki is Deva path using bansho tenin behind preta path to pull Ohnoki. Ohnoki couldn't use dust release because preta is blocking the way, and preta could stab ohnoki with a chakra rod to make him struggle to control his chakra.

I think besides Pain, Obito and Itachi, the other Akatsuki members are significantly weaker (although Konan basically killed Obito if it wasn't for Izanagi but oh well lol). I'd say the next strongest right after Itachi would be either Kakuzu or Sasori, but not too sure.
