A True Sage wrote: I think it works like this: if the Akatsuki appear and the Konoha 11 know nothing of their powers or are surprised by their sudden attack, Akatsuki may likely win. But if the Konoha 11 have time to formulate even a small plan, and understand who their opponents are and what they can do, then I give it to the Konoha 11. Hence my comment on what stuff the K11 know. Half of Akatsuki consists of members with some secret to their jutsu that grants them great power (and is quite useless without). kakuzu's five hearts, Hidan's immortality (which, by the way, is going to be an absolute pain in a teamfight), but also things like the Six Paths of pain. If K11 has even a smidge of information on this, the fight gets a lot easier. But if this is a fresh encounter, K11 is going to get their asses kicked.
