For fucks sake, Kakuzu one of the higher level Akatsuki was defeated offscreen like some unimportant fodder, Sasori and Deidara were taken out by Kankuro and fucking Sai. sorry but Deidara and Sasori are easily kage level shinobi and wouldn't lose to such weak ass characters. I admit, I have a tendency to downgrade Deidara. But the fact is that Sasuke defeated Deidara chiefly because of his Raiton techniques, not because Sasuke was stronger or more skilled than Deidara at that point in the story. And even then, he had to resort to Cursed Seal Level 2, and still was a hair's width close to being vapourised by Deidara's final attack. Yet somehow, fucking Kankuro and Sai handle Deidara and Sasori!! It's ridiculous to the extreme.
