@Halcyonite

The last person listed weren't a "listed list", I just put some people to argue the 6-7-8 positioning like I said before; but yes Onoki is stronger than them

About your plan, Onoki has 3D movements, deva's ability seems to work like a gravitational force, so in case of bansho tenin (that if casted behind preta should attract him unless he nullifies it and it become useless) Onoki can just speed up his fly velocity in a direction perpendicular to the one he is being pulled and he will have zero resistance and will also end up being pulled in the back of the deva path to kill him

I think everyone in the akatsuki is very strong, they all have very specific powers that lets them win easly aganist the most generic type of ninjas

If you want a top I'd say:

Tobi - Pain - Itachi - Kisame - Kakuzu - Orocimaru - Sasori - Deidara - Konan - White Zetsu - Hidan - Black Zetsu
