Kitsuchi can beat Kurotsuchi handedly. He contributed so much in the 4th War and yet just disappeared in Boruto. Like I said, currently there is no one stronger than Chojuro in Kiri because and only because he has the Hiramekarei. Anyone could be as strong as him if they had used the sword for as long as he has. Look at all previous Kage, they have a signature ability that they manifested (be it a kekkei genkai or just creating new jutsu). This is also why Kurotsuchi isn’t special to me either. A Kage should have an ability that differentiates them from other people in their village. Look at Darui, he is the only person in Kumo who can use Storm Release and Black Lightning, Gaara is the only one who can manipulate sand without magnet release, Naruto is a Jinchuriki and has invented many jutsu variants. While Chojuro just has a sword and Kurotsuchi has Lava Release. Tsunade isn’t a similar case because the byakugou has only manifested in two people ever. Hiramekarei has had previous weilders, why weren’t they Kage? There have been plenty of Shinobi who know Lava Release, why weren’t they Kage? I would have no problem with them if Kurotsuchi knew Dust Release (something every Tsuchikage seems to know except her) or if Chojuro displayed some powerful water jutsu or a kekkei genkai like Mei. Mei is an exception cause she has two kekkei genkai, not just one.

While the fact that she is the best in Genjutsu out of the the current 5 Kage may sound good on the surface, it means nothing once you realise that not a single one of them has ever used Genjutsu or are even hinted at being talented with it. She’s never been ‘exceptional’ at it, seeing as she never used it lol. That’s like saying if Might Guy won in a ninjutsu bout against Rock Lee, he’s suddenly exceptional at at Ninjutsu.

Also can we get back on topic pls, I would like to know who you think would @Squinty.
