<p>I'd want the Byakugan, without question. I have an unpopular opinion with the Byakugan in that I think it's more powerful than the Sharingan. Keep in mind I'm only talking about the regular Sharingan, the Mangekyo is a whole different topic on its own. I think the Hyuga are slept on quite frankly - they're a lot more dangerous than they're given credit for. </p><p>Let's think about this for a second, the Byakugan can locate an enemy and their attacks from almost any location the moment it's launched. It's mostly impossible to catch them off guard. They typically have excellent chakra control simply due to the nature of their training, and going up against them in close range taijutsu is suicide. Additionally they can cut through chakra based substances with enough force. All of them. That means...the Susanoo, or the Fourth Raikage's lightning armor. Possibly even the truth seeking orbs. </p><p>On top of that they're capable of seeing through most genjutsu and can shut down someone else's chakra, meaning ninjutsu doesn't work on a Hyuga if you get too close. In other words, they almost corner you into using taijutsu against them, which as I said is basically suicide since if they strike at your heart, the fight's over. The Hyuga essentially use the same technique as medical ninjutsu, using surgical precision to strike inside someone's body, but the Hyuga instead aim for the chakra points, shutting down someone's chakra, so that's two birds with one stone. </p><p>I'm probably wanking them pretty hard but all I've said is potentially true in a Hyuga that's sufficiently powerful and trained in their Byakugan and Gentle Fist use. The Hyuga definitely seem underwhelming at first glance, I won't deny that, but I'd by lying if I said they weren't incredibly dangerous to pick a fight with. </p>

<p>Just as a reminder to everyone, if I didn't pick a certain character, then it's because I don't know enough about that character to put them on this list, and I will not take the wiki page on that character as definitive proof. I would prefer to see it in action in the anime, and I only watch the dub, because I can't understand Japanese and the latter's voice actors have zero talent in any show ever. </p>

<p>@MlGshinobi, </p><p>See, and that's why I don't think it would be a guaranteed win for Jiraiya. At the same time, however, he also didn't know Pain's secret, so he was going in "blind" for the confrontation against the Animal Path, and didn't know how to properly defeat all six of them until it was too late. </p><p>@Curse of Hatred </p><p>Very good point, and yet, Jiraiya would still have to deal with the pursuit of the Six Paths of Pain before he could really confront Nagato, and no matter who you are, the Six Paths all together aren't exactly pushovers and should not be taken lightly for any shinobi. </p>

<p>It wouldn't be a guarantee due to a variety of possible risks, scenarios, etc...But Jiraiya would nonetheless have a very real chance of defeating the Six Paths of Pain. </p>

<p>Sasuke didn't kill Deidara, he blew himself up </p> </div> <p>I meant it in more of a technical aspect. If Deidara hadn't blown himself up with his jutsu, it's likely that Sasuke would've killed him regardless. I imagine the same could've also been said for Itachi had the latter not been stricken with terminal illness, simply because his Susanoo would've deactivated due to his Mangekyo progressing fully towards blindness. It's plausible that Sasuke could've then defeated him in a Taijutsu fight, the former I feel as though having a stronger grasp on the art due to his copying of Rock Lee's Taijutsu, the latter of which is recognized as a master in the art across the Shinobi world. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>Uchiahmasters wrote: Madara's definitely up there, more intelligent than any other Uchiha or Senju, more than Minato, more than Itachi and definitely more so than comparatively unimpressive Sasuke. I of course am referring to battlefield intelligence which I feel Madara has the most of. </p> </i></div>
<p>I primarily chose Sasuke because he's very perceptive in battle, and this was proven during his battle against Danzo Shimura, whom himself could also be considered a fairly intelligent character. This was also proven in his battle against Deidara, who was killed by the Uchiha single-handedly as well as severely weakening Itachi Uchiha in battle to the point where the latter's terminal illness killed him. The feat of killing an Akatsuki member one-on-one is something that few others have managed, such as Might Guy and Shikimaru against Kisame and Hidan respectively. </p>

<p>Oh my God, I feel so stupid for forgetting about Shikimaru! Tell you what, I'm editing the post and adding him to the list of noteworthy people. Hell, I'll even add Shikaku, too! </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>TheOneWhoLovesNaruto wrote: I have got to say eight gates! I love the raw power and speed, but the reason that it is my favorite is because it takes hard work to achieve and sacrifice. You gamble everything and work as hard as you can to use it. </p> </i></div>
<p>And that's exactly what I like about the Eight Gates. I simply don't think it's fair that a gifted individual, Itachi Uchiha or Nagato, for example, were given such incredible powers at birth. Yet, Guy had to work tirelessly, day and night, using his own blood, sweat, and tears to get where he is now. I think such powerful jutsu should only ever be acquired through hard and relentless work, regardless of the situation, individual, jutsu itself, or any other factor, and such a powerful jutsu in the first place should always have a serious drawback. </p>

<p>It's one reason why I chose the Eight Gates. While you do gain immense power from this technique, this power is only temporary, and comes at a terrible price, as opposed to other powerful jutsu which are just illogical and overpowered. </p>

<p>I would suspect that, even if an Uchiha were to use Susanoo against a Rinnegan user, the latter could likely activate Shinra Tensei to repel the attack. However, should a Mangekyo Sharingan user be able to successfully hit the Rinnegan user with an attack prior to the recharge timer for Shinra Tensei expiring, they could potentially defeat them, similar to how Naruto managed to defeat the Deva Path during this minimum time interval of five seconds. </p>

<p>Kisame having greater chakra reserves than Naruto is actually stated on the former's wiki page found on this website, under the section named 'Chakra and Physical Prowess." As for Naruto having approximately four times the chakra of Kakashi, it is blatantly stated by the latter during Naruto's training with his Wind chakra and the creation of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. If it isn't mentioned in the Japanese voice-over, then check the English dubbed voice-over, because it is stated in the latter. </p>

<p>It's also interesting to note that Kisame's chakra reserves were greater than even Naruto without Kurama's help. To give you an idea, Kisame and Samehada combined possessed approximately three times that of Naruto, and the latter has approximately four times the chakra that Kakashi has. </p>

<p>@Rachin </p><p>Please read my post again and take note that I said dojutsu, which are visual and revolve around the eyes. I was talking about how the Rinnegan is immune to visual genjutsu, while Jiraiya's genjutsu used in their fight against the Six Paths was auditory, through the use of sound. The Rinnegan does not offer any protection against auditory genjutsu. As such, Pain was caught in it. </p>

<p>Let's be realistic for a moment here. Itachi's fighting style tends to revolve around the use of dojutsu and genjutsu. As we know, the Rinnegan is indeed immune to dojutsu, leaving all of Itachi's visual genjutsu ineffective to him, including Tsukuyomi. As for Amaterasu, it's been shown in the anime that Shinra Tensei can repel Amaterasu's flames. This defeats two of Itachi's strongest weapons. While Itachi could certainly rely on his Susanoo, it would put a severe strain on Itachi due to his naturally low chakra reserves, and the fact that continued use of Susanoo would be sure to blind Itachi, much like it did to Sasuke's original eyes whilst fighting Danzo. This would certainly lead to Itachi having to eventually dismiss his Susanoo and abandon the fight prematurely, as opposed to Nagato, who was an Uzumaki, and possessed arguably the largest chakra reserve of any character without the assistance of tailed beasts like Kurama, spirits like the Sage of Six Paths, or allies of any kind donating chakra to him. </p>
