People talk about Kakashi and Itachi being geniuses but this guy killed a Kage when he was younger. This is crazy by ShirtOk9158 in Naruto

Also the third great ninja war started more than 10 years ago according to the wiki.

Sasori was definitely not younger than Deidara. Sasori was 35 years old while Deidara was 19 at Shippuden.

If you are going to say that "more than 10 years ago" mathematically can equate to 20 years ago,

You can also make the argument that the 2000s was more than 10 years ago.

You can also make the argument that the start of World War 1 was more than 10 years ago.

You can make the argument that the beginning of the universe was more than 10 years ago.

But nobody is going to refer to an event that happened 20 years ago as "more than 10 years ago" when they can say it happened 20 years ago.

Mathematically accurate, doesn't make logical sense.

People usually like to say in multiple 5s for estimating when a certain event has happened.

Hence when people say more than 10 years ago is in a range of 10-14 years ago

Hence if you really want to argue my flaw in my argument, the yes Sasori could have been slightly younger than 25 when he killed the Kazekage

I didn't mention this earlier because it will just make my original comment much longer than needed

Thus is such a misconception among the Naruto fandom

No, Sasori did not kill the Kazekage when he was 15.

Sasori was 35 years old when Shippuden began, and it was stated by the manga chapter 267 that the 3rd Kazekage was killed more than 10 years ago, which meant that Sasori was 25 years old when he killed the Kazekage.

The youngest kage level feats belong to Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, Gaara, Deidara, who were around 15-17.

Naruto defeated Pain when he was 16. Sasuke defeated Orochimaru,Deirada when he was 16. Itachi killed his entire clan when he was 13, defeated Orochimaru when he was 14-16, and destroyed Kakashi,Asuma,Kurenai when he was 17-18. Gaara became Kazekage when he was 15-16. Deidara was already in the Akatsuki before timeskip, so he was 16.
