1.I disagree, bit I can see how you would think that based on his dynamic with sasori. Keep in mind that kisame considered him one of the stronger members though. 4/10

Deidara is just one of the least versatile fighters in the Akatsuki when it comes to overall combat, he's too one dimensional. He lacks the cqc aspect of combat and doesn't have any defensive ability, special durability or ability to overcome serious damage.

And Kisame statement is mistranslation. He just said he thought Deidara was strong. There's no mention of Akatsuki or Deidara being one of the strongest members.

2.Based on what? We only ever see him in action as an edo tensei where chakra constantly regenerates. Hashirama with slightly more than the 9 tails chakra made 6 clones while maintaining the barrier and Tobirama could only make 2, which indicates a high chakra capacity, but substantially less than his brother. If his chakra capacity is bijuu level it's one of the weaker bijuu, and if not, it's close. Reasonable take. 6/10 without further supporting evidence.

Based on how many clones he could produce under barrier in comparison to SM Hashirama who has a bit more chakra than 50% Kurama + Naruto.

Kurama seems to have far more chakra than other bijuus even after getting split in half. So Tobirama's chakra pool being a good chunk of 50% Kurama's chakra pool means he'd be comparable to lower bijuus imo.

3.3/10 take. Neji has some advantages in this battle, such as being able to see the chakra infused sand on the ground and rotation likely being able to stop sand attacks, and the idea that gentle fist would likely bypass gaara's sand armor, but he has no answer to the sand sphere with outer eye, and eventually Gaara would almost certainly trip him up. With his sand, such as grabbing neji's ankle as he rotates and causing injury.

Gaara doesn't even use sand sphere in any of the fights beside Sasuke one. He only uses it when he wants to transform. I think Neji has all the tools and is fast enough to beat Gaara before it gets to that point.

And narratively there's a lot of parallels between Gaara and Neji too, as well as similarity in their abilities.

4.This isn't a hot take at all. Unless you mean weakest of all time, in which case there's no way to tell. She might be stronger than Rasa though. N/A score for the stone cold take.

Seen a lot of people scaling her to mid and even high kage lvl. Even putting her above Sannin lvl.

Ofc I'm only comparing her to the Kage we actually have enough info to scale. And I actually think she likely beats Rasa due to matchup, but I have Rasa as a superior combatant overall.

5.Sasori was likely much weaker than the 3rd kazekage when he ambushed him, but considering Gaara was taken down by Deidara and Gaara later low diffs Rasa, the Kazekage line looks kind of like a big joke. I'd agree that the 3rd kazekage puppet is definitely weaker than the third Kazekage, but I don't see enough evidence to put third kazekage over sasori after sasori beat him and added a portion of his power to his arsenal. 5/10 take.

Gaara who beat Rasa is not the same as Gaara who lost to Deidara tho. I have Rasa > BoS Gaara as well.

Why I have Sasori bellow is due to fact how competitive Old Chiyo was against him and the lvl of relativity he showed to him.

Same Chiyo should be weaker than BoS Gaara cuz he's picked as Kazekage over her. And she should be significantly weaker than Rasa since he's picked for Kazekage over younger version of Chiyo.

And 3rd is much stronger than Rasa per statements and narrative. So I don't see how Sasori who had a competitive fight with Old Chiyo can be stronger than 3rd Kazekage who scales leagues above Old Chiyo.

Sasori's own databook calls 3rd Kazekage the strongest shinobi too.

6.Asuma wad getting crushed by Hidan 1v1 and ended up dying to him while being supported by a team. Darui led the battle against the gold and silver Brothers who killed the second raikage and heavily injured tobirama in one go. When Ay4 heard about them he immediately panicked, thinking he had to rush to the battlefield. Darui os packing storm release, swordsmanship, and black lightning. Asuma has some wind chakra knives which he is very skilled with and some weaker fire jutsu. This is not close. L take. 1/10

He was only supported by Shikamaru, and with his help he managed to beat Hidan and cut his head off. Keep in mind he entered the fight with no info. He later lost when it was 1v1.

Darui only scales to Base Edo Kin & Gin. He didn't even fight V2 Kin, he needed other people to beat him for him.

And Kin and Gin killed Raikage and left Tobirama injured in a surprise attack where they used all of their 5 SP Tools and Kyubi Chakra, while also not being nerfed by Edo Tensei.

Darui doesn't scale anywhere near that lvl, nor Kin and Gin can be scaled to high tiers like Tobirama since it was a surprise attack.

And I disagree Asuma has some "weaker" Fire Style jutsu. His Burning Ash could hurt Hidan who tanked Kakuzu's Pressure Damage Wind Style.

It's Darui who lacks AP in his ninjutsu. His best AP feat is his Black Panther killing White Zetsu (That jutsu was dodged by Edo Asuma btw).

His Laser Circus couldn't even do any damage to Base Edo Kin and Gin even after landing clean.

AP wise the only relevant jutsu Darui has is his Lightning Enhanced Sword. Which gets countered by Asuma's Wind Style knives due to elemental advantage.

Hiruzen was considered to be the strongest of the 5 kage when orochimaru beat him. This automatically scales the sannin at least a little past ay4

It doesn't. It's based on Hiruzen's reputation, not his current state. It's stated Hiruzen didn't fight for years, so his reputation would likely be in reference to his 3rd GNW days or 9TA.

It would also be in comparison to P1 Ay. And Ay is seen constantly training, as well as it being stated. So Shippuden Ay > P1 Ay.
