I think the only person she could beat is Kin, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and Choji (that was before he was training harder). The others would all beat her

16. Asuma Sarutobi



I was always interested in what the other Senseis (Asuma and Kurenai) were like. I thought Asuma was really cool




As a fighter though, he ended up being pretty lame. He didn't seem nearly as strong as Kakashi, and his attacks seemed pretty simple. He also got killed handily by Kakuzu, when even Shikamaru was able to beat him somewhat easily (although with the critical info that he got from Asuma's sacrifice)



Definitely a shame that he got killed off. I liked him a lot as a character despite his little airtime

15. Dosu Kinata



When I first saw Dosu, I thought he was a total filler, and perhaps the weakest ninja of his team. I thought of him like I initially underestimated Shikamaru. To my surprise, he ended up being the strongest one on his team, and had a pretty cool Sound power too



I thought Choji might actually be secretly powerful, but he kicked Choji's butt in seconds. I really liked him now. Then he was easily killed by Gaara and turned out to be a filler villain after all . For capturing my imagination and impressing me for his short time though, he gets this high placement

I was going to put him even higher but then I thought I better not

13. Kabuto



I didn't think of much of Kabuto when he was 1st interested. He seemed like a nobody. Which is probably what the writer planned



Then we saw him explode onto the scene as an undercover strategist and sneak for Orochimaru. I love those kind of anime politics and wish it happened more in anime, so I was very excited to see this development



To my surprise Kabuto ended up being quite cool power wise. He was a skilled medical ninja and was able to stand toe to toe against Kakashi



My respect for Kabuto grew and grew despite me not caring for his plain look and kind of hating him for being such a weasel. He was able to stand toe to toe and even kind of beat Tsunade who actually needed help from Naruto. He also showed complexity when he ended up being surprisingly loyal to Orochimaru despite the author hinting that he was actually not



Kabuto has ended up to be 1 of the most complex villains I've seen in any anime. At times, he even seems smarter and more dangerous than Orochimaru himself. He reminded me of an under the radar floater. Sure enough, he ended up surviving over Orochimaru, much like how "weaker players" in Survivor often last longer than the big alpha male. With the latest development of Kabuto in the manga, I'm still interested to see where Kabuto ends up. However, I can't put him any higher, just because there are other characters I love even more!

12. Orochimaru



Orochimaru is 1 of my favorite anime villains of all time. He managed to successfully creep me out upon his introduction. He was both terrifying and powerful which is all the makings of a great villain. A cruel sociopath, Orochimaru made for a great mix of strategist, mysterious androgyny, creepy demonic serpent imagery stressing his evilness, and calm somewhat-humorous callous destroyer of peace



The new villains like Pain pale in comparison to Orochimaru. Well, he's more pale but you know what I mean. Orochimaru's got the full Phantom of the Opera soundtrack backing him up too, which you just can't beat



If you're going to be a 1 dimensional evil villain, then you need to be like Orochimaru. He's given us great fight scenes, and started a war, so he definitely goes down in my book as an awesome character. Unfortuantely for him, I like good guys better than bad guys so this is as far as she gets

8. Yamanaka Ino



I was going to rank Ino even higher, but I realized that was silly given that she has the same problem as all the other female ninja. She's underdeveloped and is relegated to healer and inferior fighter status



Early on Ino caught my attention, because she was by far the best looking of the girls. I liked her look more than most girls in any anime actually



With her strong personality and rivalry with Sakura I really thought she'd be a much more significant character than she's turned out to be. She seemed like the early leader and strongest ninja of her team at the start



I realized that Ino was sort of an average ninja in the Chuunin Exam when she tied to weak Sakura of all people. Their battle was basically limited to very basic techniques, and Ino's mind control technique flopped. It crushed my dreams of a very awesome kunoichi Ino



Then came the timeskip. Ino got even worse. She didn't look as good as she used to which is surprising given that she should've gotten sexier. In addition, she seems like a total Sakura inferior being a weaker healer, and probably a weaker fighter too



Where did the strong Ino go?! The girl that was Sakura's superior rival. The girl that was bossing Choji and Shikamaru around



Despite low visibility and poor development, Ino has made it this high based on looks alone



Also the manga is featuring her again so hopefully she'll be cool during the latest stuff



During the Kakuzu/Hidan fight, she was pretty useless. She didn't even heal really, so I'm not happy about that



I'm hoping her and the other girls have some really important moment and that the writer has just been saving their cool parts for later. I have faith
