Konan is bound to be strong to a certain degree, thanks to plot no jutsu. Still, I'm not particularly sure how paper jutsu are going to be strong enough to contend with pretty much any other jutsu, origami styled jutsu was bound to show up as soon as Sai showed off his ink techniques though. Which Konoha ninja is going to die due to multiple paper cuts then?

Again, Hidan was only taken out due to plot no jutsu. Hidan killed Sarutobi Asuma so of course Shikamaru had to get revenge. Maybe Sasuke should take note from Shikamaru on the whole revenge thing, seeing as Shikamaru managed it on a S-ranked seemingly immortal ninja in a ridiculously small amount of time.

I never liked Deidara and Sasori was only cool whilst inside Hiruko.

Never understood why Pein is taking orders from Madara. Yes, Uchiha Madara has the Mangekyou Sharingan without the deteriorating eye-sight but still, Pein supposedly has the most powerful doujutsu in the Narutoverse, not forgetting 6 bodies with different abilities.

I can't really comment on Zetsu, apart from looking like a venus fly trap, having multiple personalities and being crap at commentating on battles, I know nothing about him.

As for Kakuzu, I only thought he was cool when he suddenly appeared behind Shikamaru who had Hidan caught up in a shadow bind jutsu [Link]. The elemental combo's were pretty cool but I'm expecting to see much better ones from Pein.

Uchiha Itachi. Not sure what's going on with Itachi, is he dead or unconscious in the latest chapter? In anycase, Zetsu mentioned Itachi seemed to be taking hits which he should otherwise dodge easily, was coughing up blood and seemed wounded from a fight before the showdown with Sasuke. I really hope he isn't dead so theres chance they redeem his character, Itachi seemed 10x stronger against Kakashi and the others when we first saw him in Konoha then what he did against Sasuke.

Hoshigaki Kisame is where its at, I can't wait to see his fight with Suigetsu, Juuno and Karin. I'm thinking Kisame is one of the strongest in Akatsuki; He handled Team Gai relatively easily with only 30% of his maximum chakra output, which was stated by Neji to be equal to that of Kyuubi Naruto's during the Chuunin Exam. Kisame's chakra capacity, combined with his sheer strength (over-powering Asuma with the tip of his blade) and ownership of the Samehada, a sword which only he can wield and has the ability to absorb chakra, amounts to Kisame being one tough mother*bleep*er.
