Yes, Tsunade is Kage level in many ways, but in terms of actual Kage levels feats, the most noticeable things we've seen from her have been limited to more supportive and defensive capabilities. Offensively, she's always felt lacking in options--especially in comparison to other Kage. And that's why I think it would be a good match. Because much to Tsunade's credit, if she can land a clean hit, she can make it count. But based on Tsunade's offensive capabilities, I'm not convinced that landing the one hit would be so simple a matter against someone who can stay clean out of her reach and phase through hand-to-hand assaults.

As for the issue with long range, I can see Tsunade using her summon to split into hundreds of divisions and spit acid, or perform some other well coordinated attack if necessary. Not to mention she can also “wear” a small slug for extra defense if needed. Tsunade has incredible stamina, dodging ability, battle experience, and her healing is currently the best in the ninja world –indeed she has survived some very devastating attacks. So, I think the question is rather what will Konan really be able to do to stop Tsunade, besides that impractical trap laid for Obito? (Impractical in the sense that it takes considerable preparation and cannot be done on the fly) Probably not much : / |

With that said, creating explosive tags are a pretty simple task for Konan. And disguising it is also something she excels in better than anyone else I can think of. Even her clones can be riddled with explosives. Now I know we've seen Tsunade recover from some pretty serious and fatal injuries but explosions easily have the potential to cause far more instantaneous damage than we've ever seen her sustain at any one moment. So in theory, Konan has the tools to force her into expending chakra at an alarming rate--if not instantly kill her without allowing her techniques time to regenerate anything. So for me, it ultimately comes down to whether Tsunade can survive a multitude of cleverly laid exploding traps long enough to land a decisive blow and whether Konan can end the battle before getting caught by Katsuyu's spit or some other well planned assault--which is why I can see it going either way.

To sum it up, I envision Konan's chances lying within in her keen intellect, and her ability to apply it to create highly damaging paper-based traps that would be hard to dodge indefinitely while also possibly overwhelming Tsunade's forbidden regeneration/creation techniques.

Tsunade fights with her fists, Konan turns into a mass of paper.
This isn't downplaying Tsunade's abilities, it's just a matter of bad match-up. As for what happened with Jiraiya, he used oil. Konan's weak against thick, sticky liquid. |

Also we haven't seen Tsunade fight all out, the one time she did it was against Madara and most of the fight was skipped. Even then she was able to destroy Madara's susanoo with punches. She's also considered the strongest kuinoichi in the world. As for the exploding paper Konan has, if that acidic spit thing is put all over them they probably won't reach Tsunade and then all it takes is one of Tsunade's techniques for Konan not to move her body anymore.

So I respectfully draw the line here. Ultimately I prefer to decide these things, based solely on considering their respective techniques, strengths, and weaknesses. Having done that, I'm still of the opinion that both of these women possess ways to create plausible circumstances for victory (circumstances we could probably continue to argue and debate upon ad nauseum). |

*edit* Actually, I forgot the fact that Temari's wind skills have developed to the point where she's been shown to cut some pretty durable opponents. So, yeah. I could see Temari being potentially a bad match-up for Konan. Konan would really have to make use of her intellect to stand a chance. Last edited by sayde; 2013-01-01 at 18:25. |

as someone said above, Temari would be useless against Konan unless she can produce fire.

At full strength, I have to agree with this. I don't think Jiraiya, if both fought in their primes, could beat Orochimaru. During the 3-way fight, Had all 3 been at full power, I still think Orochimaru would have managed to (barely) win

From what I've heard, don't expect to see another chapter until around the 15th to 16th. |

I cant believe it myself... i remembered my login data.
After more then a full year... probably two years i am finally back on Animesuki. Good to see certain names such as Ero-Senn1n and James are still around. I've been following Naruto constantly though but didnt have enough time to discuss it. For the time being a happy new year to all the new guys who dont know me... the ones that forgot about me and the ones that still remember the endless running ANBU guy Mr. Johnny 5. Looking forward to discuss some new chapters with all of you in 2013. Since it really looks like Naruto is reaching it's climax. All the things we discussed. Naruto as a sensei... well i doubt we will see that with him being so super strong. Plus with this form of alliance i doubt they will return being enemies in the future even after victory..
