Right now he's at B. I could see B+, but I don't think A-. He's mostly limited to needles with offense, and if you can actually hit him like Naruto did he doesn't take it well. Genin Sasuke was able to handle him in close.

I think he has a few holes he'd fill with age.

Ahh, kay. That's fine then.
Thought he was already in B+. I said he could go to A- as he was from a point when Kishi hadn't yet decided to rapidly power-up his characters.

Which can still be dodged. But meh, your call.

We've ranked based on far less before.

Dude, that sfx is the same one as the sfx that is used when the kunai goes through Tobi's head. His right arm was already phased through Fu's head so if he made it tangible, Fu'd be dead.
Like I said, Tobi touched Fu with his left hand. He never touched him with his right.

Also, I've always wondered, does mirroring the scene really get through the copyright issues? 😐

Zabuza was directly stated to be more dangerous than them all, due to his Hidden Mist awesomeness. He needs not a flashy technique, to kick ass.

He is clearly the strongest. estahuh

it just kinda seemed like he had to touch someone with the right hand at first, but i knew first he just had to make contact somehow which he did

Meh, who knows. Against Naruto, I think he just wanted to use the Human Path's power to pwn him.
Speaking of which, those Jinchuurikii really need to display Path powers.

I thought it was Suigetsu's brother? Since he has mastery of all 7 swords.

No way. Kisame is easily the strongest swordsman.

All listing within each rank are alphabetical.

---

Seven Swordsmen and Kekkei genkai users added.

Akebino Jinin and Kuriarare Kushimaru at A-, Ringo and Munashi Jinpachi at A, Fuguki at A+, Mangetsu at S-.

A for Pakura and Gari, B for Tomoi.

Bumped Haku to B+ and Gaara to A.

*Edit* Added swordless versions of Mangetsu and Fuguki at A+ and A.

Hmm, is Fuguki's rank without Samehada taken into account?

No. Should that be A (plain) maybe?

Fuguki with Samehada was killed by Kisame without, so A+ fits him with it.

Hm, similarly, should swordless Mangetsu be A+?

Probably.

Edited in.

It does strike me interesting that even swordless Fuguki was able to last longer than all the sword-wielding members of the group.

Well we don't know exactly who the three were that outlast him. I merely assume it was Mangetsu and two others. Perhaps the KG users but it might have been Jinpachi or Ringo.

I thought it was only one that outlasted him?

Nope.

Ah. Hm, that info would've helped make for better rating.

Well, you can modify it if you like. 😛

One thing on the ratings is we seem to have a lack of A-s. If people could look over the list of As and B+s and recommend any they'd think'd fit A- better, it'd be a help 🙂

Gaara and Haku. 😛

But I'll my personal opinions later. Give others a chance to throw their opinions out there.

On a side note DP, are you Madara or Tobi? mmm

How about C? He's on A's bodyguards, but he's youngish and hasn't been in a war before.

who knows. match-ups kinda messed with the shinobi in question, for example C's genjutsu skills would mean nothing before a mangekyo sharingan, it's just at the top of the heap in terms of that branch of ninja techs.

torune and fuu suffered a similar loss when facing a guy who not only has a powerful sharingan, but torune's insta-win tech was limited against tobi. their combo tactics would have defeated a lot of ninja of lesser brokeness, fuu himself would have cut the top of pretty much anyone else's domepiece off with his tantō at the beginning of the fight
