I had the idea that Sakura has surpassed Tsunade, obviously their regeneration is about the same, but Sakura has much more destructive power.Anyway, I can't find any reason Sasuke could win this with no problems, especially without his Susano'o. One of Sasori's puppets is the third Kazekage, who IIRC was supposed to be the strongest Kazekage and one that could manipulate poisoned iron sand. Not only that, but Sasori has well over a hundred puppets he can control at the same time including himself, each with dangerous weapons varying from missiles to flame throwers to senbon, and if any of them injured Sasuke, the poison would leave him vulnerable.
The Third Raikage was even faster than the Fourth Raikage, and his Ultimate Arrmor was powerful enough to tank a Rasenshuriken and Biju Bombs, while his ultimate attack was even stronger than those things--A super chidori. He's stronger than the rest of the Raikages.
Kisame was a Wielder of Samehada, he could hypothetically do away with Amaterasu, and any other chakra based attack from Sasuke and use it to heal his wounds and rejuvenate his strength endlessly. He can spawn mini-oceans with his Water Style, and can even create several chakra-absorbing water based attacks, including a water prison the size of a mountain.
The Second Tsuchikage has the same dust element powers as Onoki that can demolish Susano'o, the only difference is that he is t in his old age, and he has other techniques such as his ability to escape death by halving himself.
This team is supremely formidable, I can see Sasuke having a good shot at winning with his Susano'o, but probably not so much without it. Current Naruto/Sasuke are overrated.
Pfft, and what do those puppets equate to against Sasuke? Even Sakura was able to defeat them all and find an opening with Chiyo's help to kill Sasori. Sasuke would unleash a single chidori stream, phoenix flower jutsu, and they're all gone. Or he could just blitz and shred them all with his vastly superior speed, strength and reaction speed, rendering them useless.
No, the third Raikage was stronger than the fourth, but the fourth has been dubbed many times to be the second fastest ninja in history, behind only the leaf's yellow flash. What does that matter? We've seen that the raikage's are susceptible to advanced genjutsu, something Sasuke can casually cast with a simple glance, which could be achieved through his superior speed alone. Yes, Sasuke and Naruto are both much faster than any kage, period. They fought toe-to-toe with Jyuubidara, and even defeated him before he stole Kakashi's eye, the same one that held his ground in terms of speed against eight gates Gai. Gai was the fastest/strongest character in the series at that point, yet Naruto and Sasuke defeated someone who kept up with him. Sasuke would instantly pierce any Raikage with a black Chidori.
That's assuming Kisame has Samehada in this fight at all, considering Killer Bee has it now. Not to mention that it was stated that Amaterasu could only be extinguished by the caster. It was never even insinuated that Kisame could do so. Not to mention that he would be roasting alive and unable to do anything but scream as he was coated in it, and Samehada would probably run away before meeting the same fate. Even without that though, his water attacks are fodder to Sasuke, who could use a simple chidori stream or any chidori really, to instantly turn Kisame's advantage severely against him. All Sasuke has to do is shoot a chidori and the entire water prison would arch it all around, and roast Kisame.
Well we've never seen dust style against a perfect Susano'o, so it should be safe to say that it's useless here, since it can even repel god-level rinnegan jutsu like it's nothing. Not to mention that Sasuke could simply vaporize Muu with Amaterasu, or blitz him like everyone else on this list at the same time.
Naruto and Sasuke are NOT overrated. They are the literal fastest, strongest characters in the series aside from possibly Jyuubidara with duel rinnegan's, who just got eaten by Zetsu. Not to mention that Sasuke presumably also has all the other rinnegan path abilities, such as almighty push, universal pull, chakra absorption, etc.
