Naruto 314

I wouldnt consider Kakashi's MS a big threat but Tsunadi being there? very much so.

and on a completely unprovable tangent opinion...

Itachi & Kisami > Hidan & Kazaku

and while i'm at it...

Itachi > Hidan & Kazaku

i wont go as far as saying he is greater then both because we havent seen there skills just yet. but i will go as far as saying that they wont stand a chance entering konoha and makeing it out alive.

the only reason itachi was able to was because the city was rebuilding from the attack by orochimaru, and now akatsuki don't have the advandage of surprise on there side. everyone knows they will come after naruto sooner or later.

MS is not a threat? I'd be afraid of a guy who could send me to another dimension just by looking at me (or just tear my arm off if he "misses"). I don't know about you...

And if there is anything that has been abuntandly clear throughout the story, it's that Sharingan is way overpowered compared to everything else.

So I think it's reasonable to assume that a 2-man Akatsuki team with Sharingan is better than a 2-man akatsuki team without it.

But it's just an assumption.

It may be over powerful but the side effects make up for that fact. Draining all you chakra and/or casuing you to go blind.

It doesn't cause blindness. That was a mis-translation from a previous chapter.

Then what does it do? Gives you a huge hang over? Anyone else can comfirm the "doesn't give you blindness due to usage?"

[mage]

As far as we know, there are no ill side effects.

The scene that brought the whole blindness to question was a very debateable series of dialogue between Kakashi and Itachi that came down to one of two probable scenarios:

1) Kakashi was eluding to Itachi losing his vision
2) Kakashi was eluding to having a secret weapon that Itachi neglected to notice

Many people sided with the 1st theory, as the likelyhood of kakashi suddenly having a jutsu that would elicit such fear in Itachi seemed unreasonable within the bounds of the Naruto realm. However, when he later unconvers his mangekyou sharingan, it is confirmed that this is, in fact, the case.

As a result, the consensus for the most part silently shook off the notion of itachi going blind.
