Well, I don't think they are weak...they are certainly strong, but in a very strained position. BTW CmDr_RavEn, your whole post argues towards Konoha being overpowered, not weak as you say. They don't have anyone stronger to send after Sasuke because they are overpowered, even though they have plenty of strong ninjas. All of their strong ninjas are out doing missions, as you say.
Eh? Which of my posts are you talking about?

Oh, now I see, the one on the first page.

I don't get what you're trying to say. My point is, seeing the Uchiha clan is all but extinct, you'd think retrieving one of the only surviving members from the enemy's grasp would be a top priority job. But because they are weaker now, they have no choice but to send a group of lower level nins with a rookie leader to go after him, because their remaining stronger nins are out doing missions to save face for the village, trying to maintain a "strong" image to the rest of the world.
If Konoha was to be attacked right now by a considerable force, they'd be wiped out. I'm disagreeing with the initial post and saying that they're underpowered right now, not overpowered.
