Can You Beat Akatsuki with Only Itachi and Kisame?

For any fan of the Naruto series, the strength of the Akatsuki is a topic of endless fascination. This elite group of shinobi has always been seen as an insurmountable challenge for anyone trying to take them down.

Understanding the Challenge

The Akatsuki is composed of some of the most powerful S-ranked ninjas, each with their own unique abilities. But what if you could face only two of them with your legendary allies, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki? Can you possibly hope to beat such formidable opponents? Let’s break down the strengths of the Akatsuki and the odds for our hypothetical battle.

The Akatsuki Members

Yhwach

Yhwach, the former leader of the Akatsuki, stands as the epitome of power. Fused with the Soul King's right hand, he possesses the ability to see countless possibilities and nullify the abilities of anything he sees and understands. He is also the wielder of Almighty, capable of taking away powers and possessing the abilities of the sternritters. Adding to his arsenal is the Yama's Bankai, a power that threatens the existence of the three realms.

Aizen

Aizen wields the powerful Kyoka Suigetsu, with the Hogyoku granting him reactive evolution and actual immortality. This alone makes him almost invincible, with abilities like Kaguya's existence erasure and Hidan's gravity manipulation in his arsenal.

Askin

Askin has the ability to control lethal doses of any substance, ensuring that his opponents are killed by their own blood, energy, or oxygen. In addition, he has reactive evolution and invulnerability, making him nearly impossible to harm. Once in contact with another person's spirit energy, he becomes immune to it.

Lille Barro

Lille Barro is a master of precision and power. Anything he shoots pierces without block or dodge. He is intangible, immortal due to regeneration, and has the ability to fly and teleport. His attacks are virtually unstoppable.

Barragan

Barragan has the ability to age his opponents to death with his Scenesensia. This ability creates a situation where anything that approaches him is slowed significantly, making it almost impossible to attack him effectively.

Ichibei

Ichibei can remove or give new powers to anyone, grant them new names, and control all black. His existence erasure ability makes him a ticking time bomb for any team.

Senjumaru

Senjumaru's Bankai shakes the very fabric of the three realms, threatening its existence. She has limited fate manipulation, damage transferral, and can warp reality to her advantage.

Jugo

Jugo can use his ability to redirect misfortune and bad luck back to anyone around him, making him almost invincible in battle. With this power, he can kill anyone he couldn't have before.

Pernida

Pernida has the ability to control his opponents through his nerves. He can mimic the intellect and powers of anything his nerves touch and has reactive evolution. He has surpassed Kenpachi in strength and speed, negating durability.
