The power of Kimimaro Kaguya
Mod done by 619TheLord. Come to think of it, Kimimaro is an insanely underrated character. He had a good backstory, somewhat tragic, he wasn't exactly "evil", he was decent enough to let Lee drink his "medicine". The sound 4 gave Choji, Neji, Kiba and Shikamaru a lot of trouble in their base forms, let alone in their curse mark second state forms. Kidomaru nearly killed Neji, Choji nearly died by the hands of the "weakest among the sound 4", and they all needed aid from the sand siblings (Temari, Kankuro and Gaara).. And Kimimaro? Kimimaro took on all 4 of them alone, and they probably had to resort to their curse mark 2nd state forms, and still ended up failing. On top of that, Kimimaro, in his base, effectively dodged Lee's drunken fist and his taijutsu and speed were superior to Lee's. Granted, Lee wasn't in his prime, but Kimimaro was sick, and on the verge of death. He also took on around 500 of Naruto's shadow clones while he was under Kurama's influence. Gaara buried him beneath the sand 2-3 times, once even 200 meters beneath the ground, and Kimimaro always managed to emerge nearly unscathed. He was sick when he KILLED the 4th Kazekage. His bones had enough strength to penetrate Gaara's sand, to the point where Gaara was forced to use the strongest minerals from the ground to block them. In the end, he had an attack which caused tens of thousands of bones to emerge from the ground. Naturally, that attack would've killed anyone standing there, but Gaara was able to fly up using his sand "clouds". And on top of all that, he managed to emerge from one of the bones and nearly kill Gaara, but his sickness and exhaustion caught up to him, before he could. There was a reason why Orochimaru wanted him for his new vessel and his unique kekkei genkai, which allows him to produce an infinite amount of bones from his body and weaponize them, using them as the ultimate defense and offense is just incredible. I'd say he would've been a good candidate for the Akatsuki, I mean he's not completely out of their league. So consider this video a tribute to an underappreciated character :D
