Well in canon they lost their most powerful ninja to defection:
Orochimaru, Itachi, and Obito
Itachi...only sorta defected though, he was still a leaf ninja everyone just thought he defected. He was basically on a mission until death to spy on the Akatsuki.
And that only helps the Yuki, Mei's side of the Mist thing has jack shit to compare which does nothing to prevent the Yuki from coming in and slaughtering them by force.
Y'all acting like the Yuki are the only established clan in the entire Mist village. You're underselling the Hozuki and Karatachi clans, especially the former, who despite appearance, don't need to bank on their Hydrafication jutsu. If it's a clan of people like Gangetsu who focus on summons enhance genjutsu
For now they are still united. They still add to the potential of the mist since they fight for and operate in the mist. Weather Mei’s actions get her overthrown is her business
*squints*
Mei is actually a very popular leader among the people of the Mist in canon, and literally, ever problem she now faces was because Plot is screwing her over, she actually refused to participate in the Chunin exams in canon. Either way, whether by popular belief or sheer might it won't be easy to just 'overthrow' Mei.
*Suna*
And Gaara's dad died to Kimimaro, not even the second strongest Oto nin. Not exactly a real show of force there...he sucks.
Just saying, if there is a Civil War it would really be a Civil Slaughter cause the imbalance in the Mist's power is ridiculous. Even the Uchiha don't have that much of an advantage over the rest of Konoha.
There
are other clans in the Mist :T
There would be no such thing as a slaughter.
lol suna's rekt no kage if itachi is distracted by jin than yuki can solo the leaf rn. royal guard can take care of clan heads
Royal Guard? I'm almost offended you think a royal guard could compare to my strongest OC.
No kimimaro helped in the fight, Orochimaru and Kabuto also took part in that fight. He didn’t solo him.
Well actually...the Uchiha are so strong that even Kohona itself was worried that they could be easily overthrown. And if I do recall, one Uchiha nearly destroyed the entire village alone.
Incorrect, the Uchiha clan at that time had no where near enough power to easily overthrow Konoha. The Uchiha post-Madara , and Pre-extermination are the weakest they've ever been in canon. They're a strong clan, but without their power-players, they can't achieve anywhere near the level of dominance they 'appear' to have.
At that point in canon the Uchiha clan only had 2 Mangekyo Sharingan users, Shisui and Fugaku, and in a large scale war, Kotoamatsukami becomes almost irrelevant as it can't affect a large group of people. It would be capable of turning two people, and that'd be about it. Furthermore, it is neither omnipotent, undetectable nor unbreakable as shown during the 5 Kage summit when Danzo cast it on Mifune.
Considering that Shishui was mobbed and driven to his death by Anbu and Danzo, and Itachi hadn't unlocked the MS at the time, their only other power play would've been Fugaku and that would've have been sufficient for them to easily overwhelm the leaf, or overwhelm it at all for that matter.
The Uchiha with it's 3 surviving members was stronger than the entire clan at the peak of it's prosperity, not including Madara's era.
Konoha and the Mist are pretty OP because they've gotten the most attention. Kumo and Iwa are like usual and Suna is basically halfway dead, only reason they're not getting attacked is cuz onoki is still heading to iwa lol
This is true.
Given how poorly he did against Gaara when reanimated, I'm not convinced he wasn't a weakling. Gaara was not that much stronger compared to his fight with Kimimaro since he doesn't do training.
Konoha was worried of a Civil War, not being overthrown. Danzo considered just killing them himself if Itachi disagreed with doing the deed. Again there is an imbalance there but there are guys like Kakashi, Guy, Jiraiya (Later Tsunade) and company fighting for the Leaf. So it wouldn't be as big a slaughter as the Yuki to the Mist given they have Mei (Who is honestly kinda weak in canon) and...jack shit XD
Y'all need to stop dissing my girl Mei, she probably would've killed Sasuke if he didn't get saved by Zetsu who drained her chakra, and that was literally her only fight against a non-god-tier opponent.
To add onto how sad canon Suna is, their best ninja (Barring Chiyo) couldn't kill a young untrained Gaara when his father ordered for his assassination. A Genin Rock Lee did more to Gaara then their best ninja could. That is just disgraceful.
To be completely fair, Suna sends their best ninja to die in suicide missions, e.g. Pakura.
She does have aides (and a few other allies incoming) so don’t count her out. Although odds are starting to stack against her, as the strongest clan of the mist is not something you want on its bad side
'-' Really cozying up to that title aren't ya?
I just want a civil war if it happens to not be a stupid slaughter just cause one freakin clan can take on their entire nation and win with utter ease. That's the reason I hate the Uchiha Clan and the Yuki are giving me no reason to suspect they won't be just as bad with power imbalance.
Possibly (May happen anyway) but it feels cheap that the only way the other nations compete is if these unfortunate incidents happen to the Leaf.
Baki sucks dude, he only ever defeated that guy with a cough. Who wasn't anything to write home about and was useless at literally everything else. And like I said Rasa isn't really much to write home about among Kage either.
Vast army=fodder. Iwa had a vast army and was struggling to defeat Minato, one man. ANBU fodder have already been killed by Genin in this story, they count for nothing XD
Everything in the post is wrong, except that part about Baki, Neither the Yuki nor Uchiha clans can easily take on their nations. The Susanō is literally the most lethal weapon they'd have in their arsenal as all the other MS abilities (besides the Amaterasu + Kagatsuchi combo) are terrible for combating large forces. All the genjutsu related abilities aren't AoE enough, and Amaterasu can be sealed so it isn't as much of a threat as it may seem.
Which is a problem for me. I never like it when the balance scales are tipped that far in favor of one side.
Which is why the other nations could use a buff, especially Suna. It's a shame I like their village but they suck so stupidly bad.
Suna has a massive buff called
Allies with Konoha.
Maybe give some powerful clans to the other nations? That is the one thing they seem to lack compared to Konoha and it would help at least partially address this imbalance.
Hmm I suppose pakura’s clan could be expanded upon in the sand, perhaps Chiyo’c clan
What would Chiyo's clan even do '-' As far as their basic abilities go they'd simply make more puppets, and Suna already has a Puppet brigade. I'm not sure they would add any game-changing buffs to Suna.
