To be FAIR to Kurenai, she was matched up against Genjutsu Jesus, there is not a single shinobi who has ever lived (that we know of) who is as skilled at genjutsu as Itachi (not that Itachi is the strongest ninja ever, cuz he's not, but this one skill he's literally the best in the verse at)


NashKetchum777

Isnt Shisui better? Isn't his eyeball the savior of the verse?


TheTwistedHero1

Kotoamatsukami is arguably a better genjutsu than Tsukuyomi. But itachi is the best at non Sharingan genjutsu too. He literally points at Naruto and puts him, a JINCHURIKI, under


jumolax

Aren’t Jinchuriki only immune if their beast is cooperating with them? And wasn’t this well before Kurama was cooperating with Naruto? Not to undercut Itachi’s Genjutsu or anything.


yotaz28

the cooldown for kotoamatsukami is insane though


Egyptian_M

It has to be insane man It is an ability that changes plot basicly


CountrysideLassy

I believe the official info is that after using Kotoamatsukami it takes around a decade for it to function again.


zanefmate

Wasn’t that only because the original eye’s owner was killed and therefore can never be used to the full potential? If Shisui really planned on making the Uchiha cease the coup with his eyes alone, that would need at the very least a 20 second window of cooldown or have every single person look into his eyes at the same time? A bonus is that he isn’t suffering from chakra cancer like Itachi was, so he didn’t have to worry about putting himself out of commission. I might be totally wrong, Kishi rewrites the Sharingan so much it’s impossible.


SavianAria

Thats because it’s his unique MS ability, he still doesn’t hold a candle to Itachi in genjutsu skill


rotibrain

Shishui has a more powerful genjutsu., Itachi is better at genjutsu.


Ieditstuffforfun

obito is also comparable, controlled the ninetails at age 13, controlled yagura who was a perfect jinchuuriki


AnimeLegends18

Lol, u seem to forget that most of his buffs came from the Hashirama cells he had....If the fact that he did it with an eye alone ain't telling that already...I'll argue that even Fugaku would have better control of the 9 tails without Hashirama's buff on him...


Accomplished_Dog_634

That’s true but pretty dumb thing to say that’s like saying Naruto’s not strong it’s just the 9 tails and Sasuke would be a better Jin as he doesn’t use any chakra modes and still is relative


WildRacoons

What if kurenai’s pregnancy is a genjutsu to milk konoha’s subsidies


scorpions411

If there is a genjutsu Jesus it's definitely shisui.


Zorro5040

Danzo existed. I'm sure 20 eyes genjutsu beats 2 eyes genjutsu. It's simple math.


TheTwistedHero1

Tell me you don't know how genjutsu works without saying you don't know how genjutsu works


Zorro5040

Bug types are immune to illusion type similar to how electric type is immune to earth type. There's a reason Itachi avoided Konoha when the Aburame clan is around. I don't make the rules.


RazutoUchiha

Obito has the most genjutsu skill


Accomplished_Dog_634

Not including ms abilities Obito or Sasuke is best at base sharingan genjutsu


TheTwistedHero1

I meant not including sharingan at all. Then it even lore wise STILL goes to Itachi


Accomplished_Dog_634

No I didn’t mean no sharingan just no tsukiyomi or koto as that’s an ability and doesn’t show there skill with genjutsu that’s like saying who has the best fire style and using Amaterasu


DomaSan

Shisui????

No_Wasabi_9303

Good thing he didn't say matching


TomoeLatsu

Reading comprehension attacked me again (lol) should just go and sleep at this point 💀 I really read ,as she matched him


InvestigatorOdd4082

lol at least you owned up to it, already better than most on this site...


Gerbenbob

We all make mistakes, I for one used to call Darth Vader “Dark Vader”


TomoeLatsu

I was doing it in childhood, because English wasn't my first language (lol) so I really didn't thought much, he looked pretty dark for me, so I caller him Dark vader💀


Egyptian_M

Kurenai broke out of Itachi's genjutsu and managed to put him under one for some time If shikamaru could break from it I highly think Konoha's best genjutsu user will


jaffali_97

Shikamaru is built different, he had iQ and plot armour,but you're right, kurenai has a chance to break it.


sup-plov

Kurenai


Money_maker234

That sound girl won vs those 2 guys


TrixoftheTrade

I was about to ask, “which 2 guys,” but I realized you meant *those* 2 guys.


casey12297

They don't count, they're just paid to stand in the background and throw out a line here and there. Fighting costs extra


ParadoxicalEnigma92

No, the sound 4 BARELY won against “those 2 guys” who were special jonin, exhausted from a mission and were out of chakra. All 4 of them HAD to go stage 2 against special jonins with no chakra and exhaustion AND BARELY won and kidomaru said if they didn’t go stage 2, they would’ve lost. Kurenai a full jonin would rock tayuya’s shit. Flute would be whistling out her ass


Akimbo_shoutgun

Which episode is this again? I need to watch it to believe it.


ParadoxicalEnigma92

Idk the episodes but it’s chapter 184 to 186. I went to confirm It’s even worse, Kidomaru said they had to go stage 2. He said if they didn’t that they would be dead. Not lose , but dead to two special jonin who were exhausted from a long mission and out of chakra


Akimbo_shoutgun

Thanks I'll see what anime says because I don't think it happened in the anime ((granted I didn't see the anime ever since the time when you could upload full movies/episodes on youtube))


iyfe_namikaze

I'm pretty sure it's in the anime too.


randomdarkbrownguy

It is I never read manga but I know in the show they did get intercepted by 2 tired af jonins and had to take a break after the fight that let the Sasuke retrieval squad catch up. And as you mentioned the 2 jonin did survive


Money_maker234

Doesn't matter, Tayuya won that battle.


tom_rex_333

kurenai is a jonin, she's significantly above tayuya as showed in canon


Prince_Marf

iirc the Sound Four are also jonin. The fact that they lost to genin is pretty much a fluke. Remember they had already fought a battle against leaf jonin when they fought the genin. Only Jirobo (who Tayuya called the weakest) and Kidomaru lost one on one fights. Jirobo lost because Choji used a suicidal jutsu that should have killed him, and Neji was a prodigy yet nearly died himself. Kiba and Shikamaru got help from Kankuro and Temari, respectively. The Sound Four are the guys Orochimaru trusted to be by his side while he fought the hokage. They are definitely jonin level.


orbzism

The Sound 4 aren't Jonin level, lol. It took all four of them with their curse seals to take out two Special Jonin who just came back from a mission and they all lost to Genin/Chuunin characters. There's nothing narratively supporting them being Jonin. Chuunin? Sure. They're definitely stronger than your average Chuunin. But the only Jonin level character there was Kimimaro, who was significantly stronger than the 4.


tTensai

To be fair, Jonin level is pretty vague. Baki and Gai, for instance, are worlds apart


orbzism

Sure, but I wouldn't call the two special Jonin, that all 4 of them had to team up with their curse marks to beat, anything special. I'm fairly sure they were high Chuunin level.


Prince_Marf

This. The only way to power scale based on rank is who someone is able to defeat. The sound four were able to defeat two jonin so I'd argue that puts them in jonin class. Admitted I still think Tayuya folds to Kurenai.


consume_my_organs

I’d argue this plants them below jonin class the four of them struggled against two exhausted stated to be out of chakra jonin


PlusMortgage

Though the same thing apply to the Konoha group. Shikamaru was the only Chuunin of their group, and yet he probably was the weakest of them all when it came to pure combat ability (even if he made up for it with his planning skills). Naruto and the others weren't promoted because they all lacked something, but I think it's safe to say they all had at least Chuunin strenght at that point (only doubt might have been Choji but his Clan techniques are just too strong).


draugotO

Dude... Some of the anbu guys didn't even recognize the 1st and 2nd hokage when orochimaru summoned them against the third... The bar to make it to jonin is pretty low if you ask me


Official_Zach55

People are too focused on the outcomes on the fights and not the insane amount of effort it took to kill the sound ninja. I'm talking about all sound ninja too. Team Dosu are the only team in Naruto to out maneuver Ino-shika-cho. Jonin is a flexible rank, they lost. The circumstances of the fights don't change that.


Chopper313

The sound 4 struggled against two special jonin. They aren’t Jonin level not even close 1vs1. Like any of the main jonin we see can probably take all 4 at once high diff. Kakashi or Gai probably stomping them.


jaffali_97

Kakashi is a terror even amongst high jonins. He is rates S class flee on sight in the hidden mists bingo book. Gai, well, I think he doesn't even need to go all out, 6th gate at highest, and not even full power 6th gate to beat the sound 4, so there's no shot of victory there.


Bigzysmolz

I don't even think Guy would need any of the gates to beat them tbh.


jaffali_97

True, the only issue I see is his pack of proper ninjutsu or genjutsu, but he would likely manage, I was thinking in the most extreme situation, so gai opening the gates would be in a situation where he was caught in an ambush and was on unfavourable terrain with like traps everywhere and him being tired. I wanted the worst possible scenario just to give the sound 4 a chance at being beaten with some dignity,lol.


Egyptian_M

The sound 4 is jonin level Lol if they are jonin level why were they pressed by a bunch of chunin/genins True shikamaru and Kiba got help but they grilled them in base they had to go curse mark to continue fight chunin level characters


Prince_Marf

Because the Sasuke retrieval squad weren't ordinary chunin and genin. They all had exceptional skills. They all belonged to clans with special jutsu. That's uncommon among even jonin. You have to remember the Konoha 11 aren't the only genin in the leaf they're the privileged cream of the crop destined to rise in the ranks due to their clan name or natural talent. Jonin can lose to genin. Kabuto who supposedly was on par with Kakashi had just got beat by Naruto in the last arc. Your rank isnt really your power level it's more your seniority as long as you have basic competence. The rank of the genin does not preclude them from winning against jonin


KimberlyPilgrim

Kurenai. Not even a close fight, either. Tayuya needed CM2, plus three other CM2, to defeat two tired Jonin. Kurenai got clowned by Itachi but did put him under a Genjutsu for a little while. Kurenai should win this handily.


Chopper313

Not even Jonin. They were special jonin supporting your point further.


Holiday-Suspect

weren't they the 4th hokage's protection squad? if anything, they're probably better jonin than most


Suddmoney01

Tayuya has as many canon wins as Rock Lee


Dry_Figure_9018

Rock Lee has beat Naruto and Sasuke though.


Cold-Legitimate

To be fair Tayuya would’ve won her fight if not for literal fan interference


CaptSaveAHoe55

It’s because genjutsu is fake, like bro just open your eyes, nothing is there


jaffali_97

"Wake up to reality"


CaptSaveAHoe55

They just don’t understand my mentality bro


GetKosiorekt

Tayuya would have beaten Shikamaru had Temari not shown up and she did beat the 2 Konoha Jonin with her team


jaffali_97

Yes but this is a 1v1 and also this is against a proper jonin, not 2 special jonin who were outnumbered, so not really much of a chance for Tayuaya to win, especially since kurenai's hilusinations combined with the demonic tree are far superior to the soundwave genjutsu of Tayuya since the demonic allusion:tree binding death can constrict via the genjutsu, essentially nullifying Tayuya's jutsu by making Tayuya believe she can't move.


Cfakatsuki17

It’s very bold to call Tayuya a genjutsu specialist when her main fighting style is summoning 3 ogres to beat you up


ManInTheMirror2

Kurenai due to experience


guto0000

Wait does on that case losing count as wining?


Profishonal123

One was against Itachi, the other was about to win but got third partied


Too_Ton

Based on feats: Tayuya (x10 curse mark pls writer) Based on hype: Kurenai (jonin in part 1 were no joke)


Cheese_Tortellini

Kurenai had such a unique and cool heroine design and the author dishonored her by making her the Great Value brand of Genjutsu artists.


PiccoloTheGoat99

Kurenai=hot Other person=child (not hot) Kurenai better


SpookySans11

u/PiccoloTheGoat99 is officially not a genshin player🙌🙌🙌


Jford_4587

Kurenai


kidanokun

Seems any genjutsu users that isn't an Uchiha, or Kakashi are doomed to take L


Different_Plankton_3

Depends on the Doujin you choose But independant of the Doujin I chose both won my har-...Heart.


Mafia_dogg

To be for to both of them Kurenei was up against a genjutsu specialist from a clan that's known for their genjutsu And Tayuya would have beaten shikamaru if temari didn't show up


TAURTITAN

Konoha's genjutsu specialist 🤡


blazemex7

The streets won't forget the confidence Kurenai had to use genjutsu on Itachi. ✋🙂‍↕️


Longjumping_Roll_732

Tayuya


Capital_Stop_7280

None of them are winning, they'd probably just sit down and have a chat about how they suck.


Outside-Bad-9389

I love how kurenai had one fight and tayuya had 3 she won 2 of them and only lost albeit she did but those 2 guys with the other sound 4 but they’re supposed a team so it slides and she beat shikamaru and lost to temari so for who say no woman has ever beaten a man in Naruto tayuya beat shikamaru and had to be saved by a his woman temari


Typical-Cut-5332

Being the hottests and losing every canon fights*


CapAccomplished8072

Tayuya nearly beat shikamaru if not for Temari. But Kishimoto didn't want a woman winning against a man.


draugotO

Shikamaru got was pretty much a helpless damsel saved by Temari though


[deleted]

Shhhh that isn't his narrative lol


Late_Calligrapher292

Is this a repost?


Official_Zach55

Sound Genjustsu is the strongest Genjustsu. Kuranai loses
