DEIDARA!
Itachi's one of the more popular and well-liked characters, and I have nothing against him. He's actually one of my favorites as well, but Deidara has a much more colorful personality and he had to work for where he is right now. Itachi was born with natural talent and he didn't have to work hard to be one of the best. Deidara on the other hand did in fact have to work for it. Deidara's the youngest member of the Akatsuki, which is quite an accomplishment. He became an S-class at probably around the age of 13-15, maybe younger, so he's obviously quite skilled. He's cocky and sarcastic, and loves taking on challenges. He's not afraid to argue his side in an argument and is extremely dedicated, mostly to his art. He had the potential to take down Gaara one on one and to nearly kill Sasuke, which is saying something. He was shown to have extreme stamina; he was able to keep on going after taking on Gaara, participating in the Bijuu sealing, fighting Kakashi and Naruto, losing both arms, and running from Team Gai when they were on his tail. Although he was weak in Taijutsu, his other skills greatly compensated for that fact. He was also able to train his left eye to counter Genjutsu, which isn't something just anybody can do. All in all, Deidara is pretty powerful and not given enough credit, which is one of the reasons I support him so much.
