Did Karin downgrade Akatsuki?

[katon_style]

except sensing we haven't seen her doing nothing.always shouting.Saved several times by sasuke until he was pissed of and decided to stab her.even suigetsu and juugo arent so far from her but if we compare a new akatsuki member like Karin with the old ones like sasori deidara hidan etc than it must have been well for kishi to rename this organisation of MISSING NINS like KARIN.who hates her like me let's explode here lol

not really she saved sasukes life many times he healed him after the fight with bee, against the kages and against danzou. yet sasuke betrayed her. and made him look like a complete traitor after all she did for him.

Suigetsu, Juugo and Karin weren't Akatsuki, they were more like potential rookies, but they weren't quite Akatsuki yet. They didn't have the same coat, they didn't have the ring. Sasuke was the Akatsuki prospect, the three others were his underlings. If they had proven to be reliable, Tobi could have take them into his organisation, but they failed to capture Killer Bee and failed to stand out at the Kage summit. Sasuke and Tobi trashed them, they were never Akatsuki, they were just Hebi/Taka.

of course they weren't at a member's level(especially karin),but they weren't in Akatsuki either.

Sasuke and co ween´t actual akatsuki members, they were merely affiliated to it IMO. Karin isn´t even a proper combat ninja, she is a medic and a detector. That said, she is probably world class at both, detecting and healing, and if akatsuki were to need someone to do those jobs they´d be lucky to have karin.

Sasuke would've died so many times if not for Karin. She was essential to the team. Not all ninjas have to be combat specialists. Ninja are not merely warriors. Ninja have to be adept as espionage, tracking, etc. Karin has to be one of the best trackers in the series. She can detect chakra to a degree only outshined by the likes of Zetsu, she can hide her own chakra to a degree only outshined by Muu, and she can detect subtle changes in chakra flow to the highest degree without having a Byakugan or Sharingan (as seen in their battle against Danzou). Also, her medical jutsu is far greater than even Tsunade's. She doesn't have to do anything per se, like using her chakra to eliminate poison or using a chakra scalpel or anything. All she has to do is have someone bite her and suck on her chakra and they're basically back from the dead. Look at what she did for Sasuke against Killer Bee and Danzou. Sasuke owed his life to Karin 3 times over. Hell, even him killing Danzou thru her was thanks to her. She being used as a bargaining chip was Danzou's true downfall. Danzou should've just bit her shoulder when he had the chance. That battle would've went in a totally different direction had he done that. Oh well... Uchiha Sasuke still breathes... If she's to be hated on, it should definitely be by Sasuke-haters.

I thought karin was a solid member of Hawk, but was she even a member of akatsuki? i mean she may have been alligned with the organisation but that doesnt mean she is part of it, two sides with same goal.

[Rikudou King]

I would say that Karin was enough of a member that she held enough knowledge of the group to warrant a death sentence.
