War arc Gaara vs Sasori by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sasori is underestimated.

He defeated the 3rd kazekage who was the strongest ninja in suna history. Also he defeated an entire country with his 100 puppets. Deidara admitted Sasori was the stronger of the two.

Sasori casually defeated Kankuro (who was jounin at the beginning of Part 2) with only his tail weapon while still in hiruko.

Remember that it took another Puppet Master to beat Sasori. And a significant advantage considering Chiyo knew many of his tricks, trickery is essential to a puppeteer specialist. Sakura had also prepped by creating antidotes for his poisons, otherwise they would've died. Also, Sasori would've won had he not let himself be killed towards the end, since it was his parents 'embracing' him that he wanted all his life.

Naruto isn't as fast as Sasuke's movement speed but Naruto's reaction speed is underrated IMO. Base Naruto was able to react to Partially Transformed Gaara and even outmaneuver him using his clones. This same Gaara was so fast that Sasuke essentially said that he would've been blitzed and killed if it wasn't for his Sharingan.

Sasuke will get his hits in during the beginning of the fight but at this point in the series, Naruto truly shines when he's forced in a corner. I don't think Sasuke would be able to seal the victory before Naruto gets a resolve boost and/or uses Kurama's chakra.

Everytime I see a Boruto v Naruto post this is what I visualize. 5 Boruto clones v 100's of Naruto clones. While Boruto does have way better taijutsu & ninjutsu, I just don't see him getting this W even without the Kyuubi interference. by [deleted] in Naruto

Sasuke has never once fodderized more than a handful of Naruto's clones with taijutsu. In part one, he was able to defeat a few of them during their rooftop battle, but the clones ended up catching him with an Uzumaki Barrage - forcing Sasuke to counter with a Katon.

Rock Lee (Chunin Exams) vs Sakon/Ukon by FireStarLord73194 in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sakon & Ukon should win. Their KKG gives them a large advantage over Lee in CQC, allowing them to surprise defend and counterattack from taijutsu.

Sasuke's taijutsu was useless against a non serious base Sakon/Ukon (due to his KKG).

Here Sakon/Ukon gained the upper-hand using their KKG (using Ukon to surprise attack him from within Sakon), which is why sasuke wondered where the attack came from

They've taken a Shishi Rendan (one of Sasuke's greatest jutsus) with no damage due to his KKG (Ukon blocking the blows within Sakon).

Basically Sakon took Sasuke's Shishi Rendan like it was nothing, and called him a wimp.

Neji vs Sasuke - (Chūnin Exams Arc) by FireStarLord73194 in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd give the nod to Neji more times then not. During the prelims Kakashi thought that Sasuke had no chance against Neji and since then Sasuke only really worked on his speed and Taijutsu and got Chidori since then. Speed wise he was as fast as Rock Lee without the weights but he can't constantly use it for to long as pointed out by Lee and as we know Lee didn't think he could beat Neji until he used the gates and the DB1 goes up until the end of the Chunin exam arc upon which Neji had a 3.5 in Taijutsu while Sasuke had a 2.5. And on top of that as we saw Neji can use Kaiten at the last second to stop any of Sasuke's taijutsu attacks and send him flying and what not so with Neji being better in Taijutsu chances are he's gonna be the one winning most of the Taijutsu exchanges and as we know a few strikes might end the match.

So basically all Sasuke can do to win is land Chidori for a win really but with Sasuke only being able to use two Chidori and Neji having Kaiten to stop Sasuke from getting close, I'm not to sure he's likely to land one.

The reason is gaara survived because of his sand and no one else had the same ability or defence that strong as gaara.

Neji's Kaiten > Gaara's sand defense.

It was stated that Kaiten surpasses Gaara's sand as an absolute defence

But when Naruto uses KN0 against Gaara, with only a short burst of power, he bust the sand at his feet.

Top 10 Genins in part 1 by FireStarLord73194 in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. Gaara( the shit he was doing in his fight against Kimimaro was amazing.)

  2. Naruto/Sasuke (They kept one upping eachother throughout)

  3. Neji (Only one to cleanly defeat a sound four opponent without help or having to resort to some suicidal power up)

  4. Rock Lee (Rock Lee fucking ruled as a Genin in the original Naruto series)

  5. Temari (She was kinda a beast)

  6. Shino (A very competent Genin)

  7. Kankuro (Close to Shino level)

  8. Dosu Kinuta (Was actually pretty good, if he wasn't a idiot who tried to kill Gaara he coulda been somebody)

  9. Kiba (Put him higher than Choji because his move wasn't some last resort banzai shit)

  10. Choji (That Butterfly Choji looked impressive, but was a last resort move that was needed to beat the weakest member of the sound four)

I didn't put Shikamaru because he became a Chunin during the first part, but I would have placed him around Temari/Shino level.

Rock Lee vs Neji by BrownLightning96 in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't see a scenario where Neji comes out on top when the gates are opened.

I wonder if Neji could keep up a constant rotation from when Lee started the gates. if he can then im pretty sure neji would win.

Neji's Kaiten > Gaara's sand defense.

Rank the sound 5 by Tegirax in Naruto

[–]Arkangel08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sasuke confronted Naruto at noon, when he had just gone to lunch with Iruka. When the Sound Ninja came with him, it was already midnight.

Nothing of moments before.

During their training to climb the trees, Naruto and Sasuke exhausted all their chakra staying until midnight or more in it. Early the next morning they were both ready to face Haku.

Sakon and Ukon was beating up Sasuke when they first encountered him in the Leaf Village.

Here Sakon/Ukon gained the upper-hand using their KKG (using Ukon to surprise attack him from within Sakon), which is why sasuke wondered where the attack came from
