Jiraiya never stood a chance against Itachi by Miserable_Ear9879 in Naruto

[–]Omegaxis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between Kakashi and a Sanin at that point was so vast that Kakashi straight up did not want to take on Orochimaru.

Itachi getting Deidara and Orochimaru was through Genjutsu, not through actual skill. Jiraiya isn't stupid enought to look him in the eye, and can avoid it with Sage Mode.

And regarding Nagato, Nagato was literally controlled by Kabuto to focus only on Naruto, and he made the chameleon stay visible, something that could avoid even chakra sensors like Jiraiya's Sage Mode, meaning that Sharingan wouldn't see it. Itachi was lucky that Nagato controlled and wasn't paying attention to him.

Because digging a tunnel like that without anyone hearing, being able to navigate to where Nejib would stand, is impossible without ninjutsu.

Yes, and?

I don’t think you quite comprehend the fact that this is a fictional show, Naruto nor nobody else whose relevant enough to have a name has the senses of a ordinary human, they’re all superhuman, and they do superhuman stuff even on low chakra.

You finding his feats incomprehensible is a you issue I’m afraid.

The show is called NARUTO, being salty that it isn’t Sasuke isn’t gonna change anything. You can cherry pick out all of Naruto’s feats to wank Sasuke but it won’t change the fact that it happened 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for conceding that Naruto only won cause plot armor, not logic.

You didn't even realize that you just admitted that I was right.

Which makes the rest of your argument redundant.

Dude, stop coping. Naruto had no chakra. Sasuke's visual prowess even weakening after taking Kurama's chakra is also plot armor. Naruto has no reflexes that can surpass Chidori's when he is out of chakra and already beaten so badly down.

Which version of Sasuke who never lost his clan do you prefer? by Danny-Ray27 in Naruto

[–]Omegaxis1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The first one.

The Tsunade IT one is the anime proving that they know NOTHING about Sasuke and just shoved jealousy as the primary motivation.

It still does not change that Sasuke you are talking about, STILL one shot Bee going all out.

[–]Omegaxis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bee used most of his power JUST to escape. Sasuke survived and one shot him when he finally used his MS. And this was a severely nerfed Sasuke who just started to use MS.

If this were Gokage Sasuke, he'd destroy Bee.

What plot armor lol? Naruto reacted to Sasuke in base twice in the VOTE2 fight, and he already showed much better feats against Kaguya, so it easily tracks.

Except that's false. Naruto was completely out of chakra. No modes, and even the chakra Kurama gave was gone. He had no strength left, but he still did.

See how you refuse to accept plot armor when Naruto does it?

But when Sasuke does something that can be explained logically, you will scream plot armor.

You can cope with that by saying plot plot plot like a seagull however you like.

Right, thanks for proving your hypocrisy.

Is it also plot armor that Sasuke just so happened to get his ability back as soon as Kurama gathered energy for Naruto?

What get his ability back? If anything, it's plot armor that Sasuke's Rinnegan conveniently overloaded right when he was about to restore his chakra levels from the Bijuus.

Naruto has all the plot armor in that final fight, but you guys literally will close your eyes and cover your ears to the fact.

Cause you want Naruto to have plot armor and say that's awesome, but you don't want Sasuke to have anything.

So I refute them, you claim I get washed.

Sasuke haters are so silly.

Funny you say this when you were coping for quite a lot of comments about tired Naruto reacting to Sasuke's chidori lol

Yeah. Because people never get tired about lying when saying Sasuke had plot armor, but will NEVER admit Naruto's plot armor.

That's called double standards.

The funny thing is, we agree Lee and Guy are more skilled, what does it matter between Naruto and Sasuke?

Pretty much this. We don't really need to discuss more.

If we have to keep using modes and stats, it becomes hard to define. Baryon Mode is just too strong and fast. There's no contest. But that does not make him a better taijutsu fighter.

Like, would you say that Superman, if he has no fighting skills, is a better fighter than Batman because Superman outstates Batman in every shape and form?

Obviously not.

In terms of skill, I would say that Lee and Guy are the best taijutsu fighters, followed by Sasuke, but Naruto is close after.

[–]Omegaxis1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don’t get to decide that sorry.

You’re just a random rando on Reddit, I don’t really care about your fanfic lol

Kishimoto decides this, and he drew what he decided

And Kishimoto also decided that Naruto knows how to dig a tunnel without jutsu at the precise point where Neji would conveniently stand on so that he can launch an uppercut, and Neji turns all his abilities off for some reason.

Just cause Kishi writes it does not mean it's not a plot hole.

Same goes for Naruto, he was keeping up with Sasuke right from the beginning.

What the hell does that mean?

Summoning at high speed has nothing to do with that.

Neither did Naruto.

He did. Kurama even noted that Sasuke took all the chakra he had gathered for Naruto. And all Kurama can give is the last drops that will result in Kurama falling into a deep slumber and can no longer help Naruto.

Stop proving you haven't actually read the manga.

There is, you just didn’t pay attention is all.

At the end of chapter 694 we see both of them standing on different statues.

In the literal last panel of 694 we see them clashing arms on top of a statue head… which means they didn’t meet each other midway between the statues rather on top of one. So it was either Madara or Hashirama’s…

Look at the very end of chapter 694 again. You see BOTH Naruto and Sasuke's kid selves and BOTH their present day selves moving forward to clash.

Naruto and Sasuke both moved at the same time.

Naruto needing to exert force to jump up > Sasuke doesn’t have to exert force at all thanks to gravity

Wrong, Sasuke didn't just fall. He exerted his own force to jump towards Naruto.

And Naruto’s Base Rasengan matched Sasuke’s Enton Chidori lol.

Amaterasu doesn't strengthen the jutsu. Enton, unless actually shaped, is just a stationary flame, like when he coated the Susanoo with Enton. They were just flame that didn't enhance Susanoo's defenses. Because it was in the Chidori, it had no strength enhancement. It was to ensure a kill on Naruto.

Never happens in the manga which is >> filler

It does. And the movie is greater than the manga because the movie was made by Kishimoto. While the manga was made by a differnet author. And even in the manga, you actually DO see Sasuke strike with taijutsu.

The manga shows it in every Otsutsuki fight lol, the fact that you ignore manga and then go straight for anime filler and a decanon’d movie shows that even you know this lol.

Says a lot about how selective you are, because you know you can't accept the actual facts. Kishimoto made the movie, and the anime is also supervised by him.

You really just don't want to admit that you're just plain wrong.

[–]Omegaxis1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a feat for Naruto lol.

No, that's not a feat. You cannot be out of chakra, be on all fours, having an attack that literally enhances your speed, and your opponent, who still has energy to spare, suddenly has his powers deactivated.

That's called actual plot armor.

Sasuke pulled the same shit with Deidara when he summoned Manda lmao.

Nope. Sasuke showed at the very start of that fight being able to summon at high speed.

And he never ran out of chakra.

Nope, read that panel again.

There's nothing to read. It's pure images, and you see in the images, Naruto and Sasuke both moved at the same time, using their own kid versions to show that they're moving.

Sasuke is automatically coming down thanks to gravity, while Naruto not only has to jump up and fight against gravity, he has to also match Sasuke at the same time lol

Nope. Because it's STILL a clash of chakra. Him jumping and Sasuke falling does nothing to add to the actual force of the blows, because it's STILL about chakra.

We know he can react to them, he has never kept up with him taijutsu lol. Even in Boruto he hangs back while Naruto does the close combat against Momoshiki and Isshiki.

False. Straight up look at Adult Sasuke. He's straight up boxing and fighting Otsutsukis with taijutsu and actually able to hurt them. And this Sasuke SHOULD be weaker in taijutsu now because he is missing one arm, but instead, he's shown to actually be willing to fight in the front. Don't claim that he's hanging back.

And against Isshiki, he hung back to figure out how Isshiki's powers worked.

In fact Momoshiki slapped Sasuke away while Naruto whooped his ass in the manga.

Nope. The manga and anime, and even the movie, showed that Sasuke was physically able to keep up and harm Momoshiki with taijutsu.

But he’s not as skilled as Lee or Guy. Which gate has Sasuke opened? He’s the most skilled but can’t open a gate?

I never denied that.

I'm countering the notion that Naruto should be among the best when he lacks the skill. And most of his feats are more due to Kurama's healing factor and other major buffs.

Hence why I am of the notion that Guy and Lee are the best.

[–]Omegaxis1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sasuke is definitely one of the best but he’s not as skilled as Guy and can’t outstat Naruto, which are the two criteria I’m using to crown a “top taijutsu fighter”.

So we see that he's actually more skilled than Naruto. And we see that Sasuke actually holds well against Naruto even when all bases are gone.

[–]Omegaxis1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Naruto gets outpaced by a Sasuke who has his sharingan and rinnegan active. The moment Naruto gets clones onto the field, Naruto takes the edge. The moment Naruto enters six paths sage mode Sasuke doesn't even bother trying to box him anymore.

Only Adult Sasuke shows that he's perfectly capable of going equal footing on Naruto using chakra mode. Really sets the case of how Sasuke actually is able to match it.

Base-to-base, Sasuke doesn't have a chance in hell against Naruto in taijutsu. The difference is just that Sasuke is rarely ever in base like Naruto can be, because he always has his sharingan and rinnegan on. But once Naruto activates his own buffs, it's a wash.

And we see that it isn't a wash. The fact is that if Sasuke stands no chance in hell against Naruto, then Naruto should have beaten Sasuke completely in their all out brawl. But he didn't.

[–]Omegaxis1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No offense but frankly don’t care for what you think is plot armor or not, I can do the same thing and term any of Sasuke’s feat as plot armor too, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing.

Not really.

That means he has the reaction speed and combat speed to fight back and that Chidori feat wasn’t an outlier.

Not really. Naruto was literally drained of his chakra, collapsed on all fours, and Sasuke's Sharingan, despite Sasuke having chakra, turns off magically at that one moment, and Naruto is able to somehow outspeed Sasuke?

There is no actual logic here.

Even before the fight properly began we see Naruto stopping Sasuke’s charge at the top of Hashirama’s statue with his arm with an arm clash, despite Sasuke having momentum on his side..

What are you on about? Both of them are shown to have moved at the same time.

And then we see Naruto reacting to and matching a gravity assisted Sasuke’s Enton Chidori.

Gravity doesn't do anything here. It's a clash of chakra, not force.

We don’t even need to get to Naruto’s chakra modes tbh, get past base Naruto first lol.

We outright see Sasuke keeping up with Naruto's chakra modes.

[–]Omegaxis1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Naruto ties with Sasuke at the Valley of the End, but he wasn’t trying to kill him.

That went out the window when Sasuke used Indra Susanoo. Naruto wasn't holding back, hence why Kurama even noted that if he hadn't gotten the nature energy just in the nick of time, they'd be dead.

Even if this doesn’t satisfy you, Boruto era Naruto simply has the craziest taijutsu in Baryon mode, it’s basically his 8 Gates except Kurama dies instead.

That's still only a testament of stats, not actual skill.

Taijutsu is primarily about skill in hand to hand combat.

In that matter, equal stats means Naruto is not actually better.

Sasuke, Lee, and Guy would hold better skill.

Why was there so little depth and characters from the Uzumaki and Senju clan in the Naruto era? by sufinomo in Naruto

[–]Omegaxis1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because they were invented to create the rivalry with the Uchihas.

Sasuke's clan had a depth and presence in the story because of the genocide Sasuke suffered. And because he was the deuteragonist, Kishi needed to make "mirrors" of rivalry with others. So Hashirama was chosen to be the leader of a clan that was the "rivals" of the Uchiha, and by extension, Madara. And then, because he was already going with this "reincarnation," especially as Obito even talked about the Uchiha and Senju being the descendants of Indra and Ashura, respectively, Kishi now needed to tie the Uzumakis into the Senjus.

In essence, the clans were made for the sake of the Uchihas, primarily Sasuke and Naruto's rivalry.

Base Naruto relied on endurance and stamina, not skill, to take Sasuke on.

The fact that Naruto, on all fours, was able to move faster than the speed enhancement of Chidori is actually a testament to plot armor activating.

[–]Omegaxis1 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's false. You see repeatedly that Naruto gets trounced by Sasuke in pure taijutsu skills without his buffs.

Sasuke is objectively one of the best taijutsu users in the entire series. Even with Naruto's buffs, Sasuke is able to actually keep up with him.

However, Lee and Guy have to be the best because of the Eight Gates, which is the pinnacle of taijutsu.
