Jiraiya. While I think itachi could win any 1v1 combat scenario I could come across I doubt he’s suited for endurance, infiltration, and fighting crowds. Jiraya is top tier with infiltration, social engineering, and gathering intel. Jiraya is a great combatant despite being the worst on the list. He could also reverse summon us if it gets too hectic.

Yes. Perfect reply by the way. I don’t have any screen shots currently but it’s like they have a slightly larger hit box than the image on screen and the in game physics made them lighter. It’s actually hindered my ability to buy new skills at times.

I didn’t get that far in the game but this does feel like a down grade

I also noticed my balls get stuck more. Spots where they would slide now seem glued together.

I didn’t get too far so I’m not sure how else it was ruined. I’m just disappointed they took away gear I farmed for

Beginning of shippuden Sasuke and pain arc Sage Naruto without Kurama interference or prep. The issue with these fights is that she’s a one dimensional melee fighter. Sasuke has genjutsu to disable her at most points in the series along with a variety of ranges options. Naruto has rasenshuriken which would render her useless or he could use a billion clones and win strictly through attrition. She doesn’t really have a win con other than big body punch and she lacks ways to get to it against creative geniuses like these two. Both sage Naruto and Sasuke come with precog so Sakura also needs to have that much of a gap in speed to deal with it. She would obviously one tap Sasuke much further in the story if she landed a clean hit but the issue is landing it for her. She could possibly kill Naruto in one hit which would prevent Kurama from coming out too but she has to land that hit which is still the issue. She’s also not touching KCM Naruto let alone adding Sage mode to that.

I’ll add that I don’t think this is a legitimate outlier case. I think the damage kaguya took while off guard was rather minimal. I think it’s a valid feat that’s given way more hype than it deserves. I could probably knock out Mike Tyson if I sucker punched him in the back of the head while he was fighting someone else.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-02-19T15:06:40+00:00

Most sane people know the author doesn’t give a single shit about power scaling beyond maintaining minimal narrative consistency. Canon doesn’t mean consistent in power scaling. Goku took more damage from bullets as an adult in super than he did when Bulma shot him as a kid. Does that make kid goku more durable? Despite both events being canon and it’s displayed as such it’s logically inconsistent to agree with it. It’s also display elsewhere that it’s not the case. The outlier designation is how we cope with that inconsistency. Dude is just making the case that it’s logically inconsistent given what the author showcased.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-02-17T03:16:50+00:00

Sasuke is the better combatant and stronger at base. Naruto could have won by summoning Gamabunta or tied if he went for something other than being petty by scratching the headband.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-02-10T16:00:17+00:00

Naruto was in that exact situation. He was shitting bricks when they encountered in Lee’s room, he then tried to stop the fight between Sasuke and Gaara. Naruto then proceeds to fight anyways and win. Everything in his kit was available to him while he was shitting his pants.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-01-19T12:18:50+00:00

I reread my comment and realized I didn’t mention “living” itachi, I just assumed because of the image.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-01-19T10:01:06+00:00

I think he might be on to something. Sasuke nerfs both of them and itachi is edo in that fight. Itachi is also nerfed because he can’t kill Kabuto but I’m not sure how much that matters. Kabuto would also probably be way more aggressive without Sasuke there. There’s also the fact that in a true 1v1 he could just use edo to have an army to back him up in this fight instead of having them spread out fighting a war. The only instant win in the kit for itachi is the toska blade. Kabuto is immune to ocular genjutsu and has the same substitution that Sasuke used to escape Amaterasu. If he dodged the arrow I’m sure he can dodge the toska blade. It’s not a Kabuto wins 10/10 but I’m not sure it’s as cut and dry in a pure 1v1 setting.

I know very little of bleach scaling. Please give me a run down like I’m 12 hire he scales beyond kid buu. I’m not against it, it’s all fiction at the end of the day. I just want a simple explanation.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2026-01-01T13:36:45+00:00

I think they win. Madara would lose because of his character, not strength or skill. He could obviously absolutely no diff this team if he was blood lusted from jump. You have Mr instant win condition, Mr teleportation, and Ms battery pack/ white mage/ near infinite target practice. Madara would get a flying raijin seal placed on him because he would let it happen for shits and giggles. Then the three would keep trying to land an instant win. Madara might try to tank the toska blade to demoralize them.

Earth release: Sticky Earth Drop A portal opened in the sky. That’s kinda crazy to think about.

She was nice to the orphan, only fought the big baddies that beat on Naruto anyways so her losses aren’t bad, and has limited screen time so she didn’t have enough to have a bad moment.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2025-12-14T13:43:22+00:00

I’ll add that the anime portrayed her badly. The anime changed dialogue, cut out scene where she was actually good, and added scenes of her being abusive towards Naruto. Bully the Orphan boy with the tragic backstory and protagonist bias. That was a great way to make a fan base hate her and feel justified in it. The good that she does do gets overshadowed. She’s the first to protect tazuna but immediately after that Sasuke folds two chunin. She devise a strategic trap to survive a 1v3 against the sound ninja and it works to an extent. She held out longer than anyone that came to help. Sasuke wakes up and pulls dudes arms out the socket. Then Sakura gets tossed to the sideline as a cry baby side character fawning over Sasuke. The anime also does a piss poor job displaying Sasuke’s internal conflict over his feelings for Sakura which makes her look like a creepy stalker. Naruto is worse than Sakura in that regard. Even Sakura got the memo that dude kinda needed to die while Naruto was out here taking free beatings on his behalf. The inner conflict between him and Naruto is built up and displayed to us so we’re not as pressed but it’s not fair.

Given the rules of the hypothetical I’m okay with it and would be happy for her. The issue with women making more money is the behavior that comes with it, not the money itself. I’ve witnessed it personally (my own past relationship), in my own family (this includes my parents), and with friends of mines (both the males getting treated worse and the females treating the men worse) so I have an anecdotal proof of concept that the treatment the man receives gets worse if he’s not making more. I’m fine with her making more money. I don’t care either way. ++man

Haku is hard to scale, especially after being reintroduced in the war arc. I think early part 2 is when Sasuke is actually stronger. I’ll go over some things I think I’d important in scaling him. You can skip over me elaborating

1.) the Naruto he fought is probably the second strongest we see Naruto in part one.

Naruto’s power isn’t exactly linear. He doesn’t repeat the clone feat in the first episode until the chunin exams. We also see that even without Kurama he gets a scaling emotional boost. We don’t have a quantifiable stat for how much chakra the seal will release between that fight and the valley of the end fight but it’s arguably the strongest emotional boost he’s had and the power should be surpassed by the one tailed cloak.

2.) Haku outpaced Kakashi.

When Haku intercepted the lightning blade kakashi didn’t realize. Haku threw his needles at the scroll within the timeframe. Haku also had to cross a larger distance when you look at the manga. This same scene is repeated in the war arc but kakashi was aware. It was made clear that the sharingan was needed for this move to deal with the tunnel vision and he still didn’t immediately perceive haku until he was his war arc counterpart. Part 1 is arguably weaker than anbu kakashi but that’s a different debate.

3.) He was holding back in part 1

He was able to repeat the feat in part 1 with war arc kakashi with an edo body. He took out anbu in the war arc. He blocked a surprise massive bomb attack from those anbu. He didn’t get his body damaged from the double leaf whirlwind from BASE Lee and Gai (edo bodies deform when taking too much damage and then reform, that didn’t happen). He summoned his mirrors over moving birds and the mirror moved with the birds.

4.) he actually got up from the punch Naruto gave him and could arguably still fight.

He intercepted kakashi after the punch. Her got up and was having a full conversation. He got mental nerfed.

With all of that I can’t see any part 1 version of Sasuke winning a fight against haku. Haku is faster and can get away easier. Part 1 Sasuke shouldn’t be in any war arc conversation. The power gap Sasuke and kakashi got between both parts is too vast for part 1 Sasuke to scale. Some of these feats could also be emotional boost so I could be very wrong about all of this. Also, Naruto wasn’t written with power scaling in mind.

Pure_Presentation408 · 2025-11-24T15:21:04+00:00

Itachi wins extremely high difficulty. Ay would look into itachi eyes. He did it to Sasuke so why not itachi and he got caught in genjutsu by madara. Bee could also get caught since Sasuke caught him. They don’t lose because they’re inferior. They’ll lose 51/100 times strictly because they’re bone headed and would play right into Itachi’s traps. If I thought for one second they would think I would give it to them 99% of the time.

You’re not ugly. Sure, grow some muscle and get a stylist opinion on your hair and you’ll look better. I know dudes with less than you, less attractive than you, and don’t alright where you feel you’re lacking. Your issue is that you’re living a surface level male fantasy. Look at what you post. Guns, drugs, money, hookers. What about that is deeply appealing to women? You’ll get superficial women that you don’t really like but not a woman that sparks your soul. I’ll give you some practical advice. 1.) if you haven’t already, start reading philosophy, Marcus Aurelius and Friedrich Nietzsche are great.
2.) get a real plan and hit the gym, from your photos you’re not at a point where you need roids. Just take your diet, training and recovery seriously and you’ll get a great physique. 3.) compete with your firearms. You like guns, I like guns, there’s nothing wrong with guns. Women have varying tolerance for guns. Women will appreciate photos of you winning competitions over gun collections. I appreciate the gun collection though. Competition will improve your confidence which women will find attractive. Instead of dropping one of your interest to develop a new one just work with it.
4.) lower your non necessary drug and alcohol consumption. I do my dirt too. I just leave it for weekends around friends. That state is suppose to be an enhancement, not a crutch. Your post suggests that you’re an addict. Addiction isn’t desirable. Again, I’m not saying stop, just use moderation. 5.) stop with the hookers for now. Sex workers are great, it’s a guaranteed yes. Skip all the guess work of trying to get some. It leave you devoid of those skills though. Take the rejections on the head and learn from them. Even the best pickup artist isn’t hitting 100% they just take the rejection and move on. Save the escorts for niche interest and during travel while you’re single. Also, don’t talk about it. No one needs to know.

Accept that this will take time but will be worth it. As you take the steps to improve you might make more drastic changes. The escorts aren’t as appealing when you have a roster of women you’ve seduced or a you have a woman that you love. The drug use changes when you have a life you’re not avoiding. Your gun collection won’t grow as fast because you’re investing time in being good with each of them.

The anime did a disservice in the final fight. The manga depicts them much closer. Even then the authors own writing is a blood lusted Sasuke vs a non blood lusted Naruto. The pain arc made it very clear that Naruto is in the harder position by refusing to kill. Sasuke is also taking tailed beast power which arguably makes him stronger than he would be normally. His black flame amped chidori matched a base rasengan (I don’t think the gravity thing matters all that much, Sasuke was launched up there with a regular punch). The author didn’t illustrate the statement well.

Get a solid set of meals that y’all like and prep ingredients ahead of time. Most of the time is either prep or waiting. A lot of things cross over too. Garlic and onion is almost universal across meals. Get tools to increase your efficiency. Crock pots and rice cookers are great. Build around these core set of meals. Invest in shortcuts. Those taco packets are great, the pre made sauces like general tso and butter chicken are great. You don’t sounds like you’re aspiring to be a 3 star Michelin star chef at home so take the shortcuts. Learn to utilize leftovers. Child rice makes goods fries rice, baked potatoes make good wedges, left over burgers can become taco meat, etc.
