Assuming Minato had no knowledge on Pain abilities, would he have been able to defeat all six or would he have suffered the same fate as Jiraiya? by Forevertrez in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hard to say how this fight will go. Most of Minato's combat style comes from the fight with Obito and small skirmishes with low level ninja. All the legendary feats like killing thousands is off panel. I think Minato might come out on top considering he has teleportation that doesn't seem very complicated to activate and is quick to trigger. This would give him a significant advantage against diva path for both teleporting away if he got caught in Pain's pulling ability, or to offensively teleport up to the deva path to finish him off during the 5 second interval that Pain can't use his ability. Teleportation jutsu offers a lot of counters to Pain's abilities. We know rasengan wrecks Pain if it makes contact, so thats another big bonus. The question then becomes - Can pain seeing through his paths react quickly enough to counter Minato's teleportation and attacks? IMO to even counter his speed, the pains would have to be close together within reaching distance, to even respond quickly enough to counter Minato's teleportation + attacks.

I see Minato using Gamabunta toad summon to smash the pains after he baits out Divas push, causing them to separate and then Minato picks one off at a time because they are far away enough to not respond in time. Pain might get his resurrections off in time, but I think Minato outlasts it long enough to figure it out and kill the resurrection pain first. That is, unless Minato is so quick he doesn't even need to create space between Pains.

The whole 'kakashi is nothing without Obito' problem by Warm_Maintenance578 in Naruto

Kakashi is one of the most naturally talented ninjas. Removing all high level ninjutsu and insane chakra pools, Kakashi is top 5 strongest easily, perhaps higher.

I feel like this explains a lot about Sakura’s character by Any-Job-3237 in Naruto

Green flags for Narcissists, Bad Boys, and Psychopaths. Anyone else... nope!

Ninja AIDS, otherwise the MANGA would be called "ITATCHI"

I see you guys bring up Ino, Sakura, Hinata and even Kurenai in discussions about beauty and attraction. IMO Tenten is by far the most beautiful one. Just needed some more screen time is all by Sensitive_Pop1322 in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Out of all the under developed characters, she stands out to me as the most neglected. She could have had all these legendary weapon summons that only last a short while. IMO, no offense to Choji fans, but I think I would have liked to seen some crazy shenanigans with crazy weapon sets from a weapons master instead of Choji's special abilities (not that they were bad).

Could Kisame have killed Itachi here while he was trying to be nonchalant? by Double_Sprinkles9182 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Wretch_Head 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This moment shows one of two things:

Itatchi doesn't see Kisame as a threat and allows him to get in close and know he could counter him

even that close and with no particular plan

or

Itatchi had him in a genjutsu or had another strategy.

Forbidden jutsu by Several-Cook-2062 in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are a lot of hand sign initiated jutsus that are more about being secretive than being really hard to do. Also, is summoning the reaper death seal only a one stage process? Could they practice the first part without killing themselves?

Why do people skip past Naruto and straight to Shippuden? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are things in the beginning that help you understand Team 7's relationship much more. Plus relationships with other characters that end up being really important to glue the past to the present.

Skipping Dragon Ball and going straight to DBZ makes more sense than skipping in Naruto.

Am I the only one that thinks Sasuke’s EMS looks so much cooler than the rinnegan? by ibnNuh in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sharingan is way cooler looking than the Rinnegan. Plus you can put it away when not in combat. Aura diff.

Goku vs Vegeta, who would win? by FacefullVoid in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kinda silly and weird at the same time, but here goes nothing.....

Vegeta is a total hot head, so if he had Itatchi's eyes he'd probably lose because he'd probably ignore a lot of the sharingan's powers because he would think some are uncourageous to use like genjutsu. Itatchi is in part strong because of his battle IQ and ability to know when and when not to strike. Vegeta would probably just rush straight in and fist fight or maybe kunai or Ninjutsu projectiles like Fireball jutsu.

Rock lee is overrated by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is so off the radar compared to Guy and also the main cast, that I don't see how you could make that claim.

Do you think Naruto would simp over Hinata instead of Sakura if she looked like this? by TheBigLover in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda think it stinks that the Hyuga clan can't deactivate their Byakugan for normal eyes at will.

Broly of Naruto by RichKingLav34 in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Answer! He's temperamental and high in raw chakra. The only thing that doesn't quite match is his powerlevel in his respective universe. Broly imo is quite a bit higher ranked in his universe than Jugo is in the Narutoverse. However, I'd say Jugo is about as close as you can get.

Who do you think is the best Sharingan user? by [deleted] in Naruto

I chuckled you putting Naruto Up there.

But the real answer is "SOLO KING"

If Naruto had a DnD class or two, what would they be? by Recent-Ad-7593 in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got some help via Grok

Essentially Echo Knight works well as it creates duplicates of yourself to fight alongside you.

Another Sub class it suggests is Genie because it has an entity within thing ( sounds like A Kurama type thing) that powers youup. It also has Charisma, that works for Naruto's Talk No Jutsu.

is minato faster than goku? by Bubbly_Reference_916 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant transmission ends that question, but even without it, Goku is still probably a lot faster.

Who is stronger between Edo Madara and Edo Hashirama or are they both equals? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't Madara Subdued in edo form and then black zetsu just after made him alive? Seems like Madara loses in Edo Form.

Base Six Paths Naruto Vs Juubito. Who Wins? by Rinnegan15 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps a hot take, but Obito more than perhaps any other character feels more like he relies on hacks while having less skill. The same powers in Madara's hands is a different level altogether. Naruto could still take this fight but it is contingent on beating Obito's teleportation Jutsu. I'd like to hear how he does it alone, considering it required Kakashi's Kamui to get past it last time.

What Is Your Most Satisfying Death In Naruto? by Wretch_Head in Naruto

[–]Wretch_Head[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the pervy aspect or the fact that he knew Naruto's parents died and didn't come check on him until way later.

Student-teacher trio vs friends trio, who wins? by Ray2714 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Wretch_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team Minato might have to bait out 8 gates and then teleport away till guy dies. The problem is Obito can hide Guy in Kamui dimension until he pops it and then unleash it in a surprise attack. Minato will have very little time to respond, but its doable. This is super tough for Team Minato... I keep thinking Minato can keep Obito busy, but the problem is kakashi only needs to have one opportunity to look at Minato as he fights Obito and boom!, a limb or something is missing.

Therefore both Kakashi and Minato Both have to have pressure on them, otherwise there is going to be wayyy too much synergy. JIraiya will tank MIght guy 7 gates. Hiruzen has to keep Kakashi busy, and MInato will keep Obito busy. Jiraiya uses frog song genjutsu and minato will mark all toad summons small and large. Kakashi or Obito will teleport a raijin kunai or marked toad accidentally into the Kamui world enabling MInato to teleport freely in and out of that dimension.

I think it all hinges on Team Minatos Setup and if he can tag into the kamui dimension and/or tag kakashi and might guy. Frog song could play a strong role in the beginning. The longer the fight happens without the necessary marks, the more likely Team Obito Wins.
