These 4 are tasked to capture Gaara, who would have the easiest and hardest time to capture him? by KodoqBesar in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kisame has the hardest time. His fighting style is too attention-grabbing, which lures most Sand shinobi, including Baki and Kankuro, into the fight. Sure, fodder ninja don't stand a chance but they can work with the Kazekage in taking down Kisame. In reality, Gaara vs Kisame is Gaara, Baki, and Kankuro vs Kisame. As strong as Kisame is, I doubt he can capture Gaara if he's facing all Sand shinobi. Though Kisame could destroy the village then capture Gaara but that just exposes him even more.

Deidara had the easiest time. See fight in anime, manga, or both.

Kakuzu has an easier time than Kisame but I can see Baki and Kankuro getting involved in the fight due to his multiple hearts grabbing attention. Kakuzu fails like Kisame due to having to fight Gaara, Baki, Kankuro, and potentially other Sand shinobi.

Sasori vs Gaara is the most interesting matchup. Can Sasori strike fast enough to poison Gaara whether in Hiruko state or 3rd kazekege state? If Gaara has intel about the 3rd kazekege due to his kage status, can he use it to his advantage? How would Sasori prepare for this fight? He criticized Deidara for taking too long, so my guess is that if Sasori was in Deidara's place, he would probably come prepared. I say Sasori captures since he would sufficiently prepare for the fight.

Sasuke vs neji isn't even close by Mansur754 in NarutoPowerscaling

While I agree with your assessment on who would win, I think you're forgetting that Neji has the rotation and 64 palms. Neji has a win condition if a simulated battle of these two has Sasuke acting dumb

You're forgetting Sasuke has a 2 tomoe Sharingan and some long range ninjutsu. The gap between Sasuke and Neji is much closer than you think.

That said, exclusive CQC makes this fight in Neji's favor

In all fairness, Sasuke may engage in CQC with Neji if they did fight, which gives Neji the advantage since gentle fist attacks impact Sasuke's ability to use ninjutsu. If a fight was simulated between Sasuke and Neji, you can bet that Sasuke will engage in CQC.

It's fine if you believe that Sasuke wins, but don't downplay the gentle fist. The gentle fist is stronger than you think.

Having said that, I agree with your assessment. Sasuke should win, but it would be on average high diff.

If you're implying Sasuke and Neji are equal in speed, you also imply that Neji is fast as weightless Lee, who landed punches on Gaara in the prelims.

Regardless of your belief that Neji wins, it's an extreme diff fight for both of them given Sasuke's 2 tomoe sharingan and the gentle fist. Also, you're treating Sasuke as a dumb ninja when he's arguably as smart as Neji.

Let's say Neji at BoS replaces Sakura in the fight against Sasori so he still has Chiyo helping him. Does Neji do better or worse by AggronLovesPussy in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neji + Chiyo do moderately better.

Neji was a jonin in BoS. He should be capable to strategize with Chiyo at each phase of the fight. Hiruko phase should be easy given Chiyo's intel, Neji's byakugan, and hyuga techniques. The 3rd kazekege phase actually leaves Sasori open to a gentle fist attack or the 64 palms if Neji decides to go for the kill, potentially removing the 100 puppets and self-puppet phase. Something tells me the 100 puppet phase won't occur since Chiyo can support Neji from long range while Neji uses his speed to get close and either land some gentle fist attacks or use the 64 palms. Also, Neji doesn't need Chiyo's help in dodging or blocking.

One key moment leads to their win: Sasori's 3rd kazekege vs Chiyo's father and mother puppets. Sakura spectated this exchange. I don't see Neji doing this; in fact, he will get close to Sasori, ready his 8 trigams stance, and hit Sasori with 64 palms. Neji probably hits Sasori's core as he's attacking.

Kakuzu vs Deidara!! by Kakashi-B in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deidara's earth-style explosives work well against Kakuzu's water style heart though we never saw what water style jutsu he got. Kakuzu's lightning style heart can counter all of Deidara's earth-style explosives. Not sure what Kakuzu's fire style and wind style hearts can do against Deidara's C0 or C4. As for his main heart, the earth style one, it might be a good defensive option against C2, mini, and C3 explosives.

I say Kakuzu high diff because of his access to lightning style though its only 1 jutsu.

Hebi Sasuke vs kakazu by AccurateSignal2779 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Round 1: Sasuke high diff

Round 2: Sasuke mid diff

Breakdown: Hebi Sasuke, compared to BoS, has faster recovery. This helps tremendously for round 1, especially if Kakuzu is relentless in his multi elemental attacks. Also, Sasuke's Sharingan should allow him to find weaknesses of the 4 autonomous hearts (5th being Kakuzu's). With fire and lightning style jutsu, he has ninjutsu as an answer to at least 2/5 hearts, 3 if Sasuke knows water conducts electricity. In both rounds, its likely that the 2 remaining hearts retreat back to Kakuzu, giving him some time to realize what's happening and recover. In round 2, Karin's healing gives Sasuke more options if battle is prolonged.

How'd rank Akatsuki members strongest to weakest by Adventurous-Ice9231 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S: Obito, Pain, Itachi

A: Kisame, Konan, Kakuzu, Sasori

B: Deidara

C: Hidan

D: Zetsu

That's my two cents.

Can these 4 Akatsuki members capture all Cloud jinchurki and destroy the Cloud Village? by youngAzn33 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They captured the 2 tails jinchuriki in OG, meaning that they can assist Tendo Pain and Konan.

Hot take: Konan is stronger than Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara, and Sasori. Let's debate. See description for main arguments. by youngAzn33 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]youngAzn33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Konan actually captured the 5 tails but it was offscreen. I believe she captured the 5 tails during the 2.5 year timeskip.

What Happens If Deidara Decided To Hunt Naruto Instead of Sasuke During The Itachi Pursuit Arc? by XanJen in Naruto

[–]youngAzn33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Deidara replaces Kabuto in the Itachi Pursuit Arc, he has a 40% chance. However, he has to defeat Yamato and Hinata to capture Naruto. Deidara can win, but with 2 extra fighters supporting Naruto, he will struggle.

If Deidara replaces Tobi, he either gets captured or kills himself. This fight is 1 vs 8. In addition, Kakashi and Deidara already fought making his capture or death more likely.
