It would stand to reason that the "mysterious Jutsu" that Kakuza uses for his signiture ability could be related to the Heroes water.

thanks for making a kakuzu one, I really love his character too and really wish that they didn't kill him off so anti-climatically. at least let him be defeated by characters who actually think, the content/battle would've been so much more entertaining that way (like HxH battles). then again, they can only make so many episodes/manga panels due to budgeting and sponsorship issues probably, so they gotta cut things just like they do in movies.

[@idontevenwannaknow]

I'm not sure how true this is, but I remember hearing that Kishimoto suffered a slipped disc during this arc and was in severe pain while writing and drawing it. If I remember what was stated correctly, Kishimoto didn't want the manga to go on break nor did he want anyone else to complete it for him, so he kind of rushed the ending. Again, I haven't verified the validity of this but I do remember hearing about it a few years back after he spoke at some event. Also, I could also be misremembering some of the info but I'm pretty sure that's what was stated.

[@StrawanaCGC]

In my opinion it wasn’t anti climactic, maybe for a such a cool character it’s was “anti climactic” but it was one of the coolest fights ever. After all the previous episodes of Naruto training his new rasengan we got to see how powerful it truly was on Kakazu. I think he was the perfect character to show off the new jutsu on.

Kakuzu is one the most interesting bad guys in Naruto.

[@dominiccampbell181]

I find it highly unlikely that Kakazu came anywhere close to defeating Hashirama for a few reasons. 1. Naruto and Kakashi managed to kill four of his hearts, and neither were anywhere close to Hashirama. 2. While Naruto did admittedly have to be rescued once, he still essentially beat Kakazu alone, in his base form, and adding Sage mode pushed him well past Kakazu and into the Nagato weightclass of power. Hashirama, who was likely stronger in base than Naruto was in Sage, could also use Senjutsu. 3. Kakuzu fought him, never said anything about beating him or coming close to it. Given his personality, he would have said so if he had. 4. Madara embarrassed 2nd and future 3rd Tsuchikages. Hashirama was still stronger than Madara.

[@CasualCasimir]

Not saying you’re wrong I’m actually agreeing with you in fact but I will debunk one feat you stated about Naruto taking on Kakazu. The reason why Naruto defeat Kakazu so easily is because of rasanShuriken, it was stated that that move is extremely powerful and potent and something that has Hashirama did not possess himself also rasen Shrunken was a perfect counter for Kakazu since he could regenerate rasen shrunken could cut him down to a molecular level which basically gave Naruto easy mode in that fight

[@dominiccampbell181]

@@CasualCasimir My main reason for including Naruto in that, was showing how Naruto outmaneuvered him with clones, and get close enough to take out one of his hearts. This of course is assuming that Kakuzu was even using that immortality technique when he faced Hashirama.

Kakuzu always was my favorite akatsuki member, together with Tobi (no, not Obito). He's also kinda what more on the "actual ninja" side of naruto. Wearing a face mask to conceal your identity, actually using "hidden techniques" and overall being secretive. Also his money hungry persona together with Hidans batsh*t crazy attitude made for one of the most entertaining akatsuki teams to watch.

Hot take: Hidden Waterfall just disliked Kakuzu. They sent him to Hashirama to die, and they were using the "you failed to beat one of the strongest ninja alive" as an excuse to get rid of him. Also, I sustain that Hashirama or whoever was his brains at the time wanted to troll the other villages into self-destruction by giving them incredibly unstable and dagerous power in the form of "demon-possesed" shinobi. No, really, Jinchuuriki tend to be mistreated and escape, and Kakashi's backstory literally included dumbo-dropping Isobu into Konoha with Rin as a trojan horse. Would Tobirama just allow Hashirama to give away that much "power" and "assets"? No, he was cynical enough to see where that would end!

I think he died of overuse of his regeneration abilities. You only have so many cells. And someone who lived n an era of war and who’s rival was madara it’s safe to say he was constantly healing himself. Able to regen limps and organs. He basically ran through his entire lifespan in half the time.

[@cheviidevii]

I firmly believe Hashirama cells killed him. No one was able to beat him nor implied to be stronger than him however they were shinobis who could damage him. I remember a brief moment in the series where Tsunade said constant regeneration of ones cells can kill someone and her regeneration jutsu should only be used when its absolutely necessary. If I'm not mistake Kabuto once implied Kimimaro constant regeneration of bones and cells might be what led to him developing his disease. When Orochimaru found Kim he did not had his disease back then but constant training and battles to be Orochimaru strongest servant and possibly his vessel is what led to him possibly developing his disease. Hashirama also died before age 55 meaning he died in his prime (36-54) and not because of old age or assassination since his senses wasn't dull because he wasn't old.

[@oghaze9318]

Agreed, we also have evidence that too much sage energy can harm the body (curse seal). Hashirama was a human but his mokuton was initially a power that belonged to the Juubi Jinchuriki, his heart most likely stopped functioning during combat because he was overusing his Yang energy throughout his lifetime (like how a Sharingan goes blind because Uchiha don't have the body to use it)

It was literally stated he died to his cells multiplying and it seems naruto is also dieing due to the same disease. Naruto probably would've not had the same disease if he hadn't gotten Hagaromos chakra

[@Friendly_G]

@@silverhetch3383 thought it was his cells just kept regenerating too much. (Basically ninja cancer too the extreme)

[@w0nkersisB0nkers]

Bruh, when I heard he fought Hashirama, I thought he threw a Kunai in his direction and ran telling everyone he fought him lol

[@benjaminmartin956]

If I had to sit in prison for any length of time I would so want NC Hammer to be my celly, so I could listen to him all day lol 😅😆.

[@TheRedQueeenn]

Kakazu deserves to be in Shinobi Striker , cool video

[@tywedlake6988]

This turned more into hidan for a min but I loved the story!!

[@itstrulymystic]

Hey Nick I really think you should do an unpopular opinions series i would love us to discuss our unpopular opinions and you feature and talk about them in videos!

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

The irony that Hashirama the man who couldn't keep a dime due to his gambling addiction, inspired the greatest misers in all of Naruto to become what he is today sheerly because of his reputation Tobirama crafted.

[@metal87power]

Zombie duo deserves spin-off sitcom series.

[@kyleconrad7916]

Is it possible that the Hidden Waterfall actually had the Tailed Beast already and sent Kakuzu to stop Hashirama from capturing it? Noticed it wasn't mentioned and thought it could be a plausible theory.

[@MrTechnics]

Imagined being sent to kill the God of 🥷 and gets his ass dragged, almost died, then returned home to be jailed 😩😂

[@vincentmarcellino7183]

I feel like he tried to kill Hashirama, realized there was no way in hell after launching a jutsu and watching it be a mosquito biting a mountain then just fled as Hashirama questioned who threw that piece of paper at him. Not really "fought" so much as "allowed to leave after seeing there was no chance"

[@seanhutt4621]

This whole concept gives me an idea for what if.. What if the uzumaki allied with the hidden waterfall to make the sixth great ninja village I mean with the power of water giving massive multiplier of your chakra for a cut of your lifespan and the uzumaki having unnaturally gigantic chakra and unnaturally gigantic lifespan this could have been a match made in heaven So they don't live 200 years anymore they live a normal life span but each of them possesses chakra levels closer to a tail beast than any human we've seen Just seems like a cool concept As always you keep being awesome dude and I'll keep watching love the content

[@laad-raptaverse3020]

My fav akatsuki member followed by kisame. Beast of a character

[@nomad155]

Haven't seen it mentioned but there's also the theory that Kakazu was sent in a suicide mission. They just wanted him to talk and were glad they did so. Either he was a Shinobi who got more powerful than expected, or he knew something the elders didn't want him to know. Why get rid of your most valuable asset?

[@Shadowsmoke11]

Kakuzu is a legend!

[@zackwest2916]

Dude I fucking love these videos I was a huge Naruto fan as a kid and after I turned 18 I watched the entire show including Shippuden all over again and I’m watching Boruto now You have so much amazing content and I really hope you keep filling in the cloudy spaces

[@streetguru9350]

Kakuzu just likes to tell people he fought Hashirama. It's obvious he slapped him and told him to just go home.
