[@vybnYT]

Another point for Kakashi is how in the Naruto Verse it’s heavily implied your chakra is linked to one’s state of mine, and feelings. Kakashi comes to grip after the death of Nagato during his visit to his dad in the afterlife, Kakashi gains a noticeable bump as mentally, he’s not shackled by his guilt anymore. That is why by the time kage summit comes around, Kakashi is spamming jutsu’s that previously would have taken all his energy to cas

[@funnyvalentinesglorioushai2227]

I mean, you could say the same about Sasuke. His sense of self worth is also trash, to the point where he was willing to live an eternity of loneliness for his brother's wish of peace. But honestly when talking about bad mental health almost all of the Naruto cast are top tier :)

Damn no wonder Naruto had so much chakra on his own

[@10RexTheWolf01]

OK it seems to me that when it comes to power in any form and media it is starting to sound like psychic powers all together: -In Outlast it was referenced that they were somewhat able to achieve it from the LSD soldiers conspiracy same with FEAR 2 - In Mob Psycho they believed they could achieve it through torture. Seems like trauma is the way to get it started. -In Teen Titans Starfire claims her powers are managed through her emotions same with Raven - In MHA it follows the same principle too when getting stronger and this is only a tiny few examples. Seems like everyone agrees that power of the mind gives you real power. Starting to feel like this is a legit thing that can actually happen.

Because chakra is form from physical and mental energy . That is why sasukes chakra gets progressive “colder” in shippuden

[@RayOfSunhine2012]

Something people tend to leave out about dual ms Kakashi, is the fact that when he received the dual sharingan power from obito, he also received a reserve of obitos sage of six paths Chakra. So that's why Kakashi was capable of managing both sharingan at full power for longer then 20 seconds

[@sampalace358]

And The reason no one brings this up is because it makes no sense. Obito ran out of chakra during the Kaguya fight. He literally needed a large portion of sakura’s byakugo chakra to save sasuke, and then uses up even more chakra to save them again from the boneash attacks. He had no more chakra to give especially not enough chakra for a perfect susanoo. Then you also have to remember that obito had a JUUBI taken out of him by force. the entire situation made 0 sense.

I never took the Karin statement where she says Sasuke’s chakra is thicker and colder than before as a power statement. IMO she’s just noticing how much more ominous Sasuke is becoming. He’s a darker person hellbent on murdering Danzo and his chakra is reflecting that.

I mean like thicker means made up of a larger number of things and that means he has a larger amount of chakra which means he is just blantly stronger idk why u think more chakra doesn’t = strength

Well normally sure but its stated that Uchiha get stronger with hate. Sasuke's chakra getting thicker and colder should correlate to his sharingan powering him up as well. So in Sasuke's case this should absolutely be power related.

7:12 I mean, Kakashi could've even just been impressed by how Naruto was able to successfully fuse his wind-nature with the Rasengan in a way that Kakashi never could with his lightning-nature. In that instance, yes, Naruto surpassed Kakashi; however, once again, this is a modest notion. After all, Kakashi created Chidori, a completely unique skill, by failing to fuse his lightning-nature with the Rasengan. So, it comes down to which one's more impressive: a new enhanced version of an older, broken jutsu, OR a new, 100% unique broken jutsu.

Haku is downplayed more, because his only showing was butchering Sasuke and Naruto before they could walk on water, and then getting de-plotted by kyuubi meanwhile, Kimimaro has a fair showing against Gaara (one of the few ninjas who can fly reliably, and rain down death) and his life hanging by a thread is well understood as well (moving purely on willpower, he'd be a fantastic green lantern lol) In a fight, unless Haku starts with his kekai genkai active, he'd get blitzed.

Shikamaru may of had revenge on the mind but he didn't get so fixated he tried to kill his comrade because they were stronger than him. Also I would say that hidan was trash in comparison to itachi so really Shikamaru needed just a strat to beat hidan not a power booster like Sasuke.

the preda path absorbs ninjutsu, jiraya loved to spam large scale ninjutsu and as you admitted the animal path was one of the stronger ones, just because the asura path has big missile doesn't mean it's more USEFUL in a fight. Obviously the human path is not one of the more combat oriented paths, but the paths were stronger when nagato was focusing more on them and could channel more chakra into a specfific path. Jiraiya was fighting the only 3 active paths at the time in the rain village those were the strongest versions of those paths that we ever saw and jiraiya didn't just fight them he killed them.

@@daymianhogue1634 He wasn't pouring chakra into the other 3 paths, even if they were active, they were sitting around somewhere and nagato wasted no chakra on them. Also Jiraiya was a very cautious fighter, he said he will die in the fight but that was only after 3 or so attacks where pains defense was flawless (something we never see Pain do against Naruto cuz plot armor lmao) then Jiraiya retreats for like 3 minutes and then literally takes Pains defense apart even before the genjutsu kicks in. Like, One of the paths was trapped in the dark swamp, one was absorbing the fire jutsu and the animal path got trashed in taijutsu, they were done without the genjutsu even. He could've continued a regular assault and just kill them one by one in that situation, but played it safe and used something Nagato didn't expect. It was also a flawless victory against the 3 since the paths of pain didn't put a scratch on Jiraiya. Do you think Naruto would've actually killed as many paths of pain as he did in his fight if he didn't have 2 reserve sage modes, 3 giant toads, katsuyu feeding him intel and Nagato being significantly weakened? Naruto had every advantage Jiraiya could only dream of.

[@PaleRook]

@@yugislavia9870 I don’t think it’s very genuine to compare Naruto’s fight with pain to jiraya’s. Jiraya’s fight was okay ay more tactical and slower and where he fought pain allowed for much more ambushes with the Verticality and tight corridors. Naruto’s fight was much much more about directly fighting with pain in one big fight. Jiraya already thought fighting 3 paths was a bit overwhelming for him to deal with, and 2 of the paths there were support paths and the third is a summoner with no way to directly defend itself in a unique way. Being completely honest. I think jiraya would’ve gotten washed harder than naruto did in the hidden leaf fight.

[@yugislavia9870]

@@PaleRook There were no ambushes, the whole fight was simply sage Jiraiya cautiously attacking like 3 times, then retreating into the pipes and then coming back to take them apart, like, that's the whole fight. It felt long, but it wasn't. Naruto did use strategy to defeat the paths of Pain and the intel katsuyu gave him helped a lot, it saved him chakra he would've wasted on figuring things about Pain out himself. Their fight had a faster pace but there was undeniably strategizing. Pain also fought a lot more recklessly because he knew that he has to protect deva at all costs or he's done so he just threw the other pains at Naruto to stall. In the Jiraiya fight, Pain kept up a flawless defense because time was on his side and Jiraiya was on the backfoot. If Jiraiya showed up with 3 giant toads to fight 6 weakened pains who were miles away from Nagato, with the strongest path not even moving for a good 5-10 minutes, while getting fed intel and while Nagato threw around his paths to 1v1 the opponent (which he did against Naruto) I think that Jiraiya wouldn't necessarily win but he'd do at the very least as much damage as Naruto did.

[@lordzagnias1945]

We know that Kakashi is obviously MASSIVELY stronger during the War-Arc, to the point where I think people actually UNDERESTIMATE his feats in the war-arc, especially after he gets pissed because of Zabuza Edo Tensei. But the question remains WHEN does he gain that strength? I think there's two ways to think about it. One, his talk with his father while dead cleared his 'blocks' in his mind, and his chakra immediately started to increase, and he just got massively stronger because of that, with nothing limiting his chakra and powers now. (Perhaps even the resurrection itself helped his body?) Then with some casual training to get used to these new levels of chakra, that's why he's stronger. I personally lean towards my second theory which is, his talk with his father did clear his blocks but what they did was massively increase his TRAINING rate. Which makes sense, considering if War Arc Kakashi fought Five-Kage Sasuke, welp. Not much to say besides bye-bye Sasuke. I'd go with the wager that while Five-Kage Summit Kakashi IS stronger. I don't think at this point he's massively stronger. I think it's pretty fair to say that Pein Kakashi does in fact beat Sasuke of the Itachi fight probably... 7/10? 8/10? times. Admitedly it's hard to say, because we neve actually see 'full power' Pein. When he fights Naruto he's weakened. Kakashi clearly isn't on the same tier as Pein. Jiraiya clearly isn't either. Naruto only even beat Pein because Pein was weakened, naruto had prep time, the full toad clan, his seal broke, and then didn't he somehow after having his seal restructured come out of the Satellite in Sage Mode? Like, literally the only reason naruto even got close to winning tbh was that Pein was weakened + Hinata is suicidal. My point with this is, I don't think Kakashi losing to Deva Pein is bad at all. Remember, even if he's holding back this IS a full-power Pein who fought the six tails kyuubi just with Deva after destroying Konoha and fight naruto who used sage mode multiple times. Overall, I actually think people underrate both Pein AND Kakashi, while slightly overrating sage mode Naruto. I'd even go as far to say that Kakashis fight against Kakuzu was more impressive then Sasuke's fight against Deidara, but that's a whole different conversation.

[@rushipatel7399]

Itachi slaps any form of Sasuke until the 5 Kage summit. Then Danzo fight Sasuke puts up a good fight against itachi, but will lose to itachi in the end. Edo tensei itachi and Kabuto fight EMS Sasuke are about even. Any version of Sasuke beyond the Kabuto fight destroys itachi negative difficulty. 6 paths of pain stomp any form of Sasuke before Danzo fight Sasuke. Danzo fight Sasuke takes out 5/6 paths, but loses to deva path’s chibaku tensei. Kabuto fight EMS Sasuke would beat the 6 paths of pain, but would get mid diffed by edo nagato. Post Kabuto fight EMS Sasuke low-mid diffs edo nagato. This is my opinion.

[@jonathanbarker831]

The vs battle I didn't know how much I needed until I started watching

[@sniggelbob]

One thing I always assumed but realized was never actually stated was that the paths of Pain seem to be stronger individually, the less of them are being used. Like the Tendo Path takes significantly more damage than the other paths and keeps fighting (not counting the filler scenes against 6 tails naruto) and I always assumed that's because it was the last one so Nagato could focus all of his chakra on it. If that were the case, then the 3 that Jiraiya fought could have been stronger than the paths individually while they were invading the leaf. All 6 being active is still more dangerous, especially 6 vs 1 but Nagato was fighting an entire village while the Tendo and Asura path were killing Kakashi.

[@strider_hiryu850]

2:19 i was actually thinking of this scene recently. not remembering the dialogue, i thought: well maybe this was a signal. if Sasuke were to bring his arm down, it would've meant a large group; a squadron, if you will: would pop out of the ruble, and sand, and attack "Team" "7". but no, it was what would later turn out to be Kirin. 12:38 i just now realized, the colours of Kakashi's Mangekyo are swapped in this shot. ~15:38 i think it was just adrenaline. so to speak. i mean, this is fiction. these characters don't actually have hormones. but in universe, it's just adrenalin. i think we concluded that Mr. Uchiha claps another shinobi's cheeks. what a surprise! the Uchiha are overpowered.

[@GrokeytheHunter]

I wanna mention the kirin thing, there is no clouds in the sky when he try’s to kirin team 7 meaning that it would not be even close to the same power level it was against itachi. They likely would have survived, but been taken out of commission

[@Borchert97]

The way I would explain this in-universe is that he has two ways to use Kirin, he can either prep it with Fire Style and command natural lightning, or he can inject his Lightning Style into the sky to create artificial lightning.

[@GrokeytheHunter]

@@Borchert97 yeah, I was just saying that it would be weaker without the prep

[@nightmairgaming7589]

Didn't expected you so early!!

[@aowwii]

Jiraiya didn't just look at 6 paths and go "oh yeah, I can't damage tendo and asura" like these two are implying. As far as he was concerned, he had just killed three paths. Then, there were now six, with three of the six having been who he had just killed. He knows he can't KILL them. It had nothing to do with him somehow acknowledging that two of the three new paths present were paths he can't beat. I don't even know how that came up. He just had a full scale battle with three paths, then lost an arm after being caught off guard. Clearly, he saw SIX OF THEM and knew he'd lose because he's down an arm and he now knows they're 'unkillable'. It had nothing to do with any a specific path (of which he doesn't know the abilities of) showing up. You two had the information wrong. Naraka path wasn't in that fight until the end when the animal path presumably summoned the other three paths. Though, it doesn't change much of the discussion in this instance. Jiraiya fought Human, Animal, and Preta. Bum paths though? 2/3 definitely weren't. Are they sleeping on the Pain that causes the second most headaches? Preta top three. It's shonen. It's not exactly uncommon for the attacking character to tell someone that their guard is down as they're attacking. It doesn't imply that Pain is fast at talking or is so powerful Jiraiya would lose that arm regardless of the sentence or not. It's simple anime shit. It doesn't make sense, but it doesn't make Jiraiya lower or Pain higher on the scale, lmao. Pain doesn't get an insane speed feat for 'dodging a point-blank raikiri'. Kakashi had a chakra rod in him that made it easy to dodge.

I think one thing in kakashi's favour is that he has many different jutsu that sasuke would have never seen and could not have prepared for.

[@Wyrm7774]

It does thats why you need the sharingan to see through the tunnel vision

[@davecommentary]

The way I read it made me think that using Chidori/Raikiri involves the caster needing to move faster than a normal person’s eyes can see. That’s why Minato told a young Kakashi that the technique was incomplete and that he shouldn’t use it because of the tunnel vision that moving so fast creates. Never really got the feeling that the jutsu itself made the user move faster, just that using it necessitates moving super duper fast. I think if it gave the user a speed boost, then we would have seen it used to avoid something that a character couldn’t have otherwise avoided.

[@MurkioKrazy]
