The Third Raikage vs The Hokage

[@ThunderGodTG]

For my Minato boys, you could also argue he could reaper death seal with a shadow clone against the Third, however we don’t know if the shadow clone would be able to just rip it out with ease like against the Edo Tensei which had zero will or desire to fight back while Hiruzen did it, slight note I realized post upload

We don't know if the reaper death seal can be used in this way. It is possible that even if you use a shadow clone, you still die. But, Minato has a number of unknown sealimg jutsu that we don't know and that could be helpful so we can't roll out the possibility that he can beat the 3rd using them. Hopefully we will learn more in the upcoming spin off.

The Third Raikage has a wakness that took someone dumb like Naruto to figure out in less then 10 min, sooo i think that every kage can do the same

[@ActuallyAlask]

The Third Raikage gets downplayed very heavily because he 'stalemated' Gyuki and obviously Killer Bee and the Fourth Raikage are stronger. The issue with this downplay is that the Third Raikage was trying not to kill Gyuki so he could restrain him. He cut off literally EVERY SINGLE one of Gyuki's tails.

When people say characters would trick the Raikage to use his Single Finger to attack himself it’s not feasible. The 3rd Raikage was in bloodlust autonomous mode. In character he considered his scar his greatest shame so he probably would need to be pushed where he feels it’s absolutely necessary to use higher levels of power.

You guys saying that Raikage wins are insane. Yea Minato would have trouble with the lightning barrier, and it would take a lot probably, but at no point would the raikage ever land a hit on Minato.

Ain’t no way Minato doesn’t figure out how to use the third raikage’s jutsu against him like naruto did. Dude is arguably the smartest ninja ever. Even itachi and Kakashi couldn’t figure out kamui. It took konan years to prepare for it. And minato did it after seeing it a few times. I don’t see how minato doesn’t win. He doesn’t need attack potency when he can just use the thirds one jutsu against. It’s GG after that.

He needs to counter the right level of his finger justu though. Naruto had the opportunity to counter the 1 finger version. Minato can find something else, but automatic switch Naruto for Minato in a scenario is a bit lazy.

[@henryriehl2058]

Really good video! In regards to alive Tobirama and his tandem paper bombs jutsu, given that there's a few statements in the series saying that it is his special move, it's basically given that he used this jutsu in conjunction with edo tensei when he was alive. So the way I see the fight going is him summoning a fodder edo tensei ninja, and using it as a way to use the tandem paper bombs jutsu. Also since he's nerfed in his edo tensei state, it's worth noting that any feat he displays whilst in edo needs to be slightly amped. Also also, he has multiple feats which show he's got really got reaction time. Him being able to place 4 paper bombs on obito whilst being blitzed and him dodging the initial punch that Madara was going to throw on him. This being alive madara with sage mode. He can also make shadow clones who could each use water style and flood the area even more and has a large amount of control over it (he can get the water to grab someone and drag them in a water pool).

[@ThunderGodTG]

Yeah this generally encapsulates my thoughts, for his lower forms of paper bombs I’d say it might be debatable if they damage the Third but Tandem is a form GG

[@momotheone9700]

@@ThunderGodTG i do think tobirama to a degree can use tandem paperbomb while alive, but i just think all of his tandem paperbombs are on the level of the one he did against juubito, i doubt if he can do it at that level while alive, but at the same time i do think its still a powerful jutsu in its lower use

Kakashi is nowhere near Minato's KCM speed. The panels you show have been manipulated to give the impression that Kakashi and Minato ran toward zetsu to kill him, but if you read the entire sequence of panels, you will see that they were both already standing directly above Obito, when Zetsu was about to make an attempt to dip with the rinnegan. Minato is the one with a speed feat earlier when he blitzes Kakashi after he emerged from Kamui dimension and tried to finish Obito off. That's all.. I think..

[@ThunderGodTG]

Yeah I agree although I will say you can maybe make the case he teleported to the mark on Obito in that instance. Regardless I still think KCM is > and that Kakashi is more of a rival to base minato

[@Nathan24634]

​@ThunderGodTG I think something everyone forgets isn't that it's minatos base movement speed that made him the fastest as we blatantly see the 4th raikage outspeed him but it's his insane reaction time in combination with flying raijin that made him the fastest so it's feasible kakashi is an equal to minato in speed when not including flying raijin which is what made him the fastest

You did a quality job, brother. & even though you touched on it already, I actually think Minato deducing the origins of the 3rd’s scar & figuring out he can use his own jutsu against him is not only not that that crazy, but highly probable. Bro figured out Kamui in no time flat when it took the rest of the series forever. I also think there’s almost no scenario where Minato actually loses. If things get dicey or he needs a moment, he FTG’s away, regroups, & bounces back. While the Raikage would be impervious to most of Minato’s arsenal, he’d also be unable to land hits on Minato which ultimately just gives Minato more time to theory craft. I don’t think it’d be strange for Minato to even have heard of the Third & his reputation before, which might lead him on to knowing about the “ultimate weapon” & “ultimate shield.” I personally think this battle goes on long enough for Minato to figure out he needs to use Hell Thrust against him & it’s a wrap.

[@moeketsigeorge1932]

You are right bro, I mean Naruto wondered why the 3rd Rai had a scar, Minato would not even need any1 to tell him what happened, his theories alone on what happened would eventually play out to where he figured out the cause of the scar.

@@brumtownmiller6130 I’m not sure if you read my initial comment, but it is highly likely that Minato has heard of the Raikage & his personal exploits.

Minato is one of the most intelligent characters in the series. If Naruto can get his far as he did with a little push, Minato should be able to figure it out on his own.

Hidden mist jutsu will be useless here due to asuma’s wind release + he doesn’f have ro stay in one spot to guard tazuna like Kakashi did. He can just escape the mist too. So hidden mist is a complete waste of Chakra for Zabuza As for their speeds, strength, chakra reserves. Zabuza actually kept up with Kakashi, and pushed him hard. We know Kakashi >> > Asuma. So i just don’t see a way of Asuma keeping up with zabuza’s speed and strength.

[@shikaotsu7194]

People never seem to talk about the difference between a normal shadow clone and Naruto's in the war, considering the fact he's making them with Kurama's chakra instead of only his own, if it's just a single clone that clone should be at least half as strong as Naruto using KCM and you could argue that same clone could probably solo fight every single member of the Akatsuki, it isn't an anti-feat if you need a clone that strong to take out an Edo Tensei, if anything it's more impressive since we know Naruto's clones aren't just his but a mix of his and Kurama's chakra then they should definitely be more comparable to him anyways, even if that half of Kurama's chakra was split into another half, that quarter portion of Kurama's chakra still is enough to destroy an entire nation's worth of people.

Minato has MANY Uzumaki sealing jutsu of extremely high potency other than the RDS, in fact he didn’t even need RDS to seal away Kurama as Kushina stated. So sealing without him dying is his legitimate win con against the 3rd Raikage. I also definitely think Minato’s kunai would’ve just cut through the Raikage and I think it goes against what the author is trying to show. If Minato couldn’t even damage the 4th then he would’ve never been able to threaten him and Bee so much in combat. And to top it off he’s got one of the highest IQs in the series so I think he’d be able to come up with the same plan Naruto used to beat him but on his own.

The Fourth is just blatently weaker in terms of striking force than Tsunade [and remember; speed is a factor of striking force too making the Fourth's lack of strength even worse!]. To be able to do damage to Madara at all he needed an amp from Onooki. Tsunada could deal as much; if not even more damage, without aid. The five Kage basically decided their wincon was "get Tsunade to break the defence and stun him; then seal with Gaara". The Raikage's [And Onnaki's] job was basically to hit hard enough to merely pin for Tsunade. And the thing is; the Third Raikage wasn't exactly slow either. He could react to KCM Clone Naruto; the same Naruto being able to narrowly dodge the 4th Raikage. I think the 4th is just plain weaker than the 3rd. Like; what is the 4th's wincon? To Lariat the Third? Well; the Hell Spear has longer range than the Lariat. And due to the traditions of the Cloud; the Third MUST have the Lariat as well. But he chooses the Hell Spear instead; implying the Spear > Lariat. Also; we've not actually seen how the Lightning Cloak interacts with water. Maybe it dissipates in water; being conducted throughout the water? In that case, if the third Raikage loses his amp in high amounts of water; maybe Tobirama could win with basically a drowning strategy. [Assumeing alive Third Raikage] or sealing him after stripping his cloak. I think Tobirama has a chance, depending on how Water Style interacts with the Lightning Cloak.

[@moonknight3608]

To your last point, it wouldn't really make sense if the water would beat the cloak, because it is stated that his only real elementary weakness is wind release. And also Lightning release counters water, so the Raikage could just use his black lightning or something.

[@bloster_ant]

⁠@@moonknight3608 It’s not exactly that it counters water, it just makes a stronger attack that can be detrimental to the attacker. Remember in the cycle shown to us, lightning release counters earth release cause it just blows it up, and earth release counters water release cause it just stops it from flowing. The “countering” is essentially just nullifying the weaker release, where lightning just makes a stronger attack out of water. Either way, just by nature of how electricity interacts with water in the real world, it doesn’t look good for Tobirama if he uses water, and would probably opt to not use water style at all.

[@MattJDylan]

Apparently (what I've seen on youtube) reaper death seal pulls out of your opponent as much chakra as you have. Minato pulled half of kurama and we don't even know if that was his limit, since he had then enough power to seal the other half into naruto while also targeting half and half specifically. So basically minato>half kurama>gyuuki. This might sound odd at first, but it's consistent with the fact that minato was spamming left and right justus that require high level of chakra (like flying raijin, it takes those 3 high level jounin together to perform one). Minato gets downplayed a lot in term of chakra reserves, but if what I said above is true he definitely had more than the raikage. Then, his special kunai can cut through the eigh tails' tentacle like it's butter and he was confident he could kill the 4th raikage through his cloak (he was sure not only in the first exchange, but also after, when he teleported behind him... and Ai and Bee were sure he could do that too, since the best strategy they came up with was to stall minato.) And that's not even mentioning that minato, even without intel, could try to use the 3rd's spear against him because that's honestly a good idea in itself and minato is a genius (probably the most intelligent character of the entire series, both for lore and showing... figuring and countering kamui in seconds is on another level!). PS: Now, I know this sounds like a big wank for the hokage, but I don't think I've said anything particularly debatable... did I?! 🤔

Only Hokage 3rd Raikage can beat Is Alive Minato and even that is Highly debatable. It is mainly because of Minato's lack of Ap feats and 3rd Raikage's Stamina 🙌 Others outright beats him. Every Hokage can react to him even if they don't have Raw movement Speed as him. They probably have higher Combat Speed too. -Tsunade has shown Ap and Speed feats to put down 3rd Raikage. -Hiruzen knows every Jutsu in Konoha and Tobirama Knows Countless Ones being Hiruzen's teacher and From statements. -There is no reason to believe Hiruzen don't have Ap to breach it. Hiruzen with Enma can block and Counter any of 3rd Raikage's Movement. His Jutsus are Extremely Potent to Hold down 3rd Raikage. Like Shuriken Shadow Clones or Elemental Jutsus. He can also Use 5 Clones and Perform 5 Different Jutsus at the same time Which Most likely will breach and Kill or extremely Damage 3rd Raikage. Old Hiruzen is debatable due to him having less Chakra and Stamina. But he still could pull a Draw with Reaper death seal. And Yes , he can catch 3rd. He can make clones. All of them which are Directly Connected to reaper death seal. He can just let 3rd come to him and catch him. Even if he take a hit , He can tank it witj soem damage like he did with Edo Hashirama. 3rd can't see Reaper death seal as well. Prime Hiruzen Wins without any doubt. Not only does he have the Statements , But also feats and Narrative. Hiruzen don't have any kekkei Genkai. Judging by his Chakra at old age , His prime would have a Boatload or else him being that strong would not make any sense 🙌 - Tobirama is like better Alive Minato with way more Strong Jutsus. His water Style is Arguable but its Probably Sharp enough breach the Raikage's Cloak. His Paper Jutsu if Landed or His Swordsmanship if Used in Sync with Flying Raijin and Nature changed Chakra Coating could possibly Damage 3rd too 🤷🏻 - Hashirama wins without any argument

[@ctrick3982]

This take right here is absolutely the best. People think just bc someone can run faster than another character that means the can't react at all to their movements. Like tsunade could put up both of her arms reinforced with chakra when the 3rd attacks just like she did to madaras fire attack then grab the 3rd raikage. All she needs is one hit. May take a couple of tries, but I believe with the hundred healings she could do it. If she couldnt dodge all the way she could let it pierce her anywhere besides the head and boom she destroys him. The others could definitely come up with something to defeat him based on narrative alone.

I understand, but Its very obvious that tobirama did indeed put the paper bombs on jubito and marked him with FTG seal. If jubito was too fast for him then how did the FTG seal got on him. Tobirama was literally thinking five steps ahead. It was all apart of his attack plan. Even Minato in the manga after seeing how many things tobirama did in a really really quick moment said, "" the second is so fast "". Madara is hashirama's rival, and tobirama can move on par with hashirama. So it makes sense. Unstable jubito here was still faster than kcm 1 naruto, even naruto said , ""what , what happened "". Tobirama activated the regular paper bombs as his own way of distracting jubito, hashirama wasn't holding him down, he was simply adding to tobirama's distraction. Jubito could easily break out of a weak wood technique. If you read the manga carefully, you can see they were all moving really really fast, even with tobirama with great urgency telling the others to get away. So hashirama wasn't holding him down, it was just a distraction. However, tobirama had already distracted jubito with the regular bombs. 👍 Great video, i really did enjoy this one.

Kushina states she taught Minato other sealing jutsu besides the tetragram seal, so Minato probably has other ways to seal the 3rd without the need for Reaper Death Seal. Seeing as how Sage Mode Naruto in the war beat up Kurama, Minato (who’s much stronger in base) has the chakra to at least amp his rasengans or his other jutsu to the degree Naruto amped his. Especially since Minato can spam space-time ninjutsu which take huge amounts of chakra. You did mention that there’s the possibility of him deducing the 3rd’s weakness, but I think it’s more probable than not. Characters comparable to Minato, such as Itachi and Tobirama can deduce their enemy’s weaknesses almost instantly (Nagato and Jubito). Minato figuring out that the Raikage may be able to damage himself seems a lot more likely when you take into account just how smart the people in Minato’s iq group really are. I got Minato winning that fight personally.

[@momotheone9700]

Exactly like if you can give tobirama the benefit of the doubt that he could blow him up and win that way, why not give minato the benefit of the doubt considering minato lorewise is higher than both the 3rd raikage and 4th raikage and we see minato use that jutsu against the strongest bijuu and pulled out half its chakra

I think in this battle you should use prime Hiruzen and not old man Hiruzen as the 3rd Raikage was alive during Hiruzen's prime. Hiruzen in his prime knows every jutsu in konoha's arsenal including hidden jutsus like the Nara, Yamanaka, and other clan's jutsus and could include the flying raijin and edo tensei too although we've not seen him use those. I think prime Hiruzen can put up a great fighting against the 3rd and he has some jutsus in his sleeve that could bypass the lightning armor. For example the Yamanaka jutsu affects the mind and not the body maybe Hiruzen could use a clone and disrupt the 3rd's mind and his real body attacks him when the armor is down? I also wonder if prime Hiruzen has sage mode with his monkey summon. In overall I think Kishimoto was right in saying Hiruzen was the strongest kage in his time

Water clones could potentially work, my personal opinion is that he just does it himself and Teleports out as Hiruzen has seen that jutsu but, he could have also just seen it with the Edo Tensei Combo so who knows.

@@ThunderGodTG Tobirama actually stated that he could spam clones if he weren't Edo & wasn't having to constantly use all of his chakra to perform various tasks to carry the fight against Juubito 🤣 I do think Tobirama, while alive, used the Edo Tensei of his dead soldiers on the bodies of captured enemies to win battles using Tandem Paper Bombs and that's how young Hiruzen witnessed it. The fact it was never explicitly stated he could use the jutsu with clone variants is significant cuz it seems more convenient to pop out clones & blow them up than it is to set up Edo Tensei (specially cuz of his large chakra pool, likely superior to the 3rd & 4th Raikage and relative to Minato's); which makes me think he couldn't, just as a means for the author to nerf such a potent jutsu.

Tobirama vs raikage (alive raikage) - tobirama is one of the smartest characters in the series with all chakra natures so can easily counter and has many potential options, unlike minato, and also has the option to force his own attack on him too. and if tobirama is fighting the reanimated raikage... well as madara stated a counter to the jutsu is if you know the hand seals, which madara knew himself because he saw tobirama use it, tobirama would just uncast the jutsu lol and the raikage would vanish.

[@andrewdecker616]

yall ninjas trippin if you think third Raikage beats Minato lol JK. Dude has the flying raijin, is a perfect sage, has access to 9 tailed chakra mode, has shadow clones in conjunction with reaper death seal (if applicable), Minato was also an adept sensor, able to detect chakra signatures from great distances, he had large chakra reserves, able to summon Gamabunta, as well as teleport multiple massive targets like a tailed beast and their attacks. His chakra control was very refined, evidenced by him being the creator/inventor of the Rasengan and his ability to weave hand seals with only one hand. Then there's his intellect, Minato was a very keen-minded individual, having the highest scores in the history of the Chūnin Exams written test. Even at a young age, only he of all the ninja sent to rescue Kushina, noticed the trail she left behind to mark her kidnappers' path and in combat, he could correctly deduce the basic mechanics behind a technique after seeing it only once, and from there plan around its strengths and weaknesses to his or his allies' advantage. Now im not saying Minato stomps here but i feel comparing minato to the fly in the "fly vs trex" analogy is simply wrong and i think through feats and lore also he should scale above the third but thats just my opinion.

Exactly

I mean, if a car was moving at a fairly slow speed and your Brother was standing in the road, you’d still move him wouldn’t you? Even though not much damage would occur.

[@fellowkrieger457]

Tbf, he only saw Minato popping out of nowhere in the blind spot of his brother. He didn't know what he was going to do, a sealing technique, something else...? It happened really quickly. It's the yellow flash in the blind spot of Ay. He wasn't going to stand there, so he tried to move Minato out of the way.

I don't see Minato losing at all. He's too fast and intelligent. The 3rd will never hit him unless Minato wants to.

[@maalikserebryakov]

No he doesn’t and you known it. *Point 1 - Minato Cannot Hurt the Third Raikage* Edo Tensei third raikage tanked KCM rasenshuriken with ZERO DIFF. We know KCM Rasenshuriken >>> Minato’s Rasengan. And the lightning chakra cloak has even more durability when the third raikage is alive. So minato can’t hurt him with any attack as long as the cloak is active. Simple. Even sage mode won’t bridge the gap *point 2 - Third Raikage will outlast Minato* The third raikage has way more chakra than minato. He fought thousands of ninja, probably fodder, but the point is he fought thousands nonstop for 3 days. Minato has less chakra than that. So minato can’t even try and exhaust the third raikage. He has more stamina and chakra. *Point 3 - The Third Raikage Can Hurt Minato* Third raikage no diffed the Eight Tails, and sliced through his tentacles like a butter through a raw sausage. Also, note that its a piercing motion. So minato simply can’t block it. He will literally explode in a pool of gore if the third raikage lands even one hit, which he eventually will due to Minato running out of chakra. Over for minato fanboys. Raikage claps them cheeks and then kushina’s next. 😂

[@CoolOkay_]

How would Minato struggle against the 3rd if he didn't struggle against the 4th? And no, I consider the 3rd weaker than the 4th because the databook says the 4th is stronger than perfect jinchuriki killer bee and the 4th was willing to beat the 3rd himself cause he was causing a problem.

[@phoenixnuhl]

Minato downplayed, he doesn’t need to use reaper death seal.

I totally agree. Minato is really good at sealing. He could seal lord 3rd inside kushina.👍

Hellstab having better feats than Rasenshuriken is funny

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

I think the 3rd Raikage is strong, very strong but can get overhyped personally. Same with the 4th Raikage. The most consistent scaling is that they are relative to the Beyond Sannin (aka Sannin in their enhanced states) which albeit is strong since Base Sannin is the seen as the bare minimum entrance for being a Hokage candidate and Base Sannin is essentially stronger than every Kazekage (until Gaara in the war & after), Mizukage minus Gengetsu and maybe Yagura (Chojuro too for Boruto era) with the Raikage and Tsuchikage having relativity lore wise. The Raikage 3rd and 4th I would say have at high ball relative scaling to KCM Naruto (still weaker which in my opinion I believe Killer Bee > OG KCM Naruto) and that early war arc Sage Mode but a more safe and consistent scaling is beyond Sannin which is probably just a level below that Naruto (like Pain arc Sage Mode) The thing is while in a styles matchup, really only Naruto, Hashirama, Kakashi in the war and after can legitimately defeat just off styles matchup with every other Hokage being debatable like in the video. Now LORE wise, Naruto eclipses that level with KCM for the most part and FOR SURE initial KCM2. Hashirama in base like you said is at a level stronger than that era Gokage. Tobirama and Minato alive or Edo really have good showings alongside a powered down EMS Sasuke and Mastered KCM (stronger than initial KCM2) Naruto with KCM Minato ~ Mastered KCM2 Naruto. War Arc Kakashi is clearly above OG KCM Naruto and towards the end rivals 1 arm Minato. Prime Hiruzen we know is ahead stated to be the strongest Kage of his lifetime. Even an older in Prime Hiruzen would’ve ALWAYS been stronger than 3rd & 4th Raikage, 3rd Kazekage, Rasa, Onoki, 3rd Mizukage & Yagura. Even Old Hiruzen would’ve been stronger. Edo Hiruzen given end of chapter statements about the 4 Hokage should just be at that Mastered KCM level as well, for sure above OG KCM Naruto. So really you have Tsunade and Old Hiruzen who are even relative lore wise to what the Raikage are with the others stronger clear cut. Didn’t include Danzo cause I don’t believe without hax he’s at Sannin level and even with hax, while he’s Kage level, he may just be at the Base Sannin level and for me that’s highballing it. I think the Raikage would destroy Danzo

[@ThunderGodTG]

Yeah bro encapsulated my general thoughts, This being especially consistent if you go off the Sannin ~> the 5 Kage generally speaking which you can make a case for empirically. Now I do think there are outliers even amongst the Kage but, you generally got it

[@abdurrahmanqureshi3030]

We don't know how strong the kazekages are because we haven't seen him in combat, but gaara is easily the second strongest of the 5 war kage, with only Onoki being stronger. Also base sannin is easily stronger than 3rd Raikage. Jiraiya was strong enough to take on the 6 paths of pain as well as kisame and itachi at the same time. Each of which are much stronger than the third.

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

@@abdurrahmanqureshi3030 Huh? Jiraiya literally said in SAGE MODE with TWO perfect toad sages on his shoulders continuously drawing nature energy in for him that if this fight drags out he’ll be KILLED. That was against 3 paths only. THREE! Base Jiraiya, although he was trying to bring out sage mode, was having trouble with just the animal path who alone could cause damage to the village akin to that of Orochimaru in part 1 alone. Jiraiya at no point took on Kisame and Itachi at the same time. The minute he came, they left. We find out later why with Itachi really just saving face and keeping tabs on Sasuke. It all checks out from him finishing Kakashi quick but not kill him, force Sasuke to hate more, seeking more power and ensure to Danzo that yes he was still alive and just cause Hiruzen died doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants. Sure, I think Base Sannin > Base Kisame easily and Peak Sannin >= Fused Kisame and would most likely win consistently given there even weirder hax. As for the Gokage during the war, sure you could say that although the four are all pretty relative with Onoki having the experience and best jutsu, Tsunade having the best strength and healing factor, Raikage speed and Gaara the sealing and support. It does also change throughout the war. I believe Gaara gets stronger and has better showings later in the war. Lastly, I have no idea what made you think the Base Sannin are stronger than the 3rd Raikage? None of them having anything in there arsenal IN BASE to damage him. He essentially tanked and cancelled out a rasenshuriken (it took him out of his lightning cloak but it’s supposed to as wind beats lightning) from OG KCM Naruto. Bruh what are the base Sannin doing?

[@danieldeleon5216]

If Kishimoto were to write the fight, he would 10000% Minato use Rasengan to redirect the the Lightning Spear back at him. His battle IQ is wayyyy too high for him to just throw Kinja and rasengan attacks until he loses without trying something more creative like what he did vs Obito
