Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

You people are overestimating the third Raikage by a ton. Itachi could do a simple genjutsu with him stabbing himself with his ultimate sword, or seal him with the sword of totsuka. Minato could simply S/T barrier his arm back to him (well I don't know if that works but technically it should). Sasori could surprise him with poison. Battles like these depend on knowledge, matchup and location. And you can't simply use A>B>C logic. Water beats fire, fire beats wind, so water must beat wind, right? NO! The same goes for the various unique fighting styles naruto shinobi utilitze and should thus be considered. Also the general opinion on that one panel is that Itachi simply wanted to protect Konoha/Sasuke and thus lied to Kisame about Jiraiya's strength so they would back off.

They underplayed 3rd Raikage by a ton lol. He stopped 10,000 shinobi on his own for 3 straight days?

The manga didn't even pineappleing explain why Naruto beat him well. Naruto beat him because when he uses his single finger lightning hit, his lightning shield defense isn't as strong as it should be, which is why his own attack outclasses his shield and it hit him.

Naruto ONLY beat him because he had connections with Bee/8 tails, and tbh that was glitchy/weird as pineapple, because 3rd Raikage moves at insane speed, insaner speed than 4th Raikage. I'll accept that Naruto is able to get out of the way because of his Sage Mode natural energy sensing pomegranate and letting him know to move, just like how Sasuke's sharingan "prediction" let him move out of 4th Raikages attacks, but for him to move quick enough to push his attack against him so effectively? That's a little farfetched. He should have been able to drop his attack in time to not get hit (the only reason he got hit the first time was because he passed out).

Again, him vs. 10, 000 people for 3 days. 2nd Hokage "distracts" a group of 20 people for probably a few minutes so Danzo and 3rd Hokage could escape. Both Kage level. Pretty clearcut difference.

I'm posting too much in this thread I feel bad. I must be intimidating further discussion lol.
