So I may be remembering this completely wrong, but I thought that water prison technique that zabuza used couldn’t kill people. That’s why he didn’t kill kakashi, and instead sent his clones after the actual target.
You are talking about the rookies in Part 2, most of which are still just high-level Chuunin at best, taking out someone easily on the level of the strongest of Jounin.
Naruto and Sasuke are a given, of course. Besides them… Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Shino. Huge “maybe” on all of them.
Can’t believe you said Jiroubou was stronger than Zabuza.
I’m actually not sold on Lee beating Big Z…not sure ow well he’d handle the jutsu game…outside of Gaara - we haven’t seen Lee go against anyone who’s a heavy jutsu user…his fight with Kimimmaro was just melee + blood limit, but not really jutsus…and even Gaara was going ‘soft’ on him IMO.
- :bluu:
Even if he’s all Taijutsu, Gates/Ura Renge might give him a shot, but like I said… Huge “maybe” on all of those kids.
So is Hanzo even alive? I guess that would explain why the Rain country is split in two.
No, Nagato decimated Hanzou and everybody connected to him.
I thought the anime took a different route. And how old is he anyway? Both he and Konan look young but they have to be pretty old since they were taught by a young Jiraiya.
I thought they were in their low 30s…shrug…thats not old…
- :bluu:
Says you, old man.
lol naruto
Shikamaru i think is more than a huge maybe. He took out that crazy immortal guy…although he did have the benefit of watching asuma get killed by him first. Even still he beat him one on one. Shino…it’s hard to say cause you really haven’t seen anything from him at all. All the times you have seen him though he’s pretty much just steven segal’d the person he fought. (meaning owned their shit)
Hey, I’m like Kakashi age right now…though I guess in manga years - I’m over the hill…
Yeah but Shika was more of a counter pick for Hidan…it had nothign to do with Shika being > Hidan. In that same vein, I think he can land an advantage and capatalize it, but its really based on how Big Z approaches it. IF he goes for blood from the get go, its GGPO…if he does the villain thing, talk it up or anything like that - then he’ll get caught. Man thinking on it, that fight was masterfully done, especially in the anime…the whole arc showed what the series should have been about from a villain stand point. At this point the kids are just too strong in the ninja world.

THIS YOU DUMB FUCKA! Ya momma should have coathangered you and left you unborn.

lol @ all rookie 9 in part2 being stronger than Zabuza. Prisoner of the moment…
my question is if the 4th sealed half of the 9tails power away with his death. then the 9t that naruto has is half of the 9t power and when naruto took the rest of the 9t’s power is was 1/4 of it because half of the rest was evil. so is it safe to assume that naruto has 1/4 of the fox’s power now?
No. You just made up some math.
zabusa is shit tier, hes at the same level as kurenai or asuma or any of these so called nowhere close to being hokages ass jounins. kakashit and gai are way stronger. of the rookies, neji, rock lee, bug dude might be able to compete with him. and as useless as sakura is, i think she would actually merc zabusa. she can bury him and his mist with 1 ground pound.
time skip kakashit would merc zabusa in 2 minutes flat, or even faster. theres no reason to go over the kage/aka level nins as theyre obvious. shit no need to go over sasuke and naruto, they would be even more obvious.
Beat me to it…
The 4th Sealed half the fox’s chakra in Naruto and took the other half with him to the grave. However, chakra is regenerative in nature - and more than likely (not a proven fact), the fox has regenerated at least most of its chakra at this point - so there is no “Naruto is only partially as powerful” as he could be. Don’t expect any more chakra upgrades short of Sage mode + Super Kyuubi Shroud. Any otherr boost he gets will be technique driven - sorta like Sasuke. EMS gave him his “I can do this forever” boost - now its a matter of new techniques if he wants to continue to grow.
- :bluu:
That roll your on…slow it down.
The only growth Kakashi has had post time skip was the MS development (which is still unknown to us) and its such a last ditch weapon, that its not really a factor IMO. As well - your letting bad match-ups and INTEL completely shift the scale of power. Since when was Asuma shit tier? Because he died to Guilty Gear-esque OHKO? No one KNEW what was going on. He was caught in a trap - that simple. As well your forgetting who exactl Big Z was - one of the 7 swordsmen along with Kisame. Sure there are varying levels of 7 Swordsmen of the Mist - but to get a title like that along with his ranking - he may not be Kage level, but he’s above ‘averae ninjas’ - otehrwise dude wouldn’t have hired him for such a major operation.
Your letting the fact that Rookie 9 has been on display cloud the concept of true rankings in the scheme of things. Right now - Neji is the only one who has even become a full fledged Jounin…let that sink in…none of them are Kurenai tier, or even guy with the toothpick in his mouth tier.
