The level of justification used to upgrade the Sakura and the Kages and such can be used to upgrade Boruto.
For example he bruised Fused Momoshiki with his Vanishing Rasengan, which according to the anime is significantly weaker than his regular Rasengan.
He tanked a punch from Delta.
He
severely damaged Ku with his Rasengan.
The arc is actually in conflict with the Shikimaru Shinden novel; the novel takes places during the Mujina Bandit arc and Onoki is a supporting character and still alive, but the Mitsuki Disappearance anime arc killed Onoki before that.
Kawaki managed to intercept Delta's beam similar to Naruto.
If we accept every outlier left and right at face value, most characters would be equal to each other with no explanation. According to the novelization, Rock Lee would beat up Momoshiki due to his Taijutsu skills:
“You can only release jutsu that you’ve sucked up...right?” He said, “It’s the same trickery as the Scientific Ninja Tool Division’s toy.”
“In that case, we should mainly use Taijutsu and not let you suck up any jutsu.” Darui said.
Gaara continued as he expanded his sand and took control of the air space. “It’s the same as Kaguya, huh.”
In that case, it was a shame they hadn’t brought Rock Lee with them, but, well, it wasn’t bad to show off his taijutsu every now and then. |
So I guess he doesn't need the Eighth Gates to beat up Madara; how do we know that Momoshiki is not physically weak and that Fused Momoshiki wasn't holding back against the Kages?
Thoughts on pre-Juubi and pre-Fruit Kaguya doing this much damage to Isshiki?
We can say that it is hax (even though Isshiki's spine is still intact, and Isshiki is said to have ran out of energy), but if so why can't we say that Shikimaru's shadow is hax that prevents the opponent from using their physical strength, or that Chojuro's attack is hax?
How would Kaguya know about the future strength of Momoshiki and Kinshiki? Their invasion would've been centuries in the future and there is no telling how much stronger they can get through eating Chakra Fruits. Also they might have hax that allows them to steal the power of other Otsutsuki.
Nobody even scales to their base forms either, in case you haven’t paid attention. In the OP, base Naruto is scaled higher than all of the Kage, and so is Sasuke. The Kage and Shikamaru scale off of base Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Sakura scales off of a weakened Sasuke. Weakened.
How do we know near out of Chakra Sasuke and rusty Naruto who scale to Shin don't scale below Tier 5?
the narrative is the villages got stronger over the years to combat kaguya like foes, and we see them do just that
So how come Hashirama and Madara (while alive), who were among the most talented Shinobi to ever exist, not achieve such physical prowess?
