Ik, but I haven’t seen that ever be sourced, so idk if that should be taken into account or if the manga ever actually puts Kitsuchi on that nigh-Kage level."He should at least be stronger than other Jounin, stated to be a candidate for Tsuchikage"
This is a part of Kitsuchi's AP reasoning during Shippuden/ the War Arc
The 7-A+ value? Or the High 7-C value?If there’s nothing that actually puts Kitsuchi on that high of a level, I think that at least elite jōnin like Kakashi, Kurenai, Guy and Asuma should scale to him.
Neither, I mean the 7-C or Low 7-B calc he has.The 7-A+ value? Or the High 7-C value?
base naruto can tank his own Rasenshuriken so its not just enduring itHow the hell is there three pages of this already... Can somebody give me TL;DR before I dive into this?
EDIT:
Sage Mode Naruto's regular AP does not scale to his own Rasenshuriken. In his Sage Mode he could only create two of them at a time before completely expiring his Sage Mode.
Do you think if he only threw two punches or two Rasengans he would completely use up all his chakra?
There is also a massive difference in the effects of his Rasenshurikens compared to his regular attacks... Look at the difference between his Rasenshuriken utterly vaporizing one of Pain's bodies VS. his regular attacks which do significantly less damage.
EDIT2: I also saw a calc for calculating Pain's durability based on how far away he was from the Six-Tails Biju Bomb... but if you look at the chapter where that attack happened, the attack didn't directly hit him. It only grazed him then went past him to carve a huge hole out of Konoha.
EDIT3: Sage Mode Naruto has not tanked his own Rasenshuriken. The "enduring" part is about him not being harmed by the internal slicing part of it that damaged his chakra lines.
EDIT4: We also need to discuss the consistency of Naruto's Rasenshuriken being High 7-A, because none of his other Rasenshurikens have had that kind of huge explosion effect.
Yeah, I agree with this. There’s definitely exceptions (the first four Hokage all come to mind), but generally, there is a pretty consistent level of power for each rank to be on. Like, just look at the Five Kage in the War Arc. They aren’t exactly equal, but they’re all still roughly comparable to one another. Same with the sensei of the Konoha 12.The Kage at least have shown themselves to be in the same league. Yes, each one specialized in a particular area of Ninjutsu, but they all showed themselves to be more or less comparable.
I think there's always exceptions of course, but famed Jonin like Kakashi and Zabuza being hundreds of times weaker than Kitsuchi seems odd to me, even during the Part 1 events.

And it’s not like we’re scaling every single jōnin in existence to Kitsuchi, only the elite ones. So someone like Ankoas much as it pains me to saywouldn’t scale, but elite jōnin, bodyguards of the Kage, people like that would scale.

SIMP!!!
But yeah lol, I agree. Only elite Jonin would be in the conversation to scale here, so it wouldn't cause any issues or inconsistencies.
I think that people like Danzō and his guards could scale as well.
I’m sorry, how exactly is this supposed to be an argument? Do you think that the Aburame Clan can’t be a certain level of AP because of how they fight or something?somebody we've only seen fighting through the use of microscopic chakra-eating insects...
I'm saying this his fighting style doesn't revolve around having a certain level of AP.I’m sorry, how exactly is this supposed to be an argument? Do you think that the Aburame Clan can’t be a certain level of AP because of how they fight or something?
is this ironicSure.
He doesn't scale to Susanoo but he scales to Base MS Sasuke who is High 7-A. Sasukes Susanoo is 6-C due to being superior to 4th Raikage.He was getting squished to death by the Susano'o, so I don't think he scales to it at all without his summon amping his Futon attacks.
Meh. Personally, I’d say that giving them a tier similar to those in the same rank is infinitely better than just making them Unknown.Id argue that AP does scale somewhat with rank as often times a shinobi is a certain rank because of their power. but it's certainly not cut and dry and should be evaluated on a case to case basis; supplimented with context.
If a character has no feats nor narrative or thematic elements that could allow them to scale to someone then it's rather best to put them at Unknown than just slapping a tier on them.
I agree with this 1000%, and I'd like to point out that LordTracer and myself aren't arguing that every single Jonin under the sun are the exact same just because of rank. We were just arguing for a few elites that have a lot of hype behind them. But yea, we should examine each case individually of course.Id argue that AP does scale somewhat with rank as often times a shinobi is a certain rank because of their power. but it's certainly not cut and dry and should be evaluated on a case to case basis; supplimented with context.

How is it superior to the Raikage though?He doesn't scale to Susanoo but he scales to Base MS Sasuke who is High 7-A. Sasukes Susanoo is 6-C due to being superior to 4th Raikage.
Well V1 raikage couldn't destroy Sasukes ribcage, and V2 could but I still think that even V2 can't destroy full Susanoo. Also Base MS Sasuke could be High 7-A if we consider him stronger or at least relative to his past CM2 self. So idk what we will do, but Danzo needs to be at least 7-A.How is it superior to the Raikage though?
Also base MS Sasuke is not High 7-A.
But you're right that Danzo would be significantly higher than the 7-C/Low 7-B calcs since base Sasuke should be 7-A.
All Konoha ninjas, Kisame (30%), Itachi (30%), Hebi Sasuke
That depends on what tier 100% Kisame is. If he’s High 7-A, then yes, Neji would be 7-A.Part 2 Neji defeated a water clone of a 30% Kisame. Is that enough for 7-A or are we gonna scale him to 7-C/Low 7-B? Also I think that we are using the Sage mode multiplier.
