Base Naruto~Base Sasuke as seen with their parity against the Ten Tails' clones at first
Possible? Sasuke definitely has better stats but maybe Naruto can fight a restricted Sasuke.
If during the time they fought alongside each other, sure. At Sasuke's peak, I'd argue his stats are MKCM2 level so nah.
If by that you mean legged, sure
I think PS EMS Sasuke~BSM Naruto
I do think.
I believe so.
Ehhhh you could interpret it like that but it could also be surprise at his chosen escape route
BoS, how would the individual members of the groups of kids do in a fight against a pissed-off Mizuki, and how would the groups of 3 do?
Yeah
That shouldn't be a surprise to Sasuke given the level of opponents he'd faced prior. He himself had "stuck to the roof" to fight opponents (five kage summit)
Oh, they probably all get slammed. Team Guy is the only arguable exception.
It's a high ceiling, and in terms of dodging it's an unorthodox move as he jumped a very unnecessary height.
they ninjas ???
What about the Sand siblings?
), especially considering Itachi dodged Chidori stream the same way, and Sasuke wasn’t surprised at his method of dodging.
I knew I could recall someone doing same against him before kabuto. I kept seeing Sasuke with the white bandages over his headMizuki is a Jonin, correct?
Also @MinatoSparkle, idt Sasuke would be surprised at that. That feels very “out of place” for him to be surprised at that (If that phrasing makes sense
Still, who in the series jumps dozens of meters to avoid a small AoE attack
Unless Gaara uses Shukaku's power, they're cooked
He's a chunin
He jumped, he didn't turn upside down midair to stick to a ceiling dozens of meters above. That was also against a Chidori stream in a small room where Itachi didn't really have much else to go, whereas here Kabuto could've simply darted to the side to dodgeAlso @MinatoSparkle, idt Sasuke would be surprised at that. That feels very “out of place” for him to be surprised at that (If that phrasing makes sense
He jumped up towards the ceiling… I don’t see how it’s any different aside from one making contact and the other being intercepted mid-air. The result is still the same.
The room wasn’t small, and Itachi had far more room to maneuver than Kabuto, whom was surrounded by Stalagmites, etc.
Why is that more valid or deserving of less scrutiny than simply jumping up over the ability?
It'd be like if when someone is hit with a light punch, instead of being like "Ugh!" they jump all over clutching their wound screaming at the top of their lungs. It's a very exaggerated choice.
It was spreading across the room; if Itachi darted to the side it would've followed in his direction, so jumping was the intuitive option.
Him specifically making note of him being on the ceiling does imply that. If it was just that he didn't see Kabuto move, he would've said "I didn't even see him jump to the ceiling," instead of the emphasis being on the location.Why is that more valid or deserving of less scrutiny than simply jumping up over the ability?
That’s why this take is “out of place”. Sasuke is well aware Ninja can jump up and/or stick upside down to surfaces (He’s done it and/or has fought someone who has done it). There is nothing that would justify or support him being “bewildered” or “Taken aback” that Kabuto jumped up over his ability and stuck to the ceiling vs dashing left or right or back or ducking, etc…
Uh...you can believe what you wanna believe, but I know what I believe and I believe that he is commenting on his chosen escape route and not the fact that he was perception blitzed
Ok…
well if you truly believe that, then I simply disagree with that interpretation as, “in my opinion”, it makes no sense in context to literally everything we know of the series, as well as what the character themselves know within the narrative.
This doesn’t really support your “specific” view on it tbh, but it does debunk a Perception Blitz.Yeah this makes it even less convincing
チィ!天井に･･･!
Chi! The ceiling...!
Really? I think Gaara's sand shield + sand armor would allow him to block Mizuki's shuriken, Temari's wind could move it aside in midair, and Kankuro's poison could put Mizuki down.
I don't think they're fast enough to block him
Tenten's not doing anything, Neji's likely too slow, and 4th-5th Gate Lee could keep up, but I don't see him doing much if any damage.
Naaaaaaaaaaaah
Not necessarily, but they have so much space between them
Tenten has Danmaku to put him on the backfoot with covering fire and smokebombs/explosives to disorient him and damge him through heat, Neji has Byakugan and Gentle fist Duraneg, so if he did hit, Mizuki would be fully open to the other ones, and Lee... is Lee.
Mizuki probably ain't got THAT MUCH chakra, plus... he fought at night, so there's a lot of shadows.
Don't underestimate the power of speedcliffing
Gets blitzed before doing any of that
Sure, but I have him slower than Base Lee, so you can imagine why I don't think his Gentle Fist is gonna have any practical benefits against someone of Mizuki's caliber
Is indeed the best chance they have
Shino: I have a plan, you two will distract him while I-
I wanted to distinguish it from NNG lol I feel like Ikemoto has a different MO for powerscaling
