I doubt that, Saï wasn’t a fight it was intimidation and he was just knocked back.
On the Orochimaru fight just after the arc he killed him with his physicals and only used illusions when Orochimaru tried to trap his Spirit.
He proceeds to use it on Danzo but not as a first move, more to gain an edge at a certain point.
Didn’t use it as a first move against Deidara despite almost dying, and only used it to fake his death and to get an occasion to punch him while distracted.
He did not use it as a first move on KB either blud was litteraly exhausted when he resorted to use it.
The only times where he uses it first Is outside of fights to gain infos (ie. Zetsu, KB search) or to intimidate (ie. Sai) or to avoid conflicts (ie.Jugo)
Ik the profiles are shit sorry for that the dude that was supposed to change everything just abandonned NNT completely without even looking back.
CBL Zel was comparable to Meli and Meli scales to DK ZEL even in base form/DM1 aka 189 Exatons iirc maybe i’m wrong so let’s just say he Is at 1.890 Zettatons with his 10x amp it’s still a one shot gap.
Basically him using magic on his weapon
Here i don’t have Time to find the correct translation but the real panel talk about speed that doubles
He would be drawn into Zeldris attacks and get one tapped
His sharingan would get blitzed too
He wouldn’t
It’s independant
His boosts aren’t permanent, he can’t get exposed to Miasma for long and he has AP, LS, Speed disadvantage on top of CBL Zel being able to use ON even while moving/flying
