can?t believe how many people still say that Sasuke lost, that he was defeated 2, or three times. First of all, let me break down every scene of that fight.
Health and Mind set
1. Let gets this straight. Sasuke was wounded prior to the fight, thanks to his enounter with Itachi, which nearly ?killed? him, and Left him extremely exhausted. Cleary seen when he didn?t show us his amazing speed, which Madara is impressed with.
2. Sasuke?s objective from the very start was to capture the Hachibi, not kill it.
3. Hachibi had just woken up from a nap, meaning he was fully rested. And for those that says that Hachibi might not have been fully healthy after he woke up, because he was fighting or training, its simply bullshit. The manga gave no implication of that, further more, a Bijuu will restore your health and stamina faster when you rest. Just look how Tsunade made Naruto train until he was exhausted so that he would sleep for the next 3 days, just for him to wake up in a couple of hours like new.
4. Hachibi?s sole objective was to kill the people that wanted to capture him.
Hachibi lost because because he transformed into Beast mode
No, he didn?t. He lost because he was facing an Uchiha. Plain and simple. Sasuke at anytime could have just use amaterasu, and finish him off, but that wasn?t his objective.
Sasuke ?first lost? against Hachibi
1. Terrific, Hachibi pinned down a wounded Sasuke with his 7 swords, which took Sasuke by surprise. Sasuke was down but not out. Sasuke could have done many things to save himself.
2. He could have one shotted Hachibi with Amatrasu when killer bee went for the kill. So just like Sasuke was suprised and couldn?t react to Hachibi attack, Hachibi would have been surprised and wouldn?t be able to react in time to save himself from amaterasu. This remind me Kakashi?s situation with Kakuzu. Many people said that Kakakshi would have been killed by Kakuzu if Naruto and yamato hadn?t interved and this is simply bullshit. As stated by kakashi, he stated that he was about to use his MS to finish off Kakuzu right before Naruto and Yamato came. This is almost the same scenario, except for the Sasuke wanting to kill his opponnent.
3. Sasuke could have use his raiton sword the momento Hachibi was close enought to caught him off guard. If Chidori is able to cut through anything and we saw Sasuke?s raiton sword cutting through Hachibi?s tentacle, i don?t even want to know what Sasuke would have done to Killer bee in his normal mode.
4. Sasuke could have use his raiton neddles, the ones he used against Deidara to explode the mini bombs, leaving him an opening for Sasuke to evade the attack.
5. Not only that, even with multple swords stuck on his body, Sasuke still had the strength to hold back Killer Bee raiton sword from cutting through Zabuza sword.
Sasuke ?second lost? against Hachibi
1. This is simply bullshit. Sasuke always had Killer Bee on his sight when he came at him. Hell, Sasuke Tsukuyomi him, when he could have easily amaterasu his ass.
Sasuke ?third lost? against Hachibi 1. This is simple bullshit. He could have easily used Susanowo and block the attack. If Amaterasu one shotted the second strongest Bijuu, i don?t even want to know what Susanowo would have done to Hachibi. Probably rip his soul through his ass!!!
Final Verdict
1. A wounded Sasuke would have pwned Killer Bee?s ass right from the start with amaterasu, but people would have just said, Hachibi was simply the weakest Bijuu.
