Kakuzu opposes the Gauntlet

Premise​ Kakuzu has found out that Tobi's plan is to put the world in Mugen-Tsukuyomi, in which everyone's freedom will be controlled by the user of Tsukuyomi. Kakuzu is infuriated in which leads him to go on a rampage, and stop Tobi's plan. He will use any means necessary to eliminate the problem, even if that means killing his fellow Akatsuki members. Conditions​ I. Kakuzu is fully restored after every battle. II. Kakuzu starts in base; Hearts start within his Body etc. III. Manga Knowledge. IV. Kakuzu is only allowed to enter V2 if pressured into high difficulty. Combatants Hidan Konan Zetsu Deidara Sasori Itachi Kisame Pein (Bodies)​ I currently believe Kakuzu stops at Kisame. I feel as if they would tie. Both being able to take each other out 5/10.

Kaguya soloes.

Kakuzu solo's her.

Offtopic: I have a tanktop with your signature.

 

[The Necromancer]

Does Konan have prep time?

 

[RaitonOniKairRasengan]

I believe he stops at itachi. KA finishes him for sure

 

[Rainbow Dash]

Deidara nukes.

 

[Lana Del Taka]

Itachi and onwards beats him.

 

[The Necromancer]

Deidara nukes.

If Domu works on every cell of Kakuzu's body, Deidara can't even get through his main defense.

 

[DrProof]

Does Konan have prep time?

I'll edit that into the OP no character has Prep Time. Still don't think he would lose to her though.

I believe he stops at itachi. KA finishes him for sure

If Genjutsu worked on Kakuzu.

 

[AlphaScythian]

with prep even konan owns him and its even laughable that you think he takes itachi

 

[Rainbow Dash]

If Domu works on every cell of Kakuzu's body, Deidara can't even get through his main defense.

How so?
Deidara's bombs are strong enough to incapacitate the Sanbi, I hope you're not suggesting that Domu is more durable than a Bijuu.

[-immortal-]

He gets rapes by kisame tbh

 

[ChocolateVanilla]

Deidara stops him with C4, nukes the battlefield if things go wrong.

 

[Zexion~]

Loses at Itachi

 

[HENI]

Any of them can win.

 

[The Necromancer]

I'll edit that into the OP no character has Prep Time. Still don't think he would lose to her though.

I don't know man. Konan with prep is pretty unstoppable. Even if she spent the 30 years of her life making paper bombs, her 600 billion would have took 2,281,595 per hour!

What is this Genjutsu you speak of?

Kakuzu's Immunity to Genjutsu​

Section One

---

Kakuzu has an interesting body structure as many of you have already noticed, Kakuzu is able to deploy hearts using his tendrils (he's a rag doll after all) which are known as "ghosts" or masks. Now his body structure is the key to countering ANY, and ALL Genjutsu-based approaches, and here is why.

Take a look at this quote:

The human being requires a brain in order for all of our basic bodily functions to perform. Our hearts, our breathing, our kidneys, livers, digestion, evacuation, all of our bodily systems are operated by our brain. Without a brain to perform these basic functions, we die.

The only known organ within Kakuzu's body are hearts (need to use various elemental nature affinities) however, some may argue that it is irregular that he doesn't possess a brain, and that he more than likely possesses one.

I say this is false due to that fact that we've seen another Akatsuki member with a "5" in intelligence, along with no bodily functions limited; that shinobi would be Sasori.

The only living things on Sasori is his core, and what exactly did his core contain? Well it's rather interesting:

The left part of Sasori's chest held the lone human part of him and thus, the only necessary part of his body capable of controlling chakra: a cylinder-shaped device containing his 'core' (核, kaku).

So due to the quote above, all that is needed to operate the shinobi body is a chakra storage in which is capable of executing chakra through out their bodies to perform techniques, and bodily movements; basically chakra controls everything.

Kakuzu has a similar structure to Sasori, Kakuzu is a rag doll, while Sasori is a puppet they're both entities that we don't believe to have brains correct? (a puppet, or a doll having a brain would be quite absurd).

His hearts channel chakra throughout his whole body enabling him to control his tendrils (which take chakra to use as well; Jiongu), along with his elemental ninjutsu-based assaults/defenses. This is how his masks were able to fight independently even when he died multiple times, it's due to the fact that "the heart serves as a chakra executor" (all the body needs to function in the NarutoVerse is a chakra storage in which transfers chakra through the body).

Here you can see a dead Kakuzu, and his mask (containing each a single heart) acting dependent sort of like a symbiotic attachment like Kisame, and Samehada's relationship:

To furthermore prove that Kakuzu is truly immune to Genjutsu, take a look at this quote about Kinjutsu (Jiongu is a Kinjutsu after all):

Kinjutsu (禁術; Literally meaning "Forbidden Techniques") are techniques that have been banned from being taught or used.
This ban could have been put in place for any number of reasons, but kinjutsu can generally be put in either of three categories:

1) Techniques that cause harm to the user themselves, such as opening the Eight Gates, which the mere use of is both highly useful as well as detrimental to the user.
2) Techniques that violate the laws of nature (e.g. the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, which reincarnates the dead with a human sacrifice).
3) Certain techniques that are known to cause massive collateral damage, such as the total destruction of a village and end with the death of everyone in it, thus the great moral ramifications of its potential lead many to labeling it as a forbidden technique.

Pay attention heavily to the second category, "violates the laws of nature". Well isn't that exactly what Jiongu does? It allows the user a state of immortality, by the integration of a maximum of 5 hearts, while also allowing the user to take on a rag doll like body structure completely being made up of threads/tendrils.

Thus I can conclude that Kakuzu does not have a brain, uses his heart as a chakra executor to transfer chakra into his tendrils to perform bodily movements along with the ability to perform elemental attacks, and grants him immunity to Genjutsu

Section Two; Theory Revised​

Section Two

---

Section two was written by a very intelligent member in which we don't have with us currently any longer; pay close attention to this part as I can conclude that it is the ideal changer.

To strengthen the possibility of Kakuzu being immune to Genjutsu I have to bring out a few scenario's similar to the premise:

When Orochimaru absorbed his Chakra from Kabuto, he obtained memories and information from him.

When Itachi prodded Sasuke he forced information - Amaterasu - into Sasuke, the fact he had Itachi's MS style shows his influence.

Just confirms that in the NV that Chakra can contain information, that a heart as the source of Chakra can be seen as Kakuzu's 'brain'.

There's also the fact that if he's connected to any of his hearts and is subjected to Genjutsu that the mask's different Chakra signature would cancel it out - an outside force.

Loses at Itachi

Kakuzu doesn't lose to Itachi. What does Itachi have that takes out Kakuzu?
