How can it be a nerf when it's always been that way? Sasuke's eye came with a cooldown, it was clear as day except for the wankers. He's just not that strong compared to Naruto or Kakashi.

but tell me just one straight thing. Why the hell Kishi has ignored Kabuto's contribution to power up Sasuke, while Obito's contribution which power up Naruto is greatly shown.

Yes, I am Naruto Uzumaki great fan[fanboy at some point], I believe Naruto is supperior/stronger due to nine tailed beasts which Hagoromo summoned before giving Naruto and Sasuke his powers. But still I don't reason why Kishi would forget or ignore on purpouse Kabuto's power given to Sasuke after showing Kabuto and Obito as equaly important in the same panel

If I recall correctly, Kabuto only kept Sasuke alive and healed him using Hashirama's cells, he didn't actually give him a powerup. Hashirama did give him some kind of jutsu before he got stabbed, so I'm guessing if that will have any effect at all that we'll see it soon enough.

This is the link to one of my threads.

Seriously? You seriously can't tell the difference between Madara guarding himself from a frontal attack that he more than just likely absorbed the brunt of the damage from with his Rinnegan and an attack from the back when he was temporary vulnerable and acclimating to a new eye? Is this some kind of attempt to troll or are you really confused by the meaning of the word context?

well... read how FRS works in that chapter i dont remember, after he defeated kakuzu.
Tsunade explained it quiet nicely.

That was a normal frs, the lava frs expanded into a huge disc of fire that was bigger than madara and set the god tree on fire along the cut, madara did however had a cut on his body which was caused when it hadnt expand

So far it seems like Naruto got the major portion of Hagoromo's power,Sasuke's seems underwhelming in comparison.

Kishimoto has roughly 20 pages a week to tell his story. He's not going to spoon feed us every last little detail. Madara more than likely absorbed most of the damage of LRS that was aimed at him.

It might seem that way, but it's not that. They both got equal portions, however, if Naruto was already stronger than Sasuke before he got his - which is just an undeniable fact - Sasuke is not going to close the gap with an equal portion.

But that's not the point I'm trying to make. Sasuke is still strong, very strong in fact, but he's not as strong as he was perceived to be, which is why some people say he's nerfed. He's not.

^^ Well but Hashirama's DNA should give him no Tomoe Rinnegan in other eye... or six paths techniques in Tomoe Rinnegan left eye which he has. If not then then maybe enhanced Yang/stronger body's feats far from Naruto's but still some boost.

And lastly maybe wood release.

Wood Release is definitely possible, but for some reason I could sooner see Naruto use it now he has Earth and Water (through Son and Isobu) and Yang Release, which I believe make up the components for Mokuton.

Look at what Naruto got though:Yang Seal which can breathe life and restore missing organs to people,the power of all the bijuu,Goudama,flight,and Hagoromo's Senjutsu.

On the other hand......Sasuke got:Yin Seal which so far has'nt done anything special,PS,and that S/T jutsu which has crippling drawbacks.

It's obvious who got the shorter end of the stick here.

Sasuke is strong but he should be close to Naruto's level since Hagoromo gave them equal power.

I see what you mean. The power of Yin should allow Sasuke to create shape and forms from nothingness though.

Maybe he still has more to show off.

you also have a big misconception about mokuton and KG in general.
you cannot mix two elements and develop a KG, you need to be born with it which is why it is rare in the first place.

Learn to read, will you? I never stated anything to the contrary of how KKG work.

Both him and Kaguya were monumentally nerfed. Sasuke had his ludicrous cool-down and Kaguya, an individual whom is supposed to possess chakra that dwarfs the Juubi itself, gets nerfed by being low on chakra. Sasuke and Kaguya should be the strongest, but plot needs the main character to shine.​


GTFO with this bullshit that Sasuke and Kaguya should be the strongest... So Sasuke should be stronger than Naruto because he is Uchiha and has the eye power? What a joke...
First off, Naruto has 9 individual Beast inside of him with them co-operating with him which according to SOT6P, is true power.
How can Sasuke compete with that?
Then, Sasuke only got the watered down Juubi eye while Naruto got the sage's senjutsu..
Naruto is on a different scale than Sasuke..
Kaguya > Naruto > Sasuke and that's that.

I don't really see a nerfing, this is pretty accurate.
All I see is what was gonna make Sasuke OP backfired and his fans are mad.
Sasuke was good, but that was comparing him to all the old foes, Naruto, Danzo.

But the main cast has left him behind, he isn't useless, just not as powerful as those in the spotlight.

Suckske Uchichi is one of many antagonists in the magna that Kishimoto uses to develop the protagonist. He is simply one of the side or supporting characters. As such, Kishimoto attributes as much or as little "power" to suckske as he, the author, feels is necessary in order to develop the protagonist in each context.

So the OP is correct in that sense and point at which manga readers allow their emotions to convince themselves that any side character is somehow greater and more important to the story as the main character is the point those readers become irrational fanboys.

Bro I completely agree with you. These Sasuke fanboys believe that he is the best thing since ice cream(first thing that came to me). They just want their Lord Sauce to be the supreme ruler of NV so they make him seem OP and then when he doesn't fulfill their fantasies then they come to the base and hate all day.
