Help was Help. No dodge around the fact.
The Soldier, Minato, required Help from the wholesome sect of the sector the dude owned. The person who brought The Fox, into the sector, had a tough pace, control The Fox. No dodge around the fact. The person further cemented the fact, underestamation of the dude(Minato) and focus on The Fox more than focus on the battle, was the sole feature of the loss, suffered. The person overwhelmed the dude. Had spammed God Thunder for dodge of base CQ-Combat purpose. The bare fact, help of the sector added, the dude could bare race toward the goal, so much the Match selection factor was just "half second" difference on who won, spoke for the portrayal of the person(Tobi) over the portrayal for the dude added with the help from the sector the dude owned. Could the dude have won had the person had better more stead control over The Fox? Never.
Could the dude have won had the person had fought former, solo-all alone-no enterfarence added the fox plus better control? Never. That was not portrayed on the Manga.
- No Proof the man on place(Itachi) could not subdue the core, solo. The man taught moral of pursue goals, together, onto both toddlers(Bee/Naruto), and the man was gonna subdue the core on the own? Does such act not contradact the moral taught prior subdue the core? The act go VS moral taught onto both toddlers.
- Both toddlers "helped" on the "goal" on the moment extrapolated now. Never more, never less. The man had done all on the own. Stole ocular perception(through base tools), race-chopped(the arm), earned respect of controller(Kabuto), further, the foe(Nagato) apologazed onto the man, not the both toddlers. Does such focus to the fact the foe thought the man was the powerful opponent among both toddlers?
" Itachi, I'm sorry for causing you trouble", no apologaze onto the group overall(Bee, Itachi, Naruto amassed)
