Who was the best water release (suiton) user?

[Bogard]

I say Tobirama for 2reasons:
- He only needs one handseal to perform suiton suijinheki which normally requires something like 20handseals, which shows his mastery in the element
- I've never seen a suiton "attack" from Kisame sourceless. He essentially creates water before performing his attacks, but Tobirama can use suiton attacks sourceless

 

[Zlad]

Kisame Imo,
Tobirama has some hype I guess, but what he did in part 1 was nothing special...ninjas like darui and kakashi have done the exact same feats... imo this is only because of the power scale change from p1 to p2 ....All i saw tobirama did was spit water out and do a suiton

The thing is.. Tobiirama was known to create water at places it wasnt water at all with just one hand seal, that is something Kisame cannot do.

But I believe Kisame have more chakra than him, and if they fought in the water Kisame would have win without doubts.

First of all the shoten technique implemented roughly 30% of the original's chakra. Both kisame and itachi's clone had roughly 30% of their chakra;

Anyway it saddens me that nobody has called upon Mei. By feats the only person infront of her is kisame, though id honestly say they are around equal. She is the soul reason for countering all of madara's stupidly high katon jutsu's. Something that the 5 kage's wouldve had to come up with another way of countering them was it not for Mei. When it took a whole army to counter Madara's katon and Mei alone can accomplish this feat, she has proven herself as one of the best suiton users in the series

 

[Turson]

Its kinda funny that some featless fodder has more votes than Kisame in thread like this, but... oh well.

 

[thegame]

From what is known, it must be Kisame, however, too little is known about Tobirama to conclude anything. Even Itachi showed the same level of water ninjutsu in the 2nd part, but then again it's not possible to compare it. I do, however, doubt that Tobirama has better water release than Kisame. Kisame is pretty beast, but Tobirama has a lot of other abilities, so it wouldn't really be a problem for him..

Not sure, what you have been reading, bro, but Mei isn't countering anything... Gara and Onoki makes the shield. Mei is nowhere equal to Kisame is suiton.

 

[softkings]

and what makes you think hashi has jinchuuriki level chakras?

It is said that Senjis have really high chakra scale. Somewhere on a jinchuuriki lvl.

 

[Omnipotent]

Take solace in the fact there is no way you can. At least, no way to equal my comment's level of awesome.

Also, comic sans? Really?

Best font ever.

Ill start by saying she is the only person apart from zabuza to demonstrate the Kirigakure no jutsu in the manga;

She has shown the feats of countering very impressively madara's katon by herself. She like kisame seem to have large reserves to be able to produce such attacks on that scale in a place with no water. Also argue that her ability to combine katon and sution to produce futton makes her one of the best suiton user's, equal or slightly below kisame in the manga

 

[Baka Sennin]

by feats, kisame easily. tobirama was hyped out to be the best suiton user ever though. part 1 power levels make comparisons very difficult, esp since we saw kisame's full arsenal and only a couple of tobirama's jutsu.

btw, kisame is very easily kage level. he'd beat all the current kage, except maybe oonoki.

But he didn't beat Gai

 

[Owarij]

The omnipotent guy is saying that tobirama and hashirama were weakened... that's not true, Orochimaru had a perfected edo tensei.. that has been said in the manga....
That isn't the case..
Part 1 abilities are just on a lesser scale than part 2.... + the fact that the hokages were toying with old hiruzen





Big misconception i'm noticing in this thread.... Tobirama NEVER made water out of Air in the manga.. he did that in the anime, it's not canon

 

[Omnipotent]

So, if they were not weakened, then they were above their prime because they had Edo bodies. Which can't be true, because Madara states that Hashirama alone would be more than a match than the 5 Kage were. So you're saying Hashirama who's > 5 current Kage + Tobirama could have been defended the way they were by the aging Hiruzen? He would've been stomped.

So what you were saying is ... they were even more powerful than they were in their prime? And if they were scaled differently, then how can we even compare them? The only thing we have to go by is after Tobirama used but one B- rank suiton jutsu to counter the Sandaime Hokage's katon jutsu, the ANBU was left in awe and already placed him at Kage-level.

And once again, if Kabuto can improve on the Edo Tensei, then Orochimaru's version is not perfected.

 

[Strict]

It's not only the power level Kishimoto kept in part 1 Owarij, but also the reputation Kishimoto spread to certain characters. The Edo Tensei was indeed perfected and Hashirama has shown anything he had to offer. Old Hiruzen even claimed that he would stop Shodaime and Nidaime. The simply reason is that Kishimoto didn't consider Hashirama being that strong. The Senju are also known for their mastery of all arts and one thousand Jutsu. The scrolls with all techniques of Konoha were also in Hashiramas possession. Apart from this mastery of 1000 techniques hype, Hashirama has probably the most powerful Kekkei Genkai (as claimed in the databooks being the most versatile one) and medical skills far above Tunades level. These are feats that make realize that Hiruzens hype was too far fetched. Now we know, that Hashirama was the most powerful Shinobi, far above the level of all current Kage together and with powers anyone in the series is seeking for.

Kisame is the favorite here. There is no equality between him and Mei Terumi, Blaze. Her Suiton Jutsus have a good scale, but Kisame is still superior when it comes to flooding whole areas and shot huge shark bullets which can absorb strength of the victims techniques to even get stronger. Mei Terumi used two Suiton techniques in order to stop Madaras wildfire extermination. Kisames shark bullet however would have absorbed it and would have gotten even stronger.

Based on feats, Kisame is no 1. Don't bring up Tobirama.

What are you talking about? yes hashi and tobirama were supposedly more powerful than they have ever been, simply because they had infinite chakra , immortality etc...... There was no restriction on their jutsu ...
Orochimaru's edo tensei had no problems, his edos were not weaker , The only thing holding them back in anyway is the fact that orochimaru was controlling them, thus they can't possibly fight how they would normally fight themselves...

Hiruzen noted that hashirama's moukoton was the same, no reduction in strength etc...


As for the katon, better feats have been displayed in part 2 by ninjas like mei, kisame...It was nothing special

*Brings up Tobirama*

On another note, I thought it was obvious Kisame was better than Mei when it comes to suiton.

 

[Bogard]

I don't know why Kisame is that overrated with his suiton techniques. Can someone tell me when Kisame has shown a suiton "attack" without watersource? Mei and Tobirama are the best suiton users for me

Well in that case, Tobirama should've flooded Konoha. But that wouldn't have done well for plot, would it?

You just stated they were scaled differently.
