Could sasuke have taken down pain

[Dizzldot]

i don't even know why people do this particular comparison.....SM Naruto was clearly stronger than MS Sasuke......they say Susano is the answer to everything that pain could have thrown at Sasuke or SM Naruto can't stand against MS Sasuke but they simply choose to ignore the feats of sheer power and subtlety that Naruto pulled off against pain...his taijutsu and sensing were simply in another league......even Shikaku admitted that any assistance from village would rather hinder his fighting

Its a fact SM naruto could beat early MS sasuke, but since we never saw him use it again after sasuke started using susanoo more people assume naruto never got stronger with it, and the answer to susanoo is simply the toad summons imo

toad summons are definitely an answer....also keep in mind Tsunade was cracking Madara's Susanoo with raw power and in my opinion Madara's Susano would be much stronger than MS Sasuke's....considering the feats of strength Naruto showed in SM simply stopping and flinginh that rhino summon i think he might be able to crack Sasuke's Susano at least when its in initial stage....i am only considering Hebi Sasuke not above that...Also due to variations in power level large rasengans and RS became a bit lame but didn't he fling around Kurama with those when he was fighting in his mindscape..replace Kurama with Sasuke's susano and you will get almost the same result

He gets wrecked just like SM Naruto did, except he won't have any Bijuu to save his ass.
