Indra's Arrow kinda sucks

[DarkStar1]

It's Sasuke's confirmed strongest attack (which he can never replicate ever again unless Naruto lets him)

Naruto countered it with 1 TBBFRS and 1 standard FRS

And has already created way bigger TBBFRS with the flick of his wrist that were bigger than Sasuke's Susano'o previously to combat Madara's meteors

Which caused explosions that absolutely DWARF Sasuke's Susano'o like an ant

Let alone his 9 TBBFRS where you can see the CURVATURE OF THE EARTH from its explosion radius

With this, we can conclude A) Naruto knew Indra's Arrow wasn't that strong, B) didn't utilize his full power, and C) stalemated Sasuke + Bijuu INTENTIONALLY to not grievously injure and/or kill him.

Not only is Sasuke's full power absolute pinnacle of strength attack not on par with Naruto's full power pinnacle of strength attack, but Sasuke can't even use it again (at least to the potency it was) without the Bijuu. Pretty shitty for an ultimate jutsu honestly. I wonder how it would stand against Shinsuusenju or Madara's Susano'o.

Indra Arrow depends on how much chakra Sasuke put for that attack. In VOTE 2 case he just used a portion of chakra from all tailed beasts and not all of it.

But Naruto have natural capability to collect and mold chakra from NE unlike Sasuke. NE is abundance around the planet and larger in quantity if we are to compare to Tailed beast chakra. Thats what Shinju absord to create Chakra fruit.

Back to Indra Arrow, amount of chakra are the determinant of the strength of this Jutsu. But infront of Naruto and his capability, Indra Arrow seems to be below its hype as final attack.

And other thing is, this jutsu only can be executed using Susanoo.

But apart from Twin FRS, TBBFRS and Massive TSB, Indra Arrow is one of the strongest final jutsu.

From there we get the clear idea on how convenience is Naruto can get.

Or D) Kishimoto doesn't care about scaling in the first place.

Though if you want an in-universe explanation, the simplest one is that Naruto simply compressed more chakra within his attack which creates the illusion that it's smaller when in reality, it accommodates for that through increased chakra density.

Seeing the magnitude of explosion from the curvature of the Earth > blowing up part of the Valley when the two attacks collide.

That rationalization doesn't work.

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

Maybe it's only stronger if INDRA USES IT

 

[NextGenNinja]

Well, naruto didn't say those two jutsu were his strongest(i think?). It might be a fully charged bijuudama that's his strongest tech.

^What i'm talking about.
The downside is he'd be severely drained.

 

[Wolves]

curvature? isn't that place a lot smaller than an earth for various reasons

 

[GreyWizard93]

Sasuke had intent to kill where as naruto didn't meaning he was holding back and still won. Indras arrow does suck.

That's true.

Then in all likelihood, Kishimoto didn't care about scaling other than the fact that the VoTE2 Clash produced a greater explosion than all of the previous attacks that occurred during the fight.

Well, that's unfair to say judging from the angle we've seen the explosion.

We don't know how big the planets are in kaguya's dimension. So that'd make the feat kinda useless to scale...

 

[Cooh]

Since Naruto is the hero Kishi needed something to counter the "villains" attack. Since Kishi was slacking and didn't care about the war arc he just countered that attack with two rasengan variations as he does always. Doesn't matter if it makes sense or not. :lol

This can be the most appropriate comment for this thread :lol

Stopped reading@Bold. Sasuke can make IA again he used bijuu's chakra to make it the first time because he himself was nearly out of chakra.

Also Naruto countered it with his strongest attack and added all the NE around them into that attack. No other technique Naruto have can come close to IA or double FRS with all NE around them.

 

[RasenUchihaChaos]

Maybe sasuke should have fired the arrow and warped it close range

 

[Esdez]

lol naruto used two of his biggest FRS to even match against it despite having elemental advantage. They reason his last FRS are strong cuz of Kurama who gathered a lot of nature chakra. If Sasuke uses Indra's arrow against Naruto's own FRS, Sasuke would've destroy Naruto.

 

[bam06005]

These threads are useless. You honestly think that Kishi took the time to compare panels for 100% continuity?

Story > Logic.

True, also the main earth, we've only seen the continent ( land of fire,lighting, rain..etc ) where the story takes place and not anything else on it.

But then its been shown kishi doesn't care about scale a lot of times

Actually, in the last. We get to see the earth from space.

Naruto was especially low on chakra, and had no more TSB to make into Rasenshuriken, meaning yes he could have made a stronger attack but only if he still gathered the Nature Energy. Without it nothing he can muster matches the force of Indras Arrow by Bijuu chakras.

I see no reason why Sasuke cannot make another Indras Arrow on his own. However, It'd probably be a last ditch effort recquiring mass chakras which weaken him.

Going by the theory that Sasuke could make one own his own I dont think its in Sasukes best interest to clash head on with Naruto jutsu-wise. But as we all know, Sasuke has very powerful chakras, it'd just take a huge toll on him.
