Is it safe to say Sasuke>Nagato?

[Shura]

No...Amour of that caliber wouldn't protect you from the heat caused by Amaterasu. [

] Madara absorbed it immediately via Gakido, hence why Hashirama stated that he absorbed 'Ninjutsu'. Kabuto wasn't attuned with Nagato's abilities:

OT: Perhaps, leaning more towards a 'yes' if his Kanzentai Susano'o rivals Madara's in defense and Offence.
​

Fair point, however, notice how in the same scan you posted the Samurai is holding his arms in front of him before Amaterasu actually landed on him? Unlike the rest of his body, his arms aren't covered in armor since the black thing is cloth and not armor. He merely screamed in pain because Amaterasu landed on his arms.

In Madara's case, it only hit the armored part of his body, his backs. [

The point about Kabuto is good, I guess, even though he managed to use all of Nagato's techniques.​

Don't speculate. If it was a regular cloth it would have totally been descintegrated by this point [

] or would have left some portion of the Samurai severely burnt. The back parts of Madara's outfit isn't protected by the solid armor as you believe.

He didn't experience excruciating pain because he was already absorbing the Jutsu.​

 

[KidGamer65]

The same way he used In'youton without it.​

Yin-Yang Release isn't a Rinnegan technique though nor does it require the Rinnegan to use. Izanagi is a form of Yin Yang Release, which can be used by only those who have Senju and Uchiha's DNA. That leads me to believe only Senju and Uchiha genetics/power are needed to perform Yin-Yang Release.

Izanagi is only a practical example of Banbutsu Sozo and it doesn't require Uchiha and Senju DNA as there were those of the Uchiha clan who abused the Jutsu, having nothing to do with Senju DNA. The Rin'negan is the only element that would allow a Shinobi access to In'Youton. [

Which clearly isnt doujutsu related, more like just mix of uchiha n senju enough. Otherwise we have SM rinnegan EMS madara. Cuz where is the limit to what he can use.

 

[tatonation39]

That sasuke could what I said he could do.

Look this is plain simple. I am saying sorry for the future disrespect but for everyone who believes that sasuke has sword is and idiot. Also he can't do this without narutos help. Also Nagato young before 6 pains he will take sasuke and ***** slap him acriss all of naruto. Now I don't needbpics to prove nothing its clewr as day in the manga and anime. Naruto in kcm and bee could not have beaten nagato what ij gods name makes you bekieve Sasuke alone can beat him when itachi used sword nagato did not dodge it caise he was not in control of his body so please. So being such sasuke wankers amd understand that nagato was on a whole different level please this is not a fair fight its like saying sasuke can be the sage of 6 paths plain stupid argument seriously

On topic I find nagato abit bothered in dealing with these. He isnt used to big toys

 

[VongolaX]

Sasuke wins

Preta can't absorb susanoo

When madara try to use Preta while susanoo activated against the five kages.

It failed

 

[VongolaX]

No

Sasuke can't beat him
Naruto can't beat him
Itachi can't beat him

None can solo nagato with gedo.

But Hanzo did :|

Itachi, Sasuke, and Naruto @sswhip Nagato mid diff to low.

/Post

 

[lordryoko]

nah Nagato takes this, Sasuke will start the fight with some type of chidori variant,most likely with sword, when that fails because of ST, Sasuke will try Amar, which will be absorbed or repelled (Nagato showed he has the skills to sense this against Itachi and Madara has shown that Amar can be absorbed). If Sasuke gets angry as he prolly will because he hasn't been able to hit Nagato yet, he will try Susanoo and use its bow and arrow. This is actually Sasuke's best chance but Nagato can use CT here and pretty much end the fight. Nagato can also use hi summons at anytime in the fight. Nagato is on another level to the pains and we all saw what they can do...

 

[SeriousDogg]

LOL Nagato rapes Sasuke med difficulty.

 

[adeshina365]

Sasuke needs better feats before we can say that he beats Nagato.

Those feats will come shorty; along with a new power-up(s).

 

[-Sky-]

Nagato? Not a chance.

Pein? Small chance.

 

[adeshina365]

Nagato? Not a chance.

Pein? Small chance.

He definitely loses against, but Pein? He slaps him (them) silly.

 

[genii96]

Nagato mid diff,shockwave is tanked bt gedo and deflected back at sasuke by ST,that is,if he has it

 

[VolatileSoul]

If his Susano'o is the same level of Madara's, then yeah, he is above Nagato. The only paths Sasuke would need to worry about are Deva and Preta path. Simply attacking from a distance with a PS shockwave or Kirin which cannot be absorbed counters Preta Path. Perfect Susano'o has enough power to just withstand Shinra Tensei and Bansho Tenin and break Chibaku Tensei.

You're full of crap. You do know Nagato can absorb his Susanoo, it doesn't matter how big it is. And you're daft if you think Nagato will watch Sasuke conjure up a Kirin. Sasuke cannot break a full powered Chibaku tensei, Kurama could barely break out and Nagato said to himself he'll probably have to make a bigger one. So obviously Nagato can make a Chibaku tensei much larger than the one that held 8 tailed Kurama. You think Susanoo can withstand full power Shinra Tensei that destroyed a whole village?

The same Gaara pulled Madara out of Susanoo, Nagato can use Bansho tenin to pull Sasuke out of his.

 

[xxSasukEkUnxX]

Only if nagato is edo and can survive the aftermath of amaterasu after shinra tensei (which can be countered either way with a large scale amaterasu.) At the moment, sasuke blitzes the **** out of him.

 

[NarutoIndra]

Nagato mid diff. against Sasuke. People need to stop underrating Nagato...

 

[Troi]

Mid-high diff? Lol I cannot believe my eyes. Sasuke wins high diff only if anything. I strongly believe Nagato>Sasuke, though.
