He stated Roshi gave him trouble, and Kisame can recover stamina so "visually" isn't really applicable here. Other points can be disputed but for what its worth Kisame had much more thought and time in him from Kishi than Kakuzu by far.

Not to mention Kakuzu was also portrayed to go through Akatsuki partners (by killing them) like a runny nose goes through tissues :lol so the fact that Pain still had him remain within the organization says something at least, nevermind the fact that he killed that many strong enough to get in the Akatsuki.

Kisame didn't actually say that, but he implied it, which is why I literally wrote troublesome. Roshi was stripped of his face mask and armor, while Kisame visually came out of the fight completely unscathed, which doesn't have a whole lot to do with recovering stamina. Especially when NarutoX's basis was that Samehada couldn't absorb any of his Lava Style chakra. Roshi gave him trouble, but by observation of Kisames appearance, this couldn't of possibly been an extreme difficulty fight. And again, this more so talks about Roshi's overall strength.

Yes, Kakuzu is a powerful asset. Just because I don't think he's in Kisame's league doesn't mean I'm implying that he's weak. Even putting feats aside, If you actually know this manga, you know that Kisame was quite clearly placed on a higher pedestal.

One thing to consider is that Kisame's portrayal didn't seem so favorable when he fought Roshi. It's explicitly shown that Samehada struggled with consuming a large quantity of heat energy and being forced on rely on his own reserves due to Yoton led to Kisame performing rather horribly against Roshi who was substantially weaker than Bee. I think that in itself would suggest that Kisame wasn't portrayed to be one of the top dogs unless he was augmented by an abundancy of chakra and weakened his opponent as a result which was the obvious case with Bee.

Additionally, I completely forgot to mention this.

Even if you want to argue that Samehada didn't contribute a whole lot given it's disliking to Katon flavored chakra, the DB quite literally states that Kisames Suiton outmatched Roshi's tailed beast chakra fueled Yoton.

They are merged with Kakuzu, not using hand signs is irrelevant as they aren't independent. They are apart of his body so I'm not sure why you brought that up. Not to mention the same thing was the case when he captured Kakashi. The only time he hasn't used hand signs is when he's already directly connected to his hearts. When they are out of his body on their own he's used hand signs to manipulate their chakra. Every. Single. Time.

When they were merged with Kakuzu they did NOT used Atsugai or Zukokku, which requires hand signs. So being merged isnt relevant for the Mask to use ninjutsu. How does being connected to Kakuzu, change anything when they are still connected to Kakuzu even if separated?

You said the same case was when he captured Kakashi, Kakuzu used hand signs with Katon+Futon combo? Proof and I'll concede.

Why does Itachi have to kill him? Incapacitating him is all the effort he needs to end this match. Not to mention basic intel tells him that Kakuzu has some sort of immortality, assuming basic intel refers to what he would have in canon, and he knows very well why Kakuzu and Hidan were paired together.

Not a bad idea actually. But can't Kakuzu just have his Mask kill him and revive him?

You said he's limited as to where he can go next. If those aren't the same thing or along similar lines then my bad.

Na, for Atsugai he is going to get push by the winds, which is good for Kakuzu, being a mid range fighter. till he can get Itachi going mid air, which is the best way to capture.


They were all in the same place.


There is no "specifically targeting" someone when the jutsu in use is that wide. The scan shows Team 10 sliding across the ground, so common sense tells you that they simply dashed/jumped backwards, but not high enough to actually make them vulnerable. Itachi easily does the same.

. And why would Shiki yell at them, to check on them both, to see if they were alright? If they all jumped to the same location?

And I said "specific" as in Hidan trying to capture Kakashi in mid air. As he cant go after all of them in mid air. So Im going by the logic and actualon panel time to determine what happen here.


No reason why he can't. Kakuzu's jutsu don't stop Itachi from advancing toward his position, they only slow him down.

Unless Itachi can defy the wind gust from pushing him away, then yeah no reason. Or purposefully using Katon as the only option to advance forward by going mid air then yeah.

Already explained why that mind set is irrelevant anyway.

Cleared my name

I never said they are as durable as cloth. They simply have no durability feats, at all.

-Took blades to rip through his flesh....so? :lol.

-Took Raikiri to rip through them? No. More like Kakashi used Raikiri to tear them, not that he needs a piercing/cutting ability on par with Raikiri to cut them. As if that'd matter anyway. Amaterasu can burn the Hachibi's clone down to it's Bijuu Mode in a minute. Threads are nowhere near that level in terms of durability. And I never said it burns the threads and Kakuzu instantly. I said it burns the threads and then ignites Kakuzu before he can detach them all.

-Cleared the difference between augmented and not.

-Yet couldn't completely burn Karin instantly. And the fastest burn it had shown against flesh was with Danzo. And he wasnt burnt to crisp until it completely consumed his whole body. Then we have Nagato's scenario. Thats not going to happen when detachment ability of Kakuzu takes no time at all.

Lmao. You need to read before you reply. I never mentioned Kakuzu's Katon. I said what if he uses it AGAINST KAKUZU like he did against Sasuke's Katon.

Um no I read it clearly. Read what I actually said. And Ill just rewrite it in your own words. "If Itachi uses Amaterasu like he did against Sasuke's Katon" it will would require Itachi to aim at Kakuzu's Katon, that follow his LoS to grow and extend that way. Amaterasu size is based on the users LoS. Get it?

Itachi CANT decide the size of Amaterasu. The reason it was the size of Sasuke's Katon because thats what his LoS see.

Focus? Lmao. He'd need to be able to get them underground without Itachi's knowing in the first place, which he won't be able to do before he's hit, nor will he do it while he's being raped by Amaterasu.

Exactly what my precise states. In order for Kakuzu to block Ammy with Jingou, requires Kakuzu to muster up and produce alot to form a wall, blocking Itachi's LoS. If his LoS is covered by Jingou that can also be an opening to hide something behind him too.

Why would the heart possess any other nature besides the one it came with? Maybe Kakuzu himself could learn the Earth Element but that doesn't mean that his masks can do the same thing. And no, the bold doesn't fit logically nor is it supported by anything. Kakuzu uses his chakra to use their nature transformations, so how would that allow them to access his own?

Everyone is born with 1 chakra nature, BUT doesnt mean they cant learnothers, you should know this part. The That logic is no different by the fact that Kakuzu can teach his Mask to use certain Earth Element jutsu either. As at the end of the day they are using his chakra to begin with.

And even if this line of argumentation is not accepting, the scenario where Kakuzu hide his arm could of been his own heart, considering Kakashi took out heart that was keeping Kakuzu alive via Suiton heart.

How does Deidara using the jutsu w/ no arms change the fact that an arm without a chakra network can use said jutsu? Deidara w/ no arms can still channel chakra through his body. An arm separated from Kakuzu's body isn't an arm that can produce Ninjutsu, it's just an arm. So how can said arm use the Earth Release and then use Hiding Like a Mole?

You are responding like I stated "you need arms to use this jutsu" even though if you actually read what that said carefully enough you'd realize that isn't even close to what I'm saying.

Bro are you trying to apply logic in Kakuzu's Kinjutsu ability? Where his ability violates the laws of nature? We already established that Jingou and hearts are all thats needed access, use chakra, its network, and natures.

What?

-They were behind the tree.
-The part where Kakuzu would logically have been before he jumped away is covered by a text bubble or smoke.

NO Smoked otherwise we wouldnt of seen Hidan's weapon (which his smoke screen was cleared simultaneously with Kakuzu's). Text bubble excuse too? Now explain that to me how context for us blocks Shikimaru's field of vision, which he could of cleary see in mid air snipping them.

1. You've been saying that they can use Katon and Fuuton outside of Atsugai and Zukkoku, but I've yet to see actual evidence besides the fact that they were smaller in scale, which isn't evidence. Them looking different isn't evidence either. Atsugai+Zukkoku looks far different than Zukkoku on it's own despite it being nothing but an enhanced version.

2. It doesn't matter either way. You tried to use that as evidence that they can manipulate chakra on their own, but they were merged with Kakuzu's body. Which isn't the same as them being independent of his body. Whatever connection they have when they aren't merged with his body isn't the same as being apart of the same body as him so that's a moot point to try and bring. The masks are only stated to be independent autonomous entities when they are separate from his body. Not anything else.



You said the same case was when he captured Kakashi, Kakuzu used hand signs with Katon+Futon combo? Proof and I'll concede.

The same thing was obviously referring to the first part of that statement. I clearly stated whenever they were on their own he's needed to use hand signs to have them use their jutsu.

Not a bad idea actually. But can't Kakuzu just have his Mask kill him and revive him?

No, because he'll be incapacitated.

Na, for Atsugai he is going to get push by the winds, which is good for Kakuzu, being a mid range fighter. till he can get Itachi going mid air, which is the best way to capture.

Except that's not how it works. If that was how it worked then Kakashi wouldn't have been able to dodge point blank as the wind would've pushed him.

. And why would Shiki yell at them, to check on them both, to see if they were alright? If they all jumped to the same location?

Who said they jumped to the same location? I said they all evaded in the same manner. Whether or not they landed at the same time doesn't matter. Your claim doesn't make sense. It traveling along the ground doesn't mean you need to jump to evade it. It's range isn't infinite. It travels then explodes into a ball of flame, so sliding back far enough lets you evade without going in mid air. Or doing what I already said, jumping but not high enough to leave yourself vulnerable lets you dodge it.

And I said "specific" as in Hidan trying to capture Kakashi in mid air. As he cant go after all of them in mid air. So Im going by the logic and actualon panel time to determine what happen here.

But the way Shikamaru dodged means that he didn't jump high in the air. Kakashi did, which is why Hidan was able to go after them. Stop saying you are using logic and what happened on panel to determine what will happen here when you are making excuses for why the other 3 weren't in the air while Kakashi was. Kakashi chose to dodge that way, they didn't. It's that simple.


Unless Itachi can defy the wind gust from pushing him away, then yeah no reason. Or purposefully using Katon as the only option to advance forward by going mid air then yeah.

There is no wind gust pushing him away. Nothing like that is shown in the Manga and your only evidence for the gust being strong enough to hinder his evasive ability is because it's a Fuuton. Kakashi dodged it at almost point blank range. There is no follow up attack that will blow him away.



-Yet couldn't completely burn Karin instantly. And the fastest burn it had shown against flesh was with Danzo. And he wasnt burnt to crisp until it completely consumed his whole body. Then we have Nagato's scenario. Thats not going to happen when detachment ability of Kakuzu takes no time at all.

-A fireball the size of her head is not a fireball the size of Kakuzu's body.
-He was hit and not even a second later he was completely burnt up. Kakuzu doesn't need to be completely burnt up for him to die. Only a large portion of his body needs to be burnt up. Nagato's scenario is also irrelevant for reasons stated below. Itachi can continue to produce flame at his focal point, meaning any detachment strategies fail very very hard.

Um no I read it clearly. Read what I actually said. And Ill just rewrite it in your own words. "If Itachi uses Amaterasu like he did against Sasuke's Katon" it will would require Itachi to aim at Kakuzu's Katon, that follow his LoS to grow and extend that way. Amaterasu size is based on the users LoS. Get it? Itachi CANT decide the size of Amaterasu. The reason it was the size of Sasuke's Katon because thats what his LoS see.

What are you talking about? Again. Read before you reply because this is pretty ridiculous. When Itachi used Amaterasu on Sasuke's Katon he continued to produce the flame until it was consumed. Instead of doing that to the flame he does that to Kakuzu. He continues to produce flame till Kakuzu is burnt to nothingness. Quit mentioning Kakuzu's Katon because no one stated anything about his Katon. Quit mentioning Sasuke's Katon's size. No one mentioned anything about that. Same goes for Amaterasu's size. If you really read it clearly you wouldn't be addressing a point no one made.


Exactly what my precise states. In order for Kakuzu to block Ammy with Jingou, requires Kakuzu to muster up and produce alot to form a wall, blocking Itachi's LoS. If his LoS is covered by Jingou that can also be an opening to hide something behind him too.

But none of this matters because the time between him using Amaterasu and Kakuzu getting hit and dying isn't a long enough period of time for Kakuzu to go underground w/ a mask or some shit like that and actually kill or hinder Itachi or stop him from using said Amatersau.

Everyone is born with 1 chakra nature, BUT doesnt mean they cant learnothers, you should know this part. The That logic is no different by the fact that Kakuzu can teach his Mask to use certain Earth Element jutsu either. As at the end of the day they are using his chakra to begin with.

What is stored in the heart is their affinity. There is no evidence that taking someone's heart means you got the natures that they learned. And now you aren't making any sense. Them both using the same chakra doesn't mean they can use the same elements. There is no "teaching" going on either as his masks aren't shown to be beings capable of learning extra chakra natures. They are hearts with bodies made of threads controlled by Kakuzu's chakra. Don't make this more complicated than it really is. There is zero evidence his hearts possess any other nature outside of the ones they are shown to possess.


And even if this line of argumentation is not accepting, the scenario where Kakuzu hide his arm could of been his own heart, considering Kakashi took out heart that was keeping Kakuzu alive via Suiton heart.

"could've been" isn't evidence. What is shown and stated in the databook is that Kakuzu's arm was detached using his threads. Nothing more, nothing less.


Bro are you trying to apply logic in Kakuzu's Kinjutsu ability? Where his ability violates the laws of nature? We already established that Jingou and hearts are all thats needed access, use chakra, its network, and natures.

Lmao. Terrible attempt at a cop out. "Oh, but it doesn't follow the laws of nature" isn't an excuse that lets you apply whatever argument you want to it with no evidence. Kakuzu's hearts use Ninjutsu because his hearts actually have chakra networks and are controlled by his own chakra.

His detached limb does not fall under any of those categories. It's not a heart. It has no chakra nature. So how is it using Ninjutsu on it's own? :lol


NO Smoked otherwise we wouldnt of seen Hidan's weapon (which his smoke screen was cleared simultaneously with Kakuzu's). Text bubble excuse too? Now explain that to me how context for us blocks Shikimaru's field of vision, which he could of cleary see in mid air snipping them.

I'm pretty sure you know you are wrong here and are just trying anything that comes to mind at this point.

-Hidan's weapon is irrelevant. Hidan's weapon isn't where Kakuzu released his arm. There is smoke shown in that panel. That is one of the two possible areas where Kakuzu could've released his heart based on the scans I just posted.

-The part of the scan where the text bubble covers is the second possible area.

Shikamaru's field of vision is irrelevant when he was on the ground the tree would block it, and why would he be looking where the hole was made instead of looking at his two targets when he was in the air? :lol. Not to mention him not noticing it isn't proof or evidence it's not there.


I think it's time for you to concede now, because all of your arguments are nothing but conjecture or logic that has been flat out killed by what happened on panel.

-Zero proof Kakuzu can use Hiding Like a Mole.
-Zero proof his masks can do so even if he can do so.
-Zero proof that he used Hiding like a Mole to burrow into the ground.
-Zero proof that his masks can manipulate chakra to break him out of Genjutsu.
-Your argument for him surviving Amaterasu is extremely bad and flawed.
-No reason Atsugai being used would blow him away or make it hard for him to evade.
-No reason that jumping high enough to leave himself vulnerable is necessary to evade Zukkoku.

Itachi dodges Kakuzu attacks, uses feints and speed to close the distance and then lands Genjutsu allowing him to deal the finishing blows.

For your match up Amaterasu simply one shots.

Yeah he probably was, just like when he laughed at the duo's demise lol, Kakuzu had the more experience though.

Honestly. :lol The arguments against Genjutsu are just too weak to support Kakuzu standing a chance of winning here let alone w/only Susanoo restricted.

I've not read the entire thread but I'm seeing people use Kakuzu's hearts as a means to break genjutsu. The hearts cannot control chakra. Everything they do is done by Kakuzu himself as a medium, so if he is incapacitated by genjutsu then logically the masks shouldn't be able to do anything.

Not true, as a heart implementing itself into Kakuzu means his chakra would now be flowing through an entirely new chakra network. Which would ultimately disrupt the flow enough to break 3t genjutsu, I mean how else did it work when he was dead? He wasn't controlling anything then either.

How is this debatable? Lol @ Kakuzu blocking Amaterasu? Kakuzu is no sensor so the only way he'd be able to tell if he's going to use genjutsu is if he looks into his eyes which isn't safe via genjutsu. Kakuzu also lacks the speed to even put up a defense before Amaterasu one shots him.

As for 3tomoe Itachi he should still win. Futon was dodged by Kakashi while he was in mid air so that's easily dodged. His elements aren't a problem he still lacks a counter for genjutsu and he gets beat in taijutsu although Domu would be a good counter.

That's not the point. The point is that the hearts act through Kakuzu channelling his own chakra into an already existing chakra network, as he's the medium required for that particular chakra network to operate in the first place. Kakuzu implements all the hand seals and whatnot to execute the jutsu telling us that they cannot really function without his particular chakra network being used.

^^^ This right here. Whether or not they can move is irrelevant. They can't manipulate chakra on their own.


That and the fact that Kakuzu switching hearts doesn't switch his chakra network. The chakra network runs throughout the entire body not just the heart. Kakuzu pumps his chakra through the hearts which lets him gain the nature transformation inside said heart. Not sure switching hearts translates to this:

It causing a disruption to the chakra flow to break Genjutsu is 1000% baseless and makes no sense just like 99% of the things said in this thread in Kakuzu's favor.

Bro, the heart senses that Kakuzu isn't putting any function into the hearts due to genjutsu so it rushes back to the body and takes over the functioning heart position. This would mean Kakuzu's chakra needs to stop....and flow through a new chakra network.

A.K.A Disruption, not to mention Kakuzu's chakra is spread out over 5 different mediums to begin with so in all honestly the genjutsu is going to have some weird afflictions here.

May be a bit of conjecture but what genjutsu argument isn't :lol

How does Genjutsu even KO Kakuzu here? The one that afflict Kakuzu physically all mean nothing when he only needs to mentally control the hearts, only one he'd have to look out for is the one that he used on Deidara really.

It's obviously not a new chakra network because the entirety of the chakra network isn't located in the heart as I already stated. :lol Not sure why you consider that a disruption when there is literally nothing indicating such.

Not an entirely new network perhaps but it has to stop and start flowing through something new in order to become new elemental chakra. Pretty sure Kakashi says chakra tubes.



Viz scan says the natures within the networks.

None of this is supported by the manga or databook. Kakuzu's heart returning to his body doesn't equate to an overall disruption of the chakra network which is spread throughout the entire body, not just in one specific place like you're insinuating. We've seen in the manga one must disrupt the entire chakra flow by inserting their own flow into ones body I.e Sakura with Naruto vs Itachi. There is no correlation to what you're saying.

No reason why it'd stop in the first place and no reason why it'd cause a disruption that stops the entire flow like what is needed to break Genjutsu.

Yes it does,

-Kakuzu's hearts each carry their own chakra network
-Kakuzu always has a heart functioning as the "main" heart in his body which he also uses as a chakra network (how he uses Domu on HIS body)
-If a heart returns and takes the place of the main heart all of his chakra now is pumping through an entirely different network


Only the middle point is conjecture but based on the placement of the heart Kakashi destroyed it should be reasonable to say that Domu isn't just a jutsu that Kakuzu himself utilizes without a mask.

No reason why it'd stop in the first place and no reason why it'd cause a disruption that stops the entire flow like what is needed to break Genjutsu.

Hmmm so much for "obviously not" a chakra network :rolleyes: anyways so you're saying chakra having to completely alter its flow through an entirely new network isn't enough to disrupt a 3T genjutsu? Honestly he may go through a very short period of death here which would most definitely disrupt it :lol

Yes it does,

-Kakuzu's hearts each carry their own chakra network
-Kakuzu always has a heart functioning as the "main" heart in his body which he also uses as a chakra network (how he uses Domu on HIS body)
-If a heart returns and takes the place of the main heart all of his chakra now is pumping through an entirely different network


Only the middle point is conjecture but based on the placement of the heart Kakashi destroyed it should be reasonable to say that Domu isn't just a jutsu that Kakuzu himself utilizes without a mask.

What are you talking about? Do you even know what the chakra network is and how it works? The chakra network runs throughout the entire body. Hearts having chakra tubes=/=Hearts having chakra networks. Switching hearts causing the ENTIRE FLOW THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BODY to stop is based on literally nothing. So you have no argument here. Just give it up.

Here is a picture of the chakra network so you don't reply with some BS. :lol

When the heart returns, for the secondary chakra network to initiate Kakuzu's own chakra has to flow through it first. That cannot happen when he's incapacitated with genjutsu. It doesn't matter if the new heart carrying the new nature comes through as the functioning still relies on Kakuzu himself who cannot pump chakra throughout his entire body.
