You just said eventually ,there is a good chance he would figure it out to use the strongest attack against the ultimate defense. This is going nowhere. Ive already explained why i dont think he will just figure it out . That whole what if and people put totsuka against yata. Thats the dumbest what if ive ever heard of . Thats right up there with nagato vs the 6 paths of pein . itachi has totsuka and yata mirror . He going to fight himself ? your saying the same thing just wording it differently . He would figure out because what else would he think of ? Or He would figure to use the strongest attack vs the strongest defense . How would he figure this ? He just would because its common knowledge right ? Your ignoring the context in which naruto figured it out . The context is talking to hachibi , asking people close to the 3rd etc . You say i didnt counter your arguments i say you didnt counter mine . well just have to agree to disagree . And i wasnt taking a shot at you . When people have a sig of a character most likely that character is one of their favorites . Debating about a persons favorite character tends to make one bias .
You gave me your explanation and I was the first to accept our disagreement, but you decided to persist with your arguments. You feel like he wouldn't figure it out because in your mind it's not easy to figure out, that's all that your argument boils down to.
Raikage had his body as a sheild and he had hell stab. So your comment about Itachi having both weapons is a fail. It may be the "dumbest thing you've ever heard" but a simple use of the search bar will give you plenty of threads talking about putting yata mirror against totsuka. So what's dumb to you is apparently common sense to most other members of the base.
I've said the same thing only re-worded because you keep commenting as if you need further explanation. Using an opponents attack against them is common knowledge in war, the scar on Raikages chest is small and shaped like a lighting bolt, which only the hell stab makes sense in that case, using the strongest attack to try and counter the strongest defense is common sense. Despite all of this you still think it makes no sense for Minato to EVENTUALLY be able think to try and use Raikage's own attack against him. Smh if that's your honest opinion then fine.
That's how NARUTO figured it out. He's not of equal intelligence with Minato, who OP said knew of 3rd Raikage. He was known for having the strongest attack and strongest shield. Again putting the two against each other is a simple conclusion to come to. Naruto's "SM perception" that you keep harping about was simply him timing the dodge at the last second. That's it. Minato has already shown he can dodge a lightning attack at point blank range, so his perception is fine.
I didn't say you didn't counter my arugments. I said you aren't ADDRESSING my counter arguments. Minato is one of my fav characters. He's also the same character that I once did an extensive thread about detailing his weaknesses and argued with Minato fans on why he couldn't beat ITACHI (who I personally dislike as a charater). Nothing about my statements have been biased. You don't agree fine. But you lose all validity when you try to use the fanboy argument. And if you're going to use it, atleast be upfront about it
Edit: And no Raikage's scar doesn't reflect fingers. But this is exaclty why I said you aren't addressing any of my counter arguments. You said yourself his scar is small and looks like a lightning bolt. If he is supposed to have the strongest shield yet has a scar, that is enough to figure out that his shield can be penetrated. Naruto didn't need to hear the story to figure this out. So combine that with the fact that it must take an even stronger attack to penetrate, and the only penetrating attack that would leave a small scar that looks like a lightning bolt is hell stab, then you wouldn't need the background story to come to the conclusin that JUST MAYBE the wound was self inflicted somehow. Honestly I remember clearly when those chapters came out. I was thinking that maybe hell stab is what caused the damaged before I heard the story as soon as Naruto pointed out the scar, and that was simply due to the look of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one. You don't agree that's fine. i appreciate the debate.
