How does this change that Naruto can dodge Amaterasu, a feat done before by the Raikage.

The Raikage was stopped by Killer Bee, even though he is so fast, and Sasuke's Amaterasu was dodged by the Raikage.

The Raikage was also blasted by Jugo briefly.


And Enton Arrows were blocked by rods.

But your saying that Naruto can't do it, despite having speed feats that surpass the Raikage.

Speed feats so inconsistent that it could literally go either way. Naruto is hit just as often as he is fast enough to dodge.

Obviously Naruto and Sasuke are supposed to be equal. Its been implied for a long time now as well as explicitly stated by the writer of the manga. But Naruto fanboys need to act like childish wankers all the time so I doubt they will care.

No he never actually said they would be equal, that's just how everyone interpreted his words when he said that he always keeps the other one in mind when he gives one a upgrade.

He never specifically said that they would be equal.

Edit: Plus there have been many times thoughout the manga where who is stronger changed, its gone back and forth.

Wow. I am sorry he did not literate it in the absolutely perfect grammatical wording desired for you to understand what he was saying. That IS what he said. And that IS what is clearly, CLEARLY implied in the manga in multiple scenes using various symbolism and allusions. I don't get why its so hard to accept? What the hell is the big deal? I am a fan of lots of characters in lots of stories and I don't give a shit at all if they are the strongest character or not. I don't get it, is it just some kind of nerd thing that you need to obsess so much about this stuff?

Oh so you are saying that when they were kids they were equal as well, or at the beginning of part 2 when Sasuke remarked about Naruto not being strong enough they were equal.

Edit: Maybe I should add in that there were multiple characters commenting on the difference in power, but we should ignore all of that because they are equal, just because of how you interpreted Kishi's words.

Yes that's a wonderfully done argument.

Their progression has always been side by side. Like Kakashi said, Naruto saw Sasuke as someone to chase and become as strong as and Sasuke saw Naruto's growth and used that as motivation to get stronger himself. They mastered the tree climbing at the same exact time, Sasuke unlocked his sharingan nearly minutes before Naruto unlocked his fox chakra and used it in combat the first time, their powerups have occurred roughly parallel to each other, their battle at VotE was literally down to the wire, as they stood on the top of Hashirama and Madara's statues respectively. Orochimaru and Obito both commented on the parallels between Naruto and Sasuke and hoped to see a fight between the two of them. I don't get what the hell the problem is with you fanboys. Just calm the hell down and enjoy the damn manga for what it is. I'm sorry the writers don't agree with your fanboy beliefs.

Progressing side by side, isn't being equal. Which is the entire basis of your argument.

And just because someone points out the flaws in your argument doesn't mean he is a fanboy.

We call that debating.

Edit: Also I admit that Sasuke has been stronger then Naruto at several points in the manga, and if Sasuke was stronger, then they aren't equal.

Um, except you didn't point out the flaws in my argument because I'm not arguing. I'm not "making an argument". I'm just stating the facts from the manga. You're the one being a fanboy who is being delusional and trying to prove some outlandish and imbecilic thought about your favorite character being superior when it goes against every implication in the manga. Obviously. But if you want to keep believing some stupid theory, then go ahead. The entire basis of the story is built on the yin and yang, two opposing natures counterbalancing each other.

You said that Kishi claimed that they were equal, I used proof from the manga and the interview to prove you wrong.


The fact that you are just throwing around insults and calling me a fanboy shows that you just don't like it when people disagree with you.

I'm sorry but I don't play the exchange insults game. This debate is over.

This is a waste of my time. Can't have a conversation with fanboys, too unbearably nerdy and uptight and hypersensitive over the stupidest things. Its ok kid, your hero Naruto is the strongest character ever and can annihilate Goku, Darth Vader, and Superman at the same time. Don't go crying to your mommy now, its all well in the universe again!

I'm starting to think Naruto is not even that fast anymore because he doesn't even use his speed anymore :(

Not using does not equal not having, he just hasn't been in a position to use it. For instance whens the last time you saw Sasuke you Chidori, yet he still has it.

True but if you think about it Naruto would rape if he would just speed blitz everyone.

Running fast isn't useful in every situation, for instance if he tried to blitz Obito it would be pointless because of Kamui, or now because Obito is faster.

Another good example is Madara, even if he did there isn't much he can do, Madara could absorb anything Naruto throws at him and Taijutsu is suicide against Madara with Susanoo.

Edit: Also I think it burns his chakra up faster when he is moving at high speeds, that's why he seems so inconsistent with it.

-Had to access Sage Mode to react to the 3rd Raikage, a man who was never said to be faster than A
-Unable to land a hit on Obito or Madara both of whom have never been credited with interstellar speed
-Tied up by Obito's mokuton when he basically announced it was coming.
-Hit multiple times by Edo Jin paths with no speed feats
-Blocked by a thrown gumbai while mid sprint

And yet fast enough to block 5 TBBs in an instant, dodge the raikage and speed blitz Kisame...

Inconsistency at its finest.

- He powered out of his Kyuubi Mode and its not that he couldn't react to the third raikage... he can but he needed to put himself in a position to rush raikage and make him get hit with his own attack which required Sm to do just for that occasion.
-He did actually hit Obito twice in that fight and I'm not talking about when Kakashi helped him but you are right about Madara but then again didn't Madara react to Raikage too?
-Incorrect he didn't annouce that it was coming before getting caught.
-He was ganged up on and how do you know they are slow?
-I'll give you that one but he wasn't using his speed.
