Even though Minato was not there,

There is no way he would attempt to use a technique that he didn't have.

The only way would be for him to be desusional from an episode of psychosis.

Hiruzen was not schizophrenic.


Well, some might say that he was lying.

Why would he be lying? Hiruzen was thinking to himself. There's just no incentive to lie to himself.

He thought he stopped the third one but in actuality, the coffin was empty.


The conclusion: He really did use the Neutralizer but it just so happened that Minato was not there and Hiruzen didn't know it.

 

[Blitz3d]

Wtf is this neutraliser everyone keeps talking about? Please, enlighten me with this fanfic no Jutsu.

 

[Yanks]

[LuckyMan]

Exactly. Why cant people understand this. I swear these guys are.......

 

[solo king]

Wtf is the neutralizer

 

[Blubbit]

Or maybe it's writer's goof because Kishi didn't develop the mechanics behind ET nor the nature of Minato's death until late in part 2.

Just a theory.

 

[LuckyMan]

Wtf is the neutralizer

Hiruzen forms the hand seals to cancel out an enemy jutsu.

 

[LordDarui]

Dat Non existing no jutsu.

 

[Senju Bean]

Jutsu Neutralizer you say?

Did you even read?

Hiruzen didn't know the Coffin was empty so he used the Neutralizer. It didn't work because there was nothing to neutralize in the first place.

I don't think a psychological disorder is the only other explaination. Also, if that is the case it's pretty rotten of him to never pass down this technique to any of his other pupils, especially since he was all about passing the torch to the next generation.

I swear, if Kishimoto saw the fans outside of Japan, I bet he would drop the series so damn quick, smfh

Or there's just no such thing as the Neutralizer

Where is the infinite +rep button?

 

[Sir Blades]

I dont think Hiruzen would just make up shit like that unless he actually had the jutsu, that much is true. Now the extent and power of that jutsu is another question.

 

[Senju Bean]

Or there's just no such thing as the Neutralizer

Then you are saying that Hiruzen was a schizophrenic. That he was completely bonkers.

 

[Blubbit]

Then you are saying that Hiruzen was a schizophrenic. That he was completely bonkers.

He was in his 70s and his physical condition had greatly dwindled.

 

[Senju Bean]

Well, Hiruzen JUDGED that it was enough to neutralize an incredibly powerful jutsu like Edo Tensei.

This is a man with many decades of experience.

The professor would have good judgement.

 

[SageOfTheTenPaths]

Look guys, Kishi had not written the story of Minato yet and the mechanics of Edo tensei. So this is just plot, nothing else.

He was old after all and survived many wars, it's not so uncommon

 

[Senju Bean]

Then how was he even able to function?
