1) Naruto still needs to meditate. In a fight against a high speed opponent, he has 0 chance to get into SM unless he distracts them. I'm not saying he can't, but he only has 5 minutes, and if he uses 2 Rasenshurikens, he's done.one thing i have noticed once or twice now... naruto seems to be getting really quick with going into sage mode...we have seen power render damage to susanoo (both madara's and sasuke's) .... using strong ninjutsu attacks cannot be defended with amaterasu, only physical (and even then if the person doesnt mind being on fire it doesnt absorb any of the force)... naruto is faster than sasuke... naruto's best defense is his awareness and durability (no im not saying he can take a direct hit from a weapon or peircing attack but blunt attacks yes)... naruto's biggest weakness against sasuke remains genjutsu (which is a game winner used properly)... u cannot cancel edo tensei to break free of it and become an immortal being, the most you can do is be broken from the control of it, u break the spell itself and u just turn to ash and a dead body...
2) We've never seen power destroy susano'o. Infact, that's a lie. It took hashi a buddha statue 20x bigger than PS to even take it out. We've only ever seen susano'o get cracked ribs at best in other situations. The only way of beating someone in susano'o is to just completely get around it - Genjutsu, Mei's Acid, Sealing, Something.
3) I don't know what you meant with ninjutsu attacks. I said naruto can't hit him without chakra arms or ninjutsu attacks because of enton. And FYI, Amaterasu can defend against strong ninjutsu attacks. The flames can eat/overpower other jutsu.
4) Speed means nothing when you can't touch your opponent or get through his defences - See Ay vs sasuke.
5) Makes no sense. His defence is awareness and durability? Really...? Then should I chock in Sharingan precognition as one of sasuke's defences? Cause that's better than awareness seeing as it basically slows down time for him. Like i said, Naruto's defence is kyuubi's cloak. It's his susano'o.
6) correct
7) I don't understand what you're talking about there. I said someone else has to cancel ET. Basically, Someone cancels ET and you re-summon yourself (like madara) so I don't know what you mean about turn to ash.
Conclussion: You didn't show how naruto =/= sasuke.
he was no longer under kabuto's direct control. The KA broke him free of Kabuto's ET, that's why kabuto desperately wanted to kunai tag him again, so he can regain all his Edo control.Drapshin said:Please explain why kabuto didnt do it to itachi then
