I am losing track of how many times in the last few days, in an attempt to win an argument, you (or a poster like you) makes something up. Where does it say Sand is weak to Oil? Nowhere. This is all just made up on your part, to try and weaken the Mizukage. It's certainly true that Gaara's sand got owned by the oily water, but to assume that's true because of a made up and unmentioned special weakness to it is just ridiculous.gaara was facing its natural weakness, oil which meant that it crumbled as oil seeped in and broke it up.
If the Mizukage can create enough water to destroy Gaara's defences (have you seen the scale of Gaara's defence?), then he can create enough water to drown one human, or at least badly injure him and wear him down. It doesn't matter that the Raikage is faster, because the Mizukage has proven he can attack while nowhere near him.how does he drown the third? he doesnt know or hasnt shown suigetsus water bubble nor any large scale suiton like mei. if he tries anything, third is LEAGUES faster and so would dodge water gun and electrify mizukage's water/oil.
And now we're inventing another ability to help Raikage win this fight. God, why is it so predictable for people to do this. He has not shown any "sense of smell" for us to grant him this ability!jouki boi cant take him out lol. the mizukage himself can get tired and is weakened/hiding. if he ran from the battlefield, then raikage has no reason to take the clone bombardment and follows him. any kage level shinobi has acute senses and he could smell mizukage out.
It did this to Gaara's ultimate sealing technique:its not small but neither has it truly done anyone any damage. onoki said mu merely "had trouble" with it.
Since the Raikage has no way to lift the genjutsu, it's a moot point.also theres the problem of activating it before third kills him. once the genjutsu is down, mizukage has apparently one good move available. also i wonder whatd happen to the clone if its shot full of lightning
1) It's faster than Gaara's sand, and we have multiple feats for Gaara's sand catching the Raikage (maybe not at top speed, but nonetheless, it's not a given at all), andor kill the clone as its running around. its fast but not raiton no yoroi shunshin fast
A raikage. third is likely more experienced and skillful compared to his son and he has a much cooler head. gaara blocked A's kick but we dont know where gaara was standing so its unquantifiable. third raikage as an edo was on autopilot and so got caught briefly.we have multiple feats for Gaara's sand catching the Raikage
heating it up does that. but running raitno through it will paralyse it. for some reason lightning in naruto works differently to real life and isnt very hot.2) It doesn't matter if the Raikage "kills" it, indeed that'll be playing into the Mizukage's hands since it'll just explode and reform... the whole point is the clone can reform itself... hitting it just makes it go off that much faster.

they had to make gaara pile on several layers of sand to stop it seeping through. that seems like a natural counter if oil is the only known thing that can do this to gaaras sand.to assume that's true because of a made up and unmentioned special weakness to it is just ridiculous.
good. it blasted apart sand. doesnt mean it makes third raikage even budgeIt did this to Gaara's ultimate sealing technique:
so because sakura hasnt shown she can swim, that means she cannot? what ridiculous logic. all humans are born with the innate ability to hear smell and feel. ninjas are especially adept because they need to be for combat. only kakashi and kiba have especially advanced senses of smell but that doesnt mean kage level ninjas cant use it to some advantage if their sight is taken. hiruzen did just fine in a darkness genjutsuAnd now we're inventing another ability to help Raikage win this fight. God, why is it so predictable for people to do this. He has not shown any "sense of smell" for us to grant him this ability!
theres a difference between trying to weigh it down and trying to seep through and destroy it. thats like saying punching someone is the same as throwing water on them. the water seeps through your mouth and makes you choke and splutter. the punch would just give you a bruisenamely that his water attacks can take out Gaara's ultimate defence, something Gaara's dad couldn't do when he tried to mix gold sand amid his normal sand, weighing it down and weakening it
as you said he was punching holes in it and letting small amounts of oil seep in and break it down. its not about the amount. its just that his defences were uselessf the Mizukage can create enough water to destroy Gaara's defences (have you seen the scale of Gaara's defence
still dont see why you think gaara's sand = third raikages skin/lighting armour and thus means he will be hurt by water bulletsIn addition the sand shield of Gaara's has multiple puncture holes in it, none of which appear to be from oil water (more like water bullets or something), so it's not like he's limited to oily water.
Speculation on your part on all points.A raikage. third is likely more experienced and skillful compared to his son and he has a much cooler head. gaara blocked A's kick but we dont know where gaara was standing so its unquantifiable. third raikage as an edo was on autopilot and so got caught briefly.
Except Gaara couldn't catch it... so now we're not only assuming ridiculous things like the Raikage having a super sense of smell, but that Gaara "could have caught the steam clone if he felt like it... he just didn't". Are you trying to destroy your credibility here?the clone is faster than gaara thought but im sure if he went top speed hed catch it by manipulating the ground.
Again, this is made up on your part, and there is no evidence for any of these contentions. The force of impact against the clone heats the water, which causes the explosion to speed up. Needless to say, the 3rd Raikage hitting it (assuming he can) is going to create alot of friction, which in turn speeds up the explosion. If it was just a simple matter of "hitting the clone with something sharp", then Gaara could have done that... indeed, when he hits the clone with his clone attack, it just reforms a bunch (because it's made of water, which again, has no special weakness against lightning per se, that's Earth... all we've seen of this "special weakness" is Suigetsu being hit by it and saying "am I too weak to water?" because he's nailed to the wall... not "I'm weak to water", or "this water form is helpless against lightning".heating it up does that. but running raitno through it will paralyse it. for some reason lightning in naruto works differently to real life and isnt very hot.
This page contains no remarks to refute anything I said. Gaara does not say the sand's special weakness is oil, or even that the sand is weak to oil... all he says is that the oil is seeping in and destroying his sand... duh. If regular water did that, he could tell us it was doing the same thing, or if lava did it... it dosn't mean he's saying those things are especially strong against Sand, merely that they are beating his sand. Maybe you're guessing it's especially weak to Oily water, but that is nowhere stated in the comic, and can't be assumed because it suits your argument.You must be registered for see linksdefeated you
Again, your personal theory is irrelevant without actual evidence.they had to make gaara pile on several layers of sand to stop it seeping through. that seems like a natural counter if oil is the only known thing that can do this to gaaras sand.
The 3rd Raikage has cracks on his body from when he was hit by Terumi's fan attack... which means it damaged him... if he can be damaged by that, he's not going to repeatedly tank Jouki boy for no damage. He's not an Edo in this fight.good. it blasted apart sand. doesnt mean it makes third raikage even budge
Hiruzen has a feat of being able to smell out his foes... so we grant it to him... we don't grant it to other shinobi because they haven't done it, no more than I grant Kakashi's Chidori or Tsunade's strength to other shinobi, unless there's evidence for it. Laughable argument.so because sakura hasnt shown she can swim, that means she cannot? what ridiculous logic. all humans are born with the innate ability to hear smell and feel. ninjas are especially adept because they need to be for combat. only kakashi and kiba have especially advanced senses of smell but that doesnt mean kage level ninjas cant use it to some advantage if their sight is taken. hiruzen did just fine in a darkness genjutsu
The 4th Kazekage could do it well enough to subdue the One Tail... sounds like a pretty effective move to me... just Gaara has gotten sufficiently stronger now, that he can overcome it (while multitasking too). That's Gaara being more powerful, not his sand having some special advantage over his dads... the same logic applies to the oily water, unless we're told otherwise.theres a difference between trying to weigh it down and trying to seep through and destroy it. thats like saying punching someone is the same as throwing water on them. the water seeps through your mouth and makes you choke and splutter. the punch would just give you a bruise
