What say you?

 

[Troi]

Ramen guy and Kakashi’s main dog summon.

 

[StefanGuyver]

Maybe zetsu clones

 

[Infant]

Would you say the same or less with regards to Zabuza as he was when they killed him?

that makes it seem like he didt murder dozens of them effortlessly with just a kunai in his mouth while having his arms broken and being tired from his fight with kakashi.
he was not even trying to fight them much anyway, he was trying to get to gato

I acknowledge his kills, but he was well aware of their presence while aiming for their employer.

yea he did kill a few of them to get to him
But again, he was severely nerfed unable to even use jutsu as a result of his arms being broken

they were losing to a exhausted handicapped zabuza much less him at full strength

Would you say the same or less with regards to Zabuza as he was when they killed him?

Do you not consider his Demon Energy to have any practical effect?

Demon energy, When did he ever have demon energy
You mean, the aura people see when confronting him?

it looks more like a visual effect as it's there

You must be registered for see images

plus the demon effect is not even consistent, in ether design or color

It is acknowledged by others around him, so it cannot only be artistic design.

Fsctors of consistency are debatable and at worst do not make it non-existent.
