Oh Naruto had alot of things going for him? Just like Pain did going into his battle with Jiraiya? Failed point. Regardless, Pain lost. Pain also got three of his paths straight raped by Jiraiya when he had no idea about the paths.
Things going for SM naruto:
- Pain started the battle without deva realms powers, and without all the chakra he used up using Chou shinra tensei and fighting off all the villagers.
- Naruto had the luxury of having 2 clones prepped before the battle and already in sage mode before the battle begun
- Naruto had the luxury of having intel on all of Pain's abilities while pain had none on Naruto
- Naruto had the luxury of Ma summoning all of the most powerful toads to help him fight, sparing him having to use his own chakra to do so
- Pain's intent was not to kill Naruto but to capture him, while naruto's intent was to kill him
- Pain successfully subdued Sage Naruto and captured him, and Sage naruto was forced to use the fox to get out of Pain's hold.
- Pain has already shown attacks that Sage Naruto has no answer for: Chibaku tensei, which he did not use on Naruto because it would have killed Naruto.
Is that enough reasons or should I list more?
Not ridiculing me, ridiculing Hokage. I am far more intelligent than you are, so I am not too worried about you ridiculing me.
Note to you, whenever a person says they are smarter than another person, chances are that they are not.
Hashirama: Wood Release, defeated Madara
Okay.... already told you how tired clone naruto, oonoki, and gaara were going to repeat this low difficulty.
Tobirama: Greatest Water Release ever, Edo Tensei, S/T Jutsu
Yet we've never seen what edos he's summoned or how good his edos are. We've never seen his supposed ST jutsu. We've seen his water release and it couldn't even break a mud wall. We do know that he was brought to the brink of death by Kin/Gin brothers who were no big deal themselves, we do know that he died while not defeating, but STALLING only 20 ninjas, 20 who were not even low-kage level considering all were from the same village.
Hiruzen: Enma, all of Konoha's jutsu, Reaper seal,fought Oro to a draw at the age of 70
Last time I checked, taking someone's arms at the cost of your own life isn't a DRAW. He is hyped to be the strongest of the hokage, and I'll give him that, but he is still not as strong as pain, a guy who could single-handedly defeat the hidden leaf.
Minato: FTG, Rasengan, Fuinjutsu, Fastest Shinobi ever, defeated Tobi WITH 9 tails, Gamabunta summon
Interesting. so defeating Tobi without a rinnegan when the rest of Konoha is holding off the ninetails is considered defeating Tobi with Ninetails. You are only listing jutsus by each person, I don't see how this helps them win anything.
Tsunade: Greatest Med Nin ever, Katsuya summon, super strong, Taijutsu expert
fails to kill an armless orochimaru, gets pushed by a high-jounin level opponent. Is considered one of the weakest of the five kages.
That enough for you?
Do you know of any Shinobi who could avoid that attack? Other than Tobi and MINATO(a hokage).
Read the above, all those are very impressive.
Lets see here, Jiraiya took out three paths without knowledge. Jiraiya wasn't the smartest. Hiruzen is smarter and more powerful. Do the math.
Please don't tell me you have Itachi ahead of the first, third or fourth hokage...
You seem to think that just by listing a person's jutsu, you are providing a good argument as to why they are powerful. I could list all of pain's techs, a single one of his tech makes all ninjutsu useless. Another one of his techs requires firepower that none of the hokages have in order to destroy it.
Team two stomps by a large margin.
