No it isn't. It just covers a vast range.

Read it dude, it does so much more than just range, its what allows her to do the majority of her techniques, that no one else can.... you underestimate the technique my friend.

@Kaant

That was not the point I was making. I was endeavouring to state that different senors have depicted different prowess. Karin appears to be on a whole different level.

Sorry mate, the internet is slow. Otherwise I would have looked for it myself. Apologies.

I'll look into it if I get the time tomorrow.

No problem mate, if I wasn't going off now, idve tried to look for it. No worries.

I'm going to have to say Karin in this one. Tobirama isn't close by any stretch. Most of his sensing feats are overrated imo.

-Sensing Madara: He only did that after being told Madara was still alive. He didn't sense it upon being revive, in comparison to Minato who sensed Naruto and Kyuubi without anyone mentioning them

-Sensing Oro's cells: He wouldn't have sensed it if it weren't for Hashirama telling him about it first. He had no clue until Hashirama told him to inspect Oro more closely

-Sensing Karin's heritage: Uzumaki's have distinctive chakra as well as physical characteristics (red hair). Recognizing an Uzumaki should be fairly easy compared to others. Especially since Tobirama, being a Senju, had close relations with the Uzumaki. That's like giving him praising for sensing Sasuke being a Uchiha, a clan that he has dealt with his entire life

His finger detection isn't even better than Minato's. If you compare them both, Minato uses one finger as opposed to the two that Tobirama uses, and Minato can sense the same number of enemies in addition to determining them as shadow clones.

Karin is the best. Naruto is probably 2nd since I don't know anyone else that can sense evil thoughts in order to discern an enemy. After that it's probably a hyuga sense all seem to be pretty decent sensors, but Minato could be placed ahead or behind them depending on which feats matter to you the most, and then it's Tobirama although you could interchange he and Minato as well since Minato does have that setback of not being able to sense Obito.

Again just my opinion. Depending on how you give credit for certain feats and how much you hold certain failures against them, it can drastically change the viewpoint. It doesn't help that the few sensors we know about seem to be good at sensing for totally different reasons and from different perspectives.

THIS WILL PUT THE WHOLE DISPUTE TO AN END. The range for this ability is endless... and its efficiency as well. Karin wins.
Karin is the best yes
Kaant just proved even more how much more of an asspull from Kishi by having Tobirama slaughtered by 20 elite ninjas.

Tobirama has only been seen hit ONE time in this entire manga. That was by Juubi-Obito.

Madara's range is up there with Tobirama, though that is the only sensing feat we've seen from him

He only sensed Kurama and Naruto's chakra. Not Madara's.

He has never felt Madara's chakra before so that is a moot point when comparing them. And to address the topic of his ability to sense the Masked Man (which is Obito), his chakra is far more matured in comparison to when he was 14. This is like saying someone can sense Naruto's chakra when he was 12, but fails to sense him now in his present state because he has both his and Kurama's chakra as his own. So Minato's inability to sense Obito is derived from the maturation of Obito's chakra as a whole over the 16-20 years.

OT: The best sensors in the series are as follows: Karin, Tobirama, Minato, SM Naruto AND Nagato.

Karin - Self explanatory. She has very insightful sensing that spawns a vast area of effect.

Tobirama - Explained by you in the OP.

Minato - Very similar to Tobirama and has very similar mechanics when he senses (touching the ground like Tobirama).

SM Naruto - Was able to deduce Kakashi's death based on his chakra alone, which makes his sensing both potent and very specific like Tobirama.

Nagato - Was able to anticipate (sense) the build-up of Amaterasu in Itachi's eye before it happened.

Tobirama's sensing is far more impressive then anyone elses. He did, in fact, discover Karin's heritage simply by her chakra.

The Uzumaki's have a very specific chakra signature, Mito married in to the Senju clan, and they have specific red hair, and that's supposed to be an impressive feat? The one in the OP of him sensing Madara is far more impressive given the distance, from Konoha to the battlefield.

Sorry, but where exactly does it state the Uzumaki clan members have a specific chakra signature? I could understand him being somewhat familiar with the clan in general. But really... There are plenty red heads that aren't Uzumaki, so to distinguish between a random shinobi or a survivor of the Uzumaki clan might be something special... I don't recall this being in the OP, and I didn't want to restate what Kaant already said.

Kabuto clearly mentions before Itachi and Sasuke that Uzumaki are known for their life-force and their specific hair colour. Not only that, they are Senjus distant cousins and Tobirama must have had come across plenty of Uzumakis. Him able to sense Karin shouldn't be counted as a feat.

Pretty much what I was getting at.

How can you compare Minato's sensory abilities to Tobirama's? Minato sensed the Kyuubi, and his son Naruto. That is it. Only two chakra signatures that he remembers. :|

They are comparable :| They both sensed what they were familiar with; Tobirama and Madara (AFTER HE WAS TOLD MADARA WAS ALIVE) and Minato with his son and Kurama (which he didn't need someone to tell him).

are you kidding me?..

You must be registered for see images


He didn't say based on her ''life force'' neither did he say ''based on her red hair'', he said based on her CHAKRA. I don't see why you're bringing up all this crap. He judged that she is an Uzumaki solely on her ''CHAKRA''!. There's lots of ppl with red hair, does that make them automatically Uzumaki???.. Sasori is an Uzumaki too?!

And if it's not such a big deal since they're ''related''. how come Hashirama didn't know this??

The battlefield had a huge amount of power in one place , I don't think it was hard to miss that .

IMO The Uzumakis Karin & Naurto are the bests .
