35:24 this minato section is Peak its just perfect i dont know if i could explain it any better, that was wonderful. minato defintely gets an A+ atleast a B+ if you are minimalistic about his scaling, hes like the hardest counter to pain imaginable. this even alludes to how genius kakashi is going after pains eyes when pain got caught, to handle the linked vision, implying that a great level of speed can cause pain to lose his linked vision, which is the only thing guarding pain in the first place. minato and kakashi are close intelligence wise as well its honeslty possible.
Pain got pissed when Tsunade started acting high and mighty toward him so…you just KNOW Tobirama is going to run his mouth and get a Chaotic shinra Tensei.
In what world is pain shinra tensei gonna hit tobirama. Tobirama is stated by madara to be faster than him & hashirama. Pain Was the big bad, but ever since the war arc we were exposed to much higher power levels & speeds. Tobirama beats pain all six of them. 👍

If we want to get technical, Sasuke Retsuden was adapted in the anime which by extension makes Kakashi's side of the story canon as well. •Are these matchups under the pretense that Naruto already defeated Pain, or are the Hokage replacing him? If its the former chapter 567 of the Naruto manga, confirms that Kakashi has already built countermeasures(and I doubt Kamui was part of them). Edit: You did say the fighting starts when Pain attacks the village. My bad.
@sageofthickcalves compared to Narutos' fight with Kurama, the kurama that Minato fought was significantly less restrained (a weaker Kushina and no 8 tails to help restraining either). That could have been a good starting point for discussion sense we understand Narutos relative power when he fought Kurama. Also, statements from kurama implying Minato to be of a similar caliber as Hashirama. It could have been mentioned is all I'm saying
@@sageofthickcalves Sort of, but not necessarily. While the Nine - Tails was weakened, it was still a Yin - Yang Nine - Tails, and Minato was WAY more weakened than Kurama. He had used up some of his chakra, had an entire hole through him, was poisoned by Nine - Tails chakra, was also weakened due to the fact that he was inside of Kushina's mind scape, and wasn't even a Hokage yet & barely developed the Rasengan at the time. His BASE, just-developed non full - powered Rasengan as a Jōnin was enough to clash evenly against a full - powered weakened Kurama's Tailed Beast Bomb.
@@starslight-x3o rasengan and the tailed beast bomb didnt explode so it doesnt scale to it lemme give u an example in manga when 10 tails fires its bijju bomb when everyone including kurama and gyuki tried to stop it gyuki and kurama also shotted their biju bombs at it however that doesnt mean that they scale to 10 tails as the 2 bombs just slowed down it and not explode it
Too fast. Too much stamina. Those were my first thoughts, but I forgot about that damn Koto hax. Gg Minato hard fought, and we almost got the dub. Great video, man!! I loved the Halloween surprise
Love the collab, TG is one of the GOATs and very in-depth video. I surprised you guys didn't include this part which is a huge part of this vs. battle (for example, I know New Horizons had a similar video and he included this part too) and that's calling Sage Naruto back to the village. Granted, other than for Old Hiruzen and Tsunade it wouldn't be necessary in terms of a Hokage vs. Pain battle but would help in finding Nagato, minimizing damage and defeating Pain in most cases. For Hokage Naruto, Kakashi and Hashirama it's probably not necessary as I could easily see all 3 changing Nagato's ways or just straight beating him down (Minato too) Personally there shouldn't be much of a difference in terms of grade between him and Tobirama. Both are capable of sending attacks as big as juubidama's away and getting villagers out of harms way although there chakra has to be linked. On a side tangent, Minato and Tobirama should've just linked there FTG to every villager or the chakra detection network anyways but that's beside the point. But I think the only difference in Tobirama and Minato with FTG is that Minato has many FTG kunai pre-marked (in canon we only see Tobirama mark 1 kunai, 1 sword) it'll allow him to get there quicker but theoretically, Tobirama can sense all the Pain, can likewise teleport away an attack as big as 1 juubidama and can teleport away a chakra mass as big as Full Kurama plus Minato & Naruto all the while is similar to Minato in terms of there ability to quickly and subtly mark enemies This is also something that I don't think has been said in any of the videos on this topic. There's no reason to believe that Hashirama, Tobirama, Prime Hiruzen (maybe Old too), Minato, Kakashi and Naruto don't send one clone to go to Nagato's location. You could argue that they may not know his exact location but either reverse tracking or in the case of Minato and Tobirama they are 2 of the best 5 sensors in the series normally then Hashirama & Naruto are sage mode users. As far as the Sage Mode Naruto tier with Minato, I agree. Ay is talking about Minato in light of his jonin stats and that is where he garnered his nickname "Yellow Flash". I think Hokage Minato should scale to a more mastered KCM which is above initial KCM2. We know at bare minimum by the narrative Minato is capable of deflecting 5 bijuudamas. But we know Hokage Minato AND Kushina together cap out at Mastered KCM2 stated by Kurama himself (which I would say KCM Minato is more of a rival if not stronger than that Naruto). War Arc feats show this too
I agree with pretty much everything here I think. The only thing I’d say is Tobirama does state that he can’t teleport as many people as Minato can, but it wouldn’t really matter in this case since they don’t have a way to share their chakra with everyone without the nine tails. But yeah great breakdown!
@@sageofthickcalves Fair point and I didn't really include Shikamaru as I don't know his exact scaling after the 3 year timeskip. Regardless given his abilities he doesn't have the best arsenal to stop any damage even if he is capable of restraining or defeating the Paths. I think likewise if we added Danzo, he'd probably be the worst of the Hokage as he's the weakest (excluding Shikamaru) and can't prevent damage and would also lose a war of attrition and hax
@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 Yeah all we can go off of is the stuff we get in the novels for Shikamaru and he’s not even tree level with his shadow strangle. And as far as Danzo, he’s more useful in a 1v1, whereas he’d just get wiped against Pain lol
For the Hashirama section, Should have just shown footage of Hashirama doing the all hokage team ult against Pain, but edit out the other hokage, and proceeded to move on with tobirama
Prime Hiruzen couldn't have known the rasengan cos Minato "Invented" it (Either re-invented it second after ashura or invented the whole jutsu) The reason his flying thunder god is better is because he greatly improved upon it Minato's Flying Raijin mark allows him to sense the surroundings of the mark, essentially giving him critical information about the battlefield.
If Hashirama or any other kage in the Boruto era were kage during that time, wouldn't you think that Pain would know of this legendary shinobi and would most likely come in with a different tactic??
@sageofthickcalves yall said he would mess up the village with every other character except the last ones, so why would he change that maybe Pain starts with the animal summons messes up the village starts blowing stuff up like he did. I still believe that the village would be destroyed in every senerio
@@GlobalLife_Music Minato would be able to handle him fast enough for that to not be a problem. There would be minimal damage, which is why we gave him a B+ and not an A
When Tobirama finds out about or sees the Rinnegan at all, he gets a massive hatred amp 😅 assuming he realizes or knows it evolved from the Sharingan or knows that they're Madara's eyes lol. I think alive prime Tobirama could make at least 6 clones, blitz ever path and either kill them on the spot or mark them with FTG seal, and pick them apart as quickly as possible. I would give him a B- or something similar to that.
It’s possible after getting six paths chakara from Obito that Kakashi got a Buff to his base afterwards. In my head canon he did but not as much as Naruto and Sasuke did post receiving seals
I totally agree. We’ve also never seen anyone who’s had 6 paths chakra lose it fully for life. Even Obito still had 6 paths chakra after getting the Juubi extracted, so it follows that Kakashi should still have 6 paths chakra after Obito’s buff was gone
With certain hokages pain is not getting the chance to use almighty push lol.1st 2nd 3rd(young) 4th ,upgraded hokage kakashi😁.and naruto.pain is getting pressed from the jump
I agree to a certain extent. The issue is the paths of Pain split up into 2 units, so each Hokage would have to split up via clones and cover the ground necessary to get to each unit. Depending on how long it takes for them to do that, the outcome could change
Well here's my take on every grade that the Hokage get. Hashirama = A or an A+ Tobirama = B or a B+ Old Man Hiruzen = F+ or a regular F Prime Hiruzen = C+ Minato = A- or an A Tsunade = D+ or an F- Kakashi = A or an A+ Naruto = A++ Shikamaru = Below F-Tier
I actually don't think you were totally fair to Shikamaru. You didn't take his tactical abilities into account at all. I think he definitely could've come up with some kind of plan to lure at least most of the Pains to one area using something like having someone transform into Naruto or something and then restrain them with his shadow possession. At that point it should be pretty easy for people like Kakashi or Sakura or Choji or anyone else to start taking out the immobilized Pains.
Tobirama flattens those summons in seconds, best water style user ever not debatable. Considering how he traveled to the battlefield with the other hokage in the war in this scenario he just locates Nagato and kills him before chaotic shinra tensei comes out. Remember Konan refused to let nagato use it, It is not an early fight jutsu. I really think tobirama takes like 3 seconds to find nagato’s massive chakra signature and just body flickers there in say 30 seconds tops and just cuts nagato in half or hits him w Genjustsu so all the pains are nullified. Tobirama deserves an A- at the least if you actually consider his IQ, dojustu counters and actual speed scaling, which no one wants to acknowledge yet everytime Sauske is slightly faster than someone it’s an instant blitz gg. Tobirama vastly out scales pain, and if he was in tsunades position in the story, there is no way he doesn’t win before pain nukes the village. Not to mention he can teleport him away if needed and definitely has the battle iq speeed and hax to do so. he fucking does it to jubito and other kcm2 lv characters that are like 2-5x stronger than pain (at least). Sorry he just clears. Not even a tobirama glazer but come on guys tobirama slams sage mode Naruto with his eyes closed what are we talking ab here.
A question i always had was if minato was a perfect sage, why did he never use sage mode? Or i hear people say he just had it for backup/wasnt that proficient with sm.. any of these true?
No he just says that it takes him too long to gather the nature energy and it doesn’t last long. I imagine it has something to do with his chakra levels not being Uzumaki level, even though they’re still impressive
@@sageofthickcalves hmm.. you think if he was able to gather nature energy relatively quickly and it last a good amount.. he'd be able to go against Madara or hashirama or even hokage kakashi?
@@Ulises21500 the problem he has against Hashirama and Madara is he just doesn’t have the attack potency to damage them. With Kakashi it’s more about speed, so maybe the precog would help, but Kakashi is at least a blitz tier above Juubidara, so he should be fast enough to react to sage Minato with relative ease
@@sageofthickcalves hmm not even hos giant rasengan enhanced with perfect sage mode? Would like to hear your analysis video on kakashi vs hashirama and kakashi vs Madara.. and how the fight would go/how'd he deal with the susanoo and thousands arm statue
Kinda silly but Minato could unintentionally defeat all paths of Pain if he happens to teleport them so far away from Nagato's body that they just collapse due to lack of chakra. 😂
Hear me out on Shikamaru: He has reaction feats to several people like Kinshiki and Momoshiki, Delta, Code, Boruto, Kawaki, as well as Naruto and Sasuke. He even dodged an attack from Delta. Since Delta and Kinshiki/Momoshiki should low key be stronger/faster than Madara, Shikamaru just being able to react to them and dodge an attack from Delta probably puts him several tiers above Pain in terms of just physical stats. Hokage Shikamaru might straight up be able to just taijutsu all the Paths of Pain in 1v1s very quickly.
There's no way you could compare the other Hokage in this fight if you don't allow the village to be destroyed by pain and Tobirama actually can survive that blast qoth raijin. Remember the rising steals never stopped so he's going to have a seal left on the warring states period he coild use
The point is how they would deal with it as soon as Pain arrives. Part of Tsunade’s failure is not engaging right away, but the other Hokage (aside from Shikamaru) would likely engage right away. Even if Tobirama survives the chaotic shinra tensei by teleporting a good distance away, he’d have to teleport outside of the village with no way to teleport back since any markings left behind would be torn apart.
@@sageofthickcalves While that is true, it was more than enough for Tsunade and her ambu to already have a technique to prevent some of Pain's abilities. I imagine with Kage that had a wider scope of jutsu, that should jump their response capabilities a bit. Especially the sensors who would know to look for another controlling party.
Tobirama pulls up drops some shadow clones and blitzes pain its that simple every hashira slams pain no diff ofc the village is gonna suffer damage but tobirama is one of the best sensory ninjas ever you think tobirama cant sense pain? And 5 other paths
I think he’d be able to sense him and take him out quickly if he tried to. BUT in character he also likes to talk trash, which might lead to a chaotic shinra tensei lmao
@@sageofthickcalves also sage naruto was absolutely brutalizing pain but he only lost because sage mode ran out i think on paper it sounds good but after you look at the feats pain gets humiliated For example minato. Minato has the rasengan that was easily enough to fuck up any path of pain hell 2 rasengans killed the deva path also minato conveniently has the speed of mafucking 4th raikage since they were stated equal minato has the ap to destroy any path of pain and has the speed to blitz any path of pain minato claps in a 1v1 so does every hokage except tsunade but if we're talking about war arc tsunade its a different story
@@arkaan.zomei2023 totally agree, except I think Shikamaru and old man Hiruzen also lose for different reasons. Old man Hiruzen just doesn’t have anything he needs to get the job done, and Shikamaru doesn’t have the AP.
Why couldn’t 5 clones use FTG at the same time? If he can use a sealing technique to break the summoning contract on Kurama, I’m not sure why he couldn’t do something similar with the Rinnegan summons.
@@sageofthickcalves Because don't have enough amount of chakra. Breaking a summoning contract made by genjutsu it's way different to break a blood contract, and Nagato's summoning contracts are even different, they are a Rinnegan summoning. It was never stated or mentioned at the lore the kind of thing. Minato never done nothing like
@@val0liveira The summoning contract being forced onto Kurama via genjutsu doesn’t change the fact that it’s a summoning contract. So Minato having enough chakra to break that contract seal means he’d have more than enough to do it with the Rinnegan summons. However, if you don’t like that interpretation, Minato could simply one shot all of them with rasengans. The summons aren’t durable at all. He could even get rid of them by dropping the animal path in one shot as well. He’s got options here.
NAH Naruto gets an S what you mean? When it comes to the Shikamaru thing I think his scaling is weird for sure he's not up there but the Tree feat I think is just... I don't really know because isn't it implied in part 1 that he might have been able to do something to Tayuya who was in a Curse Mark Seal 2 state. I think this is a case of just his Jutsu having wayned and maybe like Kakashi in Part 1 possibly by the time of Boruto Proper he fixes it. Scaling like this might not apply to the Boruto anime as those are likely different canons or borrow or change from different things as in the Anime the fights are more flashy and such so we get more concrete feats for sure than in the Manga. I'll just have to watch the video again if I wanted to remember my other comments.
I got about 10 minutes in with scenarios here that you've given so far in this video lacks the battlefield context of the original fight I would do the fight with Sage mode Naruto the flight wasn't over until the character actually dies. That would a good scaling video.
Tsunade saved the village and kept the villagers alive and fighting is not the purpose of being hokage is protecting the village and that’s what she did there her summoning and she left the rest on naruto because she knew his potential
She most definitely did not save the village bro. It got flattened. Also, THOUSANDS of citizens died and were brought back by Nagato. She saved a handful of people, but most of Konoha died and got brought back by the rinne rebirth
@@sageofthickcalves but without her many more would die her being hokage is not about flexing her power like you guys want her to do it’s protecting the village she could have fought full power while others oats of pain were killing citizens but with katsina and tsunade long distance healing many people saved that was the reason she was in the coma
@@Soarin_1566 sure, but by fighting she would’ve been more useful because she might’ve been able to take Pain down. If she takes down the Deva path, the villagers can get the rest.
I love minato, good on you Kushina I want him to name the way I f these bees I'd you know what I mean.... "super sonic thrust of the death God level 2"
You're gonna say Tobirama, who has 0 AP/DC or durability feats, can beat Pain but Hiruzen can't??? And the only reason Hiruzen lost to Orochimaru is because he had to vs Tobirama and Hashirama (although nerfed) alongside him, and only died to using the Reaper death seal? The same hiruzen whose said to have Mastered all of the ninjutsu of the hidden leaf, and has all 5 Chakra natures? 😂. Not saying Hiruzen wins, but he should definitely fair better than Tobirama.
Alive Tobirama has the physical speed and strength to blitz each path and cut their heads off. His FTG also basically gives him AP negation because he can’t be touched by any of the paths of Pain.
@@sageofthickcalves His Kunai would get knocked out of the air and sent flying by Shinra Tensai which is an omnidirectional attack, the only way he has of avoiding it would be to outrange it and nothing in the story proves he has the durability while not in an edo tensai to survive. Tobirama also died to the Kinkaku squad, and has 0 ways to deal with Chibaku Tensai.
@@sageofthickcalves he has relativistic+ reaction feats, while Tobirama only has relativistic speed feats. Chaotic Shinra Tensei also wouldn't be a reactionary thing, as he canonically used it proactively, and as stated previously it would disrupt his flying raijin by displacing the marked kunai. The Chibaku Tensai also worked on Sage Naruto, with Sage Mode essentially granting premonitions, where Sage Naruto should also be relativistic.
@@Frstypwngaming 1: Tobirama reacted to Juubito, who’s LEAGUES faster than anyone Pain reacted to. 2: Sage mode Naruto isn’t relativistic and he’s the fastest person Pain reacted to 3: Pain only used the chaotic shinra tensei when Tsunade pissed him off and wouldn’t give up Naruto AFTER a good amount of time
I totally disagree with this, because kakashi even as hokage his power is increased, but why aren't you comparing him to minato? Or tobirama? Since you say he's MONSTER, then tell me something i wanna know, i still believe kakashi is F because he is plain as milk and can't even beat minato, tobirama, hashirama or even jiraiya, kashin is a failed product that is a fact that he's weak, because he can't win with senjutsu jiraiya, even if he able to beat pain, why didn't this plain man, use kagebunshin instead of summoning pakkun and doton doryuheki
Hokage Kakashi is stronger than Minato and Tobirama. His speed is arguably in the same tier as adult Naruto, based on the Kashin Koji scaling. According to the Hiden novel, he’s faster than a woman who’s a blitz tier above Raikage Ay’s lariat, so he’s at BARE MINIMUM physically as fast as Minato and Tobirama, but he has FAR more AP and versatility than they do. Kakashi honestly erects a massive mud wall, makes 5 clones, spreads them out across the village, and one taps each path of pain with shinden. Hokage Kakashi vs Hashirama is a better discussion to have.
@@sageofthickcalves then why can't he win against pain? You said he could use taju kagebunshin why wouldn't he used it instead of summon dumbass pakkun, and i still don't think he would win against hashirama, he might be fast, but let's see if he can survive of being buried alive in a tree
@@sageofthickcalves as fast as minato? Even at jounin he can't even take the bell from him, he can't even counter hiraishin no jutsu, i bet he wouldn't win again shiroii kiba, his own father, he is not as dangerous as his father so, yeah without sharingan practically he's plain as milk, like goku without kaioken or even super saiyan
@@DBKG29 Show me the speed scaling that puts Minato on adult Naruto level. If you can’t prove he can react to adult Naruto, you can’t prove he can react to Kakashi. As far as a counter for FTG, Kakashi has an omnidireccional shinden he uses in Boruto’s graduation exams that works as a perfect counter for FTG. Kakashi is stated and shown to he significantly stronger than he was during the war arc, so saying without the sharingan he’s plain as milk is verifiably false, according to Kishimoto himself.
@@sageofthickcalves on naruto adult level? Are you serious? Naruto need senjutsu for speed, minato doesn't need senjutsu because he learn hiraishin no jutsu, then if kakashi speed is faster than minato why minato has the title flash instead of him? Even he's stronger after war that doesn't mean he can take the title of yellow flash to him, he doesn't have a flash title on him? Adult naruto would lose to kakashi in term of speed of course because he need senjutsu for that, it shown in naruto the movie where he died and being revived back to live, he uses senjutsu to get closer to the monster itself. While minato doesn't have to use senjutsu for speed, because he have hiraishin no jutsu, then tell me how fast he is? How did he counter hiraishin? With shinden? Like chidori nagashi sasuke? In terms of speed minato still top tier, he can even mark the place he went before, it is shown as he mark obito while facing him
@@CONINETOOREAL Hiruzen and Orochimaru are stated to be equals during their fight in the databooks. Orochimaru very clearly scales significantly below Pain, so that’s where old man Hiruzen scales as well.
You said Kakashi was stronger than Minato but Kakashi said it himself after the fight against Kakuzu that only Naruto could surpass Minato. What do you think about that statement?
I think it’s very typical for someone as humble as Kakashi to see his sensei as unreachable. It’s also stated in the guide books that the person he’d like to fight most is Minato, so I think Kishimoto was trying to convey a reverence for his sensei in Kakashi’s character

As far as the Sage Mode Naruto tier with Minato, I agree. Ay is talking about Minato in light of his jonin stats and that is where he garnered his nickname "Yellow Flash". I think Hokage Minato should scale to a more mastered KCM which is above initial KCM2. We know at bare minimum by the narrative Minato is capable of deflecting 5 bijuudamas. But we know Hokage Minato AND Kushina together cap out at Mastered KCM2 stated by Kurama himself (which I would say KCM Minato is more of a rival if not stronger than that Naruto).

The only thing I’d say is Tobirama does state that he can’t teleport as many people as Minato can, but it wouldn’t really matter in this case since they don’t have a way to share their chakra with everyone without the nine tails. But yeah great breakdown!
@@sageofthickcalves Fair point and I didn't really include Shikamaru as I don't know his exact scaling after the 3 year timeskip. Regardless given his abilities he doesn't have the best arsenal to stop any damage even if he is capable of restraining or defeating the Paths. I think likewise if we added Danzo, he'd probably be the worst of the Hokage as he's the weakest (excluding Shikamaru) and can't prevent damage and would also lose a war of attrition and hax
@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 Yeah all we can go off of is the stuff we get in the novels for Shikamaru and he’s not even tree level with his shadow strangle. And as far as Danzo, he’s more useful in a 1v1, whereas he’d just get wiped against Pain lol
For the Hashirama section, Should have just shown footage of Hashirama doing the all hokage team ult against Pain, but edit out the other hokage, and proceeded to move on with tobirama
@@zirotsero6951 💀
Prime Hiruzen couldn't have known the rasengan cos Minato "Invented" it (Either re-invented it second after ashura or invented the whole jutsu) The reason his flying thunder god is better is because he greatly improved upon it Minato's Flying Raijin mark allows him to sense the surroundings of the mark, essentially giving him critical information about the battlefield.
Prime Hiruzen was probably around 40-50. That’s the prime for shinobi
If Hashirama or any other kage in the Boruto era were kage during that time, wouldn't you think that Pain would know of this legendary shinobi and would most likely come in with a different tactic??
I don’t think there’s any tactic he could use that would would against Hashirama, Kakashi, or Naruto tbh
@sageofthickcalves yall said he would mess up the village with every other character except the last ones, so why would he change that maybe Pain starts with the animal summons messes up the village starts blowing stuff up like he did. I still believe that the village would be destroyed in every senerio
@@GlobalLife_Music Minato would be able to handle him fast enough for that to not be a problem. There would be minimal damage, which is why we gave him a B+ and not an A
Before I watch the video I know hashirama stomps badly
In that panel he’s actually a lot smaller than the full nine tails.
His entire body is 3x the size of than his head and his height is the length of kurama’s ear
@@HC-gm4fo Kurama’s ears look absurdly long there in comparison to the rest of his head, but their skulls are about the same size
When Tobirama finds out about or sees the Rinnegan at all, he gets a massive hatred amp 😅 assuming he realizes or knows it evolved from the Sharingan or knows that they're Madara's eyes lol. I think alive prime Tobirama could make at least 6 clones, blitz ever path and either kill them on the spot or mark them with FTG seal, and pick them apart as quickly as possible. I would give him a B- or something similar to that.
It’s possible after getting six paths chakara from Obito that Kakashi got a Buff to his base afterwards. In my head canon he did but not as much as Naruto and Sasuke did post receiving seals
I totally agree. We’ve also never seen anyone who’s had 6 paths chakra lose it fully for life. Even Obito still had 6 paths chakra after getting the Juubi extracted, so it follows that Kakashi should still have 6 paths chakra after Obito’s buff was gone
Yeah Tobirama just like.. blitzes 😭 he is very quick to act like Minato notes. He'll see Pain trying to set up a large scale jutsu and just fuck him.
Yeah I think that’s most likely tbh
First 4 hokage smacks, tobirama only needs edo tensei and smacks. Plus he has his own teleportation jutsu. Blitz
yess im gonna watch this
Always appreciate the love 🙏🏼
With certain hokages pain is not getting the chance to use almighty push lol.1st 2nd 3rd(young) 4th ,upgraded hokage kakashi😁.and naruto.pain is getting pressed from the jump
I agree to a certain extent. The issue is the paths of Pain split up into 2 units, so each Hokage would have to split up via clones and cover the ground necessary to get to each unit. Depending on how long it takes for them to do that, the outcome could change
Well here's my take on every grade that the Hokage get.
Hashirama = A or an A+
Tobirama = B or a B+
Old Man Hiruzen = F+ or a regular F
Prime Hiruzen = C+
Minato = A- or an A
Tsunade = D+ or an F-
Kakashi = A or an A+
Naruto = A++
Shikamaru = Below F-Tier
Solid 🔥
Danzo: F
I actually don't think you were totally fair to Shikamaru. You didn't take his tactical abilities into account at all. I think he definitely could've come up with some kind of plan to lure at least most of the Pains to one area using something like having someone transform into Naruto or something and then restrain them with his shadow possession. At that point it should be pretty easy for people like Kakashi or Sakura or Choji or anyone else to start taking out the immobilized Pains.
Tobirama flattens those summons in seconds, best water style user ever not debatable. Considering how he traveled to the battlefield with the other hokage in the war in this scenario he just locates Nagato and kills him before chaotic shinra tensei comes out. Remember Konan refused to let nagato use it, It is not an early fight jutsu. I really think tobirama takes like 3 seconds to find nagato’s massive chakra signature and just body flickers there in say 30 seconds tops and just cuts nagato in half or hits him w Genjustsu so all the pains are nullified. Tobirama deserves an A- at the least if you actually consider his IQ, dojustu counters and actual speed scaling, which no one wants to acknowledge yet everytime Sauske is slightly faster than someone it’s an instant blitz gg. Tobirama vastly out scales pain, and if he was in tsunades position in the story, there is no way he doesn’t win before pain nukes the village. Not to mention he can teleport him away if needed and definitely has the battle iq speeed and hax to do so. he fucking does it to jubito and other kcm2 lv characters that are like 2-5x stronger than pain (at least). Sorry he just clears. Not even a tobirama glazer but come on guys tobirama slams sage mode Naruto with his eyes closed what are we talking ab here.
Let’s go!!
🫡
A question i always had was if minato was a perfect sage, why did he never use sage mode? Or i hear people say he just had it for backup/wasnt that proficient with sm.. any of these true?
No he just says that it takes him too long to gather the nature energy and it doesn’t last long. I imagine it has something to do with his chakra levels not being Uzumaki level, even though they’re still impressive
@@sageofthickcalves hmm.. you think if he was able to gather nature energy relatively quickly and it last a good amount.. he'd be able to go against Madara or hashirama or even hokage kakashi?
@@Ulises21500 the problem he has against Hashirama and Madara is he just doesn’t have the attack potency to damage them. With Kakashi it’s more about speed, so maybe the precog would help, but Kakashi is at least a blitz tier above Juubidara, so he should be fast enough to react to sage Minato with relative ease
@@sageofthickcalves hmm not even hos giant rasengan enhanced with perfect sage mode?
Would like to hear your analysis video on kakashi vs hashirama and kakashi vs Madara.. and how the fight would go/how'd he deal with the susanoo and thousands arm statue
Kinda silly but Minato could unintentionally defeat all paths of Pain if he happens to teleport them so far away from Nagato's body that they just collapse due to lack of chakra. 😂
You are so right. teleport them all outta range, then face the half dead Nagato himself.
Haha I love this
Don't forget Minato breaks summoning contracts. And he already has markings all around konoha.
Subscribing
AYE thank you so much!
Hear me out on Shikamaru: He has reaction feats to several people like Kinshiki and Momoshiki, Delta, Code, Boruto, Kawaki, as well as Naruto and Sasuke. He even dodged an attack from Delta. Since Delta and Kinshiki/Momoshiki should low key be stronger/faster than Madara, Shikamaru just being able to react to them and dodge an attack from Delta probably puts him several tiers above Pain in terms of just physical stats. Hokage Shikamaru might straight up be able to just taijutsu all the Paths of Pain in 1v1s very quickly.
@@ArikGST yeah the problem is he wouldn’t be able to damage them
Shikamaru’s biggest problem is his damage output he gets outclassed by pretty much every Kage
@@Edjuyl yup
There's no way you could compare the other Hokage in this fight if you don't allow the village to be destroyed by pain and Tobirama actually can survive that blast qoth raijin. Remember the rising steals never stopped so he's going to have a seal left on the warring states period he coild use
The point is how they would deal with it as soon as Pain arrives. Part of Tsunade’s failure is not engaging right away, but the other Hokage (aside from Shikamaru) would likely engage right away.
Even if Tobirama survives the chaotic shinra tensei by teleporting a good distance away, he’d have to teleport outside of the village with no way to teleport back since any markings left behind would be torn apart.
If they're in Tsunade's place, shouldn't they all know the abilities that Jiriyah saw with Ma and Pa?
@@stephencollins9396 yeah, but they only had a basic idea
@@sageofthickcalves While that is true, it was more than enough for Tsunade and her ambu to already have a technique to prevent some of Pain's abilities. I imagine with Kage that had a wider scope of jutsu, that should jump their response capabilities a bit. Especially the sensors who would know to look for another controlling party.
Tobirama pulls up drops some shadow clones and blitzes pain its that simple every hashira slams pain no diff ofc the village is gonna suffer damage but tobirama is one of the best sensory ninjas ever you think tobirama cant sense pain? And 5 other paths
I think he’d be able to sense him and take him out quickly if he tried to. BUT in character he also likes to talk trash, which might lead to a chaotic shinra tensei lmao
@@sageofthickcalves its not like pain doesnt talk either pain has ideologies that he expresses alot and in his monologue he would just get killed
@@arkaan.zomei2023 100% possible
@@sageofthickcalves also sage naruto was absolutely brutalizing pain but he only lost because sage mode ran out i think on paper it sounds good but after you look at the feats pain gets humiliated
For example minato. Minato has the rasengan that was easily enough to fuck up any path of pain hell 2 rasengans killed the deva path also minato conveniently has the speed of mafucking
4th raikage since they were stated equal minato has the ap to destroy any path of pain and has the speed to blitz any path of pain minato claps in a 1v1 so does every hokage except tsunade but if we're talking about war arc tsunade its a different story
@@arkaan.zomei2023 totally agree, except I think Shikamaru and old man Hiruzen also lose for different reasons. Old man Hiruzen just doesn’t have anything he needs to get the job done, and Shikamaru doesn’t have the AP.
Shikamaru was there during the original assault. Does he handle things with knowledge and prep?
No he gets folded
31:21 - Definitively Minato couldn't do that, 5 clones using FTG at same time. He can't. First of all, how could he seal all that summons?
Why couldn’t 5 clones use FTG at the same time?
If he can use a sealing technique to break the summoning contract on Kurama, I’m not sure why he couldn’t do something similar with the Rinnegan summons.
@@sageofthickcalves Because don't have enough amount of chakra.
Breaking a summoning contract made by genjutsu it's way different to break a blood contract, and Nagato's summoning contracts are even different, they are a Rinnegan summoning. It was never stated or mentioned at the lore the kind of thing.
Minato never done nothing like
@@val0liveira The summoning contract being forced onto Kurama via genjutsu doesn’t change the fact that it’s a summoning contract. So Minato having enough chakra to break that contract seal means he’d have more than enough to do it with the Rinnegan summons.
However, if you don’t like that interpretation, Minato could simply one shot all of them with rasengans. The summons aren’t durable at all. He could even get rid of them by dropping the animal path in one shot as well. He’s got options here.
@@sageofthickcalves Ii's not that easy
@@val0liveira it literally is. Sage Naruto takes out all of the summons in like one page. Minato is FAR faster and has similar AP
NAH Naruto gets an S what you mean?
When it comes to the Shikamaru thing I think his scaling is weird for sure he's not up there but the Tree feat I think is just... I don't really know because isn't it implied in part 1 that he might have been able to do something to Tayuya who was in a Curse Mark Seal 2 state. I think this is a case of just his Jutsu having wayned and maybe like Kakashi in Part 1 possibly by the time of Boruto Proper he fixes it.
Scaling like this might not apply to the Boruto anime as those are likely different canons or borrow or change from different things as in the Anime the fights are more flashy and such so we get more concrete feats for sure than in the Manga.
I'll just have to watch the video again if I wanted to remember my other comments.
I got about 10 minutes in with scenarios here that you've given so far in this video lacks the battlefield context of the original fight I would do the fight with Sage mode Naruto the flight wasn't over until the character actually dies. That would a good scaling video.
How does this lack battlefield context? We go from as soon as they drop into the village.
Tsunade saved the village and kept the villagers alive and fighting is not the purpose of being hokage is protecting the village and that’s what she did there her summoning and she left the rest on naruto because she knew his potential
She most definitely did not save the village bro. It got flattened. Also, THOUSANDS of citizens died and were brought back by Nagato. She saved a handful of people, but most of Konoha died and got brought back by the rinne rebirth
@@sageofthickcalves but without her many more would die her being hokage is not about flexing her power like you guys want her to do it’s protecting the village she could have fought full power while others oats of pain were killing citizens but with katsina and tsunade long distance healing many people saved that was the reason she was in the coma
@@Soarin_1566 sure, but by fighting she would’ve been more useful because she might’ve been able to take Pain down. If she takes down the Deva path, the villagers can get the rest.
I love minato, good on you Kushina
I want him to name the way I f these bees I'd you know what I mean.... "super sonic thrust of the death God level 2"
💀
You're gonna say Tobirama, who has 0 AP/DC or durability feats, can beat Pain but Hiruzen can't??? And the only reason Hiruzen lost to Orochimaru is because he had to vs Tobirama and Hashirama (although nerfed) alongside him, and only died to using the Reaper death seal? The same hiruzen whose said to have Mastered all of the ninjutsu of the hidden leaf, and has all 5 Chakra natures? 😂. Not saying Hiruzen wins, but he should definitely fair better than Tobirama.
Alive Tobirama has the physical speed and strength to blitz each path and cut their heads off. His FTG also basically gives him AP negation because he can’t be touched by any of the paths of Pain.
@@sageofthickcalves His Kunai would get knocked out of the air and sent flying by Shinra Tensai which is an omnidirectional attack, the only way he has of avoiding it would be to outrange it and nothing in the story proves he has the durability while not in an edo tensai to survive. Tobirama also died to the Kinkaku squad, and has 0 ways to deal with Chibaku Tensai.
@@Frstypwngaming Pain couldn’t react to Tobirama’s speed. He’s far too fast
@@sageofthickcalves he has relativistic+ reaction feats, while Tobirama only has relativistic speed feats. Chaotic Shinra Tensei also wouldn't be a reactionary thing, as he canonically used it proactively, and as stated previously it would disrupt his flying raijin by displacing the marked kunai. The Chibaku Tensai also worked on Sage Naruto, with Sage Mode essentially granting premonitions, where Sage Naruto should also be relativistic.
@@Frstypwngaming 1: Tobirama reacted to Juubito, who’s LEAGUES faster than anyone Pain reacted to.
2: Sage mode Naruto isn’t relativistic and he’s the fastest person Pain reacted to
3: Pain only used the chaotic shinra tensei when Tsunade pissed him off and wouldn’t give up Naruto AFTER a good amount of time
I totally disagree with this, because kakashi even as hokage his power is increased, but why aren't you comparing him to minato? Or tobirama? Since you say he's MONSTER, then tell me something i wanna know, i still believe kakashi is F because he is plain as milk and can't even beat minato, tobirama, hashirama or even jiraiya, kashin is a failed product that is a fact that he's weak, because he can't win with senjutsu jiraiya, even if he able to beat pain, why didn't this plain man, use kagebunshin instead of summoning pakkun and doton doryuheki
Hokage Kakashi is stronger than Minato and Tobirama. His speed is arguably in the same tier as adult Naruto, based on the Kashin Koji scaling. According to the Hiden novel, he’s faster than a woman who’s a blitz tier above Raikage Ay’s lariat, so he’s at BARE MINIMUM physically as fast as Minato and Tobirama, but he has FAR more AP and versatility than they do. Kakashi honestly erects a massive mud wall, makes 5 clones, spreads them out across the village, and one taps each path of pain with shinden. Hokage Kakashi vs Hashirama is a better discussion to have.
@@sageofthickcalves then why can't he win against pain? You said he could use taju kagebunshin why wouldn't he used it instead of summon dumbass pakkun, and i still don't think he would win against hashirama, he might be fast, but let's see if he can survive of being buried alive in a tree
@@sageofthickcalves as fast as minato? Even at jounin he can't even take the bell from him, he can't even counter hiraishin no jutsu, i bet he wouldn't win again shiroii kiba, his own father, he is not as dangerous as his father so, yeah without sharingan practically he's plain as milk, like goku without kaioken or even super saiyan
@@DBKG29 Show me the speed scaling that puts Minato on adult Naruto level. If you can’t prove he can react to adult Naruto, you can’t prove he can react to Kakashi.
As far as a counter for FTG, Kakashi has an omnidireccional shinden he uses in Boruto’s graduation exams that works as a perfect counter for FTG.
Kakashi is stated and shown to he significantly stronger than he was during the war arc, so saying without the sharingan he’s plain as milk is verifiably false, according to Kishimoto himself.
@@sageofthickcalves on naruto adult level? Are you serious? Naruto need senjutsu for speed, minato doesn't need senjutsu because he learn hiraishin no jutsu, then if kakashi speed is faster than minato why minato has the title flash instead of him? Even he's stronger after war that doesn't mean he can take the title of yellow flash to him, he doesn't have a flash title on him? Adult naruto would lose to kakashi in term of speed of course because he need senjutsu for that, it shown in naruto the movie where he died and being revived back to live, he uses senjutsu to get closer to the monster itself. While minato doesn't have to use senjutsu for speed, because he have hiraishin no jutsu, then tell me how fast he is? How did he counter hiraishin? With shinden? Like chidori nagashi sasuke? In terms of speed minato still top tier, he can even mark the place he went before, it is shown as he mark obito while facing him
Hiruzen as a old man beats pain
Stop the cap
I'm not old man hiruzen was said to be stronger than the 5 kage as a old man
@@sageofthickcalvesstop trying to downplay
@@CONINETOOREAL it’s stated that he had the REPUTATION of being the strongest of the 5 kage. Doesn’t necessarily mean it was true at that time.
@@CONINETOOREAL Hiruzen and Orochimaru are stated to be equals during their fight in the databooks. Orochimaru very clearly scales significantly below Pain, so that’s where old man Hiruzen scales as well.
You said Kakashi was stronger than Minato but Kakashi said it himself after the fight against Kakuzu that only Naruto could surpass Minato. What do you think about that statement?
I mean I think minato is above kakashi but kakashi became alot stronger after the kakuzu fight so your arguement is irrelevant
I think it’s very typical for someone as humble as Kakashi to see his sensei as unreachable. It’s also stated in the guide books that the person he’d like to fight most is Minato, so I think Kishimoto was trying to convey a reverence for his sensei in Kakashi’s character
