    Kakuzu could've been an insane major villain, He could've been killing people and taking their hearts to use their release (Wood, Lava etc) and he would be impossible to talk no jutsu since he only cares about money.

      I'm not sure how true this is, but I remember hearing that Kishimoto suffered a slipped disc during this arc and was in severe pain while writing and drawing it. If I remember what was stated correctly, Kishimoto didn't want the manga to go on break nor did he want anyone else to complete it for him, so he kind of rushed the ending.
      Again, I haven't verified the validity of this but I do remember hearing about it a few years back after he spoke at some event. Also, I could also be misremembering some of the info but I'm pretty sure that's what was stated.

    I find it highly unlikely that Kakazu came anywhere close to defeating Hashirama for a few reasons.
    1. Naruto and Kakashi managed to kill four of his hearts, and neither were anywhere close to Hashirama.
    2. While Naruto did admittedly have to be rescued once, he still essentially beat Kakazu alone, in his base form, and adding Sage mode pushed him well past Kakazu and into the Nagato weightclass of power. Hashirama, who was likely stronger in base than Naruto was in Sage, could also use Senjutsu.
    3. Kakuzu fought him, never said anything about beating him or coming close to it. Given his personality, he would have said so if he had.
    4. Madara embarrassed 2nd and future 3rd Tsuchikages. Hashirama was still stronger than Madara.

      Not saying you’re wrong I’m actually agreeing with you in fact but I will debunk one feat you stated about Naruto taking on Kakazu. The reason why Naruto defeat Kakazu so easily is because of rasanShuriken, it was stated that that move is extremely powerful and potent and something that has Hashirama did not possess himself also rasen Shrunken was a perfect counter for Kakazu since he could regenerate rasen shrunken could cut him down to a molecular level which basically gave Naruto easy mode in that fight

    I firmly believe Hashirama cells killed him. No one was able to beat him nor implied to be stronger than him however they were shinobis who could damage him. I remember a brief moment in the series where Tsunade said constant regeneration of ones cells can kill someone and her regeneration jutsu should only be used when its absolutely necessary. If I'm not mistake Kabuto once implied Kimimaro constant regeneration of bones and cells might be what led to him developing his disease. When Orochimaru found Kim he did not had his disease back then but constant training and battles to be Orochimaru strongest servant and possibly his vessel is what led to him possibly developing his disease. Hashirama also died before age 55 meaning he died in his prime (36-54) and not because of old age or assassination since his senses wasn't dull because he wasn't old.

  • @xemnadicaxolando2217
    @xemnadicaxolando2217 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Hot take: Hidden Waterfall just disliked Kakuzu. They sent him to Hashirama to die, and they were using the "you failed to beat one of the strongest ninja alive" as an excuse to get rid of him. Also, I sustain that Hashirama or whoever was his brains at the time wanted to troll the other villages into self-destruction by giving them incredibly unstable and dagerous power in the form of "demon-possesed" shinobi.
    No, really, Jinchuuriki tend to be mistreated and escape, and Kakashi's backstory literally included dumbo-dropping Isobu into Konoha with Rin as a trojan horse. Would Tobirama just allow Hashirama to give away that much "power" and "assets"? No, he was cynical enough to see where that would end!

    This actually hits different with Fu's I teracrion with Kakuzu in the anime, where she tried to befriend him. If this is the way it was intended to be seen, Fu would know his history and possibly have come to the same conclusion, and she then tried to manipulate him into wavering in his drive. Unfortunately for her, Kakuzu had been around for so long that it would take a lot more than someone asking to be his friend to shake him out of it

    Kakuzu always was my favorite akatsuki member, together with Tobi (no, not Obito).
    He's also kinda what more on the "actual ninja" side of naruto. Wearing a face mask to conceal your identity, actually using "hidden techniques" and overall being secretive.
    Also his money hungry persona together with Hidans batsh*t crazy attitude made for one of the most entertaining akatsuki teams to watch. Their conversations mid-battle were pure gold and I'm super sad about the fact we didn't really get to see more of them. I also read somewhere that the mangaka was sick at the time? Nevertheless, great guy.

    I always felt that it was a mistake to make his opponent hashirama, and completely ridiculous when we actually met the man and saw what he could do. Even kakuzu at 5 hearts couldn't touch the man. Instead, his opponent should've been tobirama, even better if it was revealed that he killed tobirama. Firstly it's way more impressive a statement that "i killed the second hokage" instead of " i survived the first. He beat me like a red headed step child but i survived." Plus it means we could get rid of those stupid knockoff jinchuriki and their dumb outta nowhere weapons

    well, 7 tails was originally assigned by hagaromo to watch over the lady that would eventually become the village hidden in the waterfalls. I assumed the waterfall village had a jinchuruki because the previous jinchuruki had died for whatever reason, so the tailed beast eventually reappeared back to the waterfall village. the same thing happened to 3 tails when rin died. sure it was a filler arc but 3 tails had t reappeared in it's swamp where it was originally assigned many years after Ron's death
