Why Naruto Battles Never Lost Their Strategy (Even In The War Arc) 

What's the most strategic moment in Naruto?

One of the most underrated High IQ moments that I love that not many people bring up is the Naruto vs Pain fight.....I LOVE the moment where Naruto is held by the chakra-absorbing Path, and Naruto uses that moment to simply hold still to absorb Nature Chakra, allow it to absorb that, and make it petrify! Absolutely outstanding! And then him using his Clones at the end to bolster himself against the Almighty Push??? AWESOME.

While I agree that naruto didn't lose anything in terms of strategy, I think that what people really like is the fact that ninjas could do a lot using very little. And when they used an op ability, it usually came with some king of repercussion. Late series has none of this.

To be semantic... Strategy comes BEFORE the battle, it's tactics once the battle begins. If you look at it that way, almost every fight had strategy...it just consistently proved pointless.

Kidomaru vs Neji is by far the most strategic fight in the show

The problem I have with Obito's and Shinobi alliance's “strategy” is that there are too much unnecessary actions. For example, Tobi's declaration of war was very ambiguous. Instead of fighting in large open battlefields like a complete noob, what if he had simply started a guerrilla warfare against the villages? Gone after civilians to anger the Kages and Shinobi? Convinced smaller villages like Otokagure to join his cause? Laid siege to weaker villages? Attacked infrastructure? Infiltration of military command (espionage and sabotage)? Asymmetric warfare? Real ninja shit?

The characters used to use strategy because there were real stakes and repercussions behind choosing to use an OP ability. In part 2 it just seemed like they used strategy because they wanted to find the most convoluted way to win instead of just using their OP ability that has virtually no drawbacks that they conveniently forgot about

ok there is a clear difference between amping up. and holding back. sasuke when curse mark is released is amping up. lee dropping weights is lee no longer holding himself back which is not amping up amping up would be what lee does when he releases the gates.

It's just a lack of inherent cohesion that alienates fans though. You can say there is strategy, but it doesn't always make sense. When Sasuke is given an all-powerful ninjutsu like Amaterasu but then simply doesn't use it or it is no longer as powerful for no good reason, all strategy goes out the window. It's really engaging to see how Shikamaru gets out of tough spots using his very limited but potentially powerful techniques because he has to work well with what he has. When you introduce ridiculously obliterating jutsus or some of the space-time ones, it just gets kind of silly that there even is room for strategy sometimes. Amaterasu should insta delete most things for example, even if you come up with reasons for it no to work on specific targets etc.

Not only was Naruto disguising one of his clones as a Rasen-Shuriken, a great use of strategy and example of Narutos battle IQ, but it also DOUBLED as a great call back to when he and Sasuke used that very same strategy against Zabuza in the land of waves arc.

Naruto also tricked Kaguya when he put the truth seeking orbs behind a clone deceiving her that it was the real one.

The reason why it felt like no strategy was in the war arc is because raw power overcomes strategy, quickly devaluing it. That's why we don't remember all these strategies. Shikamaru vs Hidan strategy was well remembered because there is value behind the strategy, it worked. The 5 kages trying to seal Madara, executing it flawlessly, only to not work just because it's Madara and well nope, the strategy easily gets devalued and no one remembers it because it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. While I see your point in there still being strategy in the war arc, the fact that they don't matter anymore in face of overwhelming power is probably why most people can't remember them and felt like there isn't any more strategies.

14:28 Just wanted to clear something up the reason why people don't complain about the Nine-Tails and gamabunta because they're not human. the problem with the perfect susanoo is that it being done by a human which was never seen before. it's also A uchiha exclusive ability which make it worse where as summoning Jutsu could be used by anybody. also Tbh the perfect susanoo basically did nothing in the war it only appeared once and then it just disappeared Madara never used it again so it was kind of pointless in my opinion

I don't think most people felt the series lost its strategic element, quite the opposite, what drives people mad is the powercreep, it reached the point that visually Naruto turned into DBZ with all those explosions. Back then Kaiju type events like the ninetails destroying the village where treated with the respect akin to a natural disaster, a huge catastrophe that took the lives of thousands included the 4th Hokage(considered the strongest back then) but in the war arc Madara can just blink and spam dozens of huge susanoo clones like it's nothing, that's the type of shit people can't stand about late shippuden, not the lack of strategy.

I never thought strategy was lost, but the Power scaling was super crazy. I feel like there was a much better way to do this then make everyone Goku power. Like in OG Naruto, the strongest jutsu we knew, even from Adults was Chidori, and it was basic a Instant-kill Jutsu for anything other then a Jinchuriki. To get from that to Blowing up multiple fucking mountains in a single attack... Too fucking much. Made everything feel that much less impactful

There are literally SO many strategic fights in the war you could have mentioned too. Kakashi vs 7 ninja swordsman, Naruto piercing the third Raikage’s shield, Naruto and B vs Itachi, etc

Problem is powercreep not lack of strategy alone till war arc Afterwar arc all gose out of window and kishimoto is definitely on weeds

I'm looking forward to see how would you handle the war arc , from what i have seen you're doing a good job with the re-write series

it definetly did lose strategy since the powerscaling wouldnt allow even characters who were supposelly smart to counter some more physical stronger foes.Say Shikimaru at the end of Shippuden wouldnt have a chance against most of the main cast just because of their powerl level even though he's canonically one of the most smartest characters

As much as I love the 5 kage vs Madara fight, the fact their strategy just fails because Madara has a bigger Susanoo is something I can see people having a problem with. As a side note about Kaguya I think she’s a good idea thematically even if she was executed poorly. She should have woken up as soon as Madara used the infinite Tsukoyomi, then the rest of the fight would be Naruto and the rest vs Madara while he’s fighting her off inside his mind to try and stop her from taking over. Then the final fight between Kaguya and everyone else could have been them outsmarting a much stronger enemy.

I have three fights that swap between being my favourite (Naruto Vs Pain, Lee Vs Gaara and Kakashi Vs Obito) but Kakashi vs Obitos choreography and the way it tells its story is unmatched in my opinion. One thing I really liked in the Naruto Vs Sasuke fight was how near the beginning Sasuke stopped Naruto from using his hand signs to (I presume) summon his shadow clones, its subtle so is easily missed if you're not really paying attention

I’d say some of these examples don’t count as strategy in any meaningful way. But there is definitely more strategy in the later series than a lot of people give it credit for.

this guy always talks the ways Sasuke could've won his last fight against Naruto but he doesn't talk how much Naruto could've used to win that fight and I wonder why

I feel like with the last Naruto vs sasuke fight, they both had a pretty good feel for each other’s powers. Since they knew each other that well, there was no room for a strategy that would ultimately fail against each other. Either that or they were using strategies that countered each other and eventually realized that they just gotta do whatever they gotta do to win.

Kakashi v Obito in the Kamui dimension arguably has the best choreography out of any battle in the anime and it was one of the last fights. So yes lol

In Lee vs Gaara, Lee figured out he needed to separate Gears from his Sand. Gaara kept Lee at bay by having an orthodox defensive layer and the using hardened goard as a last means of defense against Lee's onslaught. There were tactics present.

Lee's strategy was amping himself (mainly his speed) in order to get past Gaara's sand and do some real damage to him. Also, Gaara's sand was protecting him at first, but once he saw that his auto block could no longer from Lee, Gaara went on the defensive. Not only did he have to use the sand armor, but he watched Lee like a hawk for the moment he could substitute himself and capitalize on Lee's weakened state. There was strategy involved in that fight, it's just harder to see because Lee's fighting style is so straight forward and Gaara's is so subtle

Fights felt more personal and didn't have the feel or aura of being larger than life from, in my opinion, kishimoto's peak in part 1 OG Naruto. I didn't need all this to enjoy the fight between Sasuke and Orochimaru in the Chunin exams, or even nejis fight in the Sasuke retrieval ark. The show couldve ended at that ark for me.

I feel like it's the scale of things, not the strategy or lack thereof that was the problem. Early on, Amaterasu was a terrifying ability that only a "villain" had. By the end of it, Naruto gets stabbed by Sasuke's version of it and he's somehow fine. That might've just been an accident by Kishimoto, but still. Things just escalated to an insane degree. And I feel like to some degree Perfect Susanoo and the tailed-beasts/summons are a false equivalence. One is a technique, the others are beings with minds of their own separate from shinobi. In terms of physical size, sure, but that's it...

I loved the video and your content! I have a few notes tho: I think that to say that the war arc lost strategy entirely is wrong, but the strategic aspect was far less important in that era of the show. Before the war arc, there were countless examples of a fight where the strongest fighter lost because the other fighter was able to use strategy to determine their weaknesses (ex nature vs pain, Any shikamaru fight, team 7 vs zabuza). That aspect was completely forgotten about in the war arc. Sure there is strategy, but you did cherry pick all the best examples. Where was the strategy in all the pre Madara war fights? It didn't exist. Also, it's frustrating that in the war arc, the winners of fights were usually whoever had the best magic eyeball, not the smartest character.

I always felt like out of the quote "big three" Naruto always had the best fights from a tactics standpoint. Sure, I enjoyed the spectacle of Bleach a lot more and the zaniness of One Piece. But Naruto always had that great blend of tactics. Sure, aesthetically, I never liked how it leaned too far into Kekkei Genkai, Bijuu stuff, but I'll give Kishimoto credit in that the fights themselves still had that edge of tactical know-how, where it wasn't just ungabunga, DBZ spectacle. A great example of this was Naruto vs Pain with the Shadow clones. A really clever bit of payoff with regards to the rules of Shadow Clones and also a pretty badass way to showcase how Naruto managed to surpass Jiraiya in Sage Mode while also being a badass to boot.

I had an idea for a what-if fight: Sage Hashirama and EMS Madara (both are in their prime) vs Juubito, imagine a hypothetical Majestic Attire Thousand Arm Buddha Statue throwing hands with a Ten Tail Jinchuriki on the battlefield.

Weird comment...but I love the background music. It's subtle,and calming,with almost an analytical sense to it. So many creators over do it with crazy music,and high volume. Under appreciated touch 💯

What makes Naruto drop for 9/10 to 7.5/10 for me is the Kaguya part and especially the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura part. Sure Naruto denied it, saying that Sasuke and himself are their own person, but denying something doesn't mean it's not true. There's not a single build up to that reincarnation BS.

Video idea: the seven ninja Swordsmen are wasted potential

Most people don't care about strategy. What they are trying to say, is they want the fights to be tense. That's all stories are, right? Problems and resolutions to those problems. Gaara vs. Lee. Sasuke vs Gaara. Little strategy involved. But who cares? Lee had a great character showing, and Sasuke fought nobly against Gaara even though he wouldn't win. Why are these fights okay, though? Well for one, Gaara is still a wild card. We knew he was some kind of monster, but we hadn't seen the extent of his powers. What's more, we figured that Sasuke (to a degree) was up to the task of taking Gaara down. Moreover, it showcased their GROWTH. Little strategy. But, tense fights because the battles felt fair. Naruto didn't need an Izanami level asspull or some random powerup to beat Gaara. He and Gamabunta did so just fine. Same with Sound 4 fights. While these do indeed have some elements of strategy, this is not what makes them good fights. It's that we thought neji, Lee, gaara, choji and Kiba could've literally died in that arc. The fights weren't just strategical, they were genin fighting to the bitter end, using every ounce of their strength to succeed against WORTHY opponents. Now do you see? It isn't strategy people want. People want consistency. They want the fights to make sense. When Madara just undoes ET or flies (literally) and takes Kakashi's eye like he's superman, or when Guy survives the Gates or when other stuff like this happen, people aren't missing strategy. They're missing the fights making sense and being fair and grounded in what we already know about the characters involved.

Killing it with the content man keep it up 👌🏾💪🏾

Cool video, btw Can you make a video abou all naruto retcons , because I like the way when u talked before about tailed beasts and minato , can you make a long video about all naruto retcons it will be awsome

Most consistent narutuber I hope your subs blow up bro

Even the side fights with all the sealing they had to do after the edo tensei during the war arch. Each fight had to be taken care of tactically with those specialized revived fighters with UNLIMITED chakra. Naruto was amazing all the way until the end. Madara should’ve been the end boss without Hagaromo needing to give them godly powers.

What good is strategy when the enemy can nuke you with meteroids and has endless regeneration and chakra? btw. I have every single instance of Susano not only the 'perfect' one - this is so uncompatible with the Sharingan theme of the Uchiha. Most other things are somewhat relatable to eyes - better seeing, predicting movement, analysing Chakra, copying jutsus, genjutsus - even Kamui and Amaterasu are related to vision. Susano: now I am a puppet muster of a chacra entity I summon by doing nothing except think about it

The only thing i truly dislike about naruto fights is just how many of them end with sudden power ups. Some people really loved every time naruto turned into the 9 tails to beat up his opponent but I always just sighed. Naruto turning into the nine tails to beat pain felt like it stole narutos victory, it felt like pain won and then was promptly cheated out of that victory because naruto had the nine tails. Every time naruto should have lost by his own merits he's saved by the giga fox. Naruto literally gets killed by madara, and is promptly revived shortly after. The series basically sets it up so that naruto can never lose and thus every fight loses some tension because why would you ever worry about him winning or not? if he's on the brink of losing the literal god of the manga will come back to reality to give him a huge power boost.

Kishimoto just build different. Yeah other manga also have strategies but naruto makes them visual and more entertaining instead of " if I move my arm towards his head with a speed of 3 km/h he will notice I have my foot in my his head"

I'm surprised you didn't mention Naruto's first strategy against Kaguya... His Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu. I personally think that was the most brilliant strategy in the entire series. And made me finally like some of Naruto's character and realize why he's the protagonist. It was such a full circle moment. The only Jutsu that Naruto was ever good at his lowest skill level, a Jutsu that he was constantly berated or made fun of for using, a Jutsu that doesn't seem to have any combat value.... And it was that jutsu that was able to catch the most powerful character off guard for the first time and almost saved the world. And honestly, literally no other character would have ever thought of that.

Strategical counter please

the most impressive thing naruto did in the pain fight or the entire series really was the reverse summoning jutsu to bring his shadow clone over to refill his sage mode, that was so good.

I agree with your point, there are many strategical battles in naruto but for me at least that's not the main problem. The main problem is how the power scale blows up without little to no explanations and also very rapidly, you can see this from naruto training for a whole arc to get the rasenshuriken done and then in the war arc he suddenly could use 100 variants without any apparently effort. In my opinion, so many gifted power ups along with poor explanations about their origins make the war arc the most controversial one in naruto.

❤ good show mate

Wow this is a very strategical video about strategical battles that were still strategical in the strategical series of Naruto!!!.... Strategical

Dygo misses the point again... The complaint about strategy is deeply rooted in the audience wanting characters to trade repercussions or sacrifice something to gain some power or solution Lee powered up against gaara but it had a price ,same for Naruto those moments had some emotional pay off A trade IS a strategy especially if it's emotionally expensive.. its more like fighting an INTERNAL battle War arc has too many gains of power without any repercussions

I think this video may need to distinguish between strategy and tactics a bit..

15:24 by this point, in context, the "strategies" are observably less smart than those that came before it Oh hashirama reflects the tailed best bomb using wood hands? intelligent strategy. What? Madara blocks? Oh he’s so smart

The problem is that you can’t pick and choose when you wanna bring this point up because strategy is in the eye of the beholder from OG Naruto all the way to Boruto you get fights with strategy and hand signs ( and don’t say characters in boruto don’t use hand signs that’s just a flat out lie ) and you get fights where people just slug it out till someone wins My best example is garra vs rock lee one of the all time great fights in Naruto that has zero strategy it was simply the old method of unstoppable force vs immovable object and ultimately garras defense worked out in the end but Then you have saskue vs deidera which was text book ninja strategies at its finest In boruto you’ll have a Naruto vs ishikki fight which is just taijutsu to the max but you also get team 7 and kawaki vs boro which showed team work and ninja arts at its best Naruto offers a variety of skills and fighting styles so it’s all about perspective and personal taste to me

I agree with you to a certain extent but when Madara took down mountains like a tailed beasts, it broke the system

Look idk if you do your own editing or if someone else does it but it kinda goes hard. Good shit lol

Was waiting for you to use "stagegery"

Remember: even Dragonball only became nonsensical explosions where the bigger power up wins toward it's end...

Bro the strategy was get gud kid

6:22 now that you've summoned us you have to come to Brazil 👋🏻

I don't think the blasts of energy were a problem per se. Rock Lee vs Gaara is a ideological debate with fists, which is incredible and it doesn't need the other clever stuff we've seen in Shikamaru fights. The problem is plot shield and no consequences to actions which would got you killed if you were a normal character. The problem is saying "look at this world, it's so structured and well-thought" and then Sasuke surviving an atomic bomb because well, he's the main antagonist basically. I've always hated Sasuke for that reason. At least Naruto had an intelligent device to keep him out of trouble, the Kyuubi, which is also a good excuse for endless chakra. I don't think people were mad with the anime later on because of how weird or explosive things got, it's just madly inconsistent and illogical within the same rules we had been believing for the whole time.

Not that I disagree with your whole video but I think the Rock-lee vs Gaara thing was a bad take. The point of the whole fight was specifically to contrast rock-lee, who has nothing but hard work and taijutsu, with Gaara who was given immense power at birth and doesn't need do anything (even move). I think people are forgiving of that fight because we know that, with his limitations, Rock-lee can only punch harder and move faster (which was still a losing strategy in the end).

momoshiki vs Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha fight was rather awesome

1:30 the more immediateproblem was that by the end of it, strategy just flat out didnt matter, it was entirely about who had the bettergenetics/buffs/inherited powers....in a show that established earlier than raw talent alone wasnt enough....

The final Naruto vs Sasuke was the way it was for a reason. Naruto and Sasuke can't use strategy against each other because they're both hard counters to each other. 1. Sasuke can't place Naruto under genjutsu because Kurama will immediately snap him out of it. 2. Sasuke can't catch Naruto by surprise with any attacks because Naruto can sense the Chakra of even beings in the 4th dimension of limbo. Sasuke had no choice, but to overpower Naruto.

Nahh in the last fight there was still strategy, sasuke realizing naruto managed to recover chakra and going to absorb it, then the chidori and then the aolit second decisiom where naruto realized that sasuke didnt have enough chakra for sharingan, that was amazing and its my favorite fight in the anime.

when i first heard tiis complaint about Naruto, it was before i even got to Shippuden. so i kept searching for this xlack of strategy to an almost obsessive level, and i just could never find it

Great video to prove people wrong about the loss of strategy.. but i do hope that deidara bit was an exaggeration when you said 10 tails level blast and the strongest jutsu. Because the meteor drop and several feats onward outclass the deidara feat

Where do you get your manga panels from? As someone who watched the anime, I'd like to read the manga, but preferably with better translation (no "Ninja Centerfold") and color (assuming the color is done well, which it seems to be in the panels you show).

I would define the strategy as tactics instead, with a few exeptions. If people in Naruto were actually stratigic then almost all fights could never happen.

i’m constantly checking this channel for the rewrite

2:19 that's so disingenuous of you. Gaara literally uses a substitution to help him win the fight.

After considering for a minute I think it's not that there's no strategy it's that allot of these strategies often don't pay off because Madara can just use some overpowered ability to get out of whatever trap he's put into. There's allot of strategy being used by Madara's opponents but not allot being used by Madara himself because he has no need for strategy because of how strong he is.

Kakashi+Gai+Naruto vs Obito was underrated. it had ninja tools even that late in the game, a cool team, and strategies.

kaguya annd zentsu was planned since the beginning, thats one thing most dont realize....zetsu even showed up to watch the first naruto v sasuke fight at the valley,....yes back when they were kids....its not a retcon if they planned it from the beginning

It's not like they don't use strategy but the reliance on big boom-boom jutsu did increased that was supposed to increase as the power level of villans increase.

15:07 the difference though is the 9 tailed fox and the giant frog Gamabunta are like mythical creatures/animals that are treated as a natural part of the world. The Susano is a giant energy humanoid monster that mimics the attack of the user like a mecha. I don't mind Susano and think it still works in the lore, but I can see where the Mecha argument comes from

I think us Anime fans in general get pretty emotional about our headcanons and opinions. But Naruto for me at least gets especially emotional. I think it's because Naruto is an amalgam of really good and really bad stuff coming together. You see so much potential being wasted left and right but it still competes with the likes of One Piece and FMA. It's hilarious and infuriating all at once. 😆 The rewrite series is making me realize that even more.

3:00 “listen here Suzan I’m Black” 🤣

rock lee had strategy; we just weren't fast enough to see it

The war arc naruto had so much plot armor everywhere

The thing i hate most about naruto fights is that all the most powerful people jist come from powerful clans. In og naruto people like shikimaru rock lee and shino were strong but didnt come from op clans

I appreciate this kind of videos but instead of hearing of jubidara in the original Naruto I would like to hear about him in your rewrite so how about an episode of the rewrite every week or so?

14:40 most people don't compare the Ninetails and Gamabunta with the susanoo beacuse both of them are entities rather than jutsus/kekkei genkais. while yes, the ninetails when sealed can give the user more chakra and gamabunta/other summoning creatures shown can be summoned with chakra + a seal, they're still not justsus themselves.

6:19 hahahahahahaha that’s very funny.

9:10 so the Rinnegan is the final form of the sharingan, but can't see through naruto's basic genjutsu? This is a plot hole tbh. If genjutsu worked that well then Kakashi would have used in with his chubby buddies against the very same pain present in that battle. Edit: it seems i fucked up on the transformation jutsu, sorry boys. Severly underrated jutsu this one.

I think you've lost the point of the criticism. Yes there's still attack/counterattack etc, but we are talking TELEPORTATION, truth seeking orbs that annihilate whatever they touch, giant impenetrable armors, etc. OFC there will be counters, otherwise it wouldn't be a fight, but the issue is that we went from people punching each other and whatnot to landscape altering planet busting moves.

Dygo Knight the coments you made about the sasuke/naruto last fight kinda makes sense, but sasuke was using simpler strategies there (throwing a fireball and then coming from behind to hit a Chidory, and also using Universal Pull + Flame control to beat naruto. At the start of the fight pressuring him to stop his shadow clone before they become too much for him to stop. However his strategies in that fight are really simpler compared to his fights against danzo and deidara, and theres a natural phenomenon that happens in every human being that, for me at least, explains why he was so rushed in his strategies in that fight. Wich is called Decision Fatigue. If you observe sasuke you can see the times where that hit him (after fighting danzo, he goes to fight aggainst kakashi and just pull out a susanoo and blinds himself instead of playing a bit more strategic, and also that fight against naruto) since naruto had kurama's help during the war, he didn't had to make all his fighting decisions ans strategies by homself which could've decreased his Decision fatigue. Just a theory, an ANIME THEORY, thanks for reading

Looks like somebody didnt look at Naruto v sasuke properly. There was strategy there. The whole early portion of the fight was Sasuke prventing Naruto from using his staple Shadow clone jutsu by preventing the hand sign. He was kicking his ass. Then even after lots of clones summoned sasuke used a universal pull into a inferno style attack to neutralise all at once. If thats not strategy idk what is

I don’t like the susanoo because it came from the eyes’ power despite being unrelated to vision. It should have been unique to those who inherited Indra’s chakra and of course his reincarnation.

4:33 hahahahahaha that funny.

i completely agree with the closing statement, it's really just thise 2 god awful things that keep Naruto from being universally accepted as legendary

I know its probably Storm canon since CC2 was ahead of the anime with Storm 4 and because I legit CANNOT remember if it happened in the War in the anime💀 BUT even so The Allied Shinobi vs the 10 Tails and Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke vs Sage Madara has CRAAAAAZY big brained strategy Sinking the 10 tails in a hole and filling it with cement and drying said cement and then YEETING EVERY possible jutsu the had at it with RasenShuriken leading jt was HEAT🔥🔥 And then Naruto and Sasuke essentially combining their chakra and Anchor themselves with Susano's Swords. Then the form a Bijuu bomb and continue CHARGING it then using it as a LITERAL DRILL to pierce Madara's meteors was ALSO DOPE🤷‍♂️💯

There's also Kakashi vs the Tendo path. I like the strategy on that fight

How about starting a new series?Battle analysis of every naruto battle.

Haven't watched yet, but I agree. Even with the power creep, strategy was still there

I think we wanted even MORE high IQ fights, that's definitely how i felt back then.

Sometimes I feel like people hate the war arc far too much people say the entire arc was bad But the war arc was pretty good until Kaguya and the ending that ruined it That's why I always said Naruto in all honesty shouldn't have ended and just should have had a part 3 with a 5 year timeskip

okay but what about obito, how the hell did obito expect to win? he had declared war on the nations before kabuto agreed to an alliance with him which means all he had were white zetsu who weren’t even powered up by kabuto and maybe they could do something with their shape shifting abilities but white zetsu aren’t very proficient in combat (haven’t watched the video yet, so will edit if he does talk about it)

I think Kishimoto is a huge fan of kaiju battles

take a shot every time he says the words strategy or strategic
