@Jason

I was talking purely running speed. KCM naruto chose to do a guard against a V2 jinchuriki does that mean he is slower in shunshin? or even has slower taijutsu speed? Sometimes a guard is good enough. Blocking is a standard move even in real life boxing, it doesn't mean you couldn't dodge the blow necessarily. And how many times have I said that edo Madara is featless?

My point about the lava is that he didn't see Ayy coming until the last second, hence he chose the quickest and most instinctive action- a guard. Ayy is still incredibly fast but he had Mei's support there.
