If Kinshiki was FTL he would have bodied the four kage, who are nowhere near lightspeed lol. Everyone keeps making these scaling comparisons and claims without actually looking at what happened in the manga/anime. If Kinshiki was FTL, he would have shown it, if he had the strength to split a planet, he would've displayed it. He did neither. A planet level shinobi should be able to destroy shinobi who aren't near that level, but Kinshiki didn't, which is where this whole thread stems from.

Because Kinshiki was also fighting Sasuke. That should have been obvious.

Power scaling is about looking at what happened in the manga/anime and compare it to other things happened in the manga/anime. You dont just pull it out of nowhere. Sasuke has already shown that his chidori has enough energy that can pulverize half a meteor. He was even suppressed at that time. Sasuke already hit Kinshiki with chidori several times. And since Sasuke was serious during their battle and not suppressed and is Planetary level, those chidoris are dishing out between at least city level energy outputs to planetary level. Area of effect does not always reflect the energy output since there are a lot of different types of attack. Naruto's durability casually blocking Toneri's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion that cut the moon in half, which has an energy output of 280+ exatons of tnt (yes, people calculated it) or just small planet level attack, with one hand is an example of Area of Effect not applicable. And since Momoshiki's Takamimusubinokami has beaten the durability of Naruto and Sasuke's full powered Majestic Attire SPSM Kurama mode, his attack is scaled to planetary level+. That is how power scaling works.
