The 3rd Raikage did tank one with his lightnings shield though. It wasn't a perfect tanking (we did see some damage), but it's the closest thing i've seen to a direct hit. Everyone else, as far as i know, has always done their best not to get hit in the first place. I mentioned that part in my post, but from the visible damage inflicted onto the 3rd while in Edo-Tensei, I believe he would've been left in a near-death state if hit while actual flesh and blood. The chakra severance ability of the Rasenshuriken probably cut through his Lightning Cloak as well, hence the damage to the Raikage, but since he regenerates, it did nothing. Hence why I omitted anyone Edo-Tensei, but also used it as an example of how tanking it is basically impossible for anyone alive.

Dodging it is very possible, as seen many times, but what will you do about the second one? from a completely different direction in intersecting lines of fire. Surely it must be easier for Hokage Naruto to do this as it no longer takes him decades to prepare the Jutsu in Base? Thekillman wrote: Vladosaurus wrote: That's just ridiculous... Again, they probably don't even come close... I think you people overestimate too much dojutsu abilities in terms of chakra-taxing. It was never mentioned that either Nagato or Sasuke have large reserves, while on the other hand it was always stated that Naruto does in fact have massive reserves. Nagato fought an entire village alone, then fought Naruto and Kurama and even then he didn't run out of juice. The Fourth Raikage does only a fraction of this, yet he is stated to have biju-levels of chakra. Agreed, I drew my conclusion for Nagato from that as well. I also believe Sasuke has levels on par or surpassing even base Naruto, as he did fight for a while (not as much as Naruto, however) in the 4th Shinobi World War, and then Kaguya, then VoTE2. Both hadn't shown signs of exhaustion until the clash of their two massive jutsu, which they poured most of their remaining chakra into. Susanoo is also very chakra taxing as well. If he doesn't match or surpass his base reserves, he's damn well close to his levels since Sasuke is technically in base all the time, and has no higher modes that boost chakra levels. Vladosaurus wrote: Nagato and Sasuke surpassing Naruto's base reserves? Lol. They most likely don't even come close. As a teen Naruto stated that the rasenshuriken blows up almost all of his chakra when he was first using it. And even as a teen he had huge reserves. Again, with the Last feats, he created like 2 rasenshurikens back to back without breaking a sweat. In Boruto, to the limit as he was, he still amped Boruto's rasengan to many many many times larger than the usual one. I don't think some of you realize how chakra taxing these techniques really are. I don't see anybody pulling what Naruto does even in base. I do realize how taxing those techniques are, and hence why I mentioned in an earlier post he can easily outlast any of the people mentioned in this thread with his reserves alone. His ease of use of the Rasenshuriken without any visible fatigue reinforces the fact his reserves have grown massive, many times bigger than any average Kage-level opponent.
