@A Professional Idiot mk.2 Urashiki isn’t really the best example. And chojuro got sliced by Kinshiki and had help from Kurotsuchi and Sasuke.

I didn’t say anything about Urashiki

He could keep up in the Kinshiki/Momoshiki fight

Even Hashirama couldn’t keep up with Revived Madara, much less Juubidara, who isn’t as strong as Kinshiki or Momoshiki

The fact that he could react or be relevant in that fight at all scales him and the other Boruto era Kage above literally every other Kage in history besides naruto

I see, maybe I underestimated him

Yeah honestly I feel like nobody WANTS the Boruto era Kage to be that strong, since they aren’t very interesting as characters and it doesn’t feel like they earned their strength, but they’re all just absurdly strong

"Absurdly strong" is what I wouldn't put it as. Just the 4 of them were barely able to subdue Kinshiki and they've already shown that on their own individually, they suck. They just can't keep up with the new villains like Otsutsuki.

I bet Hashirama could have a better performance because the power scaling in Naruto is inconsistent. He still has way better capabilities and feats. If Chojuro and Kurotsuchi had poor performance individually on separate arcs, it only makes sense that Hashirama can do way better.

4 normal humans with no unique abilities or six paths power beat an Otsutsuki who’s stronger than Juubidara

I’d consider that “absurdly strong”

Sasuke believed that the Four Kage were capable of defeating Base Momoshiki & Kinshiki despite them being above Kaguya according to her scroll and the novelization.

"No unique abilities" is just wrong because Gaara's whole persona is his sand techniques. Pretty unique to me. Everyone else can be seen as non-unique though.

Sasuke's beliefs are wrong. A character can say something or make a hypothesis and still be wrong. Their word is not absolute. They got slammed by Kinshiki and they had to try their hardest as a comeback and were barely able to subdue him. Momoshiki is more powerful, so if they're busy handling Kinshiki, then they're cooked when they have to deal with Momo.

I meant unique like Six Paths stuff, dojutsu, tailed beasts, chakra mechs, etc

They’re all pretty normal ninja, just really strong ones; Gaara’s rlly the only exception with the sand

@IKTime I would say Base Momoshiki running from Darui for 4 pages straight kind of descales Momoshiki more so than it upscales Darui. @A Professional Idiot mk.2 Same deal with Chojuro And Kurotsuchi vs Kinshiki. Kinshiki got trapped by a shadow possession but that doesn’t scale Shikamaru above Momoshiki you feel me.
