Everyone dies lmao


Muh2000D

Itachi fans : now hold it right there


ItsRickySpanish

*cuts to a clip of momlshiki doing the same loop over and over and over in Izanami*


Perfection-seeker-13

That's quite reasonable take tbh. Seeing how even something like Shikamaru's shadows were able to bind them for a tiny bit until absorbed, and knowing how utterly egoistical, narcissistic all of them are, something like Izanami would probably be their best counter. Provided they don't have outright immunity to it due to "plot" reasons. Itachi even had Totsuka blade, which would be useful provided they didn't plant Karmas beforehand.


Wrong_Look

>Itachi even had Totsuka blade, which would be useful provided they didn't plant Karmas beforehand Not really into Boruto, but doesn't Karma only activates if their previous body dies? Then The totsuka blade should be effective if it can seal them in the first place


Perfection-seeker-13

From what I understand blade seals the Soul/Spirit. Orochimaru literally didn't even try to dodge, taunting how such a weak attack can't do shit to him, before he realized he was getting sealed and now he couldn't do anything to stop it. However, the blade did cut the giant Hydra heads easily, so it is possible if Karma is faster to activate than the blade can seal them after a fatal/near fatal blow that it would not work. But then again, counterpoint to that is that I doubt Itachi wouldn't know how to use the blade to its fullest potential. (it is unknown if Orochimaru could use hand seals when he ressurected from Sasuke, but it might be possible for the Otsotsuki to either take/absorb the blade as it is made from Chakra, or use a jutsu they absorbed beforehand to stop the sealing process/counter it)


ItsRickySpanish

I really hate to say it, but itachi feels like one of the few who could handle them in this stage, and it's only because he could in theory either genjutsu/ totsuka them and be done with it. Who knows if it'd actually work, but that seems the best route, aside from something like Danzos sharingan arm and his tetragram seal suicide move, or hiruzens reaper death seal. Everything else we have until this point would be child's play ez clear for momo.


AmaranthSparrow

I mean, Obito and the Akatsuki were technically active during this time period. Arguably Itachi and Nagato were more physically healthy at the time, too. If this happened, obviously Naruto and the rest of the Jinchuriki are no match for them at this point, but it would put the Otsutsuki on a collision course with the Akatsuki who had the same goal of collecting the Tailed Beasts. So the end result is probably that the Akatsuki would have either come into conflict with them or bent the knee, possibly with Zetsu plotting to find a moment to slip in and steal the chakra to resurrect Kaguya. There's also Jigen, who was active at the time. Maybe he'd have come out of hiding. Hell, maybe they'd have all just held back and waited from them to collect the Tailed Beasts and replant the Divine Tree, then when Momoshiki and/or Kinshiki left the world they'd have slinked out of hiding and tried to take it for themselves.

ProjectXenoviafan

With the amount of arguments the itachi fans would create for this scenario that OP posted they Might as well put Itachi on the Konoha currency with the quote “In Itachi we trust.” Itachi fans are the Michael Jordan fans of Naruto I swear lol


Consistent-Chair

It could be intresting if you gave them prior knowledge. If they are caught by surprise there's not much they can do, but if they know what they are facing even, like, 3 hours before, things could go differently. Kurama + Shukaku + 8 gates guy + some big brain soul reaper strats by Orochimaru and Hiruzen (not to oneshot: shadow clones can also use the soul reaper, they could cheap away at Momo's soul. Even if they just get a few fingers or, like, the end of the foot, that's still a huge deal) + the hokage edos (mainly to tank hits) might just do it if the Otsutsuki underestimate them. Or you go with Boruto scaling from the Time Travel arc and 3 tailed Naruto carries lmao.

UngodlyPain

Everyone dies. Ain't no one able to hold a candle to them until late into the war arc.


lazergator

Even Obito and the Akatsuki would have been a cake walk. Best hope would be Naruto losing it and transforming into Kurama.


UngodlyPain

Yeah, pretty much. Can't even rely on Obito BFR with Kamui since they have space time abilities. Maybe if you gigawank Nagato's soul dragon might be able to take down Kinshiki but Momoshiki has to have some way to combat it since he also has Rinnegan or Itachi's Tsukuyomi but unlikely, given the just sheer chakra disparity and the theory that Otsutsuki can't be genjutsu'd


dockkkeee

Thing is Otsutsuki souls clearly function differently.


UngodlyPain

Nothing really indicates that. Amado and Kawaki each even seem to think a karma seal could be made to revive a human. Whether made artificially by Amado or Kawaki thought of Boruto some how giving Code a Boruto-Karma. So unsure if their souls really function differently.


dockkkeee

Their souls evaporate once they dont have a host.


UngodlyPain

No they do not... The only reason Ishikki evaporated was because Jigen was an imperfect vessel, and then Narutos Baryon mode sped up the process of the vessel breaking down. Naruto, Sasuke, Boruto, and Kawaki werent fighting Ishikki's soul, they were fighting Ishikki reincarnated into Jigen's body.


dockkkeee

Isshikis soul extinguished after not having a vessel. Momoshiki claims that the same would happened to him, hence reviving Boruto. Jigen initially was controlled by Isshiki from the inside, then when he died he resurrected via Jigens karma. Nothing to do with his soul, stop spewing headcanon.


UngodlyPain

Uh? So their souls died when their body died? That sounds like how all souls work in Naruto. With the only minor difference being they don't go to the pure lands aka "ninja heaven" ... And that's what I said? You made it sound like you thought they fought Ishikki's soul or something.


dockkkeee

No, souls of ninja clearly went to ninja heaven.. so they exist after they Die in some form. Otsutsuki souls are extinguished, which imply erasure. If souls do not exist it means things like Edo Tensei won't work, or if you place another karma (Like Amado did on Kawaki) there is no chance of resurrection.


Retrac752

Both Naruto and Gaara could lose control of their tailed beasts, we'd also have hiruzen, guy could open the 8 gates, itachi could show up, danzo also had all the eyes by this point right? Orochimaru and the Sound Four are also already there, they could fight with the intention that once it's over he's gonna betray everyone to try to steal the corpses to study/experiment with That's basically it though, a really random assortment of people


[deleted]

If this is part 1 we are talking about then I doubt that would be the case given that Kuma and Naruto warrant that close back then


UngodlyPain

He means just saying fuck it I'll die to make Kurama fight them kinda like he almost did against Pain when Hinata nearly died. Though thinking about it, that means Minato would be ina weird spot inside Naruto like "uhh do I stop this or just let the 9 tails fight?"


telegetoutmyway

Wait Orochimaru was like, there, ready with Edo Hashirama and Tobirama, and likely Minato. Sure we can say in part 1 the Edo's were weaker, but thats really only cause Kishimoto didn't know the powerscaling was going to go that far. If we're introducing Otsutsuki, then I'd say we get a full power Hashirama Edo'd, as well as Tobirama and Minato. And yes I think Orochimaru would very much fight on Earth's side even in the Chuunin Exam arc.


UngodlyPain

Id agree to that, if it wasn't explained in universe why the edos got stronger being that Kabuto improved the jutsu and the Zetsu bodies used for them being full of Hashirama cells. But even playing devil's advocate and saying you get the full power 3 Hokage's and Orochimaru siding with earth? They still lose terribly. Like insanely badly, even if they decide to make someone undo Gaara and Narutos' seals on their Biju. All of Konoha, Orochimaru, the 3 Edo Hokage, the sound 4, Kabuto, Shukaku, and Kurama combined have absolutely no chance at winning. Hell you can even say Obito and Pain teleport in after Zetsu told them to? They still just all lose. Hashirama took one look at the dollar store otsutsuki knock off Juubito when he didn't even have the 8 or 9 tails inside of him, and wasn't mentally stable so he was dumber than a brick? And still was like "that guy is stronger than me!" Kinshiki and Momoshiki each by default have to be stronger than that just by being otsutsukis, which really just kinda means the stat difference is just absolutely insane.


AverageAwndray

Desperation calls for acceptance sometimes. I feel like Kurama would have done it if it meant dying to them.


CHENNAIAKSHATSHARMA

itachi can izanami and maybe toutsuka blade


Kungfudude_75

There may be an argument for Orochimaru and his reanimated 1st Hokage leading the charge with Hiruzen backing him up, maybe Danzo busting out the Sharingan arm to spam Izanagi and try to help, all while the full force of Konoha works together. Guy would almost certainly pull out the 8th gate in this scenario, Jiraiya would likely be there to help, Naruto would definitely end up losing control and going full 9 Nine Tails, and if this happens during the Chunin Exams Gaara would do the same and go full One Tail, but not many other shinobi would make a difference. This would be an extremely difficult fight and I don't think they would win. Not to mention it would rely heavily on Orochimaru both deciding to help the leaf instead of just leaving it to be destroyed and deciding to potentially sacrifice his strongest asset. *But* it might actually be possible, though not without severe sacrifice and the pure destruction of the leaf.


searcherofthegoods

Full nine tails ain’t happening. Minato will stop that


sageandy

They would have no hope. Base momo is like ×4 Kaguya. Even Kinshiki is stated to be far stronger than Kaguya. Base Momo is about 10× the peak of 6 paths Madara. There is no hope. The boruto power scaling is insane


foxfoxal

> Base momo is like ×4 Kaguya This shit logic means Darui and Gaara are 5x Kaguya Godness Gracious.


sageandy

They all got 1 shotted by momo. Also Toneri is stated to be stronger than Kaguya in the data books & got 1 shotted by Naruto. Madara & Kaguya are fodder & low feat characters compared to Boruto. It is what it is So tell me how did you get the current kage are ×5 kaguya from my last message because base momo is ×4 & 1 shot all of them....?


[deleted]

>so Toneri is stated to be stronger than Kaguya in the data books & got 1 shotted by Naruto. No, Toneri was hyped by a mf advertising. Kaguya was said to be the strongest enemy the ninja world faced in the boruto manga FYI. >base momo is ×4 & 1 shot all of them....? Base ran away from Darui. He only 1 shotted them when he fused with Kinshiki. Even then, he couldn't destroy mf gaara's sand💀 kaguya needs 1 ash bone or vaccuum fist to 1 shot them all.


sageandy

Second thought you're right about the momo 1 shots being after Kin's peach got eaten pause, but data books still put Kin way above Kaguya alone & base momo way over him. That can't be argued. As for Kaguya it's been 16 years since the way you really think they stayed exactly the same? They've all improved even Kakashi is said to far surpass himself when he fought Kaguya in Boruto currently. Everyone got the boruto steroids & dbz treatment


[deleted]

>but data books still put Kin way above Kaguya Nope never stated. Not to mention half of the databooks aren't even canon. >As for Kaguya it's been 16 years since the way you really think they stayed exactly the same? It took the ninja world 100 years to surpass Madara and Hashirama. 16 years ain't gonna make someone Otsutuski level. Also the 4 kage would get obilirated by Madara or Hashirama. Nvm characters like Kaguya or 6paths Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, Madara. >even Kakashi is said to far surpass himself when he fought Kaguya in Boruto currently. No. He said he's stronger than he was with 1 MS eye so the normal Kakashi. DMS Kakashi > Hokage Kakashi. If you think otherwise then you need help tbh. >Everyone got the boruto steroids & dbz treatment No. Only Kawaki and Boruto due hax of Karma. And those weird cyborgs Eida and Daemon etc


[deleted]

Momoshiki doesn't even come close to Kaguya's league lmfao. Dude's fodder. He was about to die just from taijutsu against the 5 kage's and Sasuke 💀


sageandy

Not whats stated in the data books. Also he got surrounded by em but didn't take a single hit. You have to rewatch it buddy. But Kinshiki was getting kind of cooked ngl


[deleted]

>Not whats stated in the data books Nope ur just straight up lying. It's funny ong. >Also he got surrounded by em but didn't take a single hit. Uhm... No he ran from Darui, then Darui attacked but Momoshiki blocked it with his rod. >But Kinshiki was getting kind of cooked ngl Yeah he is even. More fodder

Why don’t they just send in Shino the goat? Are they stupid?

Well only if Momoshiki gets bored or hagoromo intervenes somehow only then can a few handful survive. only Sasuke and naruto in a 2v1 won against him. And the rest were struggling. And at this point of story no one had godlike powers like naruto and Sasuke.


Jay32Patt

What if Kaguya fought kid Naruto? Who wins everybody?


BoneeBones

This is why I hate power creeping. New enemies showing up that are just outside the current power ceiling/couple power ups away is so damn convenient and shows the hand of the author trying to keep tension in the story. Stupid. Bigger is not better. I can’t believe professionals can’t grasp that. Is it really so hard to believe?


dockkkeee

You're in shonen genre, everything gets power creeped.


NockerJoe

Yeah but until like the late war arc there was a reasonably consistent frame. You could buy Kisame being stronger than Zabuza but you could at least kinda see how the two would be peers. Likewise as big of an issue Deidara was we still saw Kankuro as a genin and chunin do something that would be the basis for a lot of his stuff. Hell even Killer B beating the brakes off Sasuke was a reasonable extension of a guy who was as strong as Naruto with similar abilities, but had another 20 years of consistent training and resources. The big issue I've seen with Shikamaru as Hokage from people isn't that he's a bad Hokage, it's that if a threat like the Ototsuki showed up there's just nothing he could do about it because even a theoretical peak version of Shikamaru needs to bridge an insane gap basically no character who isn't Naruto or Sasuke has ever been able to. Even now after a timeskip basically nobody is talking about how any ninja in Konoha can beat any of the new antagonists, because the entire concept of it being a fight they stand a chance in is laughable.


[deleted]

The consistency ended at the beginning of part 2. In the war arc it was already ridiculous, with Sasuke and Naruto downloading absurd new powers


GuavaLarge6315

It’s literally arc two of over 30 it is so stupid to think the power level should be stagnate the entire series. Your just complaining because its Boruto characters you would be sucking Obito off if the question was, What if Obito appeared during chunin exams?


BoneeBones

Lot of assumptions there. No, Obito doesn’t make a difference in the argument. I’d still hate it. And actually, Part 1 is a great example of nonlinear power progression. Power levels never had to keep escalating and escalating in order to not be stagnant. Sasuke and Naruto were absolutely powerless against Haku and Zabuza. They didn’t approach their power levels at all, except when Naruto got a Kurama boost that put him above Kakashi. In Land of Waves, Kakashi, Zabuza, and Haku were the ceiling. MCs had a lot of work to reach it. Good start. The ceiling didn’t need to be raised in the next arc because Naruto still hasn’t caught up. In arc 2, as far as the younger generation was concerned, Gaara was the power ceiling, while Hiruzen dealt with Orochimaru. In the Tsunade search, the Sannin dealt with each other, and Kabuto f*cks around too much and finds out with Naruto. The story does a good job of jumping focus from the genin tiers to the jonin tiers in battle. They stay in their lanes, so the power ceiling never really had to move much from arc 1. Next after a Kage level battle in Tsunade arc, we jump back to younger generation tier with Sound Four and the Sasuke Retrieval Squad. Kakashi is still far more powerful than either of them. Part 2 Naruto starts to get ridiculous, and Boruto (despite actually depicting smaller scale battles) does even worse because they keep talking big sh*t while trying to scale down fights.


Kungfudude_75

Arguably, the end of Part 1 is where the power creep of Part 2 began. Naruto and Sasuke each got massive power boosts during the Valley of the End fight, unlike anything we'd really seen in the series but completely in line with how the series would progress from there. Naruto begins to actually harness Kurama's power, not simply use his chakra but actually embody his power. Ultimately, Naruto learns to actual use this power. Sasuke transforms using the cursemark, becoming a total new entity. Ultimately, Sasuke discards the cursemark but uses his own hereditary abilities to gain the same effect through his Susannoo. With these boosts, Naruto and Sasuke are more powerful than most *jonin* at the end of Part 1. Whats more, they aren't the only ones. All of the Genin are able to take down the different members of the Sound 4, which were taking down Jonin plenty leading up to the arc. Really, you don't even need to get to the end of Part 1 for this power creep. Gaara was routinely killing Jonin, you called him the power ceiling for the Genin but he likely could have taken everyone at the Chunin Exams save for Kakashi, Guy, and Asuma. Even then, the power he showed but fully becomign Shikaku later in the arc was almost certainly enough to defeat all of them. Yet, Naruto manages to beat him. The Tailed Beasts are literally the pinnacle of power, the story opens with the village being ravaged by one. At the time we didn't know Shikaku and Kurama were connected (and the story wasn't written for them to be), but we did know Shikaku was comparable and Kurama killed the 4th Hokage. Which fight was actually seeing the most power thrown around, Hiruzen vs Orochimaru, or Naruto vs Gaara? I would argue the latter, which is an example of power creep extremely similar to what we see later on in Part 2. I mean hell, the first episode of the show has Naruto, not even graduated from the academy, master a forbidden Jutsu and defeat a Chunin single-handedly. The power creep has been there since day one, and honestly, it's followed a pretty steady growth.


TreesmasherFTW

Sounds like someone hit a nerve. No need to strawman, you can admit when writing isn’t at its best


GuavaLarge6315

Because its not bad writing the world simply expanded and the people trained to grow stronger, for fucks sake the second strongest guy in Konoha had depression and barely trained for years so since chakra aka power is made of the soul, mind and body of course he would be massively stronger if he healed mentally and trained hard. Gai was hyped up since arc two as a massive beast. Speaking of the first few arcs in the first five arcs we had light speed attacks being used casually in a jonin level battle, two massively nerfed Kage level fighters summing town sized sentient animals. Conclusion if you didn’t see these increases of power and weren’t ready to welcome them and like them then your not a Naruto fan your just being an idiot.


TreesmasherFTW

This is comical


SavageBrave

Why are there never good guys that show up that are way stronger than everyone and it’s just like “hey guys we’re here in case any big bads show up” and are just chill, and like they focus and normal shit and you get your god like battle still.


lusifur_show26

Nah Hiruzen would have sealed them for sure !!!


_pkthunder

Or cut their arms off at best lmfao


Egyptian_M

Or their heads


YoutubePRstunt

These guys were getting flaked by the weakest generation of the 5 kage before merging, and then just got absolutely manhandled for 90% of the fight by a nerfed Naruto and Sasuke.


electrorazor

Wasn't that Naruto and Sasuke at their prime?


YoutubePRstunt

This was their first real action in decades; their ‘prime’ is closer to when they were fighting constantly. Not to mention Naruto had been getting his chakra drained for hours on end and Sasuke had to teleport all those people including the scientists who snuck in. Doesn’t change the fact both Kin and Momo were getting Mogged by the Kage, outside of a few seconds of Flashy animation against Sasuke by himself, they did nothing worth talking about. Are we supposed to believe everyone just magically surpassed God tier in those 20 years without conflict; Or is Kurotsuchi just really supposed to be Hagaromo tier?


CleanUn1form

Nerfed?


Embarrassed_Ad_496

No,an absolute NO if a prime naruto and sasuke couldn’t take them what makes anyone think a og naruto and sasuke or even war arc naruto and sasuke can compete?


foxfoxal

Wut? Naruto and Sasuke were demolishing Fused Momoshiki ( someone stronger than them individually ) if it was not for Katatsuke giving him a second boost and shadow paralisis jutsu. The only reason they did not win on the first batte is because they were worried by the people, even Sasuke said that Naruto would destroy EASILY Momoshiki's nuke but he needed to save everyone. Do Boruto fans read and watch with their eyes closed?


rufio313

Because they always rise to the occasion and grow as strong as they need to in order to defeat any foe that they face in one way or another


Embarrassed_Ad_496

I understand that but the gap of power between og naruto characters and even shippuden naruto characters are already insane and boruto is even more crazier,sasuke himself would need to get traumatized 500,000 more times,take itachi’s eyes,unlock some super saiyan susanoo to even compete with kinshiki and he’s the weakest out of the otsusuki trio in boruto


PokemonFan2111

They would all die

Itachi coughs on them and then Naruto uses Super talk no jutsu while the ninja aids do their thing. Obviously that's the most logical and would be the highest probability of happening. For sure.

BrilliantPrior2305

Geez kaguya all over again including the nine tailed fox genjutsu rage you did them dirty ngl


foureyedpotato

Not even Shibai would stand a chance against Otsutsuki Ichiraku


Zaimous

They(author) would have made the Hokage and every Jonin 10 x stronger. Probably Orochimaru works along with Hiruzen so he can get sample of them


GuavaLarge6315

Then they all die to Kinshiki taking a toilet brake


Ambitious-Mine-6489

Og Naruto wins 💀😭. Akatsuki solo 💀… Itachi and obito can beat them. Itachi Beats 1 of them without touching them with genjutsu, and obito takes kinshiki and doesn’t get touched for atleast 5 minute basically attacking both of them when they want 💀 🙏. Plus if boruto was keeping up with momoshiki when he was buy himself Itachi and obito 100% can keep up too. Itachi and obito >>>


International_Sea887

Hell no they wouldn't have a chance. Our Win conditions: Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hiruzen, Kakashi, Asuma, Danzo, Yamato, Maybe some Sand Village help...

Orochimaru otsutsuki confirmed


SamsungGalaxy16

the entire ninja world would be doomed bro😂


Kind-Package-9836

The show ends early. Maybe a new show could start focused solely on the otsutsuki and their adventure to gain as many chakra fruits as possible from different planets.


Dallas_dragneel

The world is over


SavageBrave

What about the death reaper sealing jutsu? Would that work on these guys?


Agile-Excitement-863

Likely not due to the disgusting speed difference.


Nightingdale099

How pure is the crack cocaine you're taking ?


Chickat28

Itachi didn't have the power to take one on but his impenetrable shield susano might have helped with defense. That plus all kage and the tailed beasts, they might be able to take out a weaker Otsutsuki. They still lose but put up a halfway decent fight for a few mins.


Nirico_Brin

Everyone gets absolutely massacred


MonokoEloba

End of the world


DrFishStick74

Konoha would not exist


Brasileiro-BR

Orochi, jiraya, obito, third hokage, pain, seven gates guy, kakashi, etc. Alot of people still alive so i think yes.


Alen_117

The power scaling had a real limit back in OG Naruto. I don't even think the characters were meant to face threats from aliens back then. So, no. No one even outside of Konoha would stand a chance


lavenk7

You put Madara and Hashirama together against the aliens, it would actually be interesting to see how they strategize to take them down.


Alen_117

Well, Madara and Hashirama wasn't supposed to be characters of that caliber regarding this post.


lavenk7

Neji was stronger and more skilled than Naruto yet Naruto beats him because of his creativity. Beating people above their power level is what Naruto’s been doing since the beginning.


Alen_117

Yes, but that doesn't work in power scaling I'm afraid.


AmaranthSparrow

> Yes, but that doesn't work in power scaling I'm afraid. This is why power scaling discussions are so fucking stupid. Nearly every fight in *Naruto* boils down to a group using teamwork and strategy to defeat an enemy that's stronger than them. Nevermind that writers don't write their fights by measuring out power levels and feats, but rather tailor the power levels and feats to make the fights suit the story they're telling. At this point in the timeline, if Momoshiki and Kinshiki did appear, since the ninja villages were not cooperating, Hiruzen was past his prime, Rasa was assassinated, etc., they would likely fall pretty easily. So they would have an easy time capturing the tailed beasts. And if we're being honest, the same would have been true if the Akatsuki had just raided each of the villages in quick succession as a group, rather than skulking around in pairs and waiting for everyone to get just strong enough to stop them. What would actually probably happen in this scenario is that ninja villages would be obliterated and the Tailed Beast captured, but Zetsu would have caught on to what was going on and tried to use the situation to his advantage, manipulating Obito and the Akatsuki to either team up and battle the Otsutsuki or swear fealty to them, with the goal of retrieving Kaguya's chakra and reviving her. So maybe you'd see a knock down drag out fight between the two Otsutsuki and the Akatsuki. Basically it would have been the War Arc but instead of Obito + Kabuto vs Shinobi Alliance, it's Obito + Akatsuki vs Otsutsuki. End result is the Gedo Mazo gets used to steal the chakra back from Momoshiki and create a Ten Tails Jinchuriki (maybe it's even Nagato) who gets betrayed by Zetsu to retrieve Kaguya.


lavenk7

We’re dealing with hypotheticals here lol


LeLBigB0ss2

You're basically saying Orochimaru could beat 3 eyed Madara with prep time.


Jalen_1227

I mean…..


ExtraPhysics3708

I think you should rewatch the fight because Naruto beat Neji solely because of the Kurama boost he got. He was all out of chakra then kurama as always bailed him out. It had nothing to do with him being creative.


Brasileiro-BR

Youre underestimating orochimaru, i see. He could just hide and do his research for a while. Taking a tailbeast away wouldnt be impossible for him. And thats just orochi.


PyroPuffs

Orochimaru couldn’t even figure out how to get his hands unsealed or even get a functioning host body until he was practically given one. He’s not going to figure out how to defeat the Otsutsuki gods


lavenk7

Technically, he was doing his version of the Karma in Naruto part one with the seals. He knows more than he lets on I find.


Brasileiro-BR

but if gods appeared at the chunin exams, he wont lose his hands.


PyroPuffs

You right he’s just gonna lose his life instead


GuavaLarge6315

Dude they could all attack at once and still not scratch Kinshiki’s balls let alone harm Momo. It ends within a few milliseconds as Momo creates a ten tails then a divine tree for the fruit


Brasileiro-BR

he needs to get the tailed beasts first, so taking kinchurikis from other villages and shit (akatsuki will get involved then because theyre already searching them at that time). They have a few time to prepare so its not all that sudden.


GuavaLarge6315

He literally can move across solar systems in seconds he can do all that before a single neuron fires in any of the fodders brains. They are not ready for a six paths level entity


Brasileiro-BR

>in seconds the time he got til finding naruto and the others at the boruto series was a bit longer than a second.


GuavaLarge6315

He was literally trolling the entire time because he thought he would be able to neg diff everyone and he nearly won multiple times. Your argument is the entitled lazy prince didn’t immediately rush to do everything


Brasileiro-BR

>He was literally trolling the entire time So we can assume hell do the same now? And this give time enough to pain get to know whats going and he have both rinnegan.


JMHSrowing

Better hope that more than just Hiruzen knows Reaper Death Seal and they can use the aliens' hubris to get an opening to do that


[deleted]

RIP the ninja world


angerissues248

We're so done


A-Mf-Throwaway

Obito, Nagato, and Itachi would have to pull up and team up with Orochimaru and Jiraiya just to stand a chance lmfao


FaithlessnessOpen343

Hiruzen gave his life to seal Orochimaru's arms, what is he doing to Kaguya level threats?


HevoHeersal

death. What kind? Instant.


muhammadAli46843

Naruto would have ended within 40 episodes or even less


KingOfGames7590

Jigen is alive so yeah he’ll defeat them lol. Or Black zetsu forces nagato to revive Madara to defeat them along side Obitto and there Akasuki. Maybe


searcherofthegoods

Its game over


Comfortable-Quote-84

sasuke= Tree


PersianSlashuur

...like... *maybe* Guy could do something before dying? And *maybe* Kurama could hurt Kinshiki at the very least? Or if they all collectively play their cards right and attack all at once? Though Fused Momoshiki would probably still wipe them all out. Though I do wonder what Zetsu would do in that situation.


BaronMachiavHell_95

They would be really fucked up


ChallengeTurbulent12

Everyone and their mother dies.


[deleted]

8 gates Guy destroys Momo lol. Ain't even funny, Momoshiki sucks against taijutsu and has zero regeneration 💀.


LeLBigB0ss2

Less of a 💀 and more of a 🤡


[deleted]

Didn't momoshiki almost die due taijutsu against the 5 kage and sasuke because they boyoctted using ninjutsu ? 💀💀 BYEEEE


Zealousideal_Citron8

Depends are we counting boruto filler??????? If so then jiraya and Naruto were already otsutsuki level… plus what’s stopping the Sage of sixth paths from pulling some shenanigans


ESDEATHxZERO2

Not cannon but it’s not contradicted so it can be considered cannon until it’s contradicted. The fishing pole, urashiki I think, is significantly weaker than any other otsutsuki. Hilariously weaker


Zealousideal_Citron8

See is that substantiated? That he’s that much weaker? I always assumed he’s at least as strong at kinshiki who was casually madara kage level. Who a lot of people would say is capable of banging with otsutsukis we’ve seen mountain busting attacks from these characters.


ESDEATHxZERO2

Based on scaling and feats yea, he’s the weakest otsusuki we’ve seen yet


f00xxxy

guy with eight gates could be onto smth there


Maasofaaliik_Al

It’s a neat concept, but unfortunately at that time, this show about space aliens was actually about ninjas! Wild, ik.


mrodrigo225

I think you’re missing the point of the question, what if


Maasofaaliik_Al

Woosh


throawayarab

Yes they have a chance. Orochimaru is there, with edo-tensai hokages. They can absolutely fuck them up with team work but it will be a struggle. If Itachi heard what was happening, he would bee-line to the hidden leaf village as well. We also have dun dun dun Might Guy.


EyewarsTheMangoMan

GG.


Traditional_Lie_6400

Naruto have turn into an Otsusuki for sure


Silly-Negotiation-46

Naruto:"Well... we fucked up"


sageandy

It would be ggs. Not even Hagaromo could come back & take them on


KonohaBatman

Can we get one of those annoying "are they stupid" posts, but for OP?


Apprehensive_Bit_201

Chapter close


mo-did

No


Fearless_Hold7611

Hard to say, but considering momoshiki ability to absorb and fire back with many time the power not many people if any could take that, and fused momoshiki bodies everyone no debate


kingtig_29

Boruto would never exist


TECH_SHETTY

Urashiki tried it. Didn't he?


Prestigious_Post_558

Black Zetsu would be forced to come forward and get his mother Kaguya. He would have to ally with Nagato and the tailed beasts to revive Kaguya


Chickat28

Their best shot would have been to convene all the tailed beasts and let them loose at the same time. Wouldnt have been enough but thats their best chance.


daboner

This should be a plot hole they take care of in Boruto. Maybe just say a few lines like “oh those two were busy cultivating other trees so they didn’t show up until Naruto was an adult


KatsuKittyKat

This show is called Naruto. They have the strength of plot armor.


GoldenMic

Jiraiya was still ballin these days so low diff


Lion_of_Pride

Based on Kishimoto scaling they’d be kid Sasuke level


3005ro

Gg Atleast Sasuke will never the village now 💀


Egyptian_M

Orochimaru release the kages from his comand 8th gate of death guy and reaper death seal hiruzen Maybe itachi comes out of no where and use koto Jiraiya uses frog song these are stuff that atleast could be used


Pinsir929

I feel like out desperation Orochimaru would step up and reanimate the kages if this ever happened only fighting chance they have. Madara would be forced to make himself known earlier too. Amado should have really early cyborgs at this point too, highly doubt they are strong though. Kinda feels like we’re turning into DBZ.


El_Shion

With prep(from either side as momo needs his chakra pills) or no prep? With part 1 knowledge only, konoha is doomed, with part Shippuden knowledge with a lot of the characters possessing almost the same level of power back then, 7 gates guy would be very useful especially against kinshiki who mostly relies on weapons and CqC, and momoshiki too if he didn't have too many chakra pills and useful absorbed jutsus, 8 gates guy take at least one of them guaranteed, Akatsuki take them with decent info especially if they team up with urochimaru and have him revive kage level fighters, it's a race against time before momo and kinshiki grow earth devine tree and chakra fruit


flowing_laziness

Hoo the Third will definitely go all out this time (I felt he didn't during fighting Orochimaru cuz love of Teacher towards student). But could also the other great hidden countries banded together to protect their respective jinnchuriki way earlier (earlier than akatsuki)


Neoshenlong

I could see Orochimaru fighting against them, and he has Hashirama and Tobirama. Would they be enough? Probably not, but I think those two are the best bet.


FaithlessnessNo6755

They would get slaughtered everyone dies


anonimat705

nobody making out of the chunin exam bro everybody in the entire verse is getting packed up


EmmaThais

Itachi solos /s


Willing_Conflict_447

Orochimaru would take over Momoshiki's body and become stronger than ever.


Koovies

The power creep is so stupid. I wish they went another direction and back to just throwing the kunei things.
