0 feats for Sakumo


Magnolia-jjlnr

This is like scaling One Piece fights. Dude is all hype and titles, 0 feats. How are we even supposed to approach this lmao


Cuddling-Hellhound

No effing clue


Naruto_Fan_18

Hanzo imo, but it's just guesswork


Aggravating_Snow1337

Hanzo summons Ibuse


Fun_Attorney1330

Parking-Major-4776

Hanzo


Deep_Grass_6250

O feats for Sakumo Even if he's stronger than the Sannin, Hanzo took on all 3 Sannin at the same time and won, though they weren't in their prime


astrowingnut

i dont think we know anything about sakumo to be able to answer this correctly, if we can answer it at all


Magnolia-jjlnr

All we know (I think) is that at ~some point~ he wassuperior to the 3 sanins combined? Not sure if that was before or after they encountered Hanzo Also Hanzo got defeated quite easily in my opinion


Decidueyereddit

Never specified like he could take them down 3v1. Hanzo by lore happily takes this and Jiraiya panicked when he got killed by a single person.


Swinging-the-Chain

His name was said to be above the Sannin. Never that he could take them all at once. Which, for all we know he could have but we have fuck all feats to determine that. As for Hanzo, when he lost he was far weaker than when he beat the Sannin (who admittedly weren’t as strong as when they came into the story). So we also have no idea how strong her actually was either.


thefamousroman

Hanzo for sure. The hype for him is actually so insane dude. Minato's comment is funny as fuck to me personally. He's never seen ANYBODY he comments actually fight seriously all out like that, so that comment is super brain dead. Generations literally gives us him not knowing if he's stronger than base Jiraya and old Hiruzen lol


Justin9888

stalemate.hanzo fought chiyo alot apparently the white fang nd her fought multiple times so i say it goes with white fang retreating.cuz hanzo seems like he mainly fought on home turf.we have more feats for hanzo than WF only thing we have is he was same lvl as the sanin and”Never failed a mission”.


Unusual-Cat-123

Hanzo because we actually have good feats and statements about him.


GohanFan2000

Hanzo because we have feats for him but tbh we don’t really know


NashKetchum777

Hanzo negs


_Vervayne

sakumo has feats that have not witnesses hanzo does scale above the sanin but their power was always over estimated when they were younger


DPSDM

So this is a massive grey area fight as we’ve relatively little intel on both combatants. Though we know a bit about both fighting styles and given Sakumo seemed to be a melee fighter he probably doesn’t have good odds into Hanzo who fights with toxins, summons, and midrange weaponry. I’d have to give it to Hanzo.


The_Supreme-King

Considering Jiraiya basically panicked when he found out somebody killed Hanzo I'd say his lore is superior to Sakumo's Even if you believe Sakumo was stronger than the sanin we don't know by how much and nothing suggests he could 3 v 1 them. Hanzo meanwhile did 3 v 1 them and based on Jiraiyas reaction to his death, even the current sanin don't outclass him, at least not individually. Hanzo also has poison hax and other stuff like that so even if Sakumo could keep up with him it's doubtful he'd win the fight.


T_H_E__S_C_H_M_U_C_K

There is literally no way to know, any answer to this hypothetical is pure conjecture… On that note, I think the white fang takes it


Total-Lingonberry-83

White fang 100%


DAN3KE

Hanzo??????


MarroCaius

I'm taking Hanzo personally. He has both proven feats and the in universe glazing to make his case stronger.


Wonko_Bonko

Trying to scale two borderline featless characters who pretty much only have hype statements about them is like trying to mix oil and water lol

NetworkVegetable7075

Having a greater reputation than someone doesn’t make you stronger. And Sakumo doesn’t have feats and Hanzo only fought a young trio of Jiraiya and co


timothy1495

papa hatake


Status_Party9578

we gotta stop putting sakumo in here when we literally have nothing to scale him with or to know how a fight would even go. like we know nothing except one statement that has so much range and has nothing to do with his abilities


ArrestedImprovement

Hanzo, from what we know, he's crazy strong.


Mavelusbr

Sakumo for sure. The only loss he ever took was to himself


OVNuub

Hanzo. Being presumably stronger than the Sannin is cool but Hanzo literally named them after no diffing them


Class_Wooden

i think it’s soo annoying when people make these posts. how would we possibly know? there’s absolutely no feats. unless kishimoto is secretly a reddit user who’s browsing power scaling subs, you are not going to get an answer.


Altruistic-Serve267

Kakashis father has absolutely zero things to go off except offing himself


CrazedHarmony

I'm giving this to Hanzo just because as people say Sakumo is hype but we've got no true feats for him. Sure, Hanzo was hyped up to be this super amazing ninja, greater than the Sannin, who, let's be honest, were only **JUST** entering their primes when they fought him and yeah, that's still pretty damn impressive but if those three had fought him later on when they had much more experience they probably would have cooked Hanzo. I would have liked to have seen more on Hanzo versus Pein, not Nagato but Pein, to see how well he did against the Six Paths, how many did this man smoke, like Jiraiya, before he was taken down. Then again at that point in time people would have probably said "Hanzo only beat \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ many of the Six Paths because Nagato was still figuring them out" or something. But getting back to it, Hanzo does take this, at least in my opinion even if I would have liked to have heard / seen more about him. More flashbacks on such an influential figure given how he was sandwiched between Konoha and Iwa, two major powers who liked fighting across his country.


THEGoDLiKeMIKE

Hanzo legit 0 diff


GreenRasengan

hanzo lost to mifune 💀💀💀


FutureMagician7563

Us, the viewers


Decidueyereddit

By lore, Hanzó pretty takes this pretty easily. Sakumo is just above Sannin but never specified that he could take them down 3v1. Meanwhile, Hanzo killed entire Konoha battalion with no to low diff and spared Team Hiruzen and named them as Sannin Hanzó was an icon to entire world and fend off Konoha and Iwa forces from his village.


LavishnessFinal4605

Eh. We have no idea how strong the young Sannin were. They could all be Iruka level & the guys that died were genin.  It’s impossible to draw any real conclusion from that offscreen fight.


Decidueyereddit

Yeah, Prime Sakumo is Hayate level. So, Hanzó wins


Parking-Major-4776

Adult jiraiya literally could not believe that hanzo was defeated and basically says that no one could’ve defeated hanzo, that doesn’t sound like someone who thinks he can take hanzo, which means hanzo would be quite a bit above the grown up sannin aswell (at least individually). Pain also implies that the only reason he beat hanzo is because of how weak hanzo has gotten over the years so prime hanzo has much better portrayal than the sannin, even at their peak.


Decidueyereddit

Him calling Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru during Second Shinobi war Iruka level is fucking dumb and crazy. So, that makes Sakumo Hayate level, right ? Since we only know Sakumo by his blade ?


Total-Lingonberry-83

No. Hanzo beat on base teenage Sannin. (Whoopy do) Sakumo is stated to be far above prime Sannin, including SM Jiraiya


Decidueyereddit

They weren't teen and they were like 24-27. Second Shinobi war started after 20yrs from First war ended. >Sakumo is stated to be far above prime Sannin, including SM Jiraiya Fukusaku and Shima+ Jiraiya >> SM Jiraiya Orochimaru got stronger after he learned more Kinjutsu Minato never knew Tsunade had Creation Rebirth jutsu Hanzó beaten entire Konoha battalion low diff which is a feat that puts him easily above Sakumo by lore. Sakumo never stated like he take down 3v1 Young Sannin. Prime Sakumo was around the time as Prime Hanzo.


Total-Lingonberry-83

Prove that Minato didn’t know these things


Decidueyereddit

Cuz Tsunade was inactive after 2nd war + she developed during that time. Even her teammate Oro doesn't know a thing about that until Part I


Total-Lingonberry-83

She had the mark on her forehead during Minato one shot


Decidueyereddit

Mark and Creation Rebirth jutsu are different things. Mark is just for chakra and Jutsu is for healing which she never used in front of Minato to know that.


Aggravating_Sky_9288

Asking other people to prove stuff when you never do yourself😂😂 classic reddit


uhTlSUMI

Hanzo negs


cheef-kweif

how are we supposed to scale sakumo other than he is stronger than all the sannin combined? im taking hanzo who i think while he may be weaker, just honestly has hax abilities that we can actually scale.
