Was Naruto and sasuke nerfed ?

Alright, during Boruto: Naruto next generations episode 204 titled “He’s bad new”, Naruto and sasuke both had to fight against jigen who seemed to be the leader of Kara at the moment.

The battle between to two strongest shonobi vs jigen was so epic that it went viral. So if you haven’t watched it, here’s a link to watch Boruto: Naruto next generations.

Many claims Naruto and sasuke who nerfed, well let’s analyse and concise the matter at hand.

Jigen abilities

First we’re looking on jigen abilities. Well as you can see jigen got am amp boost of chakra from juvenile ten tails before the battle. We know how immense tailed beast chakra is, so we can say jigen is 10 times stronger than his usual self .

Ability to shrink

Secondly, we are looking at his ability to shrink. This is s very disturbing jutsu, because he’s  able to shrink himself into a size of an ant. You can call him the ant man in this case. At this moment it seems that he disappeared but he didn’t. To top that he can also shrink stored items at his time space and summon then anytime he needs without anyone knowing. In this case he tends to use chakra rods which changes to its original size after coming in contact with his target.

Karma

The karma is just like the curse mark which grants the user extra ordinary strength in that aspect. The karma makes him possible to open portal to travel to other dimensions through time space and also gives him the ability to absorb any ninjutsu thrown at him.

Speed

Jigen speed is something that should be praise worthy of . Jigen was able to counter both Naruto and sasuke at their full speed throwing attacks on him .

  With such abilities, the odds of Naruto and sasuke coming out of the battle with a victory was very low since Naruto is used to close combat and a massive attack combo  which could be easily absorbed at ease. As for sasuke , his taijutsu wouldn’t help in this case neither with his strongest ninjutsu due to jigen ability to absorb ninjutsu.

 Naruto and sasuke being Nerfed

A lot of signs were showed during the battle between these two great shonobi against jigen first of let’s discuss sasuke being Nerfed

Sasuke nerfed ?

Yes of course sasuke was totally nerfed. in a battle like this one has to use his strongest moves in order to come out with the victory. Sasuke has alot of abilities based on his sharingan, Rinnegan and his ninjutsu. But we only saw sasuke using his speed, lightning release, Susanoo, amaterasu and ability to switch positions. What happened to the rest of his abilities? He’s combo attacks?

Sasuke rinnegan abilities

His rinnegan would had really helped if it was used to its full length. We all know the rinnegan can attract and repel. This would had helped in evading and attacking jigen .

Remember during sasuke and Naruto final battle, sasuke used both Rinnegan and sharingan abilities in as combo which was universal pull along side with inferno style: flame control . This combo was to attract Naruto and his clones and stab the! With his flames. This would had come in handy but it wasn’t use.

Then again the rinnegan is able to summon the hero status but that ability wasnt used either

What about the animal path which has to do with summoning of animals with rinnegan, their visions are linked that would had helped sasuke see jigen moves and be able to counter on time .

Also the rinnegan has the ability to absorb chakra. Jigen come in contact with sasuke many times why wasn’t that jutsu used?

And don’t forget the Susanoo which is claimed to have the strongest defence was mocked it’s attacks didn’t have any effects on jigen and it was easily penetrated like it was just nothing.

This totally proves sasuke was nerfed.

 

Naruto being Nerfed

We all know naruto is a god like shonobi with immense powers and abilities. But his battle against jigen made it seems he was just an average shonobi . Naruto was nerfed and these are the reasons

 

Naruto sage mode

Sage mode gives the user the ability to sense all chakra along side with immense strength and infinity chakra . Naruto wasn’t able to use the sage mode effectively. During the fourth great ninja warrior Naruto was able to sense everything going on on the battlefield from a long range distance but for some reason he couldn’t pinpoint jigen location on the same battlefield just because he reduced in size.

 

Naruto signature move

This has to do with his multi shadow clones . As you all know it’s he’s signature move which all clones attack at once but in this case, despite the amount of clones he made , they were all seen to be attacking individually or in group of 3 why? He was totally nerfed.

 

Infinite chakra

Naruto being and uzumaki, only his blood line alone has alot of chakra and chakra reserve.

In this case he has his own chakra, kurama chakra and sage chakra but we saw him in a State out of chakra. Did he exhaust all his chakra? Did kurama chakra get exhausted?, What happened to his sage mode and chakra? All were mocked . And remember he has the chakra of one nine tailed beasts, what happened to those chakra as well?

 

Naruto was more nerfed than sasuke due to his durability and immense chakra but still they were made as jigen punching bags.

Why did they both have to use their avatars full form when then can still use the avatars powers while in their normal size? As for sasuke he can form any part of the Susanoo at any part of his body and still combat same applies to Naruto based on his chakra arms and tails.

In conclusion Naruto and sasuke were Nerfed.
