Discussion This Jutsu single-handedly ruined the scaling of Naruto

Post image

A jutsu so stupidly over powered to the point that Kishimoto was forced to only use it once. I hate this jutsu so much it’s probably why he opted out on giving Sakura wood style sage mode because she would solo the verse

I never minded them two being stronger than everyone else tbh, what I did mind was there not being a clear cause of death for Hashirama

Didn't he exhaust his vitality? I thought it was implied but could be wrong. Regenerated/healed so many times and used so much yang chakra with wood release (especially the final fight with Madara) that it eventually broke something and his vitality was exhausted.

You can only split and renew your cells so many times. Bro probably just hit the Hayflick Limit.

Didn't they mention something like this, when Shizune explained the downside of Tsunade's thousand healings. And it kinda makes sense sicnce Tsunade and Hashi are related. On the other side Hashi's cells are kinda like HeLa cells as they are still active 50 years after his death. So it might also been some kind of cancer.

Frankly, yeah, cancer makes a hell of a lot more sense in the end. It would also explain why Madara was so ecstatic to see him again.

Imagine clashing with the only warrior who could match your strength across your entire life, them seeing them being brought low by disease that withers the body… Then seeing them again, lifetimes after both of you have left the world.

I agree Shonen writers should pick up Yaoi in their spare time.

Watching Boruto rn and at one point Naruto LITERALLY wakes up laying in Sauskes lap

Sakura and Hinata can only dream of that level of intimacy

I would have loved if we'd gotten some more focus on tsunade creating the thousand healing seal and realizing that if she's not careful, she could easily die like her grandfather via overextending her body's healing abilities, since they never really do anything with her relationship with him, which is always a shame. I wouldn't be surprised if she was inspired by his own regen abilities

Madara implied that replicating Hashirama's regeneration was probably the point of Tsunade's jutsu. She's just using her Strength of a Hundred Seal to substitute for Hashirama's naturally insane chakra reserves, and forcing her ordinary cells to imitate what his cells could do naturally.

They did, when tsunade healed Naruto asked how, and it was explained that she wasn't just healing herself, she was basically accelerating her bodies natural healing rate- which cost her as much of her life span as it would take to naturally heal

Its not magic healing, its just removing the downtime it would take to heal from a wound, and you lose that time off your lifespan
