this keeps the others ones nicely aligned


The "Yellow Flash" and Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure is lionized as the hero who saved the village from the Kyūbi no Yōko. Noted by his sensei, Jiraiya, as the most gifted shinobi ever produced by their village, he is highly skilled as a shinobi. He possesses remarkable agility, chakra capacity, and intelligence. His prowess with space-time ninjutsu is such that he can create space-time barriers and teleport foes as immense as the Kyūbi. Proficient in fūinjutsu, he can summon toads like his sensei and can detect the presence of others by placing his finger on the ground like the Second Hokage. His most notable jutsu creations are the Rasengan, Hiraishin, and Shiki Fūjin.

Highly skilled jounin from Kumogakure, he is the inheritor of the Black Lightning techniques and possessor of the Storm element bloodline limit. His skills landed him near the current Raikage, and he became one of his most trusted men, often referred to as the Raikage's right arm, and later on he commands an entire division as general in the 4th Great Shinobi World War.

Cast your vote and discuss (logically) why you voted for who you voted for. Have fun, but keep it clean!

[M3J]

No need to vote here since others will. Minato will win because he has the reflexes to do so. Plus, he can throw three kunai close to Darui and use Hiraishin and cut his throat off. One or two-shot hit ftw?

[KnuckleheadedNinja]

This ain't even a match, Minato wins without much effort. Darui is my favorite Nin from Kumo, but he would get demolish against Minato.

Minato vs Nagato cannot come fast enough. He is the only Ninja in this tournament that i think can beat Minato, since the new Madara with the Rinnegan and new six path of pain isn't consider in the tournament.

[EMS]

Minato win,Darui is a strong shinobi but not more powerful than raikage which make it easy to see that minato will defeat darui if A couldn't hit minato with his armor, darui doesn't stand a chance with minato's Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique).

[lordHokage]

This match is over already, all I saw was a flash. Now I see way they called Minato Namikaze, Konoha's Yellow Flash. Poor Darui. :D

[Ero-Sanji]

Damn, I wanted to see Darui vs Kakashi!
It's funny how probably Nagato, Minato and Madara are going to steamroll themselves into the semi-finals.

Anyway, seeing as how Darui is more on par with Kakashi and most definitely weaker than A I can't see how he's supposed to do this. Minato is just too good.

[NAM61]

minato should win this easy with his speed and reflexes he can dodge any of daruis attacks

[lordHokage]

Minato vs Nagato cannot come fast enough. He is the only Ninja in this tournament that i think can beat Minato, since the new Madara with the Rinnegan and new six path of pain isn't consider in the tournament.

I don't think Nagato can beat Minato. Like father like son, I think Minato was a Sage. The only person who's capable of beating Minato and winning Naruto Tournament is Hashirama. Minato vs. Darui is a joke. :D

[xXan]

Oh God not Hashirama again.. If that dude beat Minato to i am going to asume the mojority of people here don't even read the rules(as that is the only way Hashirama can beat Minato and that was the only way he won vs Bee and Orochimaru) . Minato a sage? Evidence or its irrelevant. Also Naruto never won vs Pein. In a fair fight vs Pein Naruto would get DESTROYED. Naruto+JMan+the entire village of Konoha (inluding Kakasi Tsunade etc) + Deva on cooldown+ Nagato wanted to just capture Naruto and not kill him (as if he wanted him dead he would have died fast) + 2 elder frogs + 3 HUGE summons + tons of information on Pein + Minato showing up in Naruto's head + the Kyuubi saving his but = WON over Pein (yes that entire list was needed to win vs Pein).

[jorped]

This is what i am going to say for this battle :oh

I think that the doubts here is if Darui is going to get any vote :p

[juUnior]

Minato.


I think that the doubts here is if Darui is going to get any vote :p
There will be always someone who votes for the other fighter even if its a match sth like this one <going by previous fights> But maybe this time.. finally.. there will be a fight which one fighter wins with some votes to zero, haha :p

[Lelo]

Darui takes this........... HAHAHA Just saying Darui wins makes me laugh

My main man takes this. Minato

[EMS]

there is not way that darui could defeat minato even the raikage couldn't keep up with minato Hiraishin no Jutsu and almost got kill bee and himself. besides minato's Hiraishin no Jutsu, minato has stragedy and brain to plan how to counterattack and he runned madara plan and seal part of the kyuubi in naruto, he did what just one ninja could..

[Rikudou Sennin]

Darui has no chance in hell. Darui is super cool, best Kumo Ninja for sure (popularity wise) but there is no way to win against Minato.

Minato will win this tournament after all.

[zerocooldx]

All Minato fights should be skipped. He isn't going to lose to anyone. Just put him in the finals already.

[Marshmallow-sama]

What a dull battle. I just want to pick Darui, so he can have at least one vote. lol I'll just pick him. Not gonna make a difference XD

[licentious1]

I predict this will be one of the most lopsided victories in the tournament. Minato gets an easy win.

[kakashidad]

Oh wll,bye bye the ''black kakashi which is DARUI...you were simply overmatched in every way.
MINATO WIN...a flawless victory too i might add.

[EMS]

At least darui had one vote from @marshmallow-sama O0:drmkebut minato got this fight in since the begginning.:rawyondaime

[mattiaildivino]

it's the easiest match for minato I guess.at least in this fight he can save energy for his next match: against nagato!

This is what i am going to say for this battle :oh

I think that the doubts here is if Darui is going to get any vote :p
ahahah you are right,but there is always those who vote the weakest to weaken the strongest ;)

[Wisshard]

^Since the outcome is given, considering the clear difference in their abilities and hype, I'll take it upon myself to give Darui a consolation vote.

[jdw]

Darui thanks you all from the bottom of his heart!

[EMS]

:rawyondaimevotes:93 Minato:91 Darui:2:kkanbuO0


Thank you @marshmallow-sama & @Wisshard for supporting darui at his last moments.:ck

does anybody knows who will be minato next opponet?..jiraya?.

[jdw]

If he takes the W against Darui, Minato's next opponent will be Nagato or Tsunade.

[EMS]

that's going to be agood fight, minato vs nagato. that will be a tough fight..

[mattiaildivino]

guys,I wonder if everyone of us is voting darui,thinking that all other ahve voted minato. please don't vote him because of his weakness,maybe your votes will make minato lose.

[hakuthehedgehog]

guys,I wonder if everyone of us is voting darui,thinking that all other ahve voted minato. please don't vote him because of his weakness,maybe your votes will make minato lose.

I'd lol if lots of people voted for Darui out of pity and he ended up winning, that'd be amazing.

[mattiaildivino]

I'd lol if lots of people voted for Darui out of pity and he ended up winning, that'd be amazing.

in this case,the moderators should not care about votes and let minato go on,because he does win this fight.

[jdw]

The votes should play out. If people believe Darui can win, screw it. They have a right to their vote, and upsets can happen. If we ask for it to be manipulated, there is not really a tournament, we can just let the mods select the winner on their own and that will be the MH Shinobi King.

[DementedKirby]

This is about as one-sided as the clip from Robot Chicken (The World's Most One Sided Fistfights Caught On Film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKFGUO-24DU)). As lordHokage so eloquently and efficiently put it: "This match is over already, all I saw was a flash." I concur!

but it would be an error,because everyone of us knows it. minato defeated even A,supposed to be the strongest of the world,and A is infintely stronger than darui. no matter how many people vote darui,if I were a moderator,I wouldn't care.because those who have voted him admitted they did it out of pity,but they know minato is stronger.

[benelori]

No spamfest please

It would be weird for me to see Darui defeat Minato, but I'd accept it if the vote goes that way. People have their opinions and voting exists for a reason. If we ask the mods to undo it, or they undo it on their own, the vote-based tournament is meaningless. In the end, it is a homemade tournament, not the manga.

[M3J]

The problem with that is, most who voted for Darui actually thought Minato would win. I voted for Darui as well, but I think Minato will win. It wouldn't be fair to Minato if he lost just because people jokingly voted for Darui even though they thought Minato would win. So far, the posts say Minato wins, so even if by some weird, humorous chances that Darui does win, IMO Minato should be considered the winner as the posts say Minato will win.

[jdw]

If we go by posting power alone, the Sasuke contingent wouldn't be in tears right now because they can outpost anyone, and did in Sasuke v. Jiraiya, and would likely argue that Jiraiya votes were just stubborn Sasuke protesters/haters, and ask for a reversal. It would open up a bunch of things for argument for no good reason.

[M3J]

If there were more posts saying Jiraiya would win but the vote go to Sasuke in polls for the lulz, then there'd still be crying. It's only fair that who people think would win wins rather than people choosing someone for the lulz. Either way, I'm sure Minato will still have the most votes at the end. And, there'd be no crying as almost everyone thinks Minato would win anyway.

[EMS]

;bash:spankplease people not more pity post for darui, the dead line July 07, 2011 at 01:09 PM,it will be bad that darui will win for pity vote from us..we have each day more members voting for darui for pity..

[LnDRash]

If Darui doesn't want those pity votes anymore: Tsunade will gladly take them!

[Marshmallow-sama]

But I already gave my pity vote to Tsunade as well. D:

I'm pretty sure Minato is going to win even with our pity votes. lol Minato vs. Nagato or somebody is way cooler than Darui vs. Nagato. <-- I mean, that's just hardcore rape right there.

[Raizen]

I don't understand the concept of pity votes. This a tournament where you choose who would most likely win in a battle. The same as the bleach tournament.

So if you think Minato will win, then u choose Minato. If u think darui wins, then u choose darui.
But it makes no sense to choose darui if u think Minato will win. It defeats the purpose of this tournament

[Marshmallow-sama]

Because most people or at least me, like to participate in a tournament battle that doesn't have such an obvious outcome. This is basically a joke battle, which leads me to make a joke vote. Sorry if I offended you with my "joking". lol But really, this battle has a clear winner, so there's nothing to worry about. ;]

[DementedKirby]

Um, correct me if I'm wrong but people should discuss arguments as to why their choice would win, yet people are voting against it? Ridiculous. And it's not that I'm taking the tournament seriously, but the mods went through a lot of work on this. I'd be pissed.

[LnDRash]

Its like this:

You watch some realy realy shitty movie and you can't help but think "damn... wtf is this shit?? Its ridiculous..."

But after some time you have to start and laugh about just how shitty it is and you start to realize that its so shitty that it starts to be good again.

Basically this is the same phenomenon we have here: Darui is just so ridiculously outmatched it starts to amuse the people and they start cheering for him.
