It's hardly irrelevant. The Kyuubi saving Naruto once during VotE doesn't change that it was fully willing to allow Naruto to be killed various other times. And it warning Sasuke that he would regret killing Naruto is hardly the protective act you seem to think it is. It's obvious that the Kyuubi wouldn't want to be around under the command of a person similar to Madara. It doesn't matter if we don't know the full details of revival. The fact remains that we know that a Bijuu can't really die, but would eventually be reborn within the world.
Um, you can see multiple sfx telling us that the clones are disappearing. And I'm not ignoring what was in the series, I'm the one using what we were told by the characters themselves to prove he lacks control. As pointed out many times, being conscious and aware does not imply control. If it was only above three tails, then neither Jiraiya nor Naruto would have any reason to fear the usage of the lower cloaked forms. Why is it, if Naruto had control, did he never willingly choose to use said modes in battle? The entire point of his training with Kirabi was to show that until Naruto got rid of the hatred in his heart, he wouldn't be able to use the Kyuubi's chakra without the Kyuubi's will taking hold.
First off, Kabuto could obviously move beforehand otherwise he wouldn't have been able to heal himself. Secondly, healing only means he would want to fight at his best, not that he couldn't fight at all. We seen both Sakura and Tsunade do likewise in the middle of battle, without any critical injuries holding them back. Thirdly, Sasuke has taken similar assaults and kept on fighting. It would not take him out of the battle.
They can be compared, because if one is fast enough to keep away while being chased, then one is likely fast enough to get close and land a hit before a counterattack could be used. By that logic, any hit from the cloaked Naruto would be doing major damage and we know they don't, even in his current state.
Um, no, that's not how it works. There can't be more chakra in a single tail then any other tail. And it's was made clear there wasn't a major difference between the Kyuubi and Hachibi. We even saw the Hachibi take a Bijuu Blast from the Kyuubi without much trouble. The Secondary cloak is just the chakra densely packed.
Of course he anticipated it. The entire reason for him loosing the seal was because of the problem with control. How would that even work? Jiraiya intends to help Naruto gain control of an uncontrolled power, but doesn't expect said power to be uncontrolled... How is it that I'm the one who said to be putting down people? And where is this idea that manipulating the seal requires detaining the Kyuubi or time? We outright saw that touching the seal requires merely a moment. All that would be needed is enough speed. And isn't this a double standard? You claim that a hit from cloaked Naruto is too much for a regular person, yet we know a hit is survival as Jiraiya survived. If you believe that Jiraiya took said hit without any preparation beforehand, then what's preventing Sasuke from taking a hit and being able to act afterward?
Basic seal? Minato's seal was quite complex, as said by several characters. The entire purpose of that situation was to return Naruto back from the brink of death that would come with releasing the Kyuubi. You think he wouldn't have prepared completely for this situation that he obviously expected? Again, how is it I'm the one "putting people down"?
Actually no, we've seen the secondary cloak block various attacks, so we know it's at the very least quite defensive. Nothing of the sort was shown with the initial cloak, which was instead shown needing an extra shield to defend with. Sasuke has plenty of tools to employ that would allow him to attack without needing to be close. And it's been shown that it can be dodged at a range, so even without foresight, that wouldn't prevent Sasuke from avoiding it.
Why would Naruto's eyes been shown whited out if he wasn't being controlled? Why would the Kyuubi be commanding his actions if Naruto was the one acting? Why would we no longer see any thoughts from Naruto? That was much different then what happen with Kushina, where Naruto was still thinking of the despair.
Sarutobi stated that he was taking Orochimaru's ninjutsu, so it fits with all that we've seen. Regardless, the series make it clear that Orochimaru ahd lost their usage and was weakened. And neither Kabuto nor Juugo, who's Senjutsu Orochimaru based his off of, need to do so. Nor does it change the fact itself that Orochimaru can use Senjutsu chakra. It doesn't matter how he does it, he still has it available to him here.
Um, The Bijuus exist that way. Dan was nothing but chakra and a soul when he saved Tsunade. Shadow Clones too. Orochimaru went away before the Cursed Seal on Sasuke went away. And we currently are seeing Orochimaru in said state.
Kirabi kept up with cloaked Naruto the entire night and during the battles with Edo Nagato and Edo Itachi. He also outsped and rescued cloaked Naruto during the battle with Tobi. Growing a tentacle would factor from his reactionary ability. We're not talking about his goal, we're talking about how he did in battle. And they all fought mainly alone before joining up. I guess by your logic, Jiraiya had completely failed against Pain. Oh, and Minato completely failed against Tobi. And it looks like Naruto is completely failing against Tobi too. Sasuke did just as good as Kisame did on his own, so what's the difference.
Aside from that one time during the battle at VotE, all the attacks from cloaked Naruto have been a forward and straight assault. Five meters is far for what we're talking about. And we've seen his fire techniques go plenty fast. The arm branched from another one that had stopped and proceeded to replace it. That's much different then "five arms going after someone".
Yes, it does matter since Orochimaru existing in another person is the same damn thing that was gonna happen to Sasuke. And Jiraiya took a blow from Tsunade and didn't instantly die, despite being an ordinary human.
These "crap" Jinchuuriki as you call them were able to overwhelm Naruto in his current state. So how "crappy" can they be if they can handle Naruto?
And how does that change the argument about a direct shot? We're you the one arguing that an indirect shot doesn't matter. The point is that instead of shooting upward, Sasuke could have used them beforehand when Itachi was more vulnerable.
If Sasuke is limited to what was shown in the series, then so is everyone else. Again, lifting his arm shows he could block. It had nothing to do with speed, it was Naruto's greater physical power that got thru.
Minato has reflexes like Ee, above a normal person. But predicting the future does not make one faster. It's been shown several times that just because he can see the future, doesn't mean he would be able to do anything. He still has to be as fast in order to physically move fast enough to matter. In addition to that, Sasuke has been praised as being fast by multiple characters. There is not any sort of evidence to support the idea that Sasuke isn't fast. Everything implies the opposite.
Blurry vision that begins to clear up is not what one can call half-blind. The same thing happen to Sasuke when he used his MS, yet Sasuke wasn't near blindness til well later. And there was nothing said about Itachi not being able to continue living had he not kept using pills. Tobi states that the fight with Sasuke is what caused him to die, not that he would have died regardless.
I comprehended what you meant, which still makes no sense. The amount of chakra that Naruto can throw out would still be far more then what Sakura and Chiyo would be able to throw out. Chakra control means nothing when he throws a mass of it around, as we have seen. Breaking out of an A-rank genjutsu is fully comparable. It's not as if we're talking about a Sharingan-based genjutsu here. And Sasuke has shown a genjutsu like Tsukuyomi. The only difference is that Itachi can control time within his, while Sasuke can't. Why would Danzo and Tobi remark on that fact if what Sasuke was using wasn't Tsukuyomi? It would be completely logical that some lesser genjutsu wouldn't have the same ability as something as powerful as Tsukuyomi.
Sasuke used the same genjutsu as Itachi, which was shown paralyzing Orochimaru's real body too. If he had any precautions, then he wouldn't have been caught in the first place.
What about that performance was weak? You like to make such a big deal about how much more powerful you think the Kyuubi is, then stopping the Bijuu Blast would be a real feat, now wouldn't it? There has been no indication that Naruto would be able to force Sasuke out, especially when Sasuke could take him down with a single look. We can presume that Sasuke can stop more since his ability to stop the Kyuubi was directly attributed to the Sharingan's ability to control the Kyuubi and we know for a fact that there is no limit to it's control.
Yamato suppressing the Kyuubi's will would be cancelling the damaging effect, since that's what causes the damage in the first place.
You do realize that a "statue" would be nothing moving at all. Sasuke blocking him shows that the speed wasn't different. Heck, if Sasuke was so slow, then even the addition of a third tomoe wouldn't have allowed him to move.
Um, no. The wood clones are still wooden. We saw them with wood still sticking out and such. Having brains and such meaning nothing as we've seen merely having chakra is enough for that.
What feats? Cracking Susanoo? That doesn't change that we're talking about damage to non-living vs damage to living. A slight difference in strength doesn't change how dangerous the hits would be to a living target.
