So I see all these kids tout and spout that their power is equal to, or even more daring, sometimes greater, than Kage-level. But what does this mean?
I just want a bit of input on what exactly denotes "Kage-level power/chakra" and what exactly the claim alludes to. Are they alluding to being as powerful as the current canon kage in the series (Tsunade, Mei, Gaara, A and Onoki)? Or are they saying that they're just as skilled, powerful and have just as much chakra as current and near-recent SL Kage?
Here's my input on this.
If they're claiming the first, then they're not really "kage-level" since we've already past the point that nearly all of the current SL kage are past the level of the canon five kage. We're actually around or just above Madara and Hashirama level. If they're claiming the latter, then it's just laughable that someone would even suggest so.
http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/KageJust go through each of their bios. There are barely any others who can amount to what they can do, except for probably their recent predecessors. And even those guys were pretty strong enough.
Or maybe this is just everyone trying to compare themselves to me, because then I would have the bittersweet feeling of being flattered and disgusted. Flattgusted.
