[quote=Durnehviir] Kakashi was almost Hokage a few times after the whole Danzo thing. And no. Konohamaru's incomplete Rasengan isn't really a good comparison as he, a Genin, couldn't completely use a higher level technique. I mean, using that, it should be proof that Genin typically can't cast high level techniques like that without years of training (as that was 2 years later and he made that small Rasengan). As for defeating a Pain clone, I mean, as a Genin Naruto beat loads of high level Ninja in the series. Just takes a little spam. Also, again, Sasuke has the Sharingan. He has the potential to learn just about any technique that he's elementally compatible with. Sasuke is also considered a genius too. Is your character an exceptional genius? [/quote] But Danzo came way after the Kakashi teaching Sasuke chidori thing O.o Yeah, but none of those enemies could compare to Pein. Pein by far, was probably the strongest Naruto villain aside from Madara and 'Tobi'. Yeah, he does have the Sharingan. But was it ever stated that he used that to help him learn? I just always thought he physically trained for it, been about a year or two since I've watched part 1 though. And no, no he isn't owo
