Nope, it's actually not saying that at all. "Literally" or otherwise.
Ironically, what you've made here is an actual strawman.
No one, at any point in this thread, has argued otherwise. This is completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. If you'd like to try and defend yourself, then:
My argument is that Sakura never hit him for real like she was hitting an enemy. It was a gag, which is why it happened so much and never in combat and he was just fine after she'd hit him,, but could get injured from lesser stuff. Otherwise its canon that Himawari ko'd the most powerful Hokage in history for an entire day and wasn't even at Genin level when she unlocked her Byakugan.
it is canon, the Byakugan is literally called the deadliest technique in the village.
I think literally every named user who isn’t a child has a one finger poke kill in the main story. The fact she hit a vital area on Naruto and he didn’t die is a feat for Naruto. I mean keep in mind Rock Lee from the Chunin exam had NEVER beat Neji because Neji only needed one blow to decisively win.
If Himawari hit Sasuke unaware she probably would kill him. If you don’t block gentle fist attacks and you don’t have the 9 tails healing factor no one has survived.
Izanagi
Mangekyo Sharingan
Killin
Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique
There's plenty that are far more deadly, the Byakugan just lets you see Chakra Points directly and all the other things that come with it.
There's no evidence she hit a vital point, just that she used a "Gentle Fist" technique that according to Hinata, "completely drained" Naruto. Because she wasn't even aiming for Naruto, she was aiming for Boruto, so that means she didn't hit the target she was shooting for. It honestly looked like she just punched him in the d*ck. But, he was completely prepared as he could see she had activated her powers when she walks into the hallway. He even goes "Byakugan?!" before rushing over and taking the punch for Boruto.
2:45
It's obvious the entire scene was a gag, as Himawari even has a spooky demon face when Boruto is hiding from her in the attic. Just like everytime Sakura hit him, it was a gag. You not liking the fact doesn't make it less of a fact.
As for Lee, he couldn't win against Neji because he was the only Leaf ninja who couldn't actually use his chakra outside of the gates, so he had literally 0% defense against a Byakugan user.
Your argument is literally like saying a bullet to the brain is less deadly if you didn’t mean to hit someone.
Literally none of the other techniques you named kill as fast as Gentle Fist, hell most people don’t survive a single blow as we have seen single touches kill jounin. It is literally a one shot kill if you land the blow. This is explained multiple times by Neji attempting to hit Hinata’s brain and heart.
This isn’t a low feat for Naruto, if anything it is pretty crazy that he survives what most cannot. Gentle Fist is the most hax ability in Naruto because unless you have some sort of plot armor, it bypasses physical defense and shuts off your life energy.
He jumped off, but was caught in the blast still. Kinda different magnitudes and he wasn’t fine, he nearly died from it and later when he was forced to carry a child it exhausted him to the point he nearly died again. Zuko is obviously not that weak at his peak.
He is capable of bending iron with his fists and leaping a bit above his own height. He is generally physically like American comic book “peak human” imho.
(Obviously using bending he can do other things outside that range like using his fire to propel himself or using heat to melt steel to move with his hands. )
He only struggled in the north pole with aang because there was a blizzard and he literally got done swimming under the entire city and dueling katara at night. I don't believe the ship did any more than some scratches and bruises
By tanking do you mean being able to unscrew a few bolts? I'm not saying it was his physical peak, but he beat katara at dawn and the gaang didn't find him till the moon was high in the sky. Struggling to carry aang might have just been because he was sleepy
