I know. That's why I've hated A from that moment on. 😛

Doesn't change the fact that he'd be better with some.

Me. Or Gaara. I'd have a feeling Gaara would be able to reason more with Naruto than A.

Indeed. Too bad about that arm thing.

I think it's a good idea to use them on the more spoilery stuff for the first few hours.

Hm, here's a question- do we have any examples of other jinchuuriki having fast regen? It could be Kyuubi's 'power'.

Well...kinda. The white snake gave Sasuke decent regen so I figured it was pretty much the case for most hosts.

A's armor is weak. Finally proven. 😛

Spoiler:
You know, seeing A cry over his daddy makes me feel like I've been too harsh on the guy. Just a little though.

Sasuke needed to be smacked....sure looking back it was pretty darn stupid but the Uchiha was asking for it.

Gaara would be a good choice.To bad he's with the squad up against Muu and the 2nd Mizukage....and his dad. Which makes me question Tsunade's usefulness in reasoning with her own ninja.

A's armor is more of a speed amp than a defensive tech. It still negated most of chidori's damage.

Why you gotta hate A....all he wants to do is beat up arrogant teenagers.

Why is A's armour weak?

Not at the cost of all is ninjutsu. And his good arm.

Well, Tsunade wants to use Bee and Naruto in the war. So it's not that she is useless for trying to keep Naruto in line, she just doesn't want to.

I only hate on A mostly because he isn't very intelligent and his technique is just a lightning version of Rock Lee.

Spoiler:
Bee fully breaks through using a normal lariat, no Hachibi chakra or lightning or anything. Pure taijutsu can connect with A while wearing it. In version 2 no less!

You call going down against Bee 'weak?'

lol.

Not calling Bee weak or anything but the dude doesn't have many strength feats iirc. His lariat while cloaked tore open Sasuke's chest and he didn't use that one here. Pure taijutsu. Which is not to say A isn't strong enough to tank most taijutsu attacks. But his armor itself does not protect him as well as originally thought. 😛

We saw nothing that really counts against the armor here (or for it for that matter). None of the attacks penetrated the armor, it may or may not be why he shrugged the first one. The last one, he got thrown back, but nothing got through.

Armor doesn't prevent you from getting thrown.

That's a healing technique made by an immortality obsessed ninja, as well as being un-biju related, so that doesn't tell us anything either.

It seems the death of the old Raikage is when A started to develop some problems.

The attacks do connect though. Meaning it's perfectly plausible that normal attacks like a kunai or a rasengan should be able to connect as well.

Not really so much as healing technique but an entity of some kind. Weird. I always assumed Hosts could heal more because of the additional amount of chakra within them.

I know. It actually is sad and something people can relate to.

That's an amazing feat for Bee. Kyuubi Naruto is no match for Raikage's strength, but base form Bee exceeds him. Base form Bee is stronger than Naruto in his most powerful form!

Bee is pretty awesome in this chapter. Managing to even the odds against Minato, and pwning A, all in the same chapter? Badass.

Yeah, in the last chapter, he also stopped a full force punch from the Raikage with his Hachibi arm. Nice durability feat for Bee too, to be able to take a Lariat from A and suffer next to no damage.

Though in A's defense, he was lariating with his weaker arm.

And then you take that away from his defense cause he lost his arm stupidly. 😛

Aura do not assume I did not read the ****ing chapter you little scrote.

That is indeed a great feat for Bee, Naruto just kept on getting beaten back easily by A in his strongest form, base Bee overpowered the Raikage. And there was obviously chakra behind it, it was made obvious that the Lariat always uses some amount of chakra.

You've read all the chapters. Still doesn't mean you wouldn't want to see proof if I claimed something.

Bee is badass like that.

Sure, about as much as any other strike. His 3 tails lariat tore open someone's chest. Here it appears significantly weaker.

It caused a crater, but A himself seemed unharmed.

A is tough like that. This is the guy that took a chidori like it was nothing after all.

Armour. 131

Edit: Unless you are saying that A is naturally that durable? If so, that just makes him look better.

Indeed, the armor made the chidori significantly weaker.

Only thing I know: Raikage can be touched through the armor. It may heighten his defenses but not to the point where a Base Bee can touch him and overpower him that much.

I would like to add to Bee surpassing A with a bit of a weird thing I just thought of:

Bee beat A in his base form while Naruto couldn't do anything in his strongest form. To add insult to injury Naruto, as of now anyway, is perhaps the strongest ninja in his village. Konoha must be seeing dark days now that Naruto is pretty much at the top of his village forces.
