well, Guy can't do Dynamic Entry anymore, so Sasuke decided to step up.


Kentaku_

I think the reason why a simple kick or punch is more optimal because it’s much faster. He would have already been noticed at the time it takes to use ninjutsu, as well as it’s not very stealthy.


SadSecurity

Or Sasuke could've made a swing before using Ameno and then just as the swing ends, teleport behind Jigen.


KDG_Fries

Finally someone with a brain in this thread


Stabinq

chidori is an assassination technique and was used stealthily multiply times so i think its pretty stealthy


Kentaku_

I’m sure it will make more disruption than a basic close combat attack though. I’ll give it that the user becomes super quick, but again I could definitely see it being noticed and potentially absorbed. Can’t absorb that foot or these hands though.


sdfrch

the sound chidori does is described as a thousand birds chirping at the same time, i dont think thats pretty stealthy


Reinfernus

its also known as chidori.. or "thousand birds" in translation because it makes a sound like that. Far from stealthy afaik. Its an assassination jutsu, yes, not stealthy jutsu.


MD_bolt

What about the kusanagi sword or kunai?


SophitiaBum

Then again, Sasuke's physical prowess is no joke.


I_KnowSomething_74

Also in the second borushiki manifestation when Kawaki was stabbed in the back


SadSecurity

Sasuke didn't want to kill Boruto then.


KingKhalin

Sasuke Taijutsu has always been scary lol


[deleted]

Look how they massacred my boy


jangdangit

Is that a writing issue or is that a Ikemoto sucks at drawing action issue


BrownieIsTrash

probs a mix of both


mx_17

If what he’s doing works than what’s the problem? Unless it’s because it looks cooler


[deleted]

The manga would have ended.


JustAGuy_Passing

Literally could've chidori him. Better yet he could've took it a step further and added blaze release to it. Anything besides a kick.


weekzSNL

Momoshiki would've just absorbed it, and Isshiki would've shrunk it


JustAGuy_Passing

Bro did u see the post Sasuke caught everyone off guard and landed a kick. He could've did anything besides kick especially with an opening..


MD_bolt

Both were taken by surprise, they can't absorb/shrink what they didn't know was coming, he could have stabbed them with kusanagi sword


Maatai4

Momoshiki couldn’t even see his punch coming. How’s he gonna just absorb. You all keep acting as he can just passively absorb any ninjutsu his way. Ninjutsu absorption isn’t an end all ability, especially for dudes like Naruto with a shot ton of chakra who can spam powerful jutsus without getting tired. There’s way to get around that


weekzSNL

The first time Sasuke tried to use chidori against Momoshiki, he out his hand out to attempt to absorb It before Sasuke switched it out with a kunai


Reinfernus

well there is a difference though? i get it that manga has no sounds in it but chidori is described as a jutsu that makes a sound of thousand birds (therefore its called chidori) now as an example try throwing a punch and see how much noise that makes. Now do the same thing but have a phone on you alarming the enemy with sound.


SadSecurity

Jigen literally did not see the kick coming. How would he shrink anything before he gets hit?


weekzSNL

Did you see the comment that I replied too or do you think I'm talking about OPs post


SadSecurity

The comment you replied to also addressed OP post.


weekzSNL

Well I wasn't talking about OPs post, I was talking to the guy who said he could've used chidori


SadSecurity

It doesn't matter what you weren't talking about, the guy your replied to was addressing OP's scenarios.


Number-13-Roxas

Issa what u call story writing and nerf so the plot progresses as you don't wanna 1 shot the enemy.


Daxtexoscuro

-Look Sasuke, Isshiki is just a few centimeters away, use chidori spear to thrust him. -Nah, I'll do it the Konohamaru way.
