My guesses for Naruto
Ninjutsu: 4 > 5
Taijutsu: 3.5 > 5
Genjutsu: 2 > 2.5
Intelligence: 3 > 3.5
Strength: 3.5 > 5
Speed: 3.5 > 5
Stamina: 5
Hand seals: 1.5 > 4.5
Total: 26 > 35.5

All in all, the same as Jiraiya.

To be fair, Naruto has some of the best chakra control feats in the entire series now that he has full control of Kurama, so he might have actually gotten 5/5 in that.

plus he lacks in taijutsu

Are you serious?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I don't think anyone would get the full 40 score tbh.
Sage Madara or Kaguya might. Madara is more likely as Kaguya was pretty reliant on Black Zetsu for a lot of her thinking, which might hurt her intelligence score a bit. Also, she was crazy, where Madara was cold and calculating.

I think relying on BZ was the smartest thing she did. She was sleeping for a thousand years, and didn't knew anything about the current world. Apparently from the data book it just said that she started to believe all the chakra in the world belong to her, so she wanted to take in all back from her own sons.

Kawazu Kumite was about using natural energy to enhance the range of your attacks. While Naruto is obviously a dangerous close combatant, and should have seen a noticeable bump on his Taijutsu rating, the rating itself, if I remember correctly, was based on form.

I wouldn't have expected him to have a 5 there just because of Kawazu Kumite. Stats didn't account for power-ups anyways.

Do the stats reflect the characters' strongest modes? Surely Naruto would have scored higher than 26 in the latest stats considering the could 4Tails.

I don't Madara is as smart as some might think he is. He was a genius and prodigy, sure, but Sasuke's potential is even greater and I don't think either of them would score 5/5 intelligence.

Speaking of Sasuke's stats, I'd score him
Ninjutsu: 5 > 5
Taijutsu: 3.5 > 5
Genjutsu: 4 > 5
Intelligence: 3.5 > 4
Strength: 3.5 > 4
Speed: 4 > 5
Stamina: 3.5 > 5
Hand seals: 4 > 4
Total: 31.5 > 37

He'd get a higher score than Naruto imo considering he's got that genjutsu buff.

Then again, characters we've never even seen use genjutsu and aren't even the type scored well in that regard, so perhaps, given how he is now effectively immune to genjutsu, in most cases anyway, perhaps Naruto would score higher than a 2.5 as well.

I think you have to be either Neji, Lee, or Gai level to get a perfect 5

Naruto wrecks all three.

Yes, including Eight Gates Gai.

Aliens.

Kaguya and her people are aliens.

Holy Shit.

Is there some galactic warfare happening that necessitated her to require an army?

Also, this means Chakra is an alien force?

There are probably other races out there in the universe doing Shinobi shit as well.

I didn't realize people thought the alien thing was a manga joke?? I always took that pretty seriously although Naruto's reaction was comical. She's Kaguya, the moon princess. Ever since Naruto spoke to the sage, it was kinda obvious she wasn't from their world and her character was following mythology closer than I originally thought. As weird as it feels, Naruto uses all kinds of plots from Japanese mythology, so I'm not too stunned.

I'm not too sure on this. That fruit still bloomed on ninja earth right, unless the seed came from someplace else. Haven't read through all the databook yet.

After reading the last chapters,

Does Naruto lose his tailed beast abilities, and his sage of the six path mode as well?

I don't think his power was necessarily confined to his right hand or the mark.

Ditto. I always had my suspicions when it came to the moon after the Sage of the Six Paths was expounded upon, and when Kaguya first mention I had my suspicions, which were strengthened when Hagoromo said his mother came from a distant land or whatever it was that he said.

Naruto has actually sparked my interest in Japanese mythology. I've read up a bit here and on Shintoism and other folklore. Because of that I (and most people that looked this up) knew Izanami was coming. I actually thought Itachi's crow was going to contain that power.

Eh, I doubt his Taijutsu or speed would be rated that much higher.

Stamina too, actually. The way he's been using his dōryoku since acquiring the Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan could be attributed more to acclimation, than more chakra to waste.

I remember back during the Pain arc I thought the Asura path and the stylings of Nagato's hideout were hints that the Sage of the Six Path's came from a futuristic alien world, hah.

If you're referring to the loss of his right arm, his power wasn't necessarily tied to that. The sun and moon seals that Hagoromo gave to Naruto and Sasuke apparently contained his Rikudō no Yo & In no Chikara, to be used for the express purpose of initiating his Rikudō Chibaku Tensei.

While the ability may have been awakened by Hagoromo, just like Sasuke's Rinnegan required the chakra of both Indra and Asura, the prerequisites for Naruto's Rikudō Senjutsu had already been established by having the chakra of all the Bijū within him.

Also, this means Chakra is an alien force?
The fourth Data Book points out that the Shinjū, which bore the chakra fruit that Kaguya had eaten, was born from all the blood that was being spilled by humanity, because of the constant conflict.

While this doesn't rule out the possibility of their being other sources of chakra, the immense chakra that caused Kaguya to be known as something of a Goddess was gained from that chakra fruit.

I'm going to honest here, Kishimoto should probably have spent some more time exploring the lore of his universe.

The potential is there for some substantial spin-offs.

Even Kishimoto himself admits that he should have planned things out better.

Kaguya and the others could have simply been tied to the mythology they were based on with Chibaku Tensei; having the "Rabbit Princess" sealed in the moon they created, then having their descendants migrate to that moon with the chakra inherited by Kaguya's two sons to guard over what was sealed there.

Coming from another continent, on earth, would have been more sensible. But space? Gives rise to too many questions I'm pretty confident Kishimoto will never answer. :p

Ninjas and Aliens... I just don't like the mixture, sorry.

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if we got a part 3. Not saying it will concretely happen, but I don't see why there's any reason to concretely say that it won't. If SJ or Pierrot sees money in it, they'll do it no matter how bad it might turn out, whether Kishi is behind it or not. There's potential for more storytelling whether we move forward or back. People say, if it follows Naruto and co again, who is left for Naruto to fight when he's so strong. Now that we have aliens confirmed, there's no limits. Not saying I want this, but I would not be surprised. Naruto still has money earning potential.

That's really awesome. It lends more credence to the idea that the tailed beasts were the living embodiment of malevolence. Anger and hatred created them.
 
Are you serious?

Frog Kata's bro.

Also hashirama has that ninjutsu that makes everything black right?

You serious? Frog Kata pushes him to 5/5

the frog technique adds power yes but if he doesn't know high end fighting combos and counters he can likely get beaten by someone with better Taijutsu skills in a hand to hand fight


Edit: I would say people who have some skill based Taijutsu are perfect fives compared to Naruto's Frog Sage stuff which might be a 4

Edit 2: Just give them power like Guys 8th gate and you'd see them destroying Naruto in hand to hand combat seeing as they know things like counters and dodges plus skillful hand attacks

Still irked that these same living embodiments of hatred and mass destruction became tamable pets. Naruto being best bros with "Kurama" outdoes any "he was the coolest guy" stuff. It trivialized what the tailed beasts were set up to be.

That's actually a good question. Does anyone know?

Kawazu Kumite doesn't really add power, but range; Senjutsu itself is what grants him that stupid, rhino-tossin' strength.

And no, the previous Data Book statistics did not account for power-ups 'n different modes, if I remember correctly.

I'll give Sakura's stats ago since why the hell not.

Ninjutsu: 3 > 5
Taijutsu: 3 > 5
Genjutsu: 3.5 > 3.5
Intelligence: 4 > 5
Strength: 3 > 5
Speed: 3 > 4
Stamina: 4 > 4.5
Hand seals: 4 > 5
Tota: 26 > 37

That puts her 2 points above Tsunade.

After checking out a bunch of stats from other characters that have never been seen using genjutsu or are even really the type to but have broken out of them or are presumably capable of doing so have 3/5. Naruto has been taught to break out of genjutsu, however, the one time he tried to do so, it was up against Itachi, who is a top tier genjutsu user. I think a 3/5 is a fair, especially now he's gotten full control of his chakra.

Also, given Naruto's feats, I think a 5/5 out of 5/5 score is valid for his hand seals.

My new stats for Naruto
Ninjutsu: 4 > 5
Taijutsu: 3.5 > 5
Genjutsu: 2 > 3
Intelligence: 3 > 3.5
Strength: 3.5 > 5
Speed: 3.5 > 5
Stamina: 5
Hand seals: 1.5 > 5
Total: 26 > 37

This puts the new deadlock members all 37, which I think is a decent estimate.

Eh, I doubt his Taijutsu or speed would be rated that much higher.

Stamina too, actually. The way he's been using his dōryoku since acquiring the Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan could be attributed more to acclimation, than more chakra to waste.

Sasuke has kept up with the likes of A, Kabuto, Obito, Madara and Naruto in physical confrontations. I think the 5/5 is well warranted.

Frog Katas isn't just raw power. Is a taijutsu battle style that takes perfect advantage of Sage's Mode increases sense and power.

Is kind of a dodge and strike type of taijutsu.

You are severely underestimating Naruto's taijutsu.

I don't think they do on account of Naruto and his jinchūriki modes. I also think the stats might reflect on the characters individually, rather than being part of a universal gauge.

your 3.5 sounds plausible




Also I think Sakura's Strength should be higher in your stats

okay I was wrong in saying it is strength but I still stand that other focused Taijustsu styles like the gentle fists and the gates are better in skill


also that vid gave me a headache with all the flashing amv in the end ;P
 
It was 3.5 before. While I don't find 5 to be entirely believable either, after learning Kawzu Kumite and acquiring all that experience, I wouldn't expect it to stay at 3.5.

was it :/

this was the 3rd book right..... did that release after the pain fight?


they need to at least increase the ranking level to 10 to make it more precise and adjust everything all over again.... probably push Naruto's taijutsu to 7up

Before.

3rd Data Book covered Part 2 up 'til the Chapter in which Sasuke awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

yeah this is sadly one of the problems with such books early on

seeing as things get topped later in the series which would likely either wonk the rankings or just make a majority of people up there in the perfect 5 score where we wouldn't know how they'd compare to other perfect 5s

Naruto has held his own and overwhelmed skilled taijutsu users before. In Part II, without using Frog Kata, he's held his own in base against Nagato (using Deva Path), Itachi, Obito and Madara.

all of which are not taijutsu Specialist
Taijutsu may not have been Itachi's specialty, but he was rated 5 in that area right along with his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Dude had no weak areas besides his stamina, and that could have only been as low as it was due to the illness he supposedly had.

That said, I don't know what to expect from Nagato's Taijutsu abilities, particularly those used through a puppet of his. And Naruto was using Kyūbi Chakra Mode while doing little more than defending as he was speaking to Itachi, manipulated and possibly hindered in a number of ways by Kabuto's control over him, about Sasuke and the Uchiha clan.

That's really awesome. It lends more credence to the idea that the tailed beasts were the living embodiment of malevolence. Anger and hatred created them.
Yeah, the chakra itself was made from all that malevolence, but the Biju were made through Rikudo Sennin's Banbutsusozo with the most benevolent of intentions.

I wish they actually had been created from nothing more than humanity's malice. That may have been Kishimoto's intention before introducing all of this Rikudo stuff.

granted Naruto knows how to fight

Neither are
Hiruzen (5)
Tsunade (5)
Jiraiya (4.5)
Kakashi (4.5)
Itachi (4.5)
Asuma (4.5)

The stats are inherently confusing because we don't know much about the scoring criteria. We don't know if it's reflective of the character's own potential or whether Kishi gauges them all by the same measure.

And Naruto was using Kyūbi Chakra Mode while doing little more than defending as he was speaking to Itachi, manipulated and possibly hindered in a number of ways by Kabuto's control over him, about Sasuke and the Uchiha clan.

Naruto wasn't actually fighting seriously, he was speaking to Itachi. If he was serious, he would have run laps around Itachi.
