@@jackgonahieu4999he did.. from the chakra blade and the hair. It's not uncommon in Naruto world for young and/or short people to be super powerful (for short, see Onoki) so maybe that guy only remembered the key characteristics that the village gave to describe the white fang and only focused on them.
My guess on why Sakumo was nicknamed as “White Fang of Konoha” is such: 1) He was a very proficient practitioner of kenjutsu and nin-kenjutsu; 2) His fighting spirit was that of a hound who found its prey; 3) When he channelled his chakra into weapon it glows with white light; 4) He had summoning jutsu of dogs like Kakashi has; 5) He was a master ambusher and knew very well the art of hit-and-run tactics.
I believe number 4 doesn't work. I don't think sakumo has dog summoning jutsu because I heard from another naruto manga fan (I don't know the source) that kakashi's mother is from the Inuzuka clan that specialize in dog summoning jutsu. This means that kakashi inherited the dogs from his mother side. However this could be false since I have not read it myself and only heard from someone else.
He’s Kakashi without the Sharingan and possibly Konoha’s ‘White Flash’ but they preferred White Fang and he’s not quite as fast as Minato. Or that’s how I would’ve written him.
You're not wrong, when Dygo gets in a groove, it feels like Kishimoto back in the day. Mini-rant My only gripe is that Dygo is a bit of an edgy boy in comparison and might need to soften up on the human sides of the characters. He occasionally gets carried away with those topics and dismisses a lot of other characters' with gentle or meek personalities, like he gives so much love to the future Tsuchikage Kurotsutchi but is so dismissive of the future Mizukage Chojio. To the point of likely writing him out like he did with Konohamaru, the story's representative of future generations. Chojiro's character storytelling potential is so vast as his meekness contrasts the Bloody Mist Village's ruthlessness and how he compartmentalizes his own ruthlessness in battle is ironically how he gains more confidence in himself. Basically, a very human character meant to humanize the Blood Mist Village, building off of Haku and Zabuza. Overall Dygo can be a bit sadistic with his audience and that comes out in his writing like the Tenten gag. Punishing his audience for caring about certain characters. I am not too bothered by this overall because he has his own unique voice as a writer with his own preferences and I love the Rewrite overall, but there is still room for improvement when replicating Kishimoto's voice. That's the only reason why I replied like this.
I think a fun power for him to have that would easily make him one of the most difficult to handle ninja ever is to be able to electrify and extend his sword. Every time he would strike someone else's kunai or sword he would taze the enemy meaning they would almost always want to dodge instead of parry. But if you dodge wrong he could just extend an electric version of his blade like Sasuke to stab you. Plus, that blade or 'fang ' would appear white and would make sense with his nickname.
Headcanon: Sakumo kill the second kazekage. Basically the only information about Shamon is that he started the use of ninja puppets, so I theorize that Chiyo was her apprentice, and probably Chiyo's son had a good relationship with him too. Al the kasekage were killed by assasins, so im gonna say Sakumo was the one who killed Shamon, and in the process he killed some bodyguards, including Chiyo's son.
Ooh, that's good, but let's say that is the mission that Sakumo failed. Potential fallout like killing those bodyguards. It is what led to Chiho to go on the war path inventing poison after poison, but better known Shamon innovating puppeteering like never before leading to lots of heavy losses for the Leaf VIllage like he was on the verge of greatness and Sakumo could've prevented him from cementing it, but he had to give up on the mission for his comrades inflicted with poisons that only can be found in the Sand Village. With a time limit to find an antidote forced Sakumo's hand. The assassination attempt likely gave the Leaf away further enraging the Sand, making any peace talks nonstarters for decades.
He is (Can't exactly say living) proof that Konoha stinks more than Boruto. Sakumo literally went by Obito's famous quote and look what Konoha did to him.
that's because Sakumo prolonged the war and the body bags kept on piling up. Sakumo chose to save the lives of the few while sacrificing the lives of the many. that's the reason why he took his own life. (he blamed himself for all of the death that happened in the war) Naruto almost fell to this if not for Hinata snapping him out of it.
@@pkj2148 of course it's not specified, it's a top secret mission. Sakumo chose to save the lives of his team, the mission failed and because of that, the Land of Fire took a heavy loss. the village and the people he saved blamed him for it. when Sakumo couldn't handle the burden, it took a toll on him both physically and mentally...then, he took his life. (source: Kakashi Gaiden)
@ A heavy loss could mean anything, it is never specified what that means. You have decided it means he prolonged the war and that many people died due to it. Minato never said the mission took place during the war, he just said the mission took place 5 years before Kakashi Gaiden, but we don't know exactly when the war started. You have filled the gaps with your headcanon and are talking as if it is factual.
Smth sad about him that Demon Slayer made me realise. When you commit Seppuku standard practice is to have a partner that will cut off your head after you slice your stomach. But Sakumo was all alone when he commited it, meaning he instead had to slowly bleed to death all alone
I don't remember if the concept of Seppuku existed in Naruto universe, but if there is something like Seppuku or Harakiri ritual in Naruto universe, then Sakumo's dead was very shameful. Because what he did was not a Seppuku with the purpose of restoring his honour as a Shinobi, but he just killed himself out of depression
I think sakumos sleeve thing is a symbol of a special rank he has like how asuma had that cloth around his waist because he’s a guardian of fire (I think that’s what he was anyway) Edit: I’ve come to see if I would’ve waited 10 more seconds you came to basically the same conclusion 😅
Hey dylo, i have a very good idea for a naruto question that needs to be answered, the title could be something like “can a edo tensei with sharingan go blind”, basically my idea is if an edo tensei uchiha can go blind from spamming ms sharingan
Just my imagination here. The White Fang uses wind chakra swords infused with simple genjustu. He swings is sword, launching wind shaped blades that he controlls, like homing missles. 1 scratch is all he needs to make that target think they're posioned, or a limb is cut-off, or Dogs are eating them alive. They are simple to kill while they are whailing in pain Also, White Fang can cast a dozen of theese for each target. Mabye 10 targets max His weakness is Puppets. The genjustu does not work on them. And they can still function if not completly destroyed. Mabye the mission involves Sasori's Father, a puppet user. That one foe the white Fang would have the most difficult time fighting. I imagine, most of his team died by the time he killed Sasori's parents, and decided to abandon mission before more puppet users arrived What ya think?
Anyone with Minato’s seal of approval is legit in my eyes. I believe that him being above Sage Jiraiya and bellow Sage Naruto is a pretty good estimation. BTW as a suggestion could you do a video of Minato (Jonin) vs Kisame?
Nah He was stronger than the young inexperienced not at their peak Sannin. 50 years old Sage mode Jiraiya, Byakugo seal Tsunade and Orochimaru before Hiruzen sealed his arms are stronger than him
@@exequielbreton4393 Incorrect, the author's whole purpose with that statement was to give us an idea of Sakumo's incredible power and when it comes to naruto statements like this tend to be straight forward. Sakumo was definitely meant to be strong than the prime Sannin.
Dude it's been four weeks, Christmas, and a new year, I mean like I don't think anybody cares if you make the back story that perfect like don't worry about perfection because honesty most people including just love seeing you post a rewrite as we know that you work hard on them so just forget about making the backstory perfect and please make the rewrite this Sunday please.
The problem is that we know for sure that Tsunade and Orochimaru were weak asf back then. In part 1 we are told that Orochimaru developed his strongest jutsus 10 years before his fight with Hiruzen, stated by Hiruzen and confirmed by Orochimaru himself, then when Tsunade and Orochimaru fight Orochimaru says that Tsunades Byakugo is new and she confirms it is. So Minato was talking about a young and weaker version of the sannins most definitely. Considering how the databooks say that SM Jiraiya is way above the "sannin" level, you could make the argument that Sakumo is around that level too, but when you take into consideration the fact that everyone says that senjutsu in general is a different kind of beast, i think it's fair to say he is weaker than SM Jiraiya too. He would be Hanzo level, which is technically "kage" level. People tend to think that Hanzo was just as strong as the Sannin, he straight up says he is not going to kill them while they gave their absolute best judging from how tired Jiraiya was when he said he would let them live. Hanzo is also stated to be Chiyo's rival and Tsunade rivaled her only in medical ninjutsu. Mifune only beat him cause he had the antidote and Hanzo was in a weak mind state too.
Yeah. Context really matters when it comes to conversations. Characters don't act with perfect information, and Manato was talking about information he knew at the time. Reputation has a lot to do with how a character is seen. Naruto has this awkward cold war between the 5 villages and there's a lot of information that doesn't leave it's walls.
What's funny (not ha ha funny, but sad and ironic funny) is that Sakumo would probably still get hate if he chose to abandon his comrades instead of the mission.
In lore reason: because edo tensei grabs the soul from the pure lands, while Sakumo was waiting in purgatory. Also, Orochimaru/Kabuto would probably have tried before the pain arc, failed and obviously never knew he went to the pure lands in the meantime, thus not trying again. Out of lore reason: A. Kishimoto didn't want/need a second meetup between Kakashi and Sakumo, just like between Naruto and Jiraya. B. i'm pretty sure he wanted to keep Sakumo as a mistery. I dont know if he has any real life experience drawing into Sakumos character (in which case very obviously he would have reflected the respect that person deserved onto Sakumo and have him be in peace), but assuming thats not the case, i would guess, Sakumo was never meant to be shown fighting. His strength probably lies in his wisdom rather than just raw jutsu power, and such a power is much better been left a mistery than stripping that away just to benchmark him for the audience. That could also explain his suicide, as Kishimoto might have wanted his wisdom to be flawless, and well, dying in combat because of whatever reason would have jsut diminished that. All of that not to mention that his main role was, well, being a backstory for Kakashi, and this way he had a lot of impact for him, and his case taught Kakashi, "even if nobody is your equal in strength, having toxic comerades can take down anyone". I dont think anything more could have added to Sakumos impact, and honestly, i dont think either a one-off manga would have portrayed him as a fighter, but rather as a tactician or wise man, whatever that would have looked like.
He was my top pick for new playable characters in storm connections alongside Fugaku Uchiha just like Shisui and Rin when we didn’t really see them fight or do much in the series I think they would fit right in
I voted for Sakumo in that poll I really wanted to see his background since he was claimed to be stronger than the legendary sannin combined it would have been so interesting and it sucks that we will not be able to see some of his story
I've always had a bit of a headcanon that either the Hatake were an offshoot of the Inuzuka, or vice-versa. The way the story is more or less set, it's clans that set all benchmarks of power at any rate. People are always comparing people to the Senjuu or the Uchiha for baseline power, but for the people that weren't written to be god-like, the Akimichi, the Nara, the Aburame, the Hyuga and the Yamanaka were all probably the actual benchmarks for the average ninja. Clans that survived for generations, took part in all of the wars, had bloodline related abilities (as kekkei genkai is literally a thing in the story). We also know through the Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga and Uchiha, that branch-clans are a thing. The fact that Kakashi is *the only* surviving Hatake that we know of probably means the clan was small, but the fact it used multiple ninja dogs *in* Konoha kinda has to mean it was related to the Inuzuka. Early on Kishimoto was very keen on giving each family very specific animal crests and summons that didn't really repeat. So I think the implication from the get go is that the Hatake would be automatically one of the 10 more powerful families in the Leaf, despite clan size. And if we take the whole "like father like son" approach the series also has, I think that it's easy to assume that Sakumo was the Kakashi of his own generation; which probably means he was a genius, albeit without a sharingan. I'd pretty confidently say he would be a top 5 Konoha shinobi of his generation, all things considered, even if we know jack shit about him
Ninja mustn't come from a clan. Minato wasn't, there is no indication that Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Guy were, Sakura also isn't. I don't know why fans always want to associate people to clans.
@@pkj2148 Not the point I'm making. Of course ninja can come from any family. But the plot of the series go out of its way to highlight that bloodline means a lot all the time, and a "no-name" making it big is the exception and not the rule. It's why kekkei genkai and the entire concept of "naturally born genius" matter. Notice the people you are listing are all prime examples of "the hardworking genius" that is the counterpoint thesis of the story. Of course that in itself can be a counter-argument to me, because of the fact that we don't know of Kakashi having a Kekkei Genkai; but since he already is seen as a foil to Gai, odds are he was, as he falls squarely into camp one.
@@jpcsdutra Kakashi and his father are part of the exceptions, they don't need to be associated to a clan. My issue is how fans like to create theories from very flimsy evidence. Kakashi has dog summonings, so he could be related to the Inuzuka, Gaara has red hair, so he could be an Uzumaki etc... I could also create one right now, Aoba is an Uchiha because he uses crows like Itachi. It's just too weak. Also, Orochimaru and Minato were not hard working geniuses, they were prodigies.
I feel like the White Fang was realistically Prime Hanzo level who easily soloed them back when they were young adults. I feel it would be the same outcome if Naruto Sasuke and Sakura had to fight Tobi/Obitio in earlier part 2. Maybe he could even use FTG (though far more limited than say Minato but more advanced than Tobirama) that would actually explain why he needed to choose between saving his friends and teleporting away or use the jutsu to get what ever the objective is done and get out of there (people having counter seals to override the marks would be the only thing to stop people from just marking something and jumping back when everyone's guard is down. I feel like the mission itself would be something SUPER important like maybe Konoha was supposed to assassinate the Earth Daimyo at the time or something important of that profile
Dygo please tell us when will you renew the rewrites. I mainly watch your channel for the rewrites. They are so good I like to believe they are cannon instead of the real manga/anime. ☺️
Video idea I've never heard any other youtuber talk about this. Can we talk about the fact that the anime kinda ruined Naruto vs Neji? They ruined the fight by having Naruto charge at Neji in the beginning, and then somehow Neji misses. He goes back to fighting with his clones. Like he should have done in the beginning. That never happens in the manga, and it makes naruto seem dumb for charging at Neji, and that makes Neji seem incompetent for missing an attack. Seems like pointless filler.Cause it makes both of them seem stupid, plus keba jumps up and calls Naruto an idiot as if he's not the one sitting on his butt.😂
That comment about the Sannin makes Hanzo be the oubvious benchmark. He is the only other character that we know could beat the three lengary shinobi at once. Using Kakashi as another source, we could theorize his strenght throught what we know his son could do. And for that we could use the Hokage Kakashi without the sharingan, that we know is pretty powerfull. About his fighting style, we only know he use kenjutsu and probably could summon the ninja dogs. It is possible he also could use Earth Style, since it is the most common nature release and we know Kakashi also use it a lot, but that is just speculation. I don't think he could defeat Sage Mode Jiraya at all. We know that when Jiraya fought Hanzo he wasn't using SM. Maybe he hadn't learned how to do it yet or he just didn't got the opportunity. But that Jiraya also didn't know the rasengan. So it is fair to assume Jiraya got way more powerfull than he was when he fought with Hanzo. I don't think Hanzo being defeated by Mifune is an anti-feat at all. First, we know Mifune himself scale to Kage level with easy. And by the time they fought their rematch, Hanzo was not in his prime anymore. As he tells Mifune, his blade had dulled. Another reason why i say Sakumo is probably not on the level of SM Jiraya is how easily Hanzo was killed by Pain. While SM Jiraya could defeat at least three bodies. So my conclusion is that Sakumo is somehow comparable with Hanzo, is definitely at Kage level, but doesnt reach SM Jiraya.
My theory is that Sakumo had a Dog Sage Mode. Let me explain: - We don't know that much about sage mode, so most people agree that all talking animals with available contracts in Naruto have some form of sage mode. We can assume the dogs have one too. - Kakashi had a contract with dogs and the reason for this is never really explained. We don't know how or why he got this. I heard a theory that perhaps Kakashi's mom was from Kiba's clan, but I don't think so. That clan trains wild dogs, they are very different from the dogs Kakashi summons. I think he just adopted the same contract his father had, but of course, never managed to develop sage mode because his whole focus was always using the sharingan (plus his chakra reserves wouldn't have helped). - Sakumo was called The White Fang, so I guess the White refers to his hair, but the Fang to his skills, techniques and fighting style. Plus he was very loyal and that's a dog-like characteristic. - The thing is, since we don't really know what a dog sage mode could do, it leaves the door open to assuming it was very powerful and offered very useful abilities. If we add the fact that Sakumo was clearly talented and smart, he might have been able to exploit dog sage mode to the fullest, kind of like Minato with the Flying Rayjin. Now, I leave it to you to imagine what a dog sage mode could give its user :)
fun fact, Kakashi was said to have a better nose than Kiba. So chances are Sakumo was the same. Maybe a great sensory ninja, wise af and might have had a one hit kill move, that would be more than enough to turn him into a legendary ninja
Have to say, I love Kakashi interaction with Sakumo in the pain arc, but still, it would be a lot better for Kakashi to encounter and fight sakumo than zabuza and haku. Considering Kakashi upscaling throughout the series and the Edo tensei nerf, Kakashi should have stomped zabuza and haku at the same time. Sakumo would be a better scaling fight, but yet it would probably be weird for him to appear after the pain arc
Low Kage/Sannin level. I really believe Minato's statement on him is about his achievement in the previous war compare to what Sannin achieved. while Sakumo ultimately abandoned his last mission and got scrutinize for it, the Sannin goes on to lead Konoha to victory in the second war. hence what he actually done in war make what Sannin achieved pales in comparison.
If up to me, Sakumo’s basically Kakashi without the Sharingan. Him being considered ‘above sannin level’ isn’t that far off if you remember that the sannin that fought Hanzo were nowhere near as powerful as they were in part 1. However, if Sakumo was alive during part 1, I have no doubt he’d still be comparable to them. Too bad Kabuto didn’t bring him back during the War arc.
I think he might be related to Jiraya actualy, there arent that many grey haired characters, and the long hair could be used with the same jutsus that Jiraya does with his hair. Pair that with some lightning jutsus and swordplay and you got quite a nice ninja there
To me, Sakumo is above prime Hanzou, which is a massive deal worldwide. Hanzou fought three of the biggest future talents and could've beat them. Kishimoto said he never made a fight for him because he couldn't do the character justice. I think it was a good move in the end.
I don’t think Sakumo ever had a shot at being Hokage. If you look at everyone who has taken the role, there is a clear line of succession that connects everyone to Hashirama either directly through a lineage of a bloodline or indirectly through a lineage of master-student relationships. This is even true up to the substitute Hokage like Shikamaru since he was trained by Asuma who is the son of the 3rd Hokage.
had the same thought, just keep in mind though it's also the chuunin/jonin west crest. It does have a special place on his personal identifying element, so it's not impossible either. If he was though, high chakra + some kind of lightning blade that might have flashed enemies and be a oneshot ability + his wisdom would have made him a formidable opponent. My headcanon is his signature move was essentially like a raikiri paired with a flashbang, he might have had some other ways to detect opponents (maybe smell because dogs and Kakashi was said to have a better nose than Kiba), that would pretty much make him as capable offensively as Sasuke, except the enemies being essentially unable to use vision against him.
It was trolling from outside of Naruto fan base I'm not joking because other anime fans more or less know "useless sakura" meme and wanted to troll in that poll. Imagine if they succeeded and Sakura was #1
Dygo you underestimate Tsunade so much, she’s waay more powerful than sage Jiraya, he almost died fighting 3 paths of Pain while Tsunade was holding her own against 5 Madara clones, and Jiraya had Ma and Pa with him.
Is he snake, sage or 1000 healjns level? Who knows. All we have are statements but id say its safe to say hes low to mid kage. I have a tough time believing hes sage mode level.
Bro it is 4week still not a single rewrite ihave to eat popcorn watching anything else isave them for todays Dont worry brother if not a good response coming from rewrite as other viedo, keep cooking one day your story will be famous as dragon ball kakumae as depth and story in your rewrite is great and some time it give goosbomb as original 😊
I don’t understand why Sakumo had to kill himself in a place where he could be easily discovered by his son. Trash decision by a trash father. Why not just take an S+ rank mission and go out in a blaze of glory?
They probably didn't give him any more important missions after that, he kinda proved that he will fail the most important missions if he has something better to do and the higher ups (who was Hokage in his time?) couldn't trust him anymore. That probably made him even more depressed in the end.
If I was a Naruto character or a ninja id be a normal ninja with wind & fire nature, smoke bombs at hand 24/7, 100% non confrontation only assassinate the target and run
A have a theory. What of Minato was bad at judging others power? Bad perception abilities He judge right that the Masked man was powerful, but he didnt need to be a genius , the guy was showing serious feats. And he could not notice that he was his pupil. Them he though that he sucks at sage and showed a perfect sage. It is a hint that he do not perceive power that well. What if Jiraya was just being nice to the dead man "you know Minato, he was a great ninja, I wish I could become near that good." And Minato just concludes that?
Familia ante omnia. Family above all. Dude make a mistake lead to death of his dudes. Cried a few hours and deside it will be acceptable to leave his son without both parents with III world shinobi war outside. Truly legendary, underrated, glorious ninja? IMO, typical sadboy, and it’s cool to hear he waited all that time waiting kskashi cuz every second he spent there he remembered “they called me a white fang.. I’m just a рus sу»

Bro makes a 20 minute video with 2 lines of dialogue referancing sakumos power xD insane
Don’t make him rush guys. The more time he has to plot the better the rewrite
My guess on why Sakumo was nicknamed as “White Fang of Konoha” is such:
1) He was a very proficient practitioner of kenjutsu and nin-kenjutsu;
2) His fighting spirit was that of a hound who found its prey;
3) When he channelled his chakra into weapon it glows with white light;
4) He had summoning jutsu of dogs like Kakashi has;
5) He was a master ambusher and knew very well the art of hit-and-run tactics.
I believe number 4 doesn't work. I don't think sakumo has dog summoning jutsu because I heard from another naruto manga fan (I don't know the source) that kakashi's mother is from the Inuzuka clan that specialize in dog summoning jutsu. This means that kakashi inherited the dogs from his mother side. However this could be false since I have not read it myself and only heard from someone else.
Or…or…his hair is white???
He’s Kakashi without the Sharingan and possibly Konoha’s ‘White Flash’ but they preferred White Fang and he’s not quite as fast as Minato. Or that’s how I would’ve written him.

You have filled the gaps with your headcanon and are talking as if it is factual.
This is one of those naruto characters that could have a movie and i will 100% watch
He was so strong that even life itself couldn't defeat him and had to rely on death and one of its children, depression.
I honestly would have much preferred the oneshot spin-off have gone to exploring Sakumo rather than an unnecessary story about Minato to be honest.
Thats some real shite you just said. Minato winning is proof that this fanbase has limited brain capacity.
I feel like there’s so many characters like sakumo they could’ve made a series about
The one shot could be about sakumo vs sasori's parents
Smth sad about him that Demon Slayer made me realise. When you commit Seppuku standard practice is to have a partner that will cut off your head after you slice your stomach. But Sakumo was all alone when he commited it, meaning he instead had to slowly bleed to death all alone
I don't remember if the concept of Seppuku existed in Naruto universe, but if there is something like Seppuku or Harakiri ritual in Naruto universe, then Sakumo's dead was very shameful. Because what he did was not a Seppuku with the purpose of restoring his honour as a Shinobi, but he just killed himself out of depression
I mean, in theory, he could've used a shadow clone to accomplish what you described
@@filipferencak2717 He could but the flashback show his head was still in tact
@@thanosal-titan Samurais were flabbergasted seeing Hanzo, a ninja, committing it
See this is the type of stuff a prequel Naruto series could cover! Sakumo's story!
what happened to the rewrite? it's been a month
Don't rush art
@@WTM-fg3veit's the only reason I'm here though
thanks for all the hard work dygo! get to the rewrite when you can, we all eagerly await!
I think sakumos sleeve thing is a symbol of a special rank he has like how asuma had that cloth around his waist because he’s a guardian of fire (I think that’s what he was anyway)
Edit: I’ve come to see if I would’ve waited 10 more seconds you came to basically the same conclusion 😅
Hey dylo, i have a very good idea for a naruto question that needs to be answered, the title could be something like “can a edo tensei with sharingan go blind”, basically my idea is if an edo tensei uchiha can go blind from spamming ms sharingan
Will we get a rewrite next week?
Hmmm... So this means that we'll see Sakumo in War Arc Rewrite?
Just my imagination here.
The White Fang uses wind chakra swords infused with simple genjustu.
He swings is sword, launching wind shaped blades that he controlls, like homing missles.
1 scratch is all he needs to make that target think they're posioned, or a limb is cut-off, or Dogs are eating them alive.
They are simple to kill while they are whailing in pain
Also, White Fang can cast a dozen of theese for each target. Mabye 10 targets max
His weakness is Puppets. The genjustu does not work on them. And they can still function if not completly destroyed.
Mabye the mission involves Sasori's Father, a puppet user. That one foe the white Fang would have the most difficult time fighting.
I imagine, most of his team died by the time he killed Sasori's parents, and decided to abandon mission before more puppet users arrived
What ya think?
Anyone with Minato’s seal of approval is legit in my eyes. I believe that him being above Sage Jiraiya and bellow Sage Naruto is a pretty good estimation.
BTW as a suggestion could you do a video of
Minato (Jonin) vs Kisame?
Nah He was stronger than the young inexperienced not at their peak Sannin. 50 years old Sage mode Jiraiya, Byakugo seal Tsunade and Orochimaru before Hiruzen sealed his arms are stronger than him
@@exequielbreton4393 Incorrect, the author's whole purpose with that statement was to give us an idea of Sakumo's incredible power and when it comes to naruto statements like this tend to be straight forward. Sakumo was definitely meant to be strong than the prime Sannin.
Bro when's the rewrite coming out?
soon
Dude it's been four weeks, Christmas, and a new year, I mean like I don't think anybody cares if you make the back story that perfect like don't worry about perfection because honesty most people including just love seeing you post a rewrite as we know that you work hard on them so just forget about making the backstory perfect and please make the rewrite this Sunday please.
@@meliodasking2100 u told words from my heart
@@meliodasking2100
If the rewrite came out this Sunday, and it was terrible, you'd be cursing Dygo. Let him write the story he wants to write.
@@meliodasking2100 Dude! Lighten up. Like you said, Christmas, New Years… let the man live his life.
Be grateful, not entitled.
The problem is that we know for sure that Tsunade and Orochimaru were weak asf back then. In part 1 we are told that Orochimaru developed his strongest jutsus 10 years before his fight with Hiruzen, stated by Hiruzen and confirmed by Orochimaru himself, then when Tsunade and Orochimaru fight Orochimaru says that Tsunades Byakugo is new and she confirms it is. So Minato was talking about a young and weaker version of the sannins most definitely. Considering how the databooks say that SM Jiraiya is way above the "sannin" level, you could make the argument that Sakumo is around that level too, but when you take into consideration the fact that everyone says that senjutsu in general is a different kind of beast, i think it's fair to say he is weaker than SM Jiraiya too. He would be Hanzo level, which is technically "kage" level. People tend to think that Hanzo was just as strong as the Sannin, he straight up says he is not going to kill them while they gave their absolute best judging from how tired Jiraiya was when he said he would let them live. Hanzo is also stated to be Chiyo's rival and Tsunade rivaled her only in medical ninjutsu. Mifune only beat him cause he had the antidote and Hanzo was in a weak mind state too.
Yeah. Context really matters when it comes to conversations. Characters don't act with perfect information, and Manato was talking about information he knew at the time.
Reputation has a lot to do with how a character is seen. Naruto has this awkward cold war between the 5 villages and there's a lot of information that doesn't leave it's walls.
@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 exactly, taking statements at face value is just not the way to go about anything.
What's funny (not ha ha funny, but sad and ironic funny) is that Sakumo would probably still get hate if he chose to abandon his comrades instead of the mission.
I’m super pumped to see his fight with Kakashi in the rewrite!
Just cant understand why kishimoto pulled him out with edo tensei during the war arch :(
In lore reason: because edo tensei grabs the soul from the pure lands, while Sakumo was waiting in purgatory. Also, Orochimaru/Kabuto would probably have tried before the pain arc, failed and obviously never knew he went to the pure lands in the meantime, thus not trying again.
Out of lore reason: A. Kishimoto didn't want/need a second meetup between Kakashi and Sakumo, just like between Naruto and Jiraya. B. i'm pretty sure he wanted to keep Sakumo as a mistery. I dont know if he has any real life experience drawing into Sakumos character (in which case very obviously he would have reflected the respect that person deserved onto Sakumo and have him be in peace), but assuming thats not the case, i would guess, Sakumo was never meant to be shown fighting. His strength probably lies in his wisdom rather than just raw jutsu power, and such a power is much better been left a mistery than stripping that away just to benchmark him for the audience. That could also explain his suicide, as Kishimoto might have wanted his wisdom to be flawless, and well, dying in combat because of whatever reason would have jsut diminished that. All of that not to mention that his main role was, well, being a backstory for Kakashi, and this way he had a lot of impact for him, and his case taught Kakashi, "even if nobody is your equal in strength, having toxic comerades can take down anyone".
I dont think anything more could have added to Sakumos impact, and honestly, i dont think either a one-off manga would have portrayed him as a fighter, but rather as a tactician or wise man, whatever that would have looked like.
He was my top pick for new playable characters in storm connections alongside Fugaku Uchiha just like Shisui and Rin when we didn’t really see them fight or do much in the series I think they would fit right in
17:49 that’s not fair- Mifune is actually a high Kage tier opponent who never stopped training, and fought Hanzo in his prime.
I voted for Sakumo in that poll I really wanted to see his background since he was claimed to be stronger than the legendary sannin combined it would have been so interesting and it sucks that we will not be able to see some of his story
LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤❤❤
I've always had a bit of a headcanon that either the Hatake were an offshoot of the Inuzuka, or vice-versa.
The way the story is more or less set, it's clans that set all benchmarks of power at any rate. People are always comparing people to the Senjuu or the Uchiha for baseline power, but for the people that weren't written to be god-like, the Akimichi, the Nara, the Aburame, the Hyuga and the Yamanaka were all probably the actual benchmarks for the average ninja. Clans that survived for generations, took part in all of the wars, had bloodline related abilities (as kekkei genkai is literally a thing in the story). We also know through the Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga and Uchiha, that branch-clans are a thing.
The fact that Kakashi is *the only* surviving Hatake that we know of probably means the clan was small, but the fact it used multiple ninja dogs *in* Konoha kinda has to mean it was related to the Inuzuka. Early on Kishimoto was very keen on giving each family very specific animal crests and summons that didn't really repeat.
So I think the implication from the get go is that the Hatake would be automatically one of the 10 more powerful families in the Leaf, despite clan size.
And if we take the whole "like father like son" approach the series also has, I think that it's easy to assume that Sakumo was the Kakashi of his own generation; which probably means he was a genius, albeit without a sharingan.
I'd pretty confidently say he would be a top 5 Konoha shinobi of his generation, all things considered, even if we know jack shit about him
Ninja mustn't come from a clan. Minato wasn't, there is no indication that Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Guy were, Sakura also isn't. I don't know why fans always want to associate people to clans.
@@pkj2148 Not the point I'm making. Of course ninja can come from any family. But the plot of the series go out of its way to highlight that bloodline means a lot all the time, and a "no-name" making it big is the exception and not the rule. It's why kekkei genkai and the entire concept of "naturally born genius" matter. Notice the people you are listing are all prime examples of "the hardworking genius" that is the counterpoint thesis of the story.
Of course that in itself can be a counter-argument to me, because of the fact that we don't know of Kakashi having a Kekkei Genkai; but since he already is seen as a foil to Gai, odds are he was, as he falls squarely into camp one.
@@jpcsdutra Kakashi and his father are part of the exceptions, they don't need to be associated to a clan. My issue is how fans like to create theories from very flimsy evidence. Kakashi has dog summonings, so he could be related to the Inuzuka, Gaara has red hair, so he could be an Uzumaki etc... I could also create one right now, Aoba is an Uchiha because he uses crows like Itachi. It's just too weak.
Also, Orochimaru and Minato were not hard working geniuses, they were prodigies.
I feel like the White Fang was realistically Prime Hanzo level who easily soloed them back when they were young adults. I feel it would be the same outcome if Naruto Sasuke and Sakura had to fight Tobi/Obitio in earlier part 2. Maybe he could even use FTG (though far more limited than say Minato but more advanced than Tobirama) that would actually explain why he needed to choose between saving his friends and teleporting away or use the jutsu to get what ever the objective is done and get out of there (people having counter seals to override the marks would be the only thing to stop people from just marking something and jumping back when everyone's guard is down. I feel like the mission itself would be something SUPER important like maybe Konoha was supposed to assassinate the Earth Daimyo at the time or something important of that profile
As powerful as he is. We all know it took emotional Pain to truly defeat him.
Damn, epic new video on a really underrated character.
4 minutes into the video and I can tell Dygo has great things planned for this character in the Rewrite Series❤
What does sakume katake thinks he cant do if he is on the moon?
He cant hang himself
Dygo please tell us when will you renew the rewrites. I mainly watch your channel for the rewrites. They are so good I like to believe they are cannon instead of the real manga/anime. ☺️
He was a plot devise that kishimoto didn't care about and just gave 1 random line for the power scalers to die over
Man we need more info on so many shinbo like sukamo and even the whole cloud village
hes soo strong, yet he cant stop his inner demons.
Video idea I've never heard any other youtuber talk about this. Can we talk about the fact that the anime kinda ruined Naruto vs Neji? They ruined the fight by having Naruto charge at Neji in the beginning, and then somehow Neji misses. He goes back to fighting with his clones. Like he should have done in the beginning. That never happens in the manga, and it makes naruto seem dumb for charging at Neji, and that makes Neji seem incompetent for missing an attack.
Seems like pointless filler.Cause it makes both of them seem stupid, plus keba jumps up and calls Naruto an idiot as if he's not the one sitting on his butt.😂
That comment about the Sannin makes Hanzo be the oubvious benchmark. He is the only other character that we know could beat the three lengary shinobi at once.
Using Kakashi as another source, we could theorize his strenght throught what we know his son could do. And for that we could use the Hokage Kakashi without the sharingan, that we know is pretty powerfull.
About his fighting style, we only know he use kenjutsu and probably could summon the ninja dogs. It is possible he also could use Earth Style, since it is the most common nature release and we know Kakashi also use it a lot, but that is just speculation.
I don't think he could defeat Sage Mode Jiraya at all. We know that when Jiraya fought Hanzo he wasn't using SM. Maybe he hadn't learned how to do it yet or he just didn't got the opportunity. But that Jiraya also didn't know the rasengan. So it is fair to assume Jiraya got way more powerfull than he was when he fought with Hanzo.
I don't think Hanzo being defeated by Mifune is an anti-feat at all. First, we know Mifune himself scale to Kage level with easy. And by the time they fought their rematch, Hanzo was not in his prime anymore. As he tells Mifune, his blade had dulled.
Another reason why i say Sakumo is probably not on the level of SM Jiraya is how easily Hanzo was killed by Pain. While SM Jiraya could defeat at least three bodies.
So my conclusion is that Sakumo is somehow comparable with Hanzo, is definitely at Kage level, but doesnt reach SM Jiraya.
My theory is that Sakumo had a Dog Sage Mode. Let me explain:
- We don't know that much about sage mode, so most people agree that all talking animals with available contracts in Naruto have some form of sage mode. We can assume the dogs have one too.
- Kakashi had a contract with dogs and the reason for this is never really explained. We don't know how or why he got this. I heard a theory that perhaps Kakashi's mom was from Kiba's clan, but I don't think so. That clan trains wild dogs, they are very different from the dogs Kakashi summons. I think he just adopted the same contract his father had, but of course, never managed to develop sage mode because his whole focus was always using the sharingan (plus his chakra reserves wouldn't have helped).
- Sakumo was called The White Fang, so I guess the White refers to his hair, but the Fang to his skills, techniques and fighting style. Plus he was very loyal and that's a dog-like characteristic.
- The thing is, since we don't really know what a dog sage mode could do, it leaves the door open to assuming it was very powerful and offered very useful abilities. If we add the fact that Sakumo was clearly talented and smart, he might have been able to exploit dog sage mode to the fullest, kind of like Minato with the Flying Rayjin.
Now, I leave it to you to imagine what a dog sage mode could give its user :)
fun fact, Kakashi was said to have a better nose than Kiba.
So chances are Sakumo was the same. Maybe a great sensory ninja, wise af and might have had a one hit kill move, that would be more than enough to turn him into a legendary ninja
Have to say, I love Kakashi interaction with Sakumo in the pain arc, but still, it would be a lot better for Kakashi to encounter and fight sakumo than zabuza and haku. Considering Kakashi upscaling throughout the series and the Edo tensei nerf, Kakashi should have stomped zabuza and haku at the same time.
Sakumo would be a better scaling fight, but yet it would probably be weird for him to appear after the pain arc
This is why Kakashi should have been the one to fight Sasori. Because of the little narrative build up.
Sasori would blitz Kakashi.
What
@@justinarzola4584
Kakashi is way faster than Sasori
Low Kage/Sannin level. I really believe Minato's statement on him is about his achievement in the previous war compare to what Sannin achieved. while Sakumo ultimately abandoned his last mission and got scrutinize for it, the Sannin goes on to lead Konoha to victory in the second war. hence what he actually done in war make what Sannin achieved pales in comparison.
The caption is ridiculous stop the bs and the cap.
How is there already eight comments
Any new information about the release of the new rewrite episode?
If up to me, Sakumo’s basically Kakashi without the Sharingan. Him being considered ‘above sannin level’ isn’t that far off if you remember that the sannin that fought Hanzo were nowhere near as powerful as they were in part 1. However, if Sakumo was alive during part 1, I have no doubt he’d still be comparable to them. Too bad Kabuto didn’t bring him back during the War arc.
Please come up with the mission for the naruto rewrite, we never know what it was and it should be relevant.
I think he might be related to Jiraya actualy, there arent that many grey haired characters, and the long hair could be used with the same jutsus that Jiraya does with his hair. Pair that with some lightning jutsus and swordplay and you got quite a nice ninja there
To me, Sakumo is above prime Hanzou, which is a massive deal worldwide. Hanzou fought three of the biggest future talents and could've beat them. Kishimoto said he never made a fight for him because he couldn't do the character justice. I think it was a good move in the end.
I don’t think Sakumo ever had a shot at being Hokage. If you look at everyone who has taken the role, there is a clear line of succession that connects everyone to Hashirama either directly through a lineage of a bloodline or indirectly through a lineage of master-student relationships. This is even true up to the substitute Hokage like Shikamaru since he was trained by Asuma who is the son of the 3rd Hokage.
Did you just changed the thumbnail three times?
is Sakumo Hatake related to the uzumaki clan via the mother i notice the shoulders have there symbol
had the same thought, just keep in mind though it's also the chuunin/jonin west crest. It does have a special place on his personal identifying element, so it's not impossible either. If he was though, high chakra + some kind of lightning blade that might have flashed enemies and be a oneshot ability + his wisdom would have made him a formidable opponent.
My headcanon is his signature move was essentially like a raikiri paired with a flashbang, he might have had some other ways to detect opponents (maybe smell because dogs and Kakashi was said to have a better nose than Kiba), that would pretty much make him as capable offensively as Sasuke, except the enemies being essentially unable to use vision against him.
Damm i was thinking there was a reriwte today
Kakashi was 5 years old at that times.
Are we gonna a see more of him in the rewrite
Maybe he used Sage Mode from Dogs?
Your powerscalling way is extraordinary.
2:59 Ok who voted SAKURA up to 3rd place in this popularity poll??
It was trolling from outside of Naruto fan base I'm not joking because other anime fans more or less know "useless sakura" meme and wanted to troll in that poll. Imagine if they succeeded and Sakura was #1
That was my first thought lol there's no way there's that many legit Sakura fans around how did she get THIRD????
Dygo you underestimate Tsunade so much, she’s waay more powerful than sage Jiraya, he almost died fighting 3 paths of Pain while Tsunade was holding her own against 5 Madara clones, and Jiraya had Ma and Pa with him.
Let’s not forget he killed Sasori parents.
Idea: ranking kage
Bruh a whole month since last rewrite 💔😭🙏

Isnt prime hiruzen stronger then sage mode naruto so how could sakumo be relative to prime hiruzen and prime hiruzen is essentially edo hiruzen?
15:24 is that a jojo’s reference?!?
Yo it been a month what up with that Naruto rewrite
working on it
Where is the rewrite?
working on it
Is he snake, sage or 1000 healjns level? Who knows. All we have are statements but id say its safe to say hes low to mid kage. I have a tough time believing hes sage mode level.
Yo also why is shisui so high?
much less powerful than the fandom imagines
He was 9 or 10 not 13 but point still stands
I think that Sakumo Hatake would be stronger than the 3 Legendary Sannin combined in their base forms, his level would be comparable to Hanzo.
I may be wrong but pretty sure kakashi was a jonin at 10
He was nah i’d win strong, so strong that the ONLY person who could kill him was himself
The real question is: Who was Kakashi's mom?
Bro it is 4week still not a single rewrite ihave to eat popcorn watching anything else isave them for todays
Dont worry brother if not a good response coming from rewrite as other viedo, keep cooking one day your story will be famous as dragon ball kakumae as depth and story in your rewrite is great and some time it give goosbomb as original 😊
I don’t understand why Sakumo had to kill himself in a place where he could be easily discovered by his son. Trash decision by a trash father. Why not just take an S+ rank mission and go out in a blaze of glory?
They probably didn't give him any more important missions after that, he kinda proved that he will fail the most important missions if he has something better to do and the higher ups (who was Hokage in his time?) couldn't trust him anymore. That probably made him even more depressed in the end.
If I was a Naruto character or a ninja id be a normal ninja with wind & fire nature, smoke bombs at hand 24/7, 100% non confrontation only assassinate the target and run
Behold! The only TRUE ninja in the entire Naruto series!
A have a theory. What of Minato was bad at judging others power? Bad perception abilities
He judge right that the Masked man was powerful, but he didnt need to be a genius , the guy was showing serious feats. And he could not notice that he was his pupil.
Them he though that he sucks at sage and showed a perfect sage. It is a hint that he do not perceive power that well.
What if Jiraya was just being nice to the dead man "you know Minato, he was a great ninja, I wish I could become near that good." And Minato just concludes that?
🔥
3:00 Wait wait wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT ちょっと待っ!

What if Naruto Had Rinnegan ?
Familia ante omnia. Family above all. Dude make a mistake lead to death of his dudes. Cried a few hours and deside it will be acceptable to leave his son without both parents with III world shinobi war outside. Truly legendary, underrated, glorious ninja? IMO, typical sadboy, and it’s cool to hear he waited all that time waiting kskashi cuz every second he spent there he remembered “they called me a white fang.. I’m just a рus sу»
