Hunter-nin hunts jounins. They are stronger than jounins. I didn't say that kakashi assumed haku was stronger based on the fact that haku looked like a mist ANBU. You took away the obvious facts that haku was a lot younger, that he seemingly assassinated zabuza with zero effort, that kakashi did not perceive his presence, not his attack. Kakashi was an ANBU at a certain age, and haku seemingly reached that stage a lot earlier. There was why kakashi thought that maybe haku is stronger than him. Also put naruto's comment in context. After zabuza was taken away, naruto said what the hell was that, that kid just casually killed someone the four of them together fought. Kakashi seemed to agree (yet still doubtful) with what naruto said, and told naruto the statement. Of course kakashi was speaking of the ninjas in general, but haku was included at that moment.Originally posted by: xanbcoo
ANBU doesn't mean that they're stronger than a Jounin.
Hell, Kakashi was part of ANBU years before he even met Team 7. If you're saying he assumed Haku was stronger based on the fact that Haku looked like a mist ANBU (actually a hunter-nin), then you're still wrong.
Kakashi's comment was referring to ninjas in general, not Haku. Otherwise, he would have been more specific when he said "there are ninjas in this world..."; he was telling Naruto not to be suprised that Haku is stronger than Naruto because such ninja do exist. I think you are misconstruing what Kakashi said.
Can we stop discussing this please?
Back to episode 134, the episode is quite disappointing:
- The visual effects with the black chidori and the collision of the chakra didn't fit the style. Not to mention the ball with techno feel, didn't make any sense.
- Sasuke's level 2 appearance is not appealing.
- The presentation of emotional content is forced and unnatural.
When sasuke continue into the forest after the fight, he said that he would gain power in this own way. He already chose not to kill his best friend, and probably chosen not to go to orochimaru. Yet he is still walking into something extremely dark. Makes you wonder how he is going to gain more power. Maybe do something darker than itachi or orochimaru can imagine?
