Would You Choose a Jinchuriki or a User of a Powerful Kekkei Genkai?
Would You Choose a Jinchuriki or a User of a Powerful Kekkei Genkai?
When deciding between the formidable abilities of a Jinchuriki and a user of a powerful Kekkei Genkai, the Tenseigan arguably stands out as the top choice. The Tenseigan not only grants the user control over both attractive and repulsive forces, similar to the Rinnegan, but also the capability to activate Tenseigan Chakra Mode, complete with truth-seeking orbs. This mode significantly enhances speed, power, strength, durability, and reflexes, effectively giving the user an unparalleled boost in combat.
Adding to its already impressive array of abilities, the Tenseigan also bestows reincarnation skills, making it a highly sought-after kekkei genkai.
But What About Other Kekkei Genkai?
While other Kekkei Genkai like those offered by the Uzumaki clan or the Wood Style do hold considerable appeal, they often fall short in comparison to the Tenseigan.
Uzumaki Clan and Kurama
The Uzumaki clan's curve may be a formidable one, with the Kurama providing almost limitless chakra and significant boosts to various stats via Kurama Chakra Mode. Coupled with the ability to summon a giant Kurama avatar, the sheer regeneration and destructive capabilities of the nine-tails' chakra are breathtaking. However, the cons are equally daunting, primarily the requirement to either befriend or beat the nine-tails to achieve these benefits. Additionally, the risk of Kurama coming out and causing destruction if one is too furious or hurt cannot be understated. Given these drawbacks, I believe the Kurama is not the best choice for me.
The Water Massage and Wood Style Kekkei Genkai
The Water Massage kekkei genkai offers some potent abilities as well, including chakra suppression, powerful concussion attacks, and the creation of various wooden structures. The Wood Style is another viable option, providing even more powerful wood-based creations, such as large wooden platforms and intricate wood sculptures. However, the significant amount of chakra required for such creations makes it difficult for an average user to wield these abilities effectively, meaning they may not be as powerful as those with access to Hachibi chakra like Yamato.
Wood Style and Kekkotsuma
The Wood Style is also intriguing. It allows for the creation of wooden structures and plant-based constructs, which can be both defensive and offensive. However, the issue with Wood Style is the reliance on substantial chakra reserves, which limits its practical application for those without the necessary reserves, such as someone from a random clan without Tail Chakra. This makes the Wood Style less appealing unless one is part of a specific family line.
The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan: A Real World Choice
In the real world, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would be the preferred choice due to its unparalleled perception and genjutsu capabilities. The ability to manifest the Susanoo and control Manjuu no Jutsu (Jinton) with superb precision could be game changers in various fields, including military, law enforcement, and personal safety. The fire techniques associated with the Emberanth or Kagutsuchi and Amaterasu also provide unique offensive and defensive options.
Conclusion
The decision between a Jinchuriki or a kekkei genkai user is heavily influenced by the advantages and disadvantages of each. If I were to choose, the Tenseigan would be the clear winner due to its comprehensive benefits and limited risks. However, the realm of the Naruto world offers many intriguing options, and the choice ultimately depends on the specific situation and the user's circumstances.
