Yeah more chakra makes them summon more gates not cause they can summon stronger gates.
There's a gigantic difference between introducing a new concept and attempting to retcon an old one with inconsistencies.
It's both. A gate that falters from P1 Kiba's attack is not doing shit to 4T Naruto's Bijuudama, even if you stack a handful of them in a row. Letalone against MAS Madara's Susanoo Bladed Bijuudama. That's a difference of trillions of times (and no that's not a number I picked for emphasis, it's the literal AP difference), if Madara's attack was really just impeded by five P1 Kiba level+ defenses, it would've plown through as easily as if it were cutting through air and hit Hashirama.
This is just referring to it being his jutsu
This is quite far from your analogy, it's not changing the fundamental principle but adding a new component. Besides, a summon being fueled by the user's chakra is an old concept even if it wasn't previously explicitly a strength amp; that's why summons have time limits.
Orochimaru's gate didn't even do shit to the bijuudama so your point does not matter. The bijuudama turned them into dust. And the bijuudama had its trajectory changed after knocking them all on their back so this, again, doesn't matter.
No it is not, it blatantly says it's his gate.
It is changing the fundamental principle when the principle of the jutsu is to teleport someone from point A to point B, but now you're treating living breathing pre-existing creatures as beings fueled by your power. This is a fundamental principle change.
If it is restricted to just "Empowered" Naruto, does it scale to anyone? Or do you mean characters scaling to Boruto?
Both to be honest
Nobody, unless we see one of those all-encompassing statement
You could probably find a way to scale it to Urashiki's Amenowhatever but that would be treated in another thread
Only Boruto and Naruto are affected by the Empowerment. Other forms and characters are not affected.
Would you participate in an upgrade that would only be listed as "via Empowerment"?
I'm not sure if it is consistent yet for that version of Naruto to get that powerful via his emotions. Still thinking about it. It partly feels like an excuse for an inconsistency to say "Well, he's not that powerful all the time. He just made himself 187,000 times more powerful than usual because he felt really strong emotions at the time".
This is weak. The whole point of mental amp/nerfs is that they're usually well above/below the character's regular capability. It doesn't need to be consistent with anything. Sakura is a well-established example of this
And this is just one example
Gaara isn't necessarily being hyper-literal there that the love that Naruto feels literally makes him thousands of times stronger than he would be without that feeling.
This quite literally wasn't a mental amp he learned a new technique and jumped a dude with it.
This is one of the most textbook mental amps in the series, declaring his resolve to protect someone precious to him and performing a feat far above his regular capabilities. There's a reason Naruto doesn't go around summoning 1000 clones all the time, and why he's not chunin level in the LoW/CE other than w Kurama's chakra.
Naruto isn't able to perform that jutsu because he got a power boost from his emotions. He's able to perform that technique thanks to his incredible stamina and chakra:
This is quite literally his first feat in the entire series, it isn't any mental amp, it's literally a showing of how cracked he is
Yeah, because it's dumb and it nukes your chakra too much, even if you do have a lot, a thousand clones isn't light work, plus he doesn't always need to do it.
In the exact same arc you mentioned, the "suppressed Haku" was above chunin level and rookie Sasuke with his first day out the house skill was superior to him, and Naruto was on his level in the literal next arc
The closest we have to an example of this is Pain thinking Naruto got a power-up in Sage Mode after Minato fixes the seal again and even then the increase wasn't something that was huge, he still went high diff for the W.
Wasn't even a power up bro was surprised that he gained some balls and he thought because he quickly swapped out (due to the seal) he thought that he mastered Kurama
I never said that. I said the reason he was able to summon SO MANY clones was because of his emotions
A level of crackedness that he doesn't display again for a good while
He doesn't always need to do it, but it's not a case of using his trump card conservatively, he only ever uses it against Mizuki, Gaara (where he has a whole flashback about the power of friendship), and arguably Kimimaro (when he had Kurama's chakra). He gets nowhere close to 1000 in other situations, when it would be quite helpful (e.g. Haku, Neji, Sasuke).
No, suppressed Haku is not above chunin level. The only statements we get about his power are of his FP self being above Zabuza/Kakashi, a level LoW Sasuke isn't even in the same conversation as.
It's not as if Mizuki is just vaguely in the chunin tier anyways. He scales to Iruka who's a high level chunin, and is arguably even jonin level. Iruka was assigned to knock out a far stronger than chapter 1 Naruto + Sasuke + Sakura (and Team 7 seems to agree he could've done it), and Naruto doesn't even consider himself surpassing Iruka until P2. Pretty clear Pre-LoW Naruto's not on his level.
No, when mental amps exist there's usually a pretty clear indicator of it from dialogue/context (although some of the feats on his profile are indeed mentally amped situations, but I digress).
If that's the case, then why would they each get half the rating? Wouldn't it make more sense to give each of them the full rating, but specify it can only be done by combining their powers into this one attack?
I mean it'd be important for a team match
It's true boss
She was not amping Katsuyu. Katsuyu's mechanic and Katsuyu's mechanic alone is that she takes the user's chakra to heal others, using her body as a wireless conduit so that the user doesn't need to physically be there for her patients.
Let's not justify that as only Katsuyu's mechanism. Iirc, there has not been any manga statement to even justify it.
Something no other user has ever done.
It's literally it's own Jutsu.
What jutsu is that?
And this proves what I said.
