Remember when Rinnegan can repel tailed beast shots, create meteor, summon multiple beasts, shoot missiles out of user’s ass, turn arm into mega cannon, rip someone’s soul out, absorb jutsu, summon the king of hell? Sasuke used none of that shit
If we’re being honest, even if the writers aren’t literally nerfing Naruto and Sasuke, they’re really just intentionally making them weaker than they should’ve become by adulthood just b/c they’re too lazy to properly entertain all the possibilities. Naruto should have several Kekkei Genkai mastered by now due to the Nature Releases he got from the other Bijuu’s Chakra. He could maybe have even had Gaara teach him his Sand Style, which he could’ve easily gotten from Shukaku. Mei could help him with Boil and Lava Style, as could Kurotsuchi with the latter. He could’ve learned Wood Style too and had Yamato train him, which would’ve been an enormous gamechanger. Also if he got himself implanted with Sasuke or Madara’s cells he could even have maybe grown a Rinnegan himself. That’d take an enormous amount of responsibility off of Sasuke’s shoulders b/c he wouldn’t be the only human Rinnegan user in the world anymore.
Conversely Sasuke should also have gotten a Hashi cell arm and Wood Style, and he should’ve mastered all Six Paths, been able to use the Black Rods, maybe even be able to use Limbo. But instead all he uses the Rinnegan for is to teleport or the thing where he swaps places with someone. Hell, why hasn’t he learned all of Itachi’s Genjutsu? Dude only uses Amaterasu and Susano’o, you telling me it wasn’t even worth *trying* Tsukuyomi on the Otsutsuki, who’ve found themselves susceptible to Genjutsu before?
You know the writing is off when you have to come up with this many excuses. Sasuke is my favorite character, even I can see he was done extremely dirty.
PAIN uses them on Hinata L, Obito against Konan and also during his Kakashi fight, Madara with one eye immobilised Tobirama with the rods and then we have dear old Sasuke, damn with rods that disrupts an opponents chakra, you would think he’d at least attempt using them.
Soooooo much wasted potential for naruto n sasuke in boruto. Naruto could have just connect with the other 8 beasts like b4, and sasuke…. The only skills i remember are swapping n teleporting.
Why should he? The rods mainly paralyze the opponent while sasuke always tries to go for the kill.
As for his other abilities, everything is fodder besides his teleporting.
The strongest ability of the rinnegan is chibaku tensei and momoshiki broke out of it with no diff, the other abilities can either be tanked(like the ashura path missiles) or just flat out resisted (a fatigued kcm 1 naruto resisted his soul being pulled out by edo nagato) and the animal path is completely useless.
As for his chakra, he’s constantly using space-time ninjutsu to travel dimensions while it took sakura (who’s been saving chakra for 3 to 4 years) and obito (who had six paths left from the juubi) to barely open one.
In the time travel arc urashiki didn’t just take a bit of sasuke’s chakra, he took most if not all of it with his hax fishing rod and sasuke never properly rested to replenish his chakra but still was the reason boruto and the others survived.
When he lost his rinnegan to borushiki, the anime made it look like he sensed borushiki while in the manga he didn’t turn around (it makes sense since the otsutsuki’s has the ability to nullify their chakra signature)
Fun fact sasuke used his swapping technique to make himself a meat shield protecting Sakura and boruto . He could’ve used the susano but nope meatshield it is .
Another fun fact is that sasuke is beyond nerfed more than naruto .
Ah yes Mr Rinnegan that rarely uses the Rinnegan abilities except for teleporting.
After those punches from Naruto in the Final Valley? I wouldnt remember it too honestly
Sasuke would create one black rod and be outta chakra for days afterwards
Someone commenting on another post pointed out that creating black rods are actually an ability you get from using the gedo statue

Big brain Sasuke, touted as a genius but cant seam to remember that his rinnegan has more than one ability
Nobody will ever be a better rinnegan user than pain. Change my mind.
Ah the Black Rods that always pierces enemies but somehow dodges vital organs
Ah yes, the man that forgot the other Rinnegan abilities exist after his fight with Naruto.
Fun fact: Saskue uses rods on Sakura.
And now he never will!
I understand that Animal path and rocket cyborg path are useless against aliens. Put I wish we saw more pulling or pushing in boruto.
This is not Sasuke, this is NERFED Sasuke
Sasuke in boruto embodies the “boss character after unlocking them” trope
Would’ve been cool to see him wield a sword made from the material
i forgor
This show has gone stupid. Can’t believe what’s happening

There is a black rod dangerously close to his dick……

Rinnegan more like rinnegone
He’s gonna blame his missing arm which he chose to not get it even in an emergency like this because sentimental
They only work on someone who is weaker , using it against a stronger opponent it pretty much useless , and that all what sasuke fought
#nerfed
Fun fact: Sasuke is nerfed
Ask sakura. Maybe his *rod* power is weak
Soooooo much wasted potential for naruto n sasuke in boruto. Naruto could have just connect with the other 8 beasts like b4, and sasuke…. The only skills i remember are swapping n teleporting.
Dude can time travel but can’t use black rods.
Why should he? The rods mainly paralyze the opponent while sasuke always tries to go for the kill.

U need to be connected to the Gedou Mazo somehow or be an ohtsutuski for that
He doesn’t utilize shit from the Rinnegan.
Even Isshiki used it and he don’t have rinnegan
Hopefully they are saving something for sasuke and sakura in the Boruto because they are really doing sasuke bad
That’s what happens when you give a rinnegan to a genin
So why doesn’t he just use other abilities to block the rods?
Oh yea I love it when you utilize that black rod on me
See Sasuke is an advanced character. Instead of using them on the enemy, enemies use the rods on him. We can’t comprehend his genius
He actually did but only Sakura knows about it
He’s a gary stu. Doesn’t use them because kishi doesn’t want him to use them.
probably because boruto nerfs everyone
That’s coz he wasted em all when he was making Sarada with Sakura
Because the enemy who used it against him doesn’t have a Rinnegan.
It’s been confirmed not to be a Rinnegan power
Fun fact sasuke used his swapping technique to make himself a meat shield protecting Sakura and boruto . He could’ve used the susano but nope meatshield it is .
Another fun fact is that sasuke is beyond nerfed more than naruto .
