The ultimate Naruto vs One Piece showdown: A deep dive into the power gap between Six Paths Sasuke and Gear 5 Luffy.
If that title makes you think, āNo way Gear 5 Luffy gets folded by Sasuke Uchiha,ā congrats ā you just entered Crossover Chaos. WhenĀ NarutoĀ starts tossing Six Paths chakra, tailed-beast nukes, and Susanoo forms that look like end-boss summons, theĀ One PieceĀ anime suddenly feels like itās just warming up.
Naruto ShippudenĀ went full mythological in its final arcs ā Team Kakashi drama, Akatsuki chaos, Fourth Great Ninja War, and more. And right at the center of all that madness is Six Paths Sasuke, basically a walking ādelete buttonā whose strongest jutsu would turn the Grand Line into a Grand Crater.
Six Paths Sasuke: TheĀ Naruto Power Gear 5 Luffy Canāt Crack
Let us get the obvious out of the way:Ā Sasuke inĀ Narutoās final-arc version is not the same edgy kid from the early episodes of Naruto. This is Six Paths Sasuke ā the version in which Hagoromo Åtsutsuki personally upgraded like a premium DLC character. He unlocked ā Tomoe Rinnegan, gained Six Paths chakra, and built a Susanoo so huge it makes Kurama look like a house cat.

And whatās the deal with this Susanoo? Luffy canāt break it ā not in Gear 2, not in Gear 4, not even in the rubber-cartoon chaos of Gear 5. This form took hits fromĀ Narutoās Six Paths Rasenshuriken, fought Kaguya-scale threats, and countered attacks that reshaped whole landscapes.
Meanwhile, in One Piece, even the most serious damages we see ā in Marineford chaos, Kaidoās dragon blasts, or recently in God Valley ā are all on a more human, pirate-y scale. Moreover, Sasukeās Susanoo can move on its own, protect on its own, summon powerful weapons, and when it gets serious, it channels Indraās Arrow, a tailed-beastācharged lightning nuke that evenĀ NarutoĀ had to counter with the strongest move ever.
Gear 5 Luffy could punch it, slap it, and cartoon-stretch it ā Susanoo just does not break because its durability comes from a chakra type Luffy has never met. Susanoo would just stand there like, āBro, I fought gods.ā EvenĀ One Piece champions like Kaido, Whitebeard, and Shanks ā whose Haki could shake everyone ā have never faced a fully divine, dimension-tier Susanoo like this.
Narutoās Chakra Gods Operate on LevelsĀ One PieceĀ Canāt Match
Here comes the insane disparity āĀ Narutoās endgame technique not only defeatsĀ One PieceĀ assaults but also operates on a whole different level. The momentĀ Naruto ShippudenĀ reaches the ultimate battle, they unleash divine beings who can easily interact with reality, modify dimensions, and throw chakra from the tailed beasts like it is nothing.

The arsenal of Sasukeās Susanoo alone consists of:
- Indraās Arrow ā A lightning bolt that is backed by all nine tailed beasts, like the strongest chakra sources ofĀ Naruto, mixed into one mighty arrow. When you put this next to Luffyās abilities like Bajrang Gun, the gap is already felt.Ā One PieceĀ is still relying on the physical enhancements and Haki.Ā NarutoĀ is depending on a technically god-tier power.
- Amaterasu ā A never-ending black fire that will keep burning until there is nothing left of the target. Luffyās elastic body does not impede it. Kaidoās armor does not stop it. No character inĀ One PieceĀ has a solution unless they have a magic switch like āturn the fire off.ā
- Kamui Shuriken ā TheĀ Susanoo weaponsĀ that launch the objects they contact into another dimension. Here, it is not about how resistant you are ā it is āblink, and you are gone.ā Haki? Not a factor. Devil Fruits? No use. Toon Force? Perhaps a joke made before getting erased.
These abilities actually appear because the late stage of theĀ NarutoĀ stories goes as far as cosmic battles. On the other hand,Ā One PieceĀ arcsĀ ā even the craziest arcs like Marineford or Wano ā still are based on a strong body, strong Haki, and strong Devil Fruits. They are indeed magnificent but still very much down to earth.
