Mei absolutely obliterated Sasuke with that Lava Release, and I was honestly floored by how easily she just overpowered him. It really brought home for me how much Sasuke had underestimated a Kage's true strength, especially after all his recent power-ups, and for a terrifying second, I thought he was genuinely done for. This confrontation felt like a brutal wake-up call to his hubris, a stark reminder that sheer raw power isn't enough against seasoned leaders.
