===== 3. Toon-Force Keeps Me Alive Through Things I “Should” Die To =====

Even when Naruto lands blows:
* A lot of his power is blunt, concussive, impact-heavy, which my rubber elasticity mitigates extremely well.
* Gear 5 lets me bend, deform, and bounce in ways that mean clean transfers of energy into my organs are rare.
* Some Rasengans are absolutely still lethal if they connect right, but: - I can see some of them coming (Future Sight). - I can distort my body in some of them. - The environment can do part of the work absorbing them.

So there’s a non-trivial set of runs where:
* Naruto does land big hits,
* But not quite clean enough to put me down instantly,
* And I keep getting back up, stacking damage on him while his chakra and mental focus degrade.
