Guys, his damage is mostly tai. Almost everybody is built to defend against nin right now.

He selfstacks, he dodges, he reduces cd, has an op bond skill and he also has a mystery that delivers REPULSE damage (that for who doesn't know it may mean that you select one clone in front of somebody and who is behind gets obliterated since many clones/puppets have very low defensive stats). What do you want more than this?

Ah and add to it that he is senjutsu, konoha, edo tensei and jinchuriki.

Do you think it's a problem if he doesn't selfheal because you need the other chase to reduce cd?

Fine, use him together with any leaching tai effects (there are quite a bunch) or use him together with edo roshi or with edo hashi or with sage naruto skill trialed, there are so many options with him...
