Like is a similie, similies are
a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more
emphatic or vivid (e.g.,
as brave as a lion,
crazy like a fox ).
Again, get past 9th literature before you reply to my post, and accept Kishi doesn't give a fuck about your stupid headcanon.
First you display you don't know what "like" means, now you're showcasing you don't know what similes are...
Like is not a simile, similes use the words "like" or "as" when making a metaphorical comparison. Kurama is not making a metaphorical comparison, Kurama is comparing two actual individuals.
IE, Luka Doncic's passing game is like Lebron = Not a simile, there is no figurative language being involved. It's a comparison of two individuals
IE, Steph Curry's on a heater is scorching the court like the sun = A simile, where Curry's shooting heater is metaphorically compared to the Sun's heat.
Kurama's statement isn't a simile. He's actually pondering if there are others like Hashirama still around because he viewed Minato to be on Hashirama's caliber.
I would recommend you take that 9th grade enrollment for yourself. However, if you're learning figurative speech only when you reach 9th grade, that alone makes me question the type of education you've received.
The series has been dead for nearly 10 years and we're still trying to compare a low budget Tobirama to the Warring States OGs...
