This in a theoretical sense, as Ketsugo was once able to temporarily immobilize the great Sage to outwit him enough to challenge Zenzō. Therefore, ending the battle that would have ended Ketsugo's young life decades ago. However, since Ketsugo managed to gain Zenzō approval by tradition and culture, the fighting elephant too was forced to submit. Even though the Sage followed tradition, his personality and leadership style has gone unquestioned.

After all, Zōnotatakai also respects the strength Ketsugo has as a shinobi.
