That would've made the fight lame. It was a personal 1-on-1 fight
Well a summon is considered a Justu technique and Naruto could have used that to his advantage. Maybe if Naruto was able to stop sasuke then, he wouldn't be tempted to become evil just to get stronger, because Naruto would have proven that you can get stronger by following the right path.
IMO - It was all for the sake of the story to progress forward.
Couldn't the story have still progressed with Naruto and Sasuke helping each other out hunting down akatsuki and orochimaru together? I think they make up a great team both in combat and supporting each other out. I'm tired of Kishimotos best friend becoming rivals then mortal enemies, plot. xd
With Gamabunta he could have defeated sasuke then, so Sasuke wouldn't have been able to join orochimaru. I don't see how Sasuke could have dealt with a giant fighting Toad.
Too much chakra would be used and he couldn't control him. Not a smart idea.
Plot ofc. Naruto was above Sasuke Period. And people thought Sasuke won that battle [it was a tie] If Gamabunta had been there then Sasuke would have been killed U_U
hmm i thoguth naruto had to in part 1 use the kyuubis chakra to summon the Boss toad cause when he tried to use it during the sannin fight it didnt work hmmmm
also plot made naruto stronger at the time whatever happnend to sasuke super speed when fighting gaara it just vanished
