It was said that six years have passed between the two pics you posted
Noticed this.. Alot can change in 6 years.

Three years earlier...Naruto was whipped by Kakashi with just one hand in combat and one hand reading a book while Team 7 trained....now 3 years after...he is strong enough to take on Sage-EMS-Edo Madara.
