Who do you think has had more close calls in their own fights? Naruto or Sasuke?

[SusanooKyuubi]

I'm trying to list out examples equally for both characters but I got more for Sasuke than Naruto.

These are not in any order, just off the top of my head.

Naruto's close calls:

Spoiler

1. Pain stabbing his hands with a rod and cutting off his chakra. Hinata intervenes and Naruto taps into Nine tails power
2. Pain using planetary devastation to seal eight tails Naruto. Landmass not large enough.
3. Kakazu nearly killing him more than once in their short confrontation. Was saved by Yamato and shadow clones.
4. Kurama nearly controlling Naruto during his training in Turtle Island and Pain arc, parents had to save them.
there is probably more...

Sasuke's close calls:

Spoiler

1. Nearly blown to pieces by Diedara's final work of art. Suigetsu's just in time summoning saved him.
2. Itachi nearly burned him to death with Amaterasu. Copying Orochimaru's Jutsu was a life saver.
3. Ran out of Chakra while facing Itachi's Susanoo. Itachi was near death and was still a somewhat good brother.
4. Orochimaru nearly takes control of his body and fulfills his plan. Itachi saves him.
5. Killer Bee stabs him 6-7 times at once, and leaves him with a life threatening gash, Karin and Jugo come to the rescue.
6. Killer Bee and Gyuki almost blow up Taka with a Tailed Beast Bomb, Suigetsu intervenes just in time.
7. The fourth Raikage almost crushes Sasuke and doesn't give a damn about his burning left hand, Gaara interfers.
8. The combination of an attack from Temari, Gaara, Darui, and maybe Kankuro hits him. Susanoo powers barely surface.
9. Sasuke goes blind in the middle of confrontation with his former teammates, two of the three ready to kill him. Obito and Zetsu arrive.

So who cuts it close in battle? And are there any examples I missed? (I didn't take part one into account.)

I'm definitely sure I missed many close calls for both.

 

[ANiMUS]

Definitely Sasuke. The dude is reckless

 

[sharingan7]

Throughout the entire series Naruto...in shippuden sasuke.....remember how reckless Naruto was as a kid and how many times kurama chakra saved him. Don't forget about when sasuke almost killed Naruto in shippuden or when nagato could have killed him

 

[Dantee]

Sasuke had more close calls I guess. Naruto always had the fox but Naruto has been saved the most.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

Sasuke by far,the dude would've died a long time ago if plot did'nt shield him.

 

[sharingan7]

If it wasn't for kurama Naruto would have died a long time ago

 

[ILikeChicken]

Slowpoke ist fast in mind again.

 

[sharingan7]

Naruto would've died the first episode if iruka didn't save him...

 

[TrollKing]

You should use "plot" better.

1. Suigetsu had a signal to summon Manda, Sasuke was already inside, it only mattered when it was summoned
2. I don't see using a substitution as a life saver, Sasuke had said he was ready to use it when Itachi activated Amaterasu
3. Itachi was never going to kill Sasuke so that's a no.
8. That's just... lol no sorry, he had been manifesting Susano'o that entire time, he only revealed it right then
9. Sasuke was about to kill Kakashi, Naruto said that he wasn't strong enough at the time to beat him and Sakura is Sakura

For Naruto you could say all the confrontations with Itachi, but Itachi never wanted to kill him either so kinda but not really.

Close call for Sasuke was when the curse mark stopped him from moving when he fought Danzo, probably the closest he's had.

8. and 9. shouldn't be there since zetsu and obito did not save him, he matched kakashi and naruto and handled sakura neg diff

Naruto was saved by Jiraya from itachi and kisame
Naruto was saved by orochimaru when sasuke was about to kill the new team 7 with kirin and orochimaru tells him not to use that jutsu
Sasuke saves naruto from infinite tsukoyami
Itachi saved naruto from edo Nagato
Rubber Man saved naruto from 3rd raikage spear tech
Neji saved naruto from the juubi
Neji and hiashi saved naruto from juubi tail


Clearly naruto was saved many more times than sasuke and anyone else

 

[Da Best Ever]

You deliberately put more of sasuke close calls when you know damn well naruto has 3 times as many close calls as anyone.

 

[Senju Bean]

So much for Sasuke being calm and analytical.

He is hotheaded and impulsive.

1. I disagree with that, Sasuke was blind and could not use any of his sharingan techniques he had been spamming up to that point. Though Kakashi or Naruto would have killed while facing him, he wouldn't have made it out alive in a 2 v. 1.

2. Itachi was a spy in the Akatsuki, he avoided confrontation with the same reason he had when facing Sasuke.

3. That was a clone.

I couldn't think of any and I barely followed the war arc
