How is responding to your butthurt post where you bash characters me being butthurt? Lol you can take whoever you want, that's your opinion but it's manga fact that Naruto is stronger as Sasuke said Naruto was himself and that before Naruto got Yang Kurama again to have full Kurama. Yes Sasuke is skilled and powerful himself and is better than Naruto in some things, I'm not denying that but you clearly are with Naruto and Hinata. Take away Kurama and Naruto's base is jounin level and SM with Ma and Pa is Kage level. Take Itachi's eyes and Sasuke is blind and even if you give him his MS then he still will suffer from MS jutsus side effects such as using a ton of chakra, physical pain, weakens his eye sight, and Susanoo aches every cell in his body.Butthurt alert. I take Sasuke>Naruto anyday. Without Kurama Naruto is not on par with Sasuke.
Kakashi with the Sharingan said a Naruto with FRS (about 50% completed) was equal or surpassing him so you can't say Naruto is nothing without Kurama when Naruto clearly is Kage level just like MS Sasuke. SM Naruto beats MS Sasuke as Sasuke can't see or sense natural energy which frog Kata uses, Naruto sense and dodge Amaterasu and Susanoo arrows plus his clones make too many targets who can dodge. Kirin is a target Attack, Ma Pa use wind style dust cloud to cover their location or Naruto use of clones makes targeting a Naruto a probability plus Naruto's SM clone dodged the 3rd Raikage who speed was compared to A's by Naruto's clone and A's speed is lightning fast. Plus Kakashi was said to cut a lightning in half back in part 1 so reacting to lightning is possible for ninjas.
