Of course not. Naruto was progressively increasing his power and fighting skill as much as Sasuke set the bar. It's a logical behavior. He wanted to save him, not fight him to death. Naturally, Naruto had to give his all since they're generally equal in overall ability. But the key point is that Naruto was fighting on the defensive, not with the intent to kill, unlike Sasuke. And that's the sole reason Sasuke loses points in this case, in my pov.

At Vote 2 Naruto didn't in anyway attack Sasuke but was on defensive all through. This also mean he didn't go all out unlike other battles he had fought.

Dude I don't like Naruto or Sasuke. I can say with absolute non-bias that you and everybody else non-ironically STILL participating in this debate is a loser.

If Naruto wanted, he won't had scratch Sasuke head-band but instead strike his heart but he didn't lol

Sasuke didn't bet the match on that, he was being arrogant/cocky, but that doesn't change the outcome of the battle. O am quite sure Naruto would have preferred to bring back Sasuke, instrad of scratching his forehead XD
I am not downplaying what Naruto did at VOTE1, but he didn't win, for sure.

There's a big difference between changing goals and failing in one but anyway I said what I had to say the rest is up to you.
1.sasuke won
2.inconclusive but naruto would have won there if they clashed.no debate
3.sasuke won
4.inconclusive and naruto was exhausted...however i think sasuke would have won there
5.inconclusive,not even a fight,naruto only rescued sakura and clashed with sasuke`s chidori...had they both been fresh i believe naruto would have won
6.it was a clear draw
i am a naruto fan yet it`s 2:0 for sasuke....one victory was an academy fight and one was in VOTE 1.
if i count hypothetical victories it`s 3:2 for sasuke yet that is debatable....however 2:0 for sasuke is definite

I am not sure that Naruto did it on purpose but, if he did, wouldn't that mean that he made an error in judgement? That doesn't change the fact that he lost, just that he would have been naive.
I actually doubt that Naruto would put his goal, and his promise to Sakura, at risk just to prove that Sasuke was wrong XD it would be ooc of him.

Your confusing what happened, with what his goals were. Sasuke's goal throughout the majority of the manga, was to kill Itachi, to do that he needed power from Oro. In no way was chidori'ing Naruto ever his goal, he was just in the way of his real goal. The Manga makes this clear.
He knew ever since the Uchiha Massacre about that, & it came up as a brief after thought while Naruto was lying unconscious. If he wanted MS. He would have finished the Job after hitting Naruto with Chidori when he got 3T sharingan. Like I said before, His goal was to get power from Oro. Refer back to this post, bringing scans. 2G data is a bit slow .

Actually at first he wanted MS, but he decided to attain power by going to Orochimaru in other to defeat Itachi.

When? Even in Shippuden while fighting Itachi he made it clear he didn't want MS. Since he hated his brother so much

This is correct. Realistically Naruto could have went beyond one tails to stop Sasuke. Due to plot this never happen.
