Where exactly do you see Naruto's hand moving at the last second lol. It was the at the same level and Sasuke probably did turn his chidori in to a fist but it still did make a direct contact and thus did more damage than the Rasengan to the headband did to Sasuke.False. Sasuke didn't go for Naruto's neck they both moved their hand at the last moment and because of that instead of Naruto dying he was out cold. Hell in that scan you can clearly see Sasuke turning his Chidori into a punch so it wouldn't pierce Naruto.
You keep saying Sasuke was going for the kill but he wasn't at the end of it all Sasuke didn't want to kill Naruto and be a pawn for Itachi.
In the end both Naruto and Sasuke didn't want to kill/injure each other and be it attacking somewhere else or doing something completely doesn't change that Naruto and Sasuke said they spared Naruto.
Again check the scan, it doesn't make sense for Naruto to target the area above the headband when all of Sasuke's face was available for the Rasengan. You should read VoTE 1 fight again, Naruto specifically targeted the headband cuz Sasuke challenged him that Naruto won't be able to put a scratch on it.
Well he said Naruto had no control over his will which is definitely not the case, Naruto was fully conscious and could've easily summoned Gamabunta if he wanted to.
Well I think he's right sort of. When Naruto had that cloak yea he was conscious but Kurama's chakra was also fighting on its own will also.
