There's nothing polarizing about it given that Sasuke's development as a ninja when he was 7 is eclipsed by the improvements he's made through Kakashi and Orochimaru. Using this as a decisive piece of evidence is flawed given that a genius's power is also dependent on training and various different factors. Lee and Naruto are congruous with that fundamental principle with Naruto's potential especially skyrocketing after his training with Kakashi even moreso with Jiraiya even though his natural potential remains the same.
Lol, Kakashi only taught Naruto the basic stuff most of the time same as he taught the rest of Team 7. However he paid extra attention to Sasuke for the reasons I mentioned before. And with Sasuke's natural talents and based on what you've been claiming Sasuke should've already been much ahead of Naruto but they weren't and Sasuke always recognized this fact. Now lets compare Jiraiya's training during the chunin arc where Kakshi completely ignored Naruto's training and chose to train Sasuke. While Kakashi built Sasuke's speed and taught him the chidori, Jiraiya undid Oro's seal on Naruto and taught him summoning jutsu. So Jiraiya didn't teach him anything special other than the summoning jutsu which he couldn't use under most situations.
This is very verbose, so I will briefly address this:
1. It actually does. Sasuke was revolted by it, so it's more than likely an indication that Tsunade was wrong. Tsunade surmised that Sasuke did, but in all actuality, she had no grasp of Sasuke's potential. Orochimaru knew of Sasuke's capabilities yet acknowledged that the improvements made was due to his talent as a ninja. These two components are decisive pieces of evidence that leads us to the conclusion that Sasuke did not consume drugs.
No it doesn't. Sasuke was revolted by the idea of going to Oro as well but he did go to him in the end. He was ready to do anything to beat Itachi. Lol, maybe Tsunade didn't know Sasuke's potential which I doubt is the case considering Kakashi must have filled her in with details on Sasuke but okay let say she didn't know. But Sakura knew Sasuke's potential, why was she surprised seeing Sasuke in action and then why she didn't correct Tsunade when she hypothesized the reason behind Sasuke's growth. Okay lets disregard Sakura as well, why didn't Kakashi correct Sakura when she told that Sasuke took enhancement drugs. Surely Kakashi knew of Sasuke's potential, he a genius himself considered Sasuke a lot like him. There are so many holes in your theory that the obvious bias of a Sasuke fan is clearly showing.
Only Oro knew of Sasuke's potential lol while everyone else who knew him for years didn't. Really? That's your logic?
2. Who knows. I'm not keen on explaining this given that it's inexplicable as to how Orochimaru trained Sasuke and trying to debate this will just prolong the argument unnecessarily.
Oh, but this is the most important part of the discussion. What kind of training did Oro give him that he improved so much. The same Sasuke with whom Naruto was keeping up while he was in the village and then he goes to Oro and suddenly there's a gap. If it was training as I explained he could've gained more staying in the village and training with Gai and Kakashi. So I am curious on what type of unique training Oro gave him.
3. Cursed Seal isn't anything like a drug given that it's dependent on the user's power. Drugs such as steroids are evidently used to bolster's one's improvements beyond normal means which was not the case with Sasuke as explained before. The Cursed Seal supplements Sasuke with power by enabling him to exhaust even more chakra at a given time, but it does not induce significantly greater growth beyond normal means. His rate of maturation was solely based on his own training and potential, not on drugs.
It is, its kind of an enzyme I guess that Oro injected into Sasuke. And CM ofc did improve Sasuke's abilities beyond normal means lol. Your reasoning if flawed again. CM enables the user to use NE. Now compare Naruto in base mode with SM Naruto you'll have your answer, ofc CM is nowhere close to SM though. Well Ninjas train and grow to get stronger and CM made Sasuke stronger. It was a shortcut, just the thing he was looking for at the time.
I'm not sure why you deliberately misconstrued the argument I proposed.
My point was that shinobi have exhibited greater growth depending on their teacher and this was explicitly shown with Kakashi and Jiraiya even though Naruto does not consume drugs. Given this, Sasuke's erratic rate of maturation isn't indicative of Sasuke consuming drugs as Orochimaru could've elicited even more tremendous growth and he certainly could given that Orochimaru's prestige as a Sannin entails greater experience and Orochimaru's repertoire and vast knowledge eclipses Kakashi's as well.
Orochimaru simply had more to bring to the table than Kakashi did.
So lets do the math again. While Sasuke and Naruto were in Konoha training under the same teacher, both of them were keeping up with each other. I guess Sasuke's natural abilities were sleeping at the time
. After that both go to train under a Sannin and then suddenly Sasuke comes out much stronger. When you say Oro as a sannin had a lot more to bring to the table you forget that Naruto was also training with a Sannin of equal caliber. So I didn't misinterpret anything its just that your arguments are flawed or biased.
Oro tempts Sasuke with powers like CM and then Sasuke just goes and trains under him...
yep that makes real sense...to a Sasuke fan ofc.
