You must not realize how counter-productive your comment is. The more you downplay Sasuke for supposedly recieving help, the worse Naruto looks considering he always recieved more help. What battles has Naruto won on his own throughout the entirety of the series?
Nature energy was stated to be an external power source.

Didn't mention the boost Naruto recieved via Kyuubi yet highlight the boost Sasuke recieved through his own effort. Mentions Naruto being tired from previous battles, yet deosn't do the same for Sasuke who participated in those same battles.

By borrowed you mean external power sources?
Sasuke
1) Curse Seal
2) Orochimaru's power
3) EMS
4) Half the Sage's power
Naruto
1) Yang Kyuubi
2) Nature energy
3-10) Bijuus 1-8's chakra
11) Half the Sage's power
12) Yin Kyuubi
13) Hashirama's arm
If you want to include small temporary boost then we can add Jugo's Senjutsu, Bijuus 1-9 chakra for Sasuke and every single instance where Naruto recieved a power boost from the Kyuubi from vs Haku-the war. I don't want to count that far.
We may aswell remove Orochimaru's power and Nature energy since they acquired those themselves. Although their were times when Naruto recieved NE via Kyuubi like the Final Battle. This can also be added to the list of times they recieved a boost.
We could also discuss how Sasuke has always had less teachers than Naruto throughout the series yet was always more versatile.
Sasuke's teachers.
1) His Father (should he really be counted? All he did was show him the Fire Ball technique. Which Sasuke then spent learning & mastering on his own.
2) Academy instructors (just gonna count all them as one, same as Naruto below)
3) Kakashi
4) Orochimaru
Naruto
1) Academy instructors
2) Kakashi
3) Ebisu (if you're going to count Sasuke's Father than we should count Ebisu since he showed Naruto how to walk on Water. Except he actually spent some time with him afterwards unlike Fugaku)
4) Jiraiya
5) Yamato
6) Fukusaku
7) Bee
8) The Hachibi
Is that why he stated he needed the Kyuubi's chakra to fight him after hearing about what happened at the Summit and facing Sasuke himself?

Slightly better? You must have forgotten all the benefits the Kyuubi gave Naruto. Especially with cooperation & you must have forgotten what Naruto's Sage Power Up came with, something which Sasuke's didn't.
Really? Was it like this?

As i said earlier, the more you people downplay Sasuke for supposedly receiving help/actually receiving help, the worse Naruto looks since he recieved alot more.
Naruto's Sage Power Up came with, "The Universal Comprehension of all things".

Sasuke didn't recieve instant knowledge nor mastery of his abilities. He had to learn how to use, develop, & master them through battle & training. He greatly did so.
Their mission was to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, even by force if needed. They failed. Sasuke defeated Orochimaru and Deidara without any help as an someone gives him their assistance like Naruto and Sasuke did with Kakashi in the first encounter against Zabuza. Danzo was also on the verge of death when Karin healed Sasuke.
Karin healed him before the battle, as Sasuke did not want to fight Danzo in an exhausted state. That's not recieving assistance during the battle. Besides, wouldn't an exhausted Sasuke vs Danzo be a non-proper battle? Also, once Karin figured out Izanagi she began to explain it to Sasuke, who quickly cut her off and said the rest himself.
While being in the midst of battle he figured it out even faster than her even though she just watched from the sidelines. Furthermore, Karin shouted out bad advice, whilst Sasuke ignored since he knew she was wrong. Having already formed a good strategy himself. Which led to his victory.

Strange how you actually misinterpeted this even though things were clearly shown and stated in a small period of time.
You're so desperate. If you're going to count the Curse Seals stages seperately then do the same for all of Naruto's Bijuu related transformations.
- Given the Yang Kyuubi by Minato
- Initial Kyuubi mode
- Tails 1-8
- KCM
- BM
- BSM
- Bijuus 1-8 chakra
- RCM with all the Bijuus chakra
- Given the Yin Kyuubi from Minato during the War when he lost the Yanh Kyuubi.
- Recieved the Yang Kyuubi after the war
- and ofcourse his base had been constantly amped by the Kyuubi since birth
Karin didn't give Sasuke her healing powers. She simply used it to heal him. Sakura healed multiple times aswell. If you're going to factor in healing then you should also include all the times the Kyuubi healed Naruto, which is countless considering he's been doing it since his birth. During training, battle, anytime Naruto exerted energy, the Kyuubi's power leaking into Naruto helped heal him quicker.
He didn't recieve Hashirama's cells - Kabuto used what he learned of it to heal him IIRC. Naruto actually recieved an arm made of his cells.
If you're going to count Hebi's support then count all the people who helped Naruto. He recieved the help of a whole army division against the Edo Raikage for example.
You even counted using TSB as footing...
Can you post a page of Sasuke using drugs from Orochimaru?
It lasted that long because Sasuke kicked their asses quickly. Naruto didn't due the same to those Cloud Ninja.
Which isn't that impressive considering he's been powering Naruto up from birth due to Minato setting the seal so his chakra leaked out and mixed with Naruto's.
