First of all, this wasnt battle, only very short skirmish, and Naruto was forced to help Sakura. So once again... its not like someone helped him to make shadow clone in a blink of an eye and catch that sword. Feat is a feat, and you cant deny that.
I do not care about 'feats' per say, but this battle, however long it lasted had shown naruto's taijutsu abilities, which is nothing great as most ninjas are fairly capable of doing what naruto did himself.
That is non factor here, since Sasukes kunai was alredy coming to Sakuras throath. So its not different from situation with Minato and Tobi.
It is a factor as no one was expecting him to appear. With Tobi, He expected for Minato to save his son, but he did so with such speed that he was praised for his abilities. Naruto was undetected as it came down so he was able to save her without saskue and kakashi knowing. Plus, I believe that while he was running, he was in sage mode to help him speed up.
At that point his enemies had already intel on Naruto, so it was fair. Those strategies were successful becuase blondie simply outsmarted them.
Naruto had assistance in nearly all of his fights. He either had Shikamaru, Kakashi, or Sasuke. All of them are much smarter than Naruto.
Nobody is gonna to but base Naruto against Itachi or Minato, but he surely would be able to defeat Shikamaru. Narutos battle intelligence is much, much better than avarage.
Shikamaru actually has better chances of winning against base mode naruto because he is really that smart. He could think of many strategies and use them to defeat naruto. It all goes back to brains over brawn. In this case naruto isn't all that powerful and isn't very intelligent. Shikamaru, while he isn't all that powerful either, is an analytical genius. He would see through all of naruto's plans and be able to counter accordingly
