Wow........ some people are truly extreme.
To go claim and say that Sasuke hasnt worked for his powers and to claim Kurama didnt play a part in pain's defeat....
Kurama forced Nagato use Chibaku tensei... something that caused to start having nosebleed and having problems controlling his chakra.
Kyuubi pulled Naruto out of the messy position he was in... a position he couldnt have gotten out of if it wasnt for Hinata triggering Kyuubi's power.
Although the sole point of his argument wasnt to bash on Naruto, but to point out something that you have denied. Kyuubi played a role in the fight against Pain... it pushed Nagato towards his limit. Just accept it already.
And the fact that u jump to the offensive by pointing out that Sasuke was defeated against Bee shows that you are a obvious Sasuke hater. The argument wasnt about who gets saved the most and so on, but that Naruto isnt only about himself, there is a power that lies within him, a power that took him to heights he would have never achieved before. And that is something that Sasuke haters are having a problems with, because all they see is Naruto training and Sasuke getting new eyes.
Sasuke and Naruto have been pretty much equals in every possible sence of the word.
Both have had harsh life, both had their closest person sacrifice their life for them so that they could at some point become even stronger than they should have had. Both
Both were also born with remarkable abilities they gave them the potential to surpass others.
Sasuke was born with the Sharingan and a strong chakra.
Naruto was born with a large chakra pool of his own...
Before you comment, make sure to not underestimate Naruto's chakra pool, it's as usefull to Naruto as the Sharingan is to Sasuke , and again ,this is part 1 im talking about, wait for the rest.
Sasuke is a genius by himself, his strength doesnt only come from his Sharingan and lineage. He was the best and ranked 1st in everything at the academy, he was talented. It's also because he was a great and talent ninja that he had the potential to awake the Mangekyo. Itachi did mention that you need to meet certain circumstances but also have the potential. Why do you think only a handfull of people have the mangekyo??? .... the Mangekyo didnt just pop out.... it was because Sasuke was strong and had the potential to use that power to it,s full potential.
Naruto's chakra pool have shown to be the same as what the Sharingan is to Sasuke. They simply work in different manners, just like Naruto are Sasuke are different themselves.
Sasuke has the quality
Naruto the quantity
Sasuke is able to bring quality to the table quickly
While Naruto works longer in order to achieve the same height.
Do not missunderstand.... both ninjas reach their limits when it comes to training,,, the difference is that Sasuke hits his stamina wall before Naruto, thus Naruto catches on because he can train longer than Sasuke. Naruto works longer because he has a higher stamina pool, while Sasuke runs out of juice and gets stuck for a little, which is why Sasuke was always pissed off seeing Naruto catching up to him because his improvement was less constant than Naruto
Both will reach point A, but Sasuke will reach that point in 20 steps while Naruto will do it in 50. See what i'm saying???
Naruto's chakra pool is as overpowered as Sasuke's sharingan....
Now the all mighty power ups that people complain about
The mangekyo Sharingan.... as i said earlier.... this wasnt such a random powerup.. and obove all, it wasnt somethihg Sasuke did not work for. He worked his ass off and was a genius because of himself and himself alone. Sasuke had the potiental because he was talented. Just like Naruto was able to master Sage mode because he had the potential to do so and he exploited that very potential, he didnt let it rot.
The Eternal Mangekyo and the Kyuubi's full power are the only ''free'' and given powerup they have gotten
These two power ups needed them to be great and talented ninjas but unlike the other power ups, these for the most part would be considered gift.
Sasuke did need to have the Mangekyo himself, something he had to be good to get in the first place. But the action of Itachi giving him his eyes is a gift. When i said free i was merely speaking in terms of power... as Sasuke didnt need to work prior his acquisition of the Mangekyo in order to get EMS, if the eyes were there, he had the opportunity to get it. But a price had to be paid, and a heavy one too, Itachi's life which is the most important bond Sasuke truly had.
Same goes for Naruto... while Kyuubi had been part of Naruto's power all along... he was able to achieve a higher height partially by himself but also needed the intervention of his mother. And the original act required Minato's life to be sacrificed just like it required Itachi to die in order to make Sasuke stronger.
Itachi and Minato did the exact same thing.
Both Sasuke worked hard, Naruto simply had the opportunity to work longer because had more stamina, and it fit his character perfectly he cant assimilate things as quickly as Sasuke because he is simply not as talented. Sasuke's stamina was limited also because he didnt need more of it as he learned quickly
Both had their 'free' powers ups, and both had help to an extent in order to fully use these very power up. If you fail to see such thing after so long... well it's simply because you're too focused on hating or loving one of these characters. Wake the **** up already and stop bashing, you're only making youself look stupid.
