If Naruto didn't have Kurama

[Itachi Uzumaki]

Naruto would be killed by Haku in part 1

 

[narut2]

Wait, how wouldn't have Kushina and Minato been dead? How else were they going to get rid of the Kyuubi? Minato was low on chakra reserves and Kushina... self explanatory.

If Naruto didn't have the Kyuubi, he would have already been dead from their first mission protecting Tazuna due to the poison.

Did you really read this thread?

Lmao...wouldn't have met jman...you are trippin bro...jman is his godfather. It was destiny for him to train naruto.

 

[Codawg]

Naruto is the son of his best student and Jiraiya also "choose" the name Naruto
Im sure he would meet him

Well, he was his godfather as well so more than likely xD who knows how things would turn out though *shrugs*

No, he wouldn't have been dead. Kakashi almost removed the poison. Its just that kurama accelerated the recovery as always.

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

Not as strong but still top! He'd have FTG, Space-Time Barrier, Chakra Chains, and Sage mode for sure...being the son of the Hokage and being able to go on the Hokage's quarters he probably would've gotten into the scroll to at least learn shadow clone...

 

[gas83091]

if he didn't have kurama that means minato would never had sacrificed himself

he'd learn from minato meaning FTG!! imagine a FTG RS you'd never be able to dodge it, he'd have a 1 hit KO

 

[Naruto is on Narutobase]

If naruto didn't have kurama
i bet he would be in the anbu around the age of 20

Actually, Team Minato was a catalyst to everything that happened now. That's the whole point of Kakashi Gaiden. If they hadn't existed, shit changes. Read chapter 500-505, Kishi is not waste his time portraying that. The point is Naruto would still be considered a skilled Shinobi, with or without Kurama. But kishi didn't just pull this out of his ass, he wrote that way.

 

[ForbiddenUzumaki]

He wouldnt be fodder but I cant see him in the top 10 without BM.

He would probably surpass Minato and since he apparently makes the top 10, why wouldn't Naruto?

Obviously if I am asking a question pertaining to a statement that was made.

Excuse me, that is a fault on my end. But I'd wager he would have been dead against Neji during the Chuunin Exams.

 

[Draphsin]

It's hard to say really :/ Given if he didn't have Kurama he probably would have not been through half the things he currently has, and might not have been taught a lot of what he already knows...can only speculate

this, we have no idea how the events would play out if kurama wasnt part of naruto, its kinda pointless to sit here and guess

For all we know Minato could have thought him some cool jutsu like FTG or Rasengan and that would help Naruto more early on.
He could have long surpassed evreyone in his class by the time he should start attending the academy





specualtion ofc...

 

[slaton02]

He'd be dead
vs Haku
lost to Kiba
f'd up vs neji

Sasuke stay in the village thanks to Naruto not being on his lvl

Lee defeats Gaara and probably win the chuunin exams thnx to plot not having Naruto defeat Gaara.

lots of change without Kurama

If that's how you see it, that's fine. From what I'm seeing, it's different. If this whole Kakashi-Rin-Obito conflict did not exist, that means Kushina would still harbor Kurama. Minato still exists being able to teach Naruto ninja skills like how Fugaku and Itachi taught Sasuke.
However, it would kinda throw off his characterization.

For me it would be annoying, because if Naruto dreams to become a Kage, that means he is just following Minato's steps. We expect him to be Kage because of his father. This canonical scenario is different, his dream of being is his own choice and not anyone else's. Kishimoto tries to portray that he is not going get to his dream because of lineage or talent. He will do it through determination and hard work. But that's just my two cents.

I laughed when I read "Naruto is a gifted failure".
Back to work, If Naruto didn't have Kurama then
1] The series would no longer be called as NARUTO
2] Akatsuki wonn't be chasing him.
3] He won't be focused too much.
4] He would have been a smart a**, the way Sasuke was called in the academy class famous among the girls.
5] Sakura or Hinata would have been his date from the start.
6] No rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke, because Naruto would act with Sasuke the same away Sakura reacted to Sasuke (about not having parents and stuff) during their team formation.
7] The group would be then like Kakashi (Naruto), Obito (Sasuke) and Rin (Sakura)

If there's anything, just add in it.

You still focused on the points which Naruto faced when Kurama is a part of him. Those things won't happen in the first place (say Sage mode) because Pa will never take Naruto to Myoboku to learn sage mode in the first place since there won't be any connection between Jiraiya and Naruto.

 

[Xlad]

Wow, more people are voting "fodder." How are we suppose to know what will happen?

I mean, why did Kishimoto even illustrate this picture? What was he conveying to us?

You must be registered for see images

What's the whole purpose of it?

I for one didn't say Naruto would still be a skilled Shinobi cause I like him. I based off of what was shown in the pages and I come up with a conclusion based off of what Kishi writes.

Maybe this image is showing the life of Naruto in his movie Road to Ninja.

Yes but you failed to realize that the Kyuubi and Obito still attacked Konoha. After fighting Tobi, Minato was at the end of his chakra pool, and whether or not he sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto, he would still be dead. Unless we're omitting this scenario in which I glance over and once again that would be a fault of my own in which I'd have to excuse.

If that's how you see it, that's fine. From what I'm seeing, it's different. If this whole Kakashi-Rin-Obito conflict did not exist, that means Kushina would still harbor Kurama. Minato still exists being able to teach Naruto ninja skills like how Fugaku and Itachi taught Sasuke.

But the topic poster didn't state all of this, just if the Kyuubi wasn't sealed within Naruto. Now if we altered the timeline so that the Kyuubi and Tobi doesn't attack altogether, then my answer would probably change.

On second thought, no it wouldn't have changed. Naruto has been alive for how many years now? And he knows a total of like 4 ninjutsus: Rasengan (variants), Kage Bunshin (variants), Henge no jutsu, and Kuchiyose no jutsu (there is Oiroke, but...). Kuchiyose, he almost never uses, so eliminate that and we have 3. Half, if not more, of the Rasengan variants, he can use because of the Kyuubi, so that also severs the list. He didn't even become really tactical with Kage Bunshins until Kakashi told him about its use.

My point is, he has been alive for so long and hasn't learned any jutsus really, and his fighting style took forever to become adequate (and it is still kind of crappy now). So why would I believe that had the Kyuubi not been festered within him, things would be different. Yeah, I think he still would have been dead from his bout with Neji, but that's just my opinion.
