Re: Try calling Naruto a "dumb idiot" now...
Invasion of Pein arc strategies( creating clones before hand, tendo defeat), battle with Neji. Figuring out sage mode was Obito Jin weakness. Decoy of Rasenshuriken clone during Pein fight, and so many more. Naruto is an awesome battle strategist.
to add something else to your post

fight against 3rd raikage to go sage mode to counter his speed and defense, asking 8tails for advise and then to come up with a plan is also counted as strategy. And the fight against kakuzu, he analyzed the situation perfectly to come up with something to hit him with his rasenshuriken too.
And answer for the one saying naruto get's carried by sasuke:
So yeah, naruto can come up with decent strategies. His sexy no jutsu did surprise them which made him hit kaguya in the end. So it did work, but wont work again. His ways of comming up with a strategy is just different and unpredictable but in the end it does work.
I'm not a naruto or sasuke fan that much, but anyone saying naruto can't come up with a strategy or is just too stupid or cant do anything without sasuke is the dumb person imo.
