im completely agree! i was just trying to use an example where he didnt use it and won a major battle. if it wasnt for the kyuubi naruto would never of been able to master the kage bushin no jutsu with out a doubt...he would of just been just as useless as the rest of the ninja that graduated the academy that werent on teams 7 8 and 9, but if you think bout it all of those teams there is something that stands out the most out of all of them...the blood lines, the specialities, and inner demons obviously have something to do with it...there wouldnt be a series at all if naruto never had kyuubi because he wouldnt of been such an outcast the series would of been called sasuke and would be about avenging your family or honor or something along the lines. plus its not just the kyuubi that has let naruto get this far its also the fact that he never gives up and never takes no for an answer sure hed be dead if it wasnt for the enormous power of kyuubi inside of him but its also his ninja way that keeps him going not to mention his way of turning people to his way of thinking...a couple of examples would be zabuza and nagota (or pain)!yea he did but naruto would have never made it that far if it wasnt for the kyuubi
I can throw those words right back at Sasuke. Sasuke wouldn't have been able to do all that crap he did to Naruto without the cursed seal. As we can see from the battle at the top of the hospital, Naruto and Sasuke were pretty evenly matched. If it was a fair match, without the use of the kyuubi and cursed seal, theres no telling who would win between Naruto and Sasuke.i agree with maxpaynner cuz if he didnt have the kyuubi sasuke would have killed him at the valley of the end. he gave him a chidori threw the chest. and gave him a pile driver from the top of the cliff and both of those times the kyuubi healed naruto and told him he was weak and to be greatful for the 4th of sealing him in naruto. and on top of all that sasuke still won naruto is whack
