Watching Naruto fight has only served to remind me how lopsided his combat skills are.

He can either throw waves of ineffective shadow clones at you who can only attack with basic hand to hand combat, or he can try to peg you with one of his OHKO moves.

This unbalanced skillset has led to numerous instances where he can't seem to do anything against his foe. OHKO moves by their very nature can only be used properly as finishing moves during a scripted fight, so more often than not they will never be allowed to hit their intended target.

Alot of characters get caught in this trap where they are either cannon fodder or are godly, and that is a horribly restrictive way to portray a character in a story.


So I'm left with the feeling that Naruto desperatly needs something to round out his general fighting ability, so he can still put up an impressive fight without the moves being so overpowered that he is never allowed to actually hit anybody with it during normal fighting.


I'm not neccessarily talking about a sword or anything, but even just a dagger than he can extend with a chakra wind blade would be an improvement. It would certainly lend itself better to a prolonged fight sequence with Sasuke (with his electrified sword) than any of his other combat abilities.


What do you guys think?

He did look kind of awesome using Asuma's chakra blade in the Sage Naruto vs Sasuke OVA and I know Shikamaru won't use it much or at all so... he could give Naruto one and keep the other

Maybe. I don't think a sword would work. If Naruto needs anything it would have to be along the lines of a battle axe or something along those lines.

i think it would be cool if naruto had that wind shuriekn tech that danzo had against sasuke, if naruto like 100 shadow clones all throwing like 5 of those it would be EPIC!! AND IF ONE MORE PERSON SAYS SASUKE WILL BEAT NARUTO I WILL SLAP A B***H. THE SERIES IS CALLED NARUTO OBVIOUSLY HE WILL WIN!!!
