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?
