hell never locate the original(transformation jutsu if need be), and once he kills a clone they all converge on that location, and brutally murder him. He gets the same treatment that mizuki got.
that adds to his strength how? you still didn't explain that part.
no, its not, or atleast youve yet to prove that.
if naruto's clones can survive shinra tensai then yes they survive/ outright dodge a suiton from zabuza.
still part 1.
yeah cuz they got defeated. kimmi didn't get defeated. heak he wasn't even touched.
he beat iruka's ass.
neither chidori slowed garra down, sasuke needed his sharingan to even see his attacks.
-_- pain couldn't fight them head on and had to resort to shinra tensai. Not to mention why are you talking like rasengan is restricted, or isn't a cqc technique?
how does that take away from naruto's feat? Im not arguing weather naruto tricked him. Im saying that 1000 clones will overwhelm the opponent even if they are stronger. Plothole plot nojutsu call it whatever the fck you want the end result was still the same.
Zabuza would win. Zabuza is better then Naruto in CQC and once he puts up the mist, Naruto isn't gonna be able to find Zabuza, hell even Kakashi still had trouble in the war arc and Naruto will eventually get cut down
