Nice fanfic bro the reason Naruto didn't die against Kakazu was because he was bailed out and Intel against pain. The shadow clones allow Naruto to cover for his deficiencies in combat.

Oops. Looks like Naruto uses them tactically for intel. Like Itachi & Tobirama do, according to you.

As for your contradictory point of Naruto being a cowardly fighter? I can link literally any scan from any Naruto battle in this manga. He literally runs into the fray head-first with his clones.

Stick to a point and argue it otherwise i'm leaving.

What does Naruto say? he needs at least 3 shadow clones to distract Kakazu. Why? because of his deficiency in combat. He can't fight without them is the point I've been banging on about and your ignoring. Why didn't you produce a scan were he was bailed out after he tried his attack using his strategy. Going head on into combat with the cover of shadow clones doesn't make you brave it makes you intelligent but there use covers up for deficiency / cowardice.

Actually you've changed your point 3 times. First he didn't use them tactically, then he was cowardly, and now this confused mix of an argument you're trying to present here. Deficiency is not the same as cowardice. Otherwise Hiruzen, Kakashi and Itachi are all cowardly fighters. Hell, even Sasuke analyses situations, which is what Naruto is doing in this scan.

Naruto uses them as distractions and diversions, not just punching. The fact that he splits his power in half by using them clearly shows that he's distributing his own power, not hiding behind them like as if they were Edo Tenseis. They're all still him.

Naruto is almost stupidly headstrong and could do with being more cowardly more often. All 3 of your strange arguments are clearly bashing and proven wrong by the manga.

Rrally show the pair where I excluded intelligence use. I said primarily combat use to make up for deficiency/cowardice. The rest of your argument is based upon your misreading of everything I've said. Had I solely restricted Naruto's use to a type of combat then you'd have a valid point. If you can kindly show where I restricted his use that would be mich appreciated.

As for your second point Naruto distributes his own power you mean kurama's. And that doesn't negate Naruto's use of them. Kakashi, Itachi and Hiruzen don't use them primarily to assist in combat or to cover up for deficiency so your point is invalid. Naruto ise as feints = kicking/punching/holding is done so because hes deficient in that department. His major use is of shadow clones to cover for his weakness/cowardice. The comparison your trying to make doesn't exist.

Kurenai, she was pressured by a kick when someone came into close quarters.

Neji is the most defensive counter-reactive fighter in the realms of Taijutsu as he always allows his enemy time to come at him with their physical attacks.

Gaara is the most defensive in every other realm.

Pain, Deidara, part 1 Gaara

Although they perfected defence they relied on it too much and it made them look cowardly at times. Kimimaro is an example of someone who can remain defensive without shying away from the opponent.

I couldn't even begin to narrow down a concise argument. Shadow clones are literally user involved and nothing but you? It's such a stretch that Susanoo is more cowardly.

Basically any long range type. I mean they excel at long range. If the enemy closes in they are at a disadvantage. So keeping distance and running away if even for a while is most likely incorporated into their fighting style.

This dude:

His main techniques are the following:
1. Long distance death beam that kills everything, and I do mean everything, it touches without having to ever get close.
2. Flying, mainly used to keep away from the opponent.
3. Going invisible, mainly used to hide from the opponent.
4. Splitting himself, mainly used as a diversion for the opponent.

I forgot to add this guy(back attack) and his dirty moves(as ninja are meant to have). Although we may view them as cowardly I view them as highly intelligent survival is their goal while getting the job done.
