In a way it is. Especially!, kurama

Massive amount of given chakra
gives you a boost to basically everything
Gives you durability
isnt hard to get only by learning its name(something naruto could have done in part 1)
Doesnt require hard work to obtain other than KCM

The other bijuu are debatable but kurama is fcking OP and it was only half!

A "free power up" is something given to you instantly in exchange for nothing, so, considering Naruto was forced to give up his mom, dad, and a normal life (from birth) and it took 16, almost 17 years to gain control of Kurama's power and even longer to earn his friendship to unlock his full capabilities, Kurama's power was an incredibly difficult thing for him to acquire and therefore can not be considered a "free power up"

??? What? they chose that, not him

Agreed. Don't listen to what others say, naruto didn't ask anyone to put kurama in him. He was made jin when he was a baby. And people forget that if kurama gets extracted naruto dies.

Naruto fans think all of the tail beasts isn't a free power up but Itachi eyes are a free power up
#doublestandards

Oh is that what I said? No, Sasuke had to bust his ass to get to the level he was at when he fought Itachi, I could say that he didn't deserve them because he didn't defeat Itachi, Itachi defeated himself and Sasuke just took his eyes, like taking the head of your dead foe who cut his throat because you convinced him he was fighting on the wrong side after he pummeled you nearly to death, dishonorable? yes, but did you do something to earn the kill? also yes

It's in the DNA before he was born

Yet not all Uchiha awaken sharingan. Sasuke was like what 7 before he awoke his eyes? Meanwhile Naruto had his since 30 ish minutes after his birth.

Edit:

I somewhat consider it a free one, what did Kakashi have to give up for it? Obito was already "dying" when he gave him his eye.

Sasuke wasn't born with the sharingan, is that a free power up for him?

How did I know that someone was gonna bring up Sasuke from my post? It's like people don't know how to discuss one character without the other. *sigh*

To answer your question, no. Sasuke was born an Uchiha, and all Uchiha are born with the ability to awaken the Sharingan. It doesn't take another being forced in your body to use that ability, it's completely natural for them to obtain the Sharingan. It's been in Sasuke's DNA and all his ancestors for a long time. The same is not the case with Naruto and his ancestors. Therefore Kurama is a free powerup by that definition. It depends how you look at it.

Why is being born with something not a gift? Geniuses are born as geniuses, they didn't do anything to become one, and yet we don't judge them for being born with good genes. In all honesty, this gift thing is just ridiculous.

You are butthurt.Reality fact
You have the insults of a 12 year old COD player, that's a fact.

1, 2, and 3 are true, but what does learning his name have to do with anything? and I'm pretty sure becoming a bijuu's friend isn't anywhere near easy

Most only say that because Sasuke fans complain about Kurama.
