Has anyone considered that for the greater part of the series Naruto hasn't been allowed to be on his own? When he was young he was basically confined to the village. Once he became a genin he was only allowed out of the village because Kakashi or Jiraiya was always with him. Even when Kakashi was out of commission Yamato was assigned as captain specifically to restrain his jinchuriki powers. Later on the elders argued that he should once again be confined to the village so that people could always keep tabs on him. Even when he was sent to the turtle island he had a battalion of people watching over him.
Its not really that he doesn't fight people on his own, its more that he is very rarely actually allowed to be on his own. The only time has been was against pain and that time he fought and defeated a rinnegan user. Besides why would someone that has been lonely most of their life object to people being around him?
