Naruto lack of intelligence is hindering his potential

[Kakooli]

Supposedly has knowledge of all things because of a "RSM" yet still had to study for 2 years to get jonin rank in teh anime

 

[salamander uchiha]

Naruto never had anything and relied on Kurama and its power whole life

True Naruto needs his opponents to be nerfed.

True Naruto needs his opponents to be nerfed.

Naruto got destroyed every time until Kurama came out for help

Held back?

That same Kurama, gave him healing power immense amount of chakra and helped him through the battle every time (he could even make 1000 clones even before the academy) Naruto never had any talent as a ninja and im not talking about chakra control but over all

Yes, because it's manga fact that Kurama made it harder for him to control his chakra. Part of his chakra was always protecting him from Kurama. So he has never been at 100%. Remember the amount of chakra one possess has nothing to do with talent or skills. The manga made that clear with SM. He need a lot of chakra to learn to use SM, but that doesn't guarantee one would every learn SM. Naruto is one of the few people to perfect SM. If Naruto had no talent he would have never learned the shadow clone jutsu by himself in a few hours or most of the jutsu he possess.

Don't confuse body power with eye power. Eye power is the power that gives instant skills/ability and allows one to perform justu the user has never possess without any previous knowledge or skill.

Maybe, but then it wouldn’t match. A kakashi/ itachi level kid with narutos power would be an op on a boring kind of scale.
