I'm honestly really sick and tired of seeing threads like this. Why does everyone keeps saying that Sasuke needed the bijus to be equal to Naruto ? Like how stupid and blinded can y'all be ? Naruto and Sasuke will forever be equal no matter . . So y'all really gotta get that through y'all head. In the VOTE 2 yes Sasuke used the tailed beasts but he used in it in a different manner than Naruto. What y'all fail to realize is this, the reason why Sasuke used the Tailed beasts chakra in their final fight was to tip over the balance between him and Naruto. If you look at the fight, they was stalemating both each other's moves so being the genius that he is, Sasuke thought of the idea of surpassing both of their current levels and in order to do , he just needed more chakra . And thus by absorbing their chakra, he was able to do. Idk why is this so hard to comprehend. because of that , they were both able to reach new heights and we got a good fight outta that so stop complaining because the way I see it, they were BOTH nerfed. As the readers we can't expect to see both MC's unnerfed , then the battle woulda went on forever. So all of this talk about both characters being nerfed and cheating using the bijus powers is just stupid.
Naruto = Sasuke
Sasuke = Naruto
