Good lawd, there is absolutely no way that a civilized debate can ever be possible without people raving on fanboys this, and fanboys that. Shut the hell up already. Some of the people who complain are actually worse.
A peculiar read. I'm a Sasuke fan and all, but without his Sharingan, I don't think he'll have the upper hand on the topic of Minato. It is true that Sasuke was deemed a genius by his instructors and fellow villagers before his Sharingan was even acknowledged; so I do think he would best Naruto without their god gifted techniques.
I think you're belittling Naruto a bit, you seem to be remembering the old Naruto. He's more skilled now even without the Kyuubi's power. He would still be a good match for Sasuke. Of course, given Sasuke the abilities hes honed without the need for Sharingan... Well, that supports my reason as to why I said he could best him. Naruto's hope is the Rasengan, but a blue sphere won't aid him very much against Kirin, no matter what power imbued... lol.
Tch... A true Sasuke fan will realize and evaluate both Sasuke's pros and cons, and still adore him. This is getting way out of hand.
