Hiruko is almost a non factor here, since Sennin Modo

- in truth he'd be able to destroy it with practically no difficulty whatsoever. The problem Mr. Uzumaki faces is that, without knowledge, he is susceptible to being defeated by Sasori's poison, since just one scratch can be fatal. It was clearly

in the manga by Lady Chiyo that one must possess both knowledge on the traps and the ability to react and avoid such swift attacks. Naruto certainly possesses the latter, but he'd struggle without having prior info on Sasori's abilities. It should also be noted that the regenerative abilities Naruto is granted by housing Kurama do not seem to spread to

attacks will certainly benefit Naruto in this matchup, as they'd allow him to eliminate large amounts of Sasori's puppet arsenal in one go. None of the puppets are durable enough to survive something on the level of the Rasenshuriken, and we should expect Naruto to find much joy if he undertakes this type of battle approach. The Sandaime Kazekage puppet is also likely to be destroyed fairly quickly if Sasori takes the gung-ho approach and tries to bring the fight to Naruto (as he did against Chiyo and Sakura), since Kage Bunshin spam will allow Naruto to pick it off from a variety of angles, and it's defence seems flimsy when compared to such a powerful offence. It'd be far more logical for Sasori to keep the puppet as far back as possible, and initiate Satetsu, with the Iron Sand's unpredicatability posing Naruto some questions. Ultiamtely, however, Naruto's heightened physical attributes should be enough to overcome this threat, with his speed, strength and stamina all allowing him to destroy Sasori's major game changers before they can unleash their full powers. This is why I remain doubtful that Satetsu will even be used, since Naruto may very well destroy the Sandaime Kazekage puppet before it even has a chance to use it.

spam absolutely devastates Sasori aswell. Overall, Naruto should have enough in the tank to take the victory.
