I am being serious.. Naruto is like so underrated when it comes to talent.. people just put it off as "hard work" or "handed". No.... Its because he has talent.

As far as I'm concerned... Naruto > Sasuke in talent..... clearly visible in Part 1. Naruto's growth from a literaly half-assed ninja to a badass-ninja is really fast.

I don't think anyone's ever said Naruto was stupid, or even debated his intelligence...it's just that it's underplayed in the series. I mean lets look at it from a strategic point. When Naruto fought Kakuza we saw just how smart Naruto was tactically when he head-on attacked to gauge Kakuza's strength and see how many clones he would need for a successful distraction. Fast forward then to when he fights Pein and Naruto develops a near perfect chain of distractions and attacks in his final Rasen-Shuriken barrage that involved him transforming into a Rasen-Shuriken to take down the Preta Path...And lots not even get started on how he transformed into thousands of boulders to trick the Deva Path...so yes, Naruto is smart, it's just underplayed

His personality outshines his intelligence sadly.

If he didn't have talent.. the Kyuubi would've taken over by now.. and there would be no Kyuubi mode.. hell he learned chakra transfer in the matter of seconds.....

Is that why Naruto is already stronger then Sasuke.? even though when he started out he had no skills/no training.... while Sasuke did.

Yeah many people view him as weak which is completely untrue. Naruto is a very talented Ninja, just the haters don't want to hear it.

What most people forget is that Naruto learns at a very fast rate as shown with the Chakra Transfer Technique and Multiple Shadow Clones. Both he perfected without any practice.

Ah reread the manga, he learned multi shadow clones and chakra transfer technique in a matter of seconds. He was never shown practicing them once in the entire series.

Naruto has more potential, but not more talent. Which is extremely weird. Can't really explain it. And as far as intelligence, Naruto is maybe the best at heat of the moment tactics. He comes up with some pretty brilliant stuff on the spot. I guess having Kurama adds to his potential lol. Also learning Sage Mode. And his aptitude with Shadow Clones vastly improved his capacity to learn new techniques, etc.

Naruto must be a pretty fast trainer if he was capable of damaging his body in seconds from training.

He only had the scroll for a few minutes. And he learned Chakra Transfer Technique mid battle. How on earth is that training like crazy?




As I said he learned them without practice almost instantly.

I don't think the manga or anime clearly state the time period between Naruto stealing the scroll and Iruka finding him. I think it's safe to say though that it wasn't that long. Sandaime was watching Naruto as he was leaving with the scroll and then sent ninja after him not soon later.

Yeah, it wouldn't have been very long, there wouldn't be enough time to "train like crazy".
