Gee,everything naruto can do is cause of Kurama, at least Sasuke could stomp even The Hokage with his own MS powers.
I think people underrate how much Naruto grew over the time skip. He was still hot-headed in the beginning of Shippuden but honestly, it's an improvement from his part 1 self. He's reckless, but still logical. Check out these panels as well:
That's an excellent usage of his clones, and his speed by which he makes them have grown sufficiently.You must be registered for see images

He stopped Chiyo's attack despite the uncalled attack. Chiyo has a 4.5 in taijutsu and a 4.0 in speed. While Naruto's skills by himself aren't up to that level, he makes up for it by using his clones to aid him.You must be registered for see images

Mind you, Naruto has always been known to come up with plans that don't fit the "intelligent" stereotype. He's different, but not inferior. I don't see why people label him as a complete imbecile in combat.. most of his cringe worthy actions are for comedy and when Naruto gets serious, he's a completely different shinobi (calling this out because I'm expecting the Rasengan on Nagato panel).

Its true that naruto has had his moments, but other than the fact of already being a master of shadow clones, he didnt even try to accel on anything else.
Than I don't think it's a matter of Naruto getting better or not, but how Naruto prioritized his goals (or what Jiraiya had in mind for him). In all honestly it's probably all that time he spent with the Rasengan that led him to create such combos after he received the Kyuubi's chakra. Plus it's the basis for the Tailed Beast Rasengan technique.
First off Karuma isn't a character. If you're talking about the tailed beast his name is Kurama. Second Naruto can't just get rid of the nine-tails just like that, it's SEALED within him.I want naruto to lose karuma, then go off for two years and learn a whole bunch of techs, then come back and regain karuma.
