Naruto vs pain was legit until the 9 tailed beast came out
Naruto vs Kakuzu didn't like it much due to spamming shadow clones. Naruto is all about revenge is wrong and killing is wrong, yet he went to go kill him.
If Naruto could fight without using shadow clones and rasengan every 5 seconds, people would like him better.
True but we can't blame Naruto the character. It's Kishimoto's fault for not giving him versatile abilities, I mean it's not TERRIBLE.
Sasuke before MS had - Chidori, raiton, and fire style techniques. Kenjutsu, and Sharingan abilities.
Naruto before KCM had - Rasengans, clones, Fuuton: Rasenshuriken, Sage Mode, and Sage Mode abilities from summonings
Kishimoto complained about drawing the clones too. I'm assuming his son won't have that annoying ass technique either.
Let's hope so, because Naruto learned about his element at 16 while regular shinobi from clans got them at ... 6? XD
