shikamaru and others playing support role for naruto in current arc.Remember that time when shikamaru led the team to recollect sasuke from the 4 ninja sound people?
shikamaru placed him in the middle as his explosive personality can easily support the back or the front.
thats the simplest way to think things through.
he's obviously a support.
with experience though, he could be the main hitter.
his skills are too diverse but lacks creativity.
he can either heal, defend or attack.
since he's inexperienced but ridicolously strong.
he's still support.
whats the use of having a nuclear bomb if you don't know how/where to drop it.
Read the OP again. He says, 'from my view'. It's his opinion.ok. this guy saying that naruto not have defensive and offensive skills ( manga says other)
tsunade is a better medic than NarutoHis defence = PS
offence =< PS
medic=> tsunade
what else
shikamaru and others playing support role for naruto in current arc.
hiruzen? minato? sasuke? tobirama ? and bee? i seen only hash give naruto orders.tobirama and others in your list show teamwork with naruto.sasuke, tobirama, hashirama, minato, hiruzen.
bee.
gee, idk who's co-ordinating the attacks for him.
There are 3 categories Naruto can fall into.These categories are
Medical/support ninja:Heal shikamaru to some extent ,assisting team make in battle and supplying Kyubi chakra shinobi alliance
Offensive:From my view he lack variability of skills
Defensive:Kyubi cloak defense is not as good as susano or gaara sand but it can protect against katon(from what we seen against Madara
i believe Naruto is more of a support/Medical ninja (with Kurama)
