You say this is common sense

[Truemadara]

You say both characters having blown up arms is evidence that naruto and assume are equal

How does one person with no intent to kill and another who is even borrowing power to get a kill and fails make them equal?

Sasuke lost not because he lost the fight but because he failed to kill naruto

Naruto won because he stopped his friend which was his goal

Intent to kill=no intent to kill?
No
Common sense tells you this fight ended in a draw because naruto never intended to kill sasuke

Do we really need this again??? How sure are you sasuke wants to kill naruto? Just because he said it? Even their first clash at this same valley,he said it and he just couldn't do it cos he never really meant it.Now that the fight is over,its settled.we don't need this kind of thread anymore

Ashura was always stronger then indra!

Naruto was victorious cause his goal was met.

Fighting isn't about winning or losing. If a goal is met you earn a victory.

Doesn't matter. Sasuke's drive to kill Naruto ie be alone was equivalent to Naruto's desire to reconcile the two, or die trying. They both put their lives on the line, and that is why this is a draw- but Sasuke lost the 'ideological' battle, which is what matters to him.
