Ok, clearly Naruto made a bad move, and the Abdula-approved tactic would have been to quietly dispell the additional kage bunshins that Naruto has in the woods, even though a kage bunshin with rasengan was already hidden to the enemy, because there was a possibility that the kage bunshin could fail.
I'd have to agree with Abdula on this one. Making a kage bunshin + rasengan takes out a fair amount of chakra that could have been used better. Most of us are angry at Naruto, not because he did the rasengan+kage bunshin, BUT because he always does it without even thinking about anything. He lets his emotion control his actions. Thats a major weakness in a ninja, who is suppose to be devoid of emotions.

Kakashi is a skilled ninja with extra analyzing ability (sharingan) who makes logical and safe decisions in times of crisis. If your leader is Kakashi, and he tells you to do something, as a subordinate ninja, you should definately listen to someone who has more experience than you, especially if its Kakashi.

I agree that Naruto using his bunshin could make the enemy reveal his fighting style, BUT, Naruto also revealed to Tobi that he could use a kage bunshin and a very powerful melee chakra attack. This makes Tobi extra cautious in the future battle with Naruto from staying very close to him.

Finally, Naruto has had experiences with Akatsuki before. He's not a 12 year old little boy anymore. He's gotten stronger and better. However, he still shows signs of his younger self by ignoring his battle experience instinct that tells him Akatsuki is dead serious and charges at one without analyzing. By doing that, he is practically refusing to observe and plan ahead, so us manga readers are extremely frustrated about it.

Naruto IS a damn idiot
