Well i have to agree with abdula there... naruto was 1 step behind sasuke the whole fight, and it it was a sure victory for sasuke, after all the only damage he really sustained was from the cursed seal, naruto didnt even touch him after he went demon mode.

Another sign of naruto's weakness is that he's letting kyuubi do all the fighting.

But hey dont get me wrong, that's what i love about the guy, he's the underdog and he somehow always manages to get by. After a couple of years watching a guy go super mode, than super mode 2 than super mode 3 where it got to the point that if he farted he would probably destroy half the galaxy i welcome this change...
