Yeah but come one, Sage mode Naruto, conquerer of Pain and challenger to Akatsuki, having to fight some kid who just learnt Bunshin no Jutsu?

+1 for that, would be amazing.
When Naruto said they would "kill each other" when they fight, it's possible he was speaking metaphorically?
I mean...regardless of who won, If either of them killed the other it would be a huge death of spirit/character/sanity/etc they would never be the same after that.
Or maybe he meant they'd just asplode eachother

Maybe itachi gave naruto some sealing jutsu power that will seal sasuke however kill naruto as well, kind of like what the third used on oro.
That would actually be really ironic, as Sasuke is fighting to avenge his brother, yet will ultimately be killed by him, which is what he feared before learning the truth about his brother in the first place. That's like triple reverse irony.
VERY MINOR SPOILER... MAYBE...
There is a new movie coming out... Something bout a blood prison and in a subbed version it references a Chuunin Exam... Albeit it would probably be dissapointing to see it in just a movie.
The fact that naruto and Sasuke are still Genin still slays me!

Well... being a Sage now, wouldnt that put Naruto in a class of his own?
Aside from that, not much else was explained about Sage Mode. I think Sage Mode > EMS. :/
Sage is a technique, not a ninja class. Just as being an "Uchiha" doesn't put the clan in their own category.
They explained plenty about Sage mode. In short, it lets you dilute your own chakra with that from nature to give yourself a shit ton of chakra at your disposal. The only real thing left unexplained for me is if Naruto can pull of the invisible "chakra punch" in his normal state, or if he must perform it while in Sage mode with some Natural Chakra in his system.
And Sage mode > EMS??... That's like comparing apples to oranges. Even without EMS, Itachi would have just stuffed Naruto up with the Tsukiyomi, for example. The Sage Mode/EMS comparison is actually only more valid now because Sasuke's using his ability in such a liberal and thoughtless manner, as if his intelligence rivals that of Naruto.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Would he? Naruto has been shown to be an infinitely more perceptive sensory ninja while in Sage mode.
He may be able to recognize Genjutsu instantly in that state. We don't really know yet, because nobody has tried to use Genjutsu on him while he was in Sage mode.
I'd say that's impossible to tell without knowing what other powers EMS gives Sasuke.
If the only thing it gives him is access to his current MS powers without costing him his sight, then yes, I think Sage mode is more powerful than the powers Sasuke has used so far.
Hmm, I totally forgot that Naruto has a fully functional Rasen Shuriken up his sleeve while in Sage mode, while Sasuke's been shown to be pretty much stuck to walking at best in Susano'o mode in terms of dodging. Would be an interesting matchup there.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Also one of the ways you are supposed to get out of a Genjutsu is to receive an external chakra stimulus. All Naruto would have to do whilst caught even in Tsukiyomi would be to release one of his Kage Bunshins which is gathering Sage chakra for him and he would snap out of it as the charka surges in to him.
You're assuming Naruto even makes it to the tournament. He'd probably fail the written exam.
I would hope though that the arc would go the same as the previous Chuunin exam. Where it starts out normal and Naruto is obviously breezing though it, but then some shit goes down that's not part of the exam and it all goes crazy.
Speculation aside, I doubt they'd be organizing chuunin exams with the whole next great ninja war brewing already. They should be busy rebuilding and preparing for the war. No time for exams requiring lots of manpower.
The other thing is, while in Sage mode, Naruto's entire body is infused with nature chakra. Genjutsu is the manipulation of a targets chakra in order to confuse or deceive the target.
What I mean to say is Naruto may be flat out immune to Genjutsu in Sage mode, or at least immune to non-nature based genjutsu. Beyond that, you know that when Naruto faces off with Sasuke he is going to be 'cross eyed'. He will have his chakra supplemented with the 9 tails chakra (since he will have learned to control it by then with the 8 tails help) and will, as a result be able to draw on a ton of nature chakra to suffuse his body.
Basically the manipulation of that chakra by an outside force may be impossible. Like moving a mountain.
That's only the kind of thing you tell to kids (or yourself during your weaker moments) to keep them spirited and to keep them from succumbing to despair and depression in the face of the cruel reality of living in a feudal system where they are naught but expendable tools for the nobility.
(ignore me, will you)
Itachi is a total loser, and a weakling. His only useful power, Tsukiyomi, turns seconds into days so he can torture other ninjas with his emo self. He was killed by a disease of all things.
Looking at it another way, he was afraid of Jiraya and said that it 'wouldn't matter how many men we had against someone like him'. Jiraya killed by a 7 man team. Great insight, Itachi has. Then there is the crap with his village. Lets see: kill my family, friends and entire clan in order to 'save the village'. Sure, no other option. He couldn't ahve spared a few of his clan, right? Certainly he had to torture his brother. I mean the man is supposed to be a pacifist but he kills everyone he loves.
Itachi is a waste of ink, and he has managed to make the same of his brother. The series would be so much better without him.
