holding back means to hold back your full strength, not only does naruto never state to hold back, it literally is the opposite of what his character would do to save his friend. Plenty of people in fiction dont go for the kill, that dosent mean they are hardly even trying at all when you naruto fans say someone is holding back you associate holding back with not trying at all because thats basically what you all imply whenever bringing up naruto holding back despite it never being shown or even implied that hes so much stronger than sasuke that he has to hold back by 80% to not accidentally kill him. If hes that much stronger he would just stop holding back for 5 seconds and ko sasuke with no diff, if he waas that much stronger he wouldnt have needed kurama to gather the nature energy in the final fight, he would just overpower the indras arrow since hes so far above sasuke apparently@@sauce6746
Your commentary is hilarious but I’m also reminded of how incredible the show Naruto was. Using this mini skirmish and the water tanks as a way to demonstrate the hidden power of the rasengan over the chidori is just brilliant storytelling.
Except Chidori is usually a better jutsu and anyone who thinks differently was just fooled like Sasuke was and did not understand Kishimoto's brilliant storytelling
Bro I couldnt be Naruto. The moment I found out I had demon living in me rent free, im using it. Every. Single. Time. Not matter the opponent. Even when I'm sparring. And the 1st person I'm using it on is the 3rd Hoekage.
@@oldtown09Naruto didn't use Kurama against Kiba, and he didn't use it against the ninjas from the rain village despite fighting them for several hours all night He also barely used it against Gaara, only tapping into it once to push through Shukakus sand
I kinda now realized that Sasuke had to get Orochimaru's help cause Naruto humbled him greatly. Naruto had teachers but didn't rely on the power of darkness and drugs to get stronger.
I enjoy the messaging of this fight. Naruto doesn't do much of anything to match Sasuke's fighting ability. But despite the clear gaps in their skill level, Sasuke couldn't see past Naruto's new jutsu, which looked more impressive in a certain context. It's extremely clever when you consider that later in the series, we see both fully amped and of equal strength, and Sasuke's Chidori was indeed better in the head-on collision with a Rasengan.
"Clear gap" Sasuke was sweating and taking hits the entire fight, and his hits weren't doing anything to Naruto. Sasuke had the clear advantage with the Sharingan being able to predict Naruto's movements... and Sasuke knew this. At this point, Naruto can willingly access Kyuubi chakra... and he didn't. You think Sasuke would have done as well if Naruto DID use it... or better yet. Do you think Sasuke would have done as well without his Sharingan... take away both of their special abilities, and Naruto showed his strength much better here.
The chidori never once was better than the rasengan in head to head collisions. Everytime they clashed Sasuke had amps vs Naruto's base rasengan. Except the the last clash in pt. 1 valley of the end. Before than Sasuke had curse mark Amp vs base. In pt 2 after 5 Kate summit Naruto held back. Final battle in valley of the end, Sasuke used a amatarasu chidori vs base rasengan.
The Chidori is an imperfect Rasengan. It was never superior. Naruto wins not through sheer skill alone but through cunning, unpredictability, and grit. If it was taijutsu only at this time of the series then yeah, Sasuke wins. But Naruto at this time has shown he can use unpredictable tactics such as hiding underground and using clones for support in making the rasengan. Later on he uses them as ladders and maneuverability. Naruto at the end of the series before Shipudden was superior, even when he lost the final battle. Cause he never went full force.
Sasuke'a chidori wasnt better he punched naruto in the gut after the clash while naruto cut through his metal headband with a claw instead of cutting his chest because he didnt wanna kill him.
I hope Naruto thanked Hagoromo for choosing Ashura over Indra coz if he didn't Naruto would've spent his whole life getting whooped on by Sasuke. Hashirama would've also had it bad against Madara. Nice vid tho bro.
@@StayingAnti Not really, Hashirama had Ashura's blessing due to being the latter's reincarnate, so he could beat Madara. Once Madara got his blessing, Hashirama stood no chance against him.
@@StayingAnti Not being the reincarnation of Hagoromo's chosen son would mean Hashirama would have no instaheal abilities to keep going round after round with Madara. So he'd definitly get packed up by Madara, on top of that his cells and physical strength wouldn't be nearly as OP as they were. Resulting in Hashirama's death in their first death battle.
@@ashboi341what blessings? Madara lost to hashirama even with rinnegan. Only reason he was stronger is because he got ten tails. Which isn't even his power. So base to base, hashirama claps.
The thong that makes his frustration all the more believable (which i only realized a year ago) is tye Garaa fight was the _first time_ Sasuke say what Naruto was capable. Just think about it. The Haku fight? Sasuke was faded the fuck out on needles. Fighting Kiba? Sasuke was faded on cursemark (man's spends a lot of time knocked out). Naruto fighting Neji? Sasuke was late. Naruto learning/using Rasengan? Sasuke was faded on Itachi trauma. Him fighting Garaa was his first proper glimpse of _why_ this show was called *Naruto*. Then the icing on top was Sasuke getting *HUMBLED* by the Rasengan.
Sasuke outpowered Naruto starting with their last fight as kids when he went to Orochimaru's, up until Naruto learned sage mode. At that point Sasuke barely beat Deidara, while Naruto defeated Pain. Sasuke got a boost afterwards with Amaterasu and Susano to face the 5 kage and go on to face Danzo, and was probably the last time he came close to Naruto. Since that moment Naruto was always stronger, the war ark, kaguya fight, their final battle and Boruto arks proving that to be the case. If Naruto was ever required to go into Baryon Mode vs Sasuke, the second would be dead from the first punch.
In the first Valley of the End fight, after the Curse Mark2 Chidori and Vermillion Rasengan nullified each other, Naruto scratched Sasuke's headband to prove a point, while Sasuke went for Naruto's gut focused on winning the fight. It would've been a draw if Naruto had cared more about winning than the message.
@@joaov.candido8399He went Chidori for the kill. Naruto just had Rasengan to counter it. He *had* to punch. Naruto scratched the headband - which by the terms sasuke put forth means he should have won by the rules of the duel.
This is the episode i realized I don't fuck with Kakashi, Sasuke tries to fry Naruto because he is getting beat and Kakashi says Naruto was not ready for the Rasengan Bro Sasuke is the kid who comes to school in a trench coat sitting in the back row so the teacher dose not know if he is playing with himself or a glock back their
You don't FW kakashi CUZ he was keeping his literal students from killing each other, one of the kids he was specifically tasked by the hokage to watch over and protect???
@@skaterboi65no I don’t fuck with Kakashi because he jumps on Naruto’s ass when Sasuke was the one whipping out Justus that are ment to maim or kill out of nowhere what was Naruto to do let Sasuke hit him with the Chidori?
@@damianmorningstar3150Sasuke was ready for Chidori, because he was fighting against Non-leaf shinobi psychopath. Had Sasuke was fighting ANY leaf shinobi, Kakashi wouldn't have taught him Chidori regardless of Sasuke's wishes. Orochimaru again with his BS reality manipulation.
And even though it probably wasn’t that significant to a lot of yous, but what I love the most about that quote “you won’t be able to even put a scratch on my forehead” is SUCH perfect foreshadowing for their (first) last battle at the waterfalls on the statues because, even tho Naruto COULDVE just rocked Sasuke, he really just proved sasukes point so wrong and I loved that detail. Naruto was SET on getting that boy back from day 1.
We need to dissect it fr, Naruto fr did 3 dab-roundhouse kicks throughout the series, that’s insane. I have done Tae Kwon Do for 14 years, I’ve never got a lick on someone even as a 3rd Dan. That’s why he’s the GOAT. THE GOAT. But Sasuke the dat ninja too though.
When Sasuke fought Gaara during the Chunin exams, he showed that he was just as fast as weightless Lee. So without taking help from the Kyuubi, I feel like Naruto shouldn't have been able to keep up with Sasuke at all during this fight.
I'll be honest. Before the end there, Sasuke was cooking up Naruto. He got too cocky. All that fancy footwork no longer means much after he dives head first into a rasengan.
Bruh just got out of a coma and after just being mentally tortured by his olser brother and still put paws on naruto😂 If by humble you mesn getting his shit rocked by a handicspped opponent yeah he sure did humble him
The amount of hatred I have for the "character arc" of sasuke is beyond radio active level, how this shitstain made so much bad decision, to the point of actively wanting to kill his friends and still get treated like a good guy make me seethe to this day. The inferior brother.
So if the sharingans weakness is sunlight, then you're sayin Itachi executed that squad wipe on nightmare mode and came out without a scratch. Checks out.
I like what you're trying to do, more hilarious fight commentary like that other channel, but turn that shi t off. That background music is distracting and takes away from what you're saying. I felt like i had adhd trying to watch that
Im.still angry after all this time, after all the investment into Naruto as a syory, that the creator of Naruto chose to have Naruto vs Sasuke's final battle end in a draw. Shit was beyond bs and killed Naruto to me as a series and I grew up with the damn thing. Naruto should have beat Sasuke definitively at the end, with no dispute behind it.
It’s funny knowing that there are so many different jujitsu’s and Naruto only ever uses shadow clone and Rasengan. Sasuke had a lot of cool fire jujitsu’s and the Chidori. But bro only ever used grand fire ball and Chidori. Why are you both one trick ponies.
All excuses all Naruto in that 3 year gap was create a bigger rasegan he HE AINT ROCKING NOONE lowkey Hidan is stronger than Base Naruto at this point of the series @@thatsaiyan9063
Humbled? Naruto got absolutely folded that fight lol. Bro literally only landed a single hit on sasuke and that was because he used the sun to blind sasukes sharingan. If not for that Naruto wouldn’t have even laid a finger on sasuke in that fight. Naruto fans are so delusional 😭
What makes it worse is the fact that sasuke still blocked that punch lol. Naruto didn’t lay a finger on sasuke in that entire fight. Only thing naruto won that day was putting a bigger hole in a tank. And as he should because sasukes jutsu is used to pierce. I really don’t know why kishimoto always dumbs down sasuke so much when he fights Naruto.
That's why this fight is confusing lol. He clearly folded my bro from the start, but just because his rasengan make a bigger impact he immiediately hating on him and feel inferior. Like whaaaa? You are beating his ass the whole fight bro.
@@JLM155 no he just wrote sasuke trying to capture bee instead of killing him. Madara was purely a skill issue. sasuke never stood a chance against him when he didn’t even know what limbo was.
Humbled !? The Rasengan and Chidori would have Cancelled out. And if Sasuke actually went for the ground instead of Air , Naruto is getting Blitzed and One shotted 🙌
I kinda doubt that considering the impact the rasengan made compared to the Chidori. Without the Curse Mark Amp in his base power that was given to him later on, the rasengan would of won if they collided again
Lol you susgay fanboys won't give up will you 😂☝ the rasengan has showed time an time again why it's SUPERIOR between the two , lol wouldn't mattered how he used chidori an still wouldn't work , an mofo needed the sharigan to even use that weak ass ability to begin with 🗑 NarGOD SOLOS sauske family
