    I'm willing to argue that Sasuke didn't just lose against Killer Bee, all of Team Taka got completely stomped. Killer Bee treated that fight like a training session, used it as an excuse to take a vacation, and had zero problems. He could have continued and won that fight, but saw no reason to, as just causing a distraction and leaving had the same result.

      Well if he had killed them A would've scoured the land for him but since Bee made it look like the Akatsuki nabbed him A was all focused on getting revenge against the Akatsuki which allowed Bee to roam freely for a while (until Obito let it slip they didn't actually get him...to which A immediately realized what Bee was doing)

    @anialator1000000 ปีที่แล้ว +398

    The entire point of Gaara vs Deidara was that Gaara was way stronger. Deidara won because he out smarted Gaara. The C3 bomb was mostly irrelevant to Gaaras Defeat. Gaara lost because he used his special sand to attack. Deidara figured that out and sacrificed his arm to it almost intentionally in order to secretly mix in C1 clay into it. The C3 bomb was purely a distraction to launch a 2nd C1 attack that was also purely meant to force Gaara to pull his special sand back into his defense, thus trapping him inside the sand sphere with the C1 chakra bombs he had mixed in. Gaara didn't sacrifice his defense at all, Deidara turned Gaaras defense into his own attack.

      Read the comment again. The outsmarting isn't in threatening the village, it's in mixing in explosive clay in Gaara's sand and then forcing him to use that sand for protection. It's one of the smartest (and most logical) tactics you actually get to see in Naruto.

      What? Gaara fought in the most advantageous terrain (fuckload of sand) and deidara turned his homefield against him (c3). The only time gaara tagged him, deidara used it to infuse his clay and counter attack. Not to mention there was explicit exposition in the beginning where sasori said he didn't think deidara was bringing enough clay. I know you stan gaara from season 1, but even with the home field advantage and the help of the entire sand village, deidara still came out on top

Why fight 1 sword with an 8 sword user? Why not go serious from the getgo and have your team jump him instead of just having a sword clash? Why didn't he train his ms he just learnt about ms genjutsu that's how new born he was with ms. Why use lightning against a lightning user?

    Nah, I feel like Deidara definitely outsmarted Gaara and made him think it would be beneath him to use such underhanded tricks. Plus, he had it coming when Deidara launched an attack, in Gaara's home field.
    Deidara didn't move the fight away from the village, and made sure he could attack Sunagakure, if he ever needed to divert Gaara's defense. It was a very viable strategy on his part, considering his opponent had one of the stronger defenses in all of Naruto.
    At surface level, sure you could call it a bad trope. But if you stack up things like a character's pride, their skill set, and their morals, it's not that bad of a trope in certain situations. It just needs to be handled well. And no, he could not have had backup if you consider him saying he wanted to do the deed alone.

    Deidara DOES kind of outsmart Gaara, he got him with a double diversion. He had little mite sized bombs in his hand when Gaara took his arm and so he hit two birds with one stone with the C-3 bomb in the village by A, making Gaara use a huge amount of Chakra making a sand barrier for the village and that being the diversion for his fast bird. That which then made him divert his own sand back into his defense which he then made moot with his sand mites getting inside it and detonating inside his sand sphere. It was actually very clever and he came up with the plan on the fly when Gaara attached his sand to his arm. So, gotta politely agree to disagree on that one.

      That's not outsmarting gaara. That's using circumstances to his advantage. It's not that he outsmarted gaara, he just did something that he knew would force gaara to react. Gaara didn't make a mistake because he didn't have any real choice in the situation. Whereas, if they weren't in the village, deidara couldn't have resorted to the same tactic. So what he said in the video is still spot on.

      @@shorewall This is absolutely by definition a case of plot armor but my comments actual main point had nothing to do with plot armor. My whole point was that Deidara doesn't defeat Gaara in a straight up one v one where both are just aiming to kill eachother. Yes, deidara found a way to beat gaara in the circumstances given but that doesn't mean that deidara is the stronger character or even that he somehow outsmarted gaara himself.
      I think for a lot of people, they more loosely refer to plot armor as anytime a more powerful character loses to a less powerful character in order to move the plot forward. And honestly, I don't necessarily think that's an incorrect view of things but thats more an oversimplified answer to the question of "what is plot armor" than an answer for the "why is something considered plot armor" which I think is more important. If the plot needs for one person to beat the other then that is by definition plot armor. The plot needed Deidara to beat Gaara somehow to establish the Akatsuki's mission and their strength/ability to accomplish said mission. Thus, the fight took place in conditions that allowed for Deidara to accomplish this.
      I do think this is a rather cheesy thing to do though, the whole story is the plot and the events that happened are just what happened. It's like reading a biography of a president and claiming plot armor is the only reason he won an election. I think plot armor only matters when discussing the strength of individual characters and their feats because in those debates the plot/circumstances absolutely matter. People who whine about plot armor just because their favorite character died or lost is lame. Sasori demonstrated an impressive level of ability to be able to get Deidara into the sand village and Deidara showed a level of cunning to find a way to defeat and capture a more powerful opponent, that's all that happened here.

      @@DeadSezSo No, plot armor is exclusively referring to the case of a character who by all rights should have lost, wins because either one or many things just happen to help them without any prior foreshadowing or with seemingly little to no cause. The term plot armor is used to describe an extra set of defenses that a character literally does not actually have, but occur anyway to shoehorn in a plot relevant event.
      Deidara beating Gaara was not plot armor. It was established that Akatsuki are willing to directly enter villages for the Jinchuuriki. It was established that they are composed of rogue s-class ninja and that Deidara especially is considered a terrorist. The fight happened in a set of events that flowed and made sense, and Deidara prepared backup strats before the fight, and forced Gaara onto the backfoot, needing to react to Deidara's actions. No asspulls, no external influences appearing in the nick of time to assist one side, nothing like that. It was plot, but there was no armor to be found. Gaara is the stronger combatant, but the terrain and initiative put the ball in Deidara's court. It was one of the few PERFECT examples of a well written fight in Naruto.

But then again they're a lot of Naruto fans i've come into contact with who misunderstood the entire anime as a whole and also hate Sasuke because they can't relate to his character and blame him for Konoha's trauma over his life that made him what he was. But yeah most people I know understand that Sasuke lost that fight against Killer Bee as most people I know understand Naruto lost to Pain before Kurama bailed him out for round 2 against an uber fatiged Pain.
      Regardless, both of them were about 16 years old going up against some of the shows most powerful characters. Them winning isn't too realistic since they weren't ultra god mode characters like Itachi or Minato, Madara, Hashirama etc and still had to work very hard to gain their power.
      Plot closed the gap and eventually by the end of the show they were touted as the reincarnations god mode characters so eventually got to that level all before adulthood.

    Sasori was fighting against two insanely powerful fighters and it would have been a tough fight no mater what but, he could have won. But he did NOT win from plot armor. Here is how I see it. Early on we are introduced to Sasori and Deidara debating their philosophies about art. Sasori sees art as something that lasts, it's one of the reasons he made is own body into a puppet. I think the love for his parents was the same and never really ended. Lady Chiyo even said he could have dodge her last attack but he didn't. I think, in the end, he wanted to be immortalized along side his parents in a sad but beautiful piece of art. The stage for this final piece of art? A battlefield, the same place his parent died. The only other performer who could pull it off? His dear Granny.
    I see the whole fight as a final performance, as beautiful and sick as it is, to immortalize the love he had for his parents.

As a result, the thought of summoning Gamabunta - or any other toad for that matter - never occurred to him.

    I honestly don’t mind that Naruto won, I think it would have made more sense if Naruto landed more hits beforehand + ended it when he had the Kurama chakra. Him one-shoting Neji with Nine Tails Chakra is much more believable than doing it in base form.

    At 11:40. I think the reason Naruto didn't summon one of the toads is because their contract is one of respect. Naruto fighting Sasuke at the time was more of a personal desire than a necessity. The toads always give the summoner at least a little bit of crap for summoning them but always hold up their end of the deal. I think the only thing they want in return for their power is respect for themselves and their sacred teachings.

      NCHammer needs to stop making videos that revolve around fights. Educational videos are more his thing. He’s terrible at scaling like by far the worst I’ve seen. Kimimaro was not stronger than Gaara during that entire fight Gaara took zero damage. Whereas Gaara managed to defend against all of Kimimaro’s attacks, and damage him significantly prior to him regenerating similarly to Itachi it was communicated Kimimaro had an illness, and it was commented on by Orochimaru/Kabuto that he shouldn’t even have been capable of moving. Naruto did not scale anywhere near Sasuke in their first Final Valley fight. After going through the ritual Sasuke gained greater control over the Curse Mark, and got a massive boost to his strength a boost so large in fact his base was stronger than his Curse Mark One state in the Chunin Exams. The anime version of the Final Valley fight made it seem way closer than it was in the manga. In the manga version Sasuke was dogging Naruto in base, and after entered KM0 (the red eyes transformation before he gets a chakra cloak) he was dogging him with his three Tomoe Sharingan. Naruto couldn’t summon Gamabunta at will. At that point the only time Naruto could summon Gamabunta was in strenuous circumstances like when he was thrown off that cliff, or when he was mentally amped during the Gaara fight.

    Honestly the Sasuke vs Deidara is probably one of my favorite fights up until C-0 / Manda plot armor. C4 was absolutely nuts and it should've been Deidara's ultimate. Sasuke finding a way to beat that was amazing and it should've been the end with Sasuke finishing him off with his sword or chidori doesn't matter.

    • @KeDe1606
      @KeDe1606 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      True. While C-0 was cool in concept (someone who can perfectly control bombs, turning into a bomb as a desperation move just… makes sense, and we already know that Deidara likes to play dirty from his fight with Gaara), the way Sasuke survived that attack was just… no.
      We already established that Sasuke‘s electricity can deactivate Deidara‘s bombs, so why not do something with that? Could’ve even made for a surprise return of Kirin (though I doubt that Sasuke would’ve been able to perform it in time).
      Even then, anything would’ve been better than:
      - them standing around for a solid 30 seconds, talking
      - Sasuke staring at Deidara as he explains how he‘s about to blow up
      - Sasuke still doing absolutely nothing until…
      - actual milliseconds before the explosion, somehow performing an extremely time and chakra expensive technique in time for Manda (a notoriously finicky summon) to coil around him and perfectly shield him from an, that erased an entire countryside
      I feel like Kishimoto just remembered one day that Sasuke still had Manda, so he shoehorned a way in for Manda to die.

    • @KeDe1606
      @KeDe1606 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Rudolf Hillers everything about/around Deidara seems… weird for some reason. Like…
      - he is the only character who was able to *make himself immune to genjutsu* without needing a sharingan/byakugan
      - although he received an infinitely regenerating body through Edo Tensei, Kabuto didn’t even think about having Deidara just spam the C-0 to single-handedly win the war
      - C-0 being an incredibly chakra-intensive move… which just so happens to be his „desperation move“
      - C-0 not being able to kill Manda/Sasuke despite it erasing an entire countryside
      - just… the general way Sasuke survived C-0
      It feels like Kishimoto accidentally made Deidara too strong for his liking, so he scrambled to find some way to get rid off him (along with Manda).
      Same can be said about a surprising amount of Akatsuki members.
      Nagato got talk-no-jutsu‘ed into sacrificing himself.
      Konan got completely bs‘ed out of a victory against the single most a**pull-ey character in Naruto history.
      Itachi was one of the only characters in Naruto history to suffer/die from chakra disease.
      Sasori and Kisame committed [**CENSORED**].
      White Zetsu was made into fodder.
      Black Zetsu got written out of the story by turning him into the „secret, true 100% final boss!!!“.

      @Rudolf Hillers I actually really like Naruto as a story. It‘s themes and characters can be quite captivating at times (although there certainly are times where it does stumble like with how it treats it‘s side characters + Sakura, or how the entirety of Konoha + Kakashi got revived after the Pain fight).
      It‘s just that the world-building got… a bit off the rails once Shippuden came around. With most battles turning into giant mecha/kaiju fights, Sasuke‘s unimaginable plot armor (look at his fights against Danzo/the Five Kage, Deidara or Killer Bee for example), and Naruto not only being the child of two of the strongest people in history, but also having the second strongest tailed beast sealed inside of him while being a literal descendant of *GOD* (and he also literally became Ninja Jesus, bringing Guy back from the brink of death). Not to mention how every other character just spams these so-called „forbidden jutsu“ as if their life depended on it… even the Hokages, the characters who DECIDE what should and shouldn’t be a forbidden jutsu (examples: Naruto uses Shadow Clones and the Rasenshuriken; Tobirama created Edo Tensei and the Mutually Multiplying Exploding Tags; Minato and Hiruzen use the Reaper Death Seal; Tsunade uses the Hundred Healings/Seals). And then there’s also the fact that the supposed „strongest clan in Konoha“ got completely sidelined right after Neji‘s fight with the spider dude in OG Naruto ended. I could mention a lot more things, but that would just be a waste of time.
      In general, I‘m able to ignore issues when it comes to world-building if it is done for the sake of the story

Why fight 1 sword with an 8 sword user? Why not go serious from the getgo and have your team jump him instead of just having a sword clash? Why didn't he train his ms he just learnt about ms genjutsu that's how new born he was with ms. Why use lightning against a lightning user? No ametarasu, no kagetsuchi he was SOOOO unprepared he was made to lose here. In fact he's always thrown into fights he can't win and made to win thru methods that make sense yet people are mad. Like yes he fought against Bee but imagine a Sasuke from the kage summit or ems Sasuke then what? It's good that Sasuke got his fade run. It's good that he USED HIS TEAM like let them have a purpopse LET THEM BE USEFUL FOR ONCE!? Idk why people are MAD he lost HE LOST yes I get it Bee wasn't going all out and he escaped anyway and Sasuke nearly died like 3-4 times so why are people talking about this. Look at Pain's fight in comparison.

    To be honest, Sasuke wasn't really low on chakra against Deidara, so it was okay for him to summon Manda. The reason I say this is because Sasuke still had his Sharingan active, which is not active when he's out of chakra. The second indicator that Sasuke still had chakra left was because Sasuke's curse mark did not forcefully take over. He was justified for being able to summon Manda

Shenanigans of that sort will each only work once at most and are not as worthwhile as genuine training which yields consistent results. I find it refreshing to have a show where a tricky element to it is welcome rathar than it all boiling down to power, and Naruto is a great character to embody a more playful approach to combat. I don't think its out of character, or plot armor for him to win this way, its sort of his whole thing. His enemies are warned he'll use clones to distract them and hit them with a big attack, and it works anyway. He even tried a Reverse Harem Jutsu on Kaguya and it sort of worked!

    In Sasukes battle with Daidara, the main issue is Sasukes chakra consumption expenditure. He's almost always got the sharingan activated, uses the curse mark released state, most if not all of his attacks are using a change in chakra nature, he uses several chidori, and by the end of the fight, summons Manda, reactivates his sharingan and places him under genjutsu.

Based on his own feats and motivations there's no reason for him to be more motivated against daidara than itachi. The whole point of kirin was that he could use very little chakra once he was out to control and shape a lot of naturally occurring lightning. He used everything he had at the time to beat itachi. And that's somehow less than what he ended up using against daidara if you stay consistent with how much chakra each jutsu should use. Sasuke should be better at casting fire style jutsu over his lighting as it's actually what he's better with, and he uses more lightning style against daidera.

    • @justthefacts6902
      @justthefacts6902 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      @@ezramiller8936 sasuke really doesn't use much chakra in his fight with diedara. It's never stated much chakra sasukes different chidori variations take from him. Nor is it ever even stated by sasuke that he's low on chakra in the entire fight. However the lighting style that Sasuke used on diedara was extremely weak, and was only used to paralyze diedara. Sasuke never once used his lightning style in an attempt to end deidaras life.
      Which brings me to what really matters about this fight. Diedara literally never stood a chance against sasuke since sasuke had already analyzed deidara's jutsu at the start of the fight. When diedara comes to this realization after sasuke explains it to him, it literally causes deidara to rage quit life. On top of the fact that he knew sasuke was still holding back jutsu. This win was by no means a "plot armor victory" sasuke claps diedara any, and every possible way. If he wants diedara dead than the fight is a straight up no diff.
      If your upset about sasuke surviving deidara's suicide attempt that's fine, but that wasn't by any means plot armor either. Sasuke literally explains how he escaped deidaras suicide bomb. This is further explained in the manga. Sasuke and manda initially took the force of the explosion, BUT reverse summoned to another location afterwards. Nchammer makes it seem like manda just sat there and tanked the entirety of the explosion. Which I'm sure he knows is false, but since he hates sasuke so much, he withheld the manga version of that fight to push his "plot armor" narrative.
      Some people will argue sasuke isn't fast enough to do this. However i assure you that HE IS. Sasuke's speed has been being extremely exaggerated since the start of Shippuden. Team 7 note that he's extremely fast. And the entire fight with diedara was only a game of cat and mouse because diedara and tobi state that Sasuke is way too fast to fight close combat. Even as Sasuke is dodging diedara's bombs diedara is amazed by how fast sasuke is. In his fight with itachi sasuke is seen literally out running amaterasu. Moral of the story sasuke was by far the fastest character in the series before the raikage's introduction. He was definitely fast enough to escape deidaras explosion.
      And lastly the "out of chakra" argument is the weakest argument of all since the only statements we get about sasukes chakra from deidara. DEIDARA stated that Sasuke has to be low on chakra in an attempt to comfort himself. He tries to say the last of sasukes chakra must be in his chidori lol. Sasuke never once states that he's low on chakra. Your trying to measure sasukes chakra reserves with some headcannon formula from his battles in the series. But the fact is we don't have any clue how much chakra sasuke had at the end of his fight with diedara. You have to understand the differnce between wanting a character to die, and plot armor lol. 100% of fans know full well Sasuke easily claps diedara. Everyone is just pissed that Sasuke didn't die. Probably because diedara shat on Kakashi and naruto. Then sasuke proceeds to solo deidara with another akatski member assisting him low diff.

    Just a few things in defence of the Naruto-Neji fight. The clash between 0-cloak Naruto and Neji caused heavy damage in both the Genin, something Naruto was able to tank better because of his body and because he was still somewhat protected by Chakra. Meaning, Neji was already on his power reserves and one punch was enough to take him down. And also, it explains why Neji was not able to see Naruto underground. While the Byakugan can see through material, it can only do so when activated. We see that, whenever a Hyuuga tries to see through anything, they have to intentionally activate their eyes. But because Neji was already out of chakra and was sure that Naruto was defeated, he had his eyes deactivated, which also shows Neji's cocky nature.

    I think the attempted nuking of Suna to get Gaara off his guard makes perfect sense from a tactical perspective. Where I think the plot armor comes into play is with the ploy that leads into. The C3 nuke was supposedly intended to force Gaara to move all of the desert sand he was controlling into a position too far to use in a snap defense, to force him to use his personal sand that he'd previously crushed Deidara's arm with, and that Deidara had seeded with his clay. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this. However, Deidara's hand was caught by the sand in the middle of evasive action. He wasn't in an offensive mindset at the time, so there's no reason to believe he had his hand shoved in his clay pouch during the far-off shot of the chase. His hand certainly isn't anywhere near his pouch in the brief moment of the close-up shot before his arm is seized, so where'd the clay come from? If he could make the clay in his hand-mouths there'd be no reason to carry it externally, and certainly no reason to keep complaining about running low. Are we supposed to believe that any kind of earthen element turns into that paste-white explosive clay when he eats it with one of his hand-mouths and infuses it with his chakra? Was that ever established?

      To explain further:
      Deidara has a Kekkai Genkai, his Chakra has explosive properties. (This is mentioned in a video from this guy that ranks all Kekkai Genkai.)
      He then stole a Kinjutsu, which let's him make clay out of his chakra from the Mouths on his body. I think that clay has all the properties that Deidara's clay has except the explosive nature of it.
      With the clay made from the explosive chakra instead of normal chakra or standard elemental chakra it makes his Clay Explosive.

      Deidara has to keep clay in his hand-mouths (hate saying that lol, ew) for a while to chew before he can spit something out of them that has shape, at least at that point. It’s safe to assume there was clay in his hands pretty much every second he wasn’t spitting something out of them. So it’s really not a stretch that he had clay in his hand when it got taken off, we’ve seen before in other battles that he always seems to have at least a small explosive ready to toss and it wouldn’t take a ton of clay to make those spider explosives that did in Gaara.

    1) Naruto with Kurama chakra is not only stronger than Neji, but than all of konoha 12. (Apart from Sasuke)
    2) Kimimaru was weak from illness, so he lost cause he pushed himself too far.
    3) Naruto isn’t nerfed against Sasuke, we was not in control of his body and although he was powerful in Kurama cloak state, he was chaotic, while Sasuke’s power was direct and precise so Sasuke won. (Hulk vs Thanos is a good example)
    4) Deidara won cause Gaara sacrificed his defence. Gaara maybe stronger, but Deidara just took advantage of the opening and outsmarted him.
    5) Kakuzu lost cause Naruto outsmarted him with clone diversion, not only he was weakened by sealing 3 tails, but also he lost 2 hearts prior to Naruto’s arrival. Kakuzu got caught lacking and Naruto took advantage of that. Also he wasn’t very mobile in that state.
    6) Sasuke is way stronger than Deidara. Period. (Also Deidara is too chaotic and has 0 battle IQ)
    7) Itachi basically gave up. But he was stronger at that point.
    8) Sasuke didn’t win cause Bee escaped. If Bee didn’t do that he would have killed team Taka.
    9) Kurama Naruto is stronger than Pain. If it would’ve been Nagato himself using all powers then it would’ve been very different. But no way 6 dead bodies controlled remotely are stronger plus Nagato wasn’t even using the full power of the Rinnegan like Obito or Madara for example.
    10) Obito was not nerfed, his body was too weak to take such power and he was losing control throughout the fight. Sure he could win, but that would mean that there would be no Obito after, and Obito wanted to be himself and be in control which he just couldn’t do.
    11) it was a tie! Naruto and Sasuke were matched in every way. Naruto just wasn’t trying to kill his friend. Also (and this is a bid maybe) Sasuke went all out from the start of the fight cause hi was blinded by all that power he had, so he might have tired out quicker than Naruto. But nevertheless, it was not the power of friendship, that’s just dumb to say.

I think if naruto were more focused on exerting power nonstop he would overpower sasuke and if he needed more chakra to when against sasuke in a longer duration of a fight than he could summon gamabunta (using kurama's power) then he would have gamabunta fight sasuke while he preserved more chakra. I just think when it comes down to what each character is capable of in that current time frame naruto whens every single time and the only reason he didn't was because he was holding back without the intent to kill sasuke but more so prove himself to sasuke.@@HassanAhmed-rf9xr

    Sasori should have clowned sakura. Chiyo is OP, but at her age and against sasori, it would be a longshot. The whole using sakura as a puppet thing was really cool, but sasori got done dirty... I think he could have gone on to be much better than "the weakest member of the Akatsuki" if he didn't get done so dirty. He was one of my favorite villians

    There’s no way you can put Sasuke vs. Itachi on this list and not Sakura w/ Chiyo vs. Sasori.
    “Sasori wanted to unalive himself so he wasn’t fighting for real.”
    “Itachi let Sasuke win.”
    Same thing.

    Man, lately YT was recommending me some other Naruto lore channels and I've got to say the quality gap between you and them was enormous. Even if I don't agree with your takes, you argument them properly, and I can always see where you are coming from, and then there are dudes who unironically doubt kisame might be kage level and in the same sentence say that TenTen of all poeple is though, or that deidara wipes the floor with Jiraya no discussion....
    In other words, good job and keep it up, your videos are always interesting and well researched. No pointless tiers and clickbaits.

      Nearly everytime Talk-no-Jutsu worked, was when the recipient didn't want to do what they were doing merely that they felt it was necessary.

    I have a theory that I want you to look at. I think that Saitama's power may be similar to that of the eight gates as it is said he broke his LIMIT through training and the eight gates are chakra LIMITERS. So I think they may be related and Saitama has pushed open the eighth gate without puncturing his heart like might guy and might duy even opening a ninth gate that nobody knew about because the eighth gate would kill them too quickly for them to open it.

    Everyone likes to mention how Sasuke had plot armor because his squad was by his side to assist him, but that’s quite literally what a squad is for, to have your back. Sasuke was intelligent enough to have Karin (a healer) Jugo (offense) and Suigetsu (Both offense and defense. Keep in mind that he also held back a tailed beast, but not just any, the eight tails.) I don’t really understand how that’s plot armor if they were established far before the Sasuke and Bee fight took place. Now if they suddenly came out of nowhere to save him at the very last second with no prior mentioning THAT would be a plot armor asspull.

  • @moncala7787
    @moncala7787 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    In regards to Naruto vs Sasuke v1, Sasuke is at least initially genuinely trying to kill Naruto and while Naruto is doing his best he is explicitly not fighting to kill. So even if Naruto is stronger than Sasuke at this point, he's holding back.

So was he in control when he was facing Orochimaru as version 1? What about against Haku? Naruto was full of rage that's when he's dangerous. I would fully believe he was about to break Sasuke's spine as long as he could bring him back.

    I'm just gonna say I think Sasuke winning the Deidara fight was just fine because of three factors, 1. Deidara might have said Sasuke was out/low on chakra but Deidara doesn't know that being that he has no way to legitimately tell and Sasuke still had his sharingan out witch means he still has enough chakra to sustain it. 2. We can see that everything in the area of the explosion was destroyed but there was nothing in that area that was as strong as Manda + Manda is a Sage summon witch should make him much more sustainable then a normal summon, for instance if animal path pain summoned his bird into that explosion it would most certainly be destroyed. And if you say it was unfair that Sasuke had help by his group thats just wrong because Deidara had help from Tobi as well.
