According to those definitions, Naruto isn't a genius in anything but, as Schabrak said, converting enemies. No doubt though, Naruto can be smart when he tries and has great potential, especially if his focus has improved tremendously.

Exceptional skill or exceptional natural ability defines Genius, as well. I'm sure we can find characteristics in which Naruto is exceptional.

Naruto is a genius at talk no jutsu. He's managed to make Zabuza admit he cared for Haku, change Neji and Gaara, and show Nagato the light.And, his handhold no jutsu helped Tobi rethink his ways on life.

Okay, we established the mocking. Now onto the serious part. You don't think that his usage or perfection of Sage Mode is exceptional?

Bijuus have become an important and unavoidable part of the story and depiction of Naruto's and Kurama's relationship is vital for their fate in general if Bijuus were to survive in human society. That's why I think Naruto heavily uses RM. But if you look back at the Pain fight, you actually could see how Naruto is formidable in SM.

YOu're not using evidence at all. You're using your own understanding of manga which may or may not be true. It's the same for him and that's why your level of factual comprehension is the same as his theory. That is all.
I am using evidence, and that evidence is factually acknowledged by everyone else. Meanwhile he's ignoring and making up evidence to support his belief. There's a clear difference. If he could actually show evidence from the series alluring to this idea that there is some secret, then it would be a different story, but there is nothing.

Madara exhausted or not... Is not really relevant:
http://narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/626/12

See? He does not get how. Hashirama was also exhausted... Now if he really got tricked because of the "exhausted" part he would have said so, Thing is he obviously did not say that, he just said "how the fuck that happen". Point is he can be tricked, it only needs to happen once... Then let's add the fact that Madara could not tell who the real Naruto is, I am sure you remember the event...
That entire fight Hashirama was HOLDING BACK and only by the end mustered up the stg to take him out... So add this fact to your list why the alliance would take him out.

Oh I see... Because Nagato could do it... He can... I like that logic... So let's give Naruto all the Futon tech in the world, Sasuke the ability to cast Izanagi and Izanagi since he has 1 tomoe and so on... Hell he had the sharingan so why not?

Sorry bub but... Its irrelevant if he has the tools to do it. You still need to prove he knows HOW to do it.
No, it's very relevant, since Madara's ability to tell the clone apart from the real Hashirama was outright attributed to his Sharingan. So a Sharingan-less Madara being fooled means nothing when the acknowledgement involved his Sharingan.

Please, don't be ludicrous. There's a clear difference. We're talking about a doujutsu, and not once in the series has the previous owner of a doujutsu not possessed the power of their doujutsu. Now unless you can show an example in the series where a transfered doujutsu grant powers to the user that the previous user didn't have, then your argument is moot.

Assuming he would throw 1 meteor... If he does what you said and he needs to throw more... He NEEDS to sit still, not use his Susano or offence (no hands, no movement) and keep making handseals to keep throwing them.
Also I am sure he made more seals but Kishi stopped showing all the handseals for some time now.
No he doesn't. We outright saw that he can summon more then a single meteor at a single time, so there's no reason he would have to continuously wait around. And that doesn't matter, the fact remains that using the meteors is not the time-consuming endeavor you made it out to be.

The same reason why he used primitive, weak Susano's with the clones. That would be 1 reason my guess... Be creating clones and splitting his chakra his own chakra capacity decreases. Its like with Muu when he split in half. Obviously not on that level with Mokuton clones but still.
Those clones where stopped by 1 single shoot from Tsukisage. He could not do it faster as he was low on chakra... Right now with Kurama from N and M he would 1 shoot them, EASY.
Because he was playing around? That really doesn't help your argument against a Madara that is fighting seriously. And such a limit would be true of everyone, meaning your claims about Naruto and Hashirama would also be affected. And no, speed had nothing to do with the amount of chakra he had. That was all about him even being capable of that, which is moot here as previously mentioned. Onoki can't use such a trick in this situation, not in the middle of the Alliance forces fighting against Madara. The only way that could work is if everyone else ran away, and that would truly defeat you argument.

He did NOT had SM with Kurama mode... Man I love how you discard key element from the fight to support your argument... Madara did not even beat him, he slowed him down before Naruto saved Kakashi and Gai.
No, he didn't use Sage Mode with the Kyuubi Mode. He had it available. And whether he used it or not really doesn't affect my argument. Madara not only tanked a Bijuu Rasengan, but knocked him back like a child.

Regular bijudama... Regular bub... Now SM powered bijudama... I don't think so... Naruto and Minato with a SM rasengan could blast trough that super black shield. I don't care what Madara's Susano is its not more powerful then the sages shield. A bijudama would blast even Juubito.
A regular Bijuu Blast from the complete Kyuubi, making it half as strong. And no, they didn't. They caused it to strain, but never broke through, instead getting knocked back.

Like the fact that he could have went trough defenses from the sage himself? Like lol... You think Madara's Susano can tank blasts from Bijudama's from 5 biju's and ugraded with SM? Please provide it.
We outright saw Madara's Susanoo tank the complete Kyuubi's blast. Now unless you can prove that a Bijuu Blast from the Kyuubi enhanced by Sage Mode is equal to, much less more powerful, your argument doesn't work.

Before the real one bud, the real one... There is no reason to believe Hashirama's clones can't hand with Madara's clones... More when they are powered by Naruto's (and Minato's) mojo.

a dozen + Hashirama's + SM clones + whatever the rest of peeps can provide is MORE then enough.
Except for the fact that Madara's clones possess the power of Hashirama's clones in addition to Madara's power. The Kyuubi's chakra is moot against the power of the Rinnegan and Mokuton.

Madara, alone without using anything but his Sharingan, took on a few thousand ninjas along with three Kage-level ninjas. He took down the Gokages over three times, when not even fighting seriously. Hashirama is the only threat, and even that doesn't seem as if it will be enough considering he now needs help fighting Madara.

lol... That was not a midless puppet, not in the real sense of the word... It was Kabuto doing the fighting trough Nagato. It was like Kabuto had the rinnegan... Nagato instantly absorbed shit and transformed his body and use ST and used BT like before. The fact that he was mindless is completely irrelevant. He proved to use jutsus just like before... Now for you to win an argument you are telling me "he could do them ALL like before but not this". Evidence to support this is needed as I have evidence that he CAN use jutsus like before. EVEN CT ffs....

YOU need to prove Madara knows how to perform different jutsus... Its irrelevant if he has the same eyes. Sasuke's has Itachi eyes but can he do Izanami? Izanagi? Tsukiomi (full one, time control)? I don't think so bub... Prove it.
No, Kabuto wasn't doing any of the fighting. If that was the case, then that would have meant he was doing the fighting with the Sandaime Raikage against Naruto, and running around as that one Mist ninja. And the entire point is that Nagato there was a flawed version of the real one, a point pointed out.

No, I don't. Series logic states he can. You are the one who needs to prove and show that someone who formerly had a doujutsu lack it's abilities. And Sasuke having Itachi's eyes has nothing to do with Izanami and Izanagi. And there is nothing to suggest at all that Sasuke can't use any of those abilities. Unless you can show where it was stated or shown that he was incapable of using any of them, your argument fails.

Yes we did... Oonoki blew up 25 Madara's with Susano and smashed HALF of the original's body in 1 single blast... Now that was a small one compared to "blow up islands" as he was almost out of chakra...
What you are ignoring (obviously as it ruins your arugment) is the insane powerup they would get with Naruto's chakra... If you use Oonoki and him alone and he is a huge powerup... Gaara can provide huge AOE defense and offense...

I am not overestimating shit. Kakashi whent from warping a man to warping a biju after he got just a bit of chakra, not even visible ... After that he got more then that some 3 times (Minato's powerup included)...
Aside from the fact that it wasn't "a small one" because he was drawing on Tsunade's chakra to use it, that doesn't change the argument at all. Using the inprefect Susanoo's and a Susanoo-less Madara as some sort of example against prefect Susanoo just doesn't work. And as previously mentioned, such an argument requires Madara and his clones to all be on their own. It would be impossible to use such a trick in the current situation, with Madara fighting the Alliance.

You are overestimating it. Warping a Bijuu is not a major upgrade, as that's the default strength of kamui shown by Obito. And how about the fact that the next time the Kyuubi gave Kakashi chakra, he was only able to use Kamui twice on himself before using it up. Or how about the fact that Naruto, with the whole Kyuubi availible to him, still ran out of chakra after a few techniques? This assumption, that despite all the techniques they already used, that the Alliance would still be capable of going on to use a bunch more costly techniques without running out is silly, especially since Naruto and his cloak form as a set time limit.

It will not be? Why?
Mokuton is not instant, it needs handseals... Madara is going to have a lot of people on his arse. He was overwhelmed before using rinnegan by a clone of Naruto, Gaara and Tsuck (+fodder...).

Naruto is balancing Kurama's chakra to create senjutsu, is how it works. Assuming a ton of chakra would not be snejutsu it would destabilize the crap. Going by what Pa said you need to have everything in balance. A ton of chakra from Kurama should brake SM.
Using Mokuton does not take but a moment, far shorter then building up a large Bijuu Blast. And how exactly is a non-seriously Madara using the riblet Susanoo being overwhelmed?

And? Naruto clearly has everything balance, in order for him to use Sage Mode with the Kyuubi cloak, which as we know, means that he's using the Kyuubi's chakra while the Kyuubi holds onto his chakra.

If Juubito's black shield can't then GL proving ST can. Even a Kurama-SM powered Rasengan from Naruto and Minato broke trough (even if they were sent back to).
Shinra Tensei isn't a physical force, there's nothing to break. And no, they didn;t break through.

Right... Because they are not inside super shields like Kurama mode and Susano mode... Oh w8...
The Kyuubi cloak doesn't block attacks. And while Susanoo can likely block it, that only means the real Naruto and Sasuke can't be hit. It really doesn't help against a lone Naruto or Hashirama or anyone else.

You mean like having the alliance ported away instantly or protected behing shields (Kurama, Susano, Mokuton from Hashirama, Gaara's sand, moutains from Tsukisage and so on)?
Madara has no need to be that generous... The ground itself would get carved out. It does not matter if he is under or above... Thing is he is going to be inside Susano if he feels like fighting here...
So you're gonna presume that their protections would protect them, and yet presume that Madara's protection would not be enough to protect him, despite him having just as many defenses? And where could they teleport? Unless they teleport away from the battlefield, they can't go anywhere safe. And the ground would not be carved out, not in that way.

lol? I hope were not assuming I was referring to hide inside a building from fallout... I was obviously referring to the explosion itself. For that you need bunkers...
Or a bomb shelter, which many homes could have...

They defeated him, clear and simple. He popped the tree after his most powerful defense failed (the black crap). Then he used some SUPER SHIELD IN FRONT and the SAGES SWORD... Both failed before Naruto/Sasuke's power combined.
No they didn't, otherwise that would have been the end of it. Not only by the fact that he survived, but because it was shown they couldn't get through, makes that moot. And he didn't use the same shield at the end.

That is because he needs direct contact with the object. He can get to the meteor EASY considering the number of people that can fly, even Sasuke's hawk.
Um, only two people can fly, and only one without a summoning. And as asked before, where exactly would he teleport it?

Dude he could only brake its neck because that is BEFORE he got chakra form Naruto/Kurama... This is the first time he got it:
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/609/9

Its CHAPTERS later man... This is also the first bit of chakra, not even visible he got... He whent from a human to a biju... That chakra has ben increased over and OVER both in potency and in quantity...

The meteor is bigger, thin is Kakashi got a ton more power from following infusion after warping a biju... All he needs to do is open a rift in front of the meteor and look at it going in rofl...
And? The claim you gave was that he was capable of teleporting something huge before being enhanced by the Kyuubi chakra, and thus he would be able to get the meteor because the Kyuubi chakra was a major upgrade. The fact is that he didn't start teleporting bigger things til after he got refreshed by the Kyuubi, making the idea that he would get some massive upgrade silly.

Naruto is what? JUST LOL... He ha Sasuke there, he has Hashirama and a ton other people to tangle with the dragon to keep it off of him... This is assuming you are somehow forgetting Naruto's Susano is covered in Susano so no dice... Why do you keep forgetting that part I wonder... The most powerful shit out there, Susano-Kurama...

Madara would be effected in the same way as Obito. SM attacks's weakness just meant that attack can hit him... I don't even see how this is relevant.
And? None of those thing would stop the Wooden Dragons from absorbing the Kyuubi's chakra, since according to your argument, everyone will be using it.

That doesn't work here, when we're discussing logical fighting. Obito wouldn't have lost had he actually fought logically too.

And you see Rasengan's bigger and smaller in SM... How the hell is that relevant? The fact that Kishi forget's Naruto has bigger bijudama's? Yes, granted...

Let me show you how you compare this, Rasengan with no SM:
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/645/9

With SM:
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/645/10

Do the same with Flashdama. By the above evidence its clear it would increase from 2,5 to 3 times as bigger.
The Rasengan is smaller because it was only from Minato. Of course it would be bigger when don eby two people instead of one. That's not the case with the Bijuu Blast, and as I showed, it wouldn't be that much bigger then the normal Bijuu Blast.

Get close to Hashirama with Mokuton? Are you serious? I am sure he can pop some himself and counter... Hell he is going to be up high on his summons.
That seems unlikely if he's using the Kyuubi's chakra, at least in the sense that his own Mokuton wouldn't negate the Kyuubi chakra itself. Anyway, Hashirama using Mokuton wouldn't necessarily counter Madara's Mokuton, it's not as if Mokuton is it's own weakness.

lol... The rest are moon... Just rofl and facepalm... The rest who could stop somebody with the sages power.
What? Please, show me where the rest of the Alliance stopped Obito. Heck, show me where they were even a threat to him.

Obito was using rods, the Mazo, chains and special abilities... Its not a genjutsu. You can be my guess and show me where anybody used the same power used on Kurama to control any other biju.
If Obito could control jins by looking at them Naruto and Bee would be long gone...
Now again show me where anybody did what you are saing.
We outright see Obito take control of the Gobi with his Sharingan, with it literally stating that it got taken control of. The chains don't control a Bijuu, only restrains them, as we saw with Kushina. Not only that, but Madara outright stated that the Bijuus were slaves, not merely the Kyuubi.

This entire fight is what? 10 minutes in the making? even you said so in some post when somebody asked how long it lasted lol...
As for current situation... I am sure today we can see it.
Which is exactly why I said Naruto should be beyond his limit. It is far beyond time for him to have run out, especially since he had previously been drained by the Shinju roots.

He did? The way I got to see it... Jubito used a super shield in front, he even used the sages sword... Thing is Naruto/Sasuke busted trough them... Jubito used the tree after Minato and Naruto busted trough his black shield, he was out of options...

He, himself could not believe they busted trough...

Funny fact, for you this super shield:
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/651/4

Is disregarding defense...

Second part the sword that made the world, the SAGES DAMN SWORD is disregarding offense... Just lol man...
Aside from Obito using a completely difference shield then before, he didn't even attempt to move, which fails when he was shown several times to be fast enough to react to and counter even Hiraishin. And Minato/Naruto didn't burst through his shield. Had they done that, then he would have been finished.

And how is engaging in a direct attack not disregarding offense when he was just before easily capable of owning both Naruto and Sasuke despite their usage of natural energy? Seriously, he could still block their attacks even though they were enhanced by natural energy, and he clearly could have won had he kept using those tactics, tactics enough to eliminate their defenses.

There's a difference between factual interpreting of the story and one's own opinion which adds extra stuff to the factual story but isn't factual because it's not confirmed by the manga. He wrote a theory which may or may not be true or he may believe it or may not. You still can't dismiss it until we know for sure and your arguments are more of your opinion (like he has his own) than of factual understanding.

And again, for it to be even possibly true, there would ahve to be some sort of basis for it, which there isn't. And little of my argument is base just on my "opinion".

Other than the handhold no jutsu, I'm serious. I don't think his use of Sage Mode is exceptional, and that him perfecting it shows his growth and potential. I mean, Naruto does no more than two or three jutsu in Sage Mode - rasengan, FRS, and kage bunshin. He added variants to rasengan and improved FRS significantly, but that's it. He should be learning more jutsu, not making the same old rasengan variants. You can't tell me knowing Swamp of the Underworld wouldn't have helped, or using fuuton as a fan for flame wouldn't have been useful as a combo attack.

Him learning variants doesn't exclude him from being a genius. Naruto being so much better than all those [stone] frog turned people is a great feat only achieved by himself in the last fifty years or so speaks volumes though.

But let's stop before the circle starts again. Nothing new will be said, no new information was given by Kishimoto.

Where was it said he was the only one to achieve that feat? Jiraiya was able to use Sage Mode as well without turning into a stone.

Just look at his face. XD And you implying that Jiraiya isn't special either? Naruto was a perfect sage, Jiraiya wasn't capable of reaching that level after decades of training. Yet he surely got the far more awesome jutsu in his repertoire.

Neither of us pointed out perfect or complete Sage Mode though, we only mentioned Sage Mode. In this instance, you were wrong, unless you meant to say perfect Sage Mode.

We don't know how much he trained though, though I'm assuming he attempted to perfect Sage Mode if databook stats are true about how he's a jutsu perfectionist. Even though Naruto attained the perfect Sage Mode, I'd still say Jiraiya's a better shinobi and better at using Sage Mode, given the jutsu he has, ability to summon bosses, and combination with Ma and Pa.

You should be more of a Sasuke fan, then. Because having variety in techniques doesn't have anything with one being a Genius or having Genius traits. Naruto perfected the Sage Mode, something that your beloved Jiraiya couldn't, in mere moments if you compare him to Jiraiya. That's exceptional, no matter how you look at it.

I mentioned perfection, I always do. And it's a given when you mention it because Naruto did it.

How is he better? How did you determine that other than by opinion and preference? Imperfected and perfected Sage Mode probably differ from each other a lot. Otherwise the level of completing it wouldn't matter. Variety is not in Naruto's character and it doesn't describe his ability. Kurama was the one who didn't allow fusion with Ma and Pa, not that Naruto couldn't do it.

I wasn't talking about genius, I was talking about who was better. Naruto may have perfected Sage Mode, but Jiraiya utilizes it better. I know variety doesn't make one a genius, I'm basing it on what they've shown. Jiraiya has shown to make do with Sage Mode pretty well despite not perfecting it or seemingly have some of the abilities that Naruto has. Although it may be exceptional, it could be better.

That said though, I'd rather see Naruto fight in Sage Mode than using Kyuubi's chakra. He's much better and strategizes more.


Opinion and preference? Your claim that Naruto is better is no different, it's opinion and preference as well. I'm not talking about mastering the mode, I"m talking about using it and utilizing it. If it's about mastery, there's no doubt Naruto is better than Jiraiya.

I was talking about combination attacks, not fusing. Naruto does not need to fuse with Ma and Pa to use combination attacks, though it'd probably be easier.

How does he utilize it better? Did he even destroy any of the Pain bodies? I can't seem to recall it. If you mean by utilizing better using more techniques, then we're back on variety.

I don't claim Naruto is better, but perfection and imperfection do have different meanings, don't they? Jiraiya used more techniques than Naruto in Sage Mode and that's the only difference. I don't know how else you could determine which usage is better.

That's, again, a way someone fights. Naruto is more of a one-shot dude, not a combo breaker. Doesn't mean it's better, just different.

Jiraiya took out three bodies and did well against Pain who was fighting smarter and better than he did against Naruto. It's not just using more techniques, but how he used it. It's like Naruto using Sage Mode to cut the drawbacks of FRS and improve it by making it expand, just better utilization. Jiraiya had Ma and Pa to help him, and not much information. Naruto had Ma, Pa, and the three boss toads to help him, along with information from Ma, Pa, and Katsuyu. But I don't wanna argue against Naruto vs. Pain, since that was an awesome fight from Naruto, and I think he was mentally at his best.

More techniques that made Jiraiya use Sage Mode better. I think FRS was the only thing that made Naruto make good use of Sage Mode. Against Pain anyway. Later on though, he used Sage Mode well to become like a human Sharingan and hit the Third Raikage, and I think take out the chakra rods from the jinchuuriki. Naruto would be better off learning more jutsu though, like Jiraiya did.

pain had two huge advantages in his fight with jaraiya that were not present in the fight with naruto

the lack of knowledge of his opponent

and his home field advantage in the rain village, becasue in konoha (especially with the place leveled) it was a wide open arena, with nowhere to really hide, which suits a power type fighter like naruto much better

in the rain village he was at a huge advantage , i wouldnt say he was fighting smarter, however he did have two huge advantages
