Who's stronger now?

[Shikamaru Nara]

In terms of real strength.

It was to my belief in the past that Sasuke was stronger than Naruto, but now that Naruto has gained control of the Kyuubi, the answer may vary.

So is Naruto or Sasuke faster now, to date?

[Freshmen Academy Student]

Sasuke.

[madara']

I would say Sasuke is strength and speed and Naruto in strength. Naruto needs to work on his speed a little bit more.

[Throw Rasen-Shuriken]

Naruto has been working the most on improvement to himself, considering the battles that he has fought compared to those of Sasuke, he seems to be stronger, though that might not have been the case if he hadn't had the excess power that he has within him, Naruto has gotten quicker, also considering his heritage there's the possibility, that he is likely to get faster still, I tend to think that Sasuke has kind of plateaued for the moment, considering he's roaming around after his own ambitions, while he was doing that, Naruto was improving himself at times more further.

[GaaraXSaiFan]

Hm... I can't really decide... I say both of them are at the same level.

[TheTrueMasterofIllusions]

Naruto's gonna get his butt whooped...Sasuke's gonna be sealed...Sakura is gonna well be depressed...Kakashi is gonna be......well, Kakashi...

[moonwatcher]

Sasuke

[HyuugaSenju]

they are probably at the same lvl = if they fight again the battle will be more intense

[naruto_jock]

Well it depends on how you judge through each of their strengths. Even though we haven't seen Sasuke's EMS yet, we all know that he can take Susanoo to the third level like he did when he was about to fight Kakashi. His Tsukuyomi will be intense as well. And his Amaterasu will be able to spread out a lot more. His speed hasn't changed since the last time, only his strength has changed.

Naruto knows how to go into sage mode so that's a plus to his strength. He also knows how to control kyuubi mode so that's a huge point for his strength and speed. If Naruto can keep up with the Raikage when the Raikage was behind Naruto's father in speed I think it's fair to say that Naruto might be faster than Sasuke at this point since we haven't seen either of them fight.

So I think in terms of strength, new jutsu, and more experience in tense battles this goes to Naruto yet the battle between Sasuke and Naruto won't be a battle without emotions flying everywhere so that throws a monkey wrench in everyone's decision so I think it will end with both of the dying. Unless Naruto is brought back to life somehow with kyuubi and all.

[Faith]

Sasuke is way stronger.

[vermillion rage 7]

this is hard to say putting the facts down:

Susanoo naruto can't counter

sasuke can't counter rasen shuriken

Naruto can break out of tuskuyomi

Sasuke can do amaterasu but naruto can counter it

i have to say it's a tie

[Sharingan_Warrior]

I say Naruto because believe or not Naruto has become smarter on the battlefield. Where as Sasuke will become over confident in his abilities and die..........by snu snu

[Dezy]

And wwho did he have Snu snu with???Heheh

[RogueVixen]

ill stick with Sasuke

[Sakumo Hatake]

Naruto is stronger and faster, he can use the yellow flash.

[Chiku]

naruto, because as far as we know, sasuke hasent gotten any stronger for a while, now naruto has control over the kyuubi, so i say naruto would win, if they ever did fight again.

[Roosevelt]

naruto now, by far

[DarkSteel Ninja]

they`re actually equal. cuz in the show on this website naruto said that if they fight they will both die so.

[kaito uzumaki]

i dunno....though now that sasukes getting itachi eyes hell get eternal mangekyo...im pretty sure he could kick narutos ass now lol

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

idk..hard to tell

[yellow_unicorn]

how could sasuke be stronger than naruto now? if you're following the manga, naruto pulled off three new rasegan jutsu tech. ( mini rasen-shuriken <333) and are you kidding me??? Sasuke speed vs. the yellow flash?? i mean com on, naruto dodged Raikage full speed punch! how could sasuke match that? plus naruto control the fox's power now ( which i think is him since the fourth sealed half of fox chakra inside him, it's possible that fox can take in naruto chakra b/c it goes both way) anywayy EMS jus only mean he won't go blind...sadly. as for strenght, i think it's naruto still b/c of his frog fu. if they both fight...and if naruto would actual plan to kill sasuke which he won't, then he beat sasuke. PPL NEEDS TO STOP THINKING THAT NARUTO IS WEAK -.-

[Esmeray]

Susano'o carries Sasuke.

The power of the Raikage couldn't even break his Susano'o

Tell me how Naruto is going to

[Vivi]

Susano'o carries Sasuke.

The power of the Raikage couldn't even break his Susano'o

Tell me how Naruto is going to

Fuuton: Rasen-Shuriken.

Now add in Clones and that he can create them without help now.

[kaito uzumaki]

still jus because naruto has rasenshuriken i dont think itl work aginst something like Susano'o...
on the other hand sasuke will be trying to kill naruto...naruto said the both die but he wont be trying......unless he decides killing him is where he wants to go....and i dont think it is.

[Ninjasummer]

I would say they're about even in overall skill. Sasuke is more talented in terms of natural ability(excludes Naruto's kyuubi). Naruto works harder and has more motivation to bring Sasuke back than Sasuke does killing Naruto. Sasuke has talents Naruto can't handle, and Naruto has justus Sasuke can't handle.
They're even at 50/50 chance to win now. If they fought based on this, they would probably both die. I think Naruto's Kyuubi could fill Naruto with just enough to overcome Sasuke.
To Naruto, Sasuke is like a brother, and he is obsessed with returning him to Konoha not only for Sakura but for himself. To Sasuke, Naruto is just a big obstacle in the way of his goal.

[akatsuki_member246]

I believe that it it a tie as of now. Naruto has the Kyuubi, has developed his Rasengan into many different skills and has learned how to use Sage Mode, and Sasuke has the Eternal Mangekyou, Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, and Susano'o, they would probably tie, mainly because of Naruto being a Kyuubi and having the extra chakra to fall back on.

[General God Mod]

Sasuke's gotta be faster, Naruto's just weighed down by that heart o' gold

[Yin-yang release sannin]

Naruto is way better in term of
- Strength (sage&kyuubi combined mode)
- Speed (Yellow-flash speed)
- Combat/battle sense and maturity (understand people's emotion & good composure)
I just pity sasuke even in EMS and for the Susanoo Naruto will find a way to penetrate it.
Naruto rocks! Yay!

[Warsaw504]

naruto hands down

[calinarutoguy]

The limit to Sasuno is that it can't be used that long because it wears down the user's chakra and makes them blind. We haven't seen anyone (i.e. Madara) use the Sasuno with the EMS, so where Sasuke gains the EMS, we won't know how that affects his use of Sasuno.

Naruto is clearly the fastest ninja in the series right now... if you take away Sasuno, he is also the strongest. So the question is, can Sasuno be sustained long enough to fight off Naruto? I don't know. If it can't, Naruto wins in both strength and speed hands down... for now.

We also don't know how much stronger/faster Sasuke will be once he fully gets used to having the EMS.

[Mrs Kakashi Hatake]

I would say that Naruto would be stronger as he fights with all of his heart and soul
for the goodness of the cause.
Where as Sasuke still fights for vengeance which in the end only ends in tears.

[The Sixth Hokage]

Naruto has the best improvement from all characters, but still he's a little bit weaker that Sasuke because Sasuke was quiet a lot stronger than Naruto in the first part of anime; but anyway Naruto will soon become as good as Sasuke is.

[rados]

Naruto and Madara are the strongest!!!

[rinneganforce]

Naruto def. Also in one of the recent manga chapters itachi says naruto is stronger then sasuke at his current level. And itachi knows sasuke better then anyone except for naruto.

[FlashHeaven]

Naruto def. Also in one of the recent manga chapters itachi says naruto is stronger then sasuke at his current level. And itachi knows sasuke better then anyone except for naruto.

Itachi never said, Naruto is stronger than Sasuke. Remember Itachi doesn't even know about all of Sasuke's power. Now im not saying that Naruto is weak or anything cause he has grown as a very powerful ninja, but if Itachi meant that he can beat Sasuke he must have meant the Sasuke he fought. He told Naruto in that manga to never take everything on his own, because he has friends that are there to help him and to never forget the people that made him strong, because it would turn him like to an arrogant madara. He also told him that he won't be able to use Shisui's Genjutsu cause its useless against Sasuke, but since he has the same goals and feelings like Shisui he can stop Sasuke without the eye. If Naruto could use the Genjutsu on Sasuke and if it worked than there wouldn't be a battle between them because the crow would activate if Sasuke would use the EMS. Itachi being there just made Naruto realize many things and i notice it. He told Naruto to not forget his friends because that made him stronger (because he would be arrogant), When he fought along Itachi and Bee against Nagato. Itachi said that every move has a weakness. Now Naruto when he fights Sasuke he will be more skilled thanks to Itachi's explanations. Itachi also told him that he doesn't have to take everything always by himself. Naruto might be able to tell Sasuke about what Itachi taught him, because at some point in the fight they will have to talk. Sasuke sooner or later might be conviced. Sasuke's fate to me is cloudy because idk if he will ever change, but Shippuden is mainly made to save Sasuke, nothing else to really say. The only scenarios i see is that either Sasuke dies as a hero or becomes a hero and maybe accepted. The last thing ill say is that the both dying thing if it happens than one of them must be revived or it was just the hooks. Naruto killing Sasuke would be so lame and would ruin the story in an epic way. Sasuke could of killed him, but never has. Naruto's mission is to defeat Sasuke and get him back to the old way he was. So in the battle maybe Naruto will win and i say maybe since he has never beated Sasuke.

[Coffee]

ehhh, I hate to say it but I think Sasuke has an upper hand now, he's a little smarter than naruto and can use the cheating Susano'o and amaterasu as much as he likes. Naruto can do a lot of extra things now as well but his last battle when he was forced to think fast he kinda didn't do so well

[rados]

Madara/Tobi definitely!!!

[The Sixth Hokage]

Madara/Tobi definitely!!!

The Thread is about Sasuke vs Naruto o.o"

[rinneganforce]

So in the battle maybe Naruto will win and i say maybe since he has never beated Sasuke. Yeah but itachi actually said naruto is stronger then sasuke right now at his level. How do you know itachi doesn't know sasuke's strength right now? He does. Itachi knows and predicts that sasuke will take his eyes and become stronger duh. So of course itachi knows that sasuke is alot of stronger now and so is naruto. Your whole post is just repeating the manga. Sasuke now has the full MS, and itachi had it too. Itachi also knows more about susanoo and has perfected it much better then sasuke, who can't sustain it as well as itachi. Exactly now sasuke will seek after other sharinagan jutsu. Itachi knows how strong sasuke is, he of course predicted he would take his eyes and earn the eternal MS. Itachi knows that naruto will win because of he knows what sasuke is capable of obviously being a uchiha with the same power. Itachi knows how strong sasuke is right now, and he said it.

[Shikamaru Nara]

Sasuke's EMS powers may change the outcome now.

[Warsaw504]

Susano'o carries Sasuke.

The power of the Raikage couldn't even break his Susano'o

Tell me how Naruto is going to

I think RaiKage actually broke a small piece off with one hit if i remember correctly

[Warsaw504]

I think naruto or no1 because sasuke might find out what madaras doing or he might kno and naruto and sasuke end up fighting madara one of them dies (AKA Sasuke) to repent for things he has done but if they where to fight my bets is naruto

[FlashHeaven]

Yes i repeated some parts to tell that the main point is that he saw Naruto's determination to stop the war and sasuke, but Itachi said that he is leaving Sasuke in Naruto hands. Naruto has never beated Sasuke and i mean never. So the way i see Naruto could win, but we dont know all of Sasuke's power, because just because he got the EMS i bet he got some new power besides not being completely blind. Sasuke went to the Five Kage Summit and he sustained it pretty well the thing is that he didn't have a weapon till his fight with Danzo. He struggled to maintain cause he struggled to sustain the pain and it obviously took its toll. When he fought Danzo he had better control overall and grew the Susanoo's Bow. He grew the ultimate form of Susanoo when he fought Kakashi, but his chakra was running out and his eyes were fading almost to complete blindness. Naruto and Sasuke will give us a match, but the question is whos resolve is stronger? U see Sasuke wants to achieve his goals and they must be achieved no matter who gets in the way. Naruto wants to stop Sasuke from being in the way of revenge and prevent him from making chaos. People keep saying Naruto will win and has he won against Sasuke nope. He lost twice to him already. Remember what Naruto has said that Sasuke has always been a step ahead of him. So i see this like a possible Tie, in the worst case. If one had to win well i would love to say Naruto, but Sasuke has won every match (except the Hospital). Itachi clearly knows Sasukes sword skills + Plus chidori and katons. He doesnt know his perfect control of Amaterasu or his clever use of his Tsukuyomi. Or the power of his Susanoo. Itachi just knew that Sasuke had to get the EMS because he would blind sooner or later and would not have much of a choice. So you say that Itachi said that Naruto will beat Sasuke is ridiculous, he said he will stop him, not beat him and thats by probably convincing him to be the old Sasuke.

[Devils Lawyer]

Naruto based on feats. Speed he completely surpassed A. Even though he did get dominated by A at first. But so did Sasuke. As far as power goes he completely dominates. Without trying he shoots of rasengans the size of Gama if not larger. Sasuke of course will probably get another power spike though.

You know what I meant, of course why would naruto want to beat sasuke he wants to stop him. I didn't mean to say that he wants to beat him, but save him and itachi said that he will. Yeah, it could go either way not much to discuss. What i meant is you don't need to restate all stuff that has happened/happening in the manga but instead discuss it.

Its a battle so one has to win and the other lose its so simple. Naruto doesn't have much of a choice does he. If Sasuke does agree and stop then the match is with a No Outcome situation, so we'll see and i like pointing out facts, unlike u so that's why i bring out all the cards, pal.

I don't understand what your trying to say, another obvious fact your saying is this. "Its a battle so one has to win and the other lost its so simple."

Of course naruto doesn't have a choice, he's trying to save the narutoverse on his own. How did you get on the matter of sasuke agreeing to stop and stopping the fight with naruto and having no one lose. It's about who is stronger right now in the manga, which is very debateable. How about we just wait and see?
