d. a few other sets of jutsu b/c as it is, naruto is very limited to a few...
henge no jutsu -- orioke no jutsu -- harem no jutsu
bunshin no jutsu -- kage bunshin no jutsu
kuchiyose no jutsu
rasengan -- purple 1 tail kyubi rasengan -- oodama rasengan -- futon: rasen shuriken
...and transforming into kyubi (which sorta does not count because he goes totally berserk with 3+ tails kyubi)
First off, the only way he can counter sharingan/MS is by learning how to fight like Gai by watching the feet of the oponent. (which the special jounin/jounin teachers can't do themselves), also he goes berserk in 4tails mode not 3tails. They have also said they are trying to supress and not use kyubbi tails/chakra from now on (yes i know he uses chakra from kyubbi for shuriken rasengan, but thats because it's suck a high level jutsu he gets forced into it).

People are forgeting naruto has planned ahead during his fights. look at the fight against neji where he placed a bunshin in the hole, while he dug under neji to do a final blow. Also he is useing his bunshins to give him info about the enemies tecnique/speed/strength. That comment of him being average without kyubbi chakra is wrong because he has his own huge pool of chakra himself. Before all this kyubbi stuff ever happened at the begining kakashi said he had more chakra then anybody else.

The only major thing i think naruto needs is speed training for taijutsu, and maybe another element, either water, or fire. He probably wouldn't be good at genjutsu at all so i wouldn't expect him to learn any of that. Also stop calling both rasengans the same, they aren't. A regular rasengan wouldn't have taken all kakuzu's hearts. While the new one keeps hitting you with multiple hits like kakashi said.
