Agreeing with DE. Furthermore, Raikage should have been able to dodge Naruto just the same...
Naruto's quick-thinking has always been the best thing about his fights, from the Hydro-prison-freeing-Shuriken to Neji's punch.. let's just say I'm glad to have it back in some sort of fashion.
Ever since he developed his nine-tails power as a weapon it's been more of a power-fight than anything else.
