True say that. The Sharingan started out as being able to read movements really well and almost hypnotize you, and it turned in to having powers that could create an insatiable fire to having a giant monster fighter. So the writing has been consistently... weird. But still good to read.

For me the series has never addressed Naruto's own capability. I mean Sasuke had the Uchiha bloodline and Sharingan. Naruto has always had Kurama. It always seems like Naruto is borrowing power than generating his own. Hashirama, his predecessor, had massive chakra of his own and a bloodline limit. It has always made Naruto seems inherently weak compared to everyone else.
