i noticed a common thing going on where people capable of way more then Naruto lose in stupid ways thats all, its like the kyubi is the only thing he has going for him in fights. Its not that i dont like Naruto or anything i reckon hes funny as but honestly everyone else hes fought has been awesome and really shown some talent and hes been sort of an anti climax.
Everyone expects the strongest battles to come last but i think that we're witnessing the strongest battle at the moment, if Kidormaru was against anyone else they would be dead by now.
