I'm not talking about pain. I'm talking about the damage Naruto receives for the duration of the battle. Sure, he should feel "pain" upon taking the hit, but that shouldn't hurt him for the rest of the fight with his healing abilities.

ok, i can't give a completely clear answer to your question cuz only kishimoto is able to answer that, but my whole point on getting caught off guard still works. i don't think naruto is hurt real badly or anything, he just probably real surprised that sasuke whooped him so easily so he's probably stunned at that fact.
