i was hearing everyone saying how did sasukes punches hurt naruto well half of it was mentioned.

FIrst like already said the punches are counters which is using naurto's power agisnt him. Those punches alone naruto would quickly recover from and he wouldnt need to release more of the kyuubi. The reason that i did'nt see anyone mention was sasuke had kicked naruto head where it landed underwater. I mean how are you supposed to be recovring when you cant breath thats why naruto needed to get more power to reverse that situation. I dont care how much chakara a charater has he can still drown.


Oh and btw hotuma should have his own speacil group called "Flamemaster"
