We won't know who's the strongest until both Naruto and Sasuke meet on the field of battle again, but then again I'll agree, I think Naruto definitely has the advantage right now.

We can't sing victory yet for Naruto we can't forget that Sasuke has Itachi's eyes now gaining the EMS. Look what happened to Madara when he took his brother's eyes his sharigan became powerful really powerful who knows what dormant skills Sasuke will wake with his new sharingan. He might learned the space time ninjutsu of Madara along with a few new tricks. But like Toasty said it won't be confirmed who's stronger than who until Naruto and Sasuke fight again.

I wish Naruto would win because he thought he fought for one girl --> like how Haru won from Shiba in Rave

[Chivalrysae]

I wonder if Kishi will handicap Naruto's new abilities. It seems like everytime Naruto gains a new ability that makes him more powerful, there's always some little twist that limits his ability. i.e. Sage Mode and having to use his clones to gain natural energy (limit of 3 clones). The Rasenshuriken that can only be used in Sage Mode or it will destroy his hand. And of course the one that still bothers me. The Rasengan, which he still requires a clone to produce. I was hoping that by now he would have learned how to create it with just one hand like Jiraiya and Minato.

^ I don't hope so otherwise he won't really stand a chance vs Sasuke and his haxx eye powers. Naruto is supposed to get stronger then Sage of the 6 paths since his the child of the prophecy and all. Atleast thats what i am expecting.

I doubt Naruto's limited to Clone Rasengan by now. Though, he usually uses distraction to mask his attacks...Well, we'll see.

I don't think either of them would win , not only because Naruto said they would both die , but because for one of them to die it would just defeat the purpose of the story. The real answer is Naruto is stronger , simply because love is stronger then hate.

I can only remember one time when Naruto didn't use a clone to do his normal Rasengan, and that was when he went Kyuubi while fighting Sasuke (pre-timeskip). So if I missed something let me know. I remember in Sage Mode he needed clones when attacking Pein's summons.

makes me think both will die or sasuke will end up sacrificing himself to die instead and save naruto....which would be redemption.

Most likely Sasuke will end up sacrificing himself. The new generation surpassing the old is a theme that Kishi has used often. If Naruto kills Sasuke and dies, he actually won't have surpassed anything. Also, Sasuke won't have redeemed himself before dying.

Team 7 has often been considered a parallel of the Sannin. So essentially, Sasuke should eventually overcome his corruption. Naruto should accomplish Jiraiya's dream. And Sakura should be able to save the ones she loves.

Yes, also surpassing his father, Naruto will live and become Hokage, he and Sakura will marry and almost certainly the final chapter will show them with children.

The thing is, if this quote from Narutopedia is accurate, then perhaps Naruto's problem with chakra control (which he's had since the beginning) might not be a problem anymore.

Naruto's normal chakra level is considered extremely high, partially because of the Nine-Tails. The seal allowed a small amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra to always mix with Naruto's own. Jiraiya once commented upon the fact that Naruto's body was much too small a vessel to properly contain the Nine-Tails' chakra, and his body would instinctively reject the bulk of it due to the damage it could cause. Ebisu implied that Naruto's poor chakra control stemed from this, as a portion of his chakra was used to reject the Nine-Tails' overwhelming chakra.

If that's the case, then since Naruto's chakra and the Fox's chakra are seperated, him only using the Fox's if he wants to, then there should be nothing stopping him from using moves like Rasengan without the aid of clones, except for some practice since he's not use to it.

i just hope kishi doesn't pull a lame emotionless "oh main two characters have magically been married and have kids" like a lot of mangas do. I want something a little bit more emotional like meeting his mother and everything in between. That was good writing that made me feel the true emotions and really enjoy the chapter.

Not so much marrying Sakura and having children as staying alive afterwards. After all, Minato and Kushina made it long enough to have a child but that's it.

Not so much just becoming Hokage either. But becoming a Hokage surpassing all others.(or at least his father) Accomplishing Jiraiya's dream, I think, would qualify as that.

I thought about mentioning this earlier but decided not to...I think what was also a part of Sakura surpassing Tsunade was overcoming her misconceptions she had about Naruto. That always seemed to be an issue Tsunade had with Jiraiya. Also, overcoming her past. I didn't mention it because I feel Sakura's pretty much already accomplished those for the most part.

Naruto and Sakura will also surpass Minato and Kushina is what I meant. They will both live to see their children growing up, Naruto will surpass his father and all earlier Hokage (even Hahshirama- who made a world more peaceful than the one he was born into, and he and Mito both lived to see at least one of their grandchildren- Tsunade. Mito lived long enough to see her granddaughter become young woman in her 20's- Tsunade was born right around 13 years before Minato and Kushina) Actually it would be kind of cool as the final chapter if Kishimoto jumps to Naruto and Sakura as grandparents, soon to be great grandparents, living in a radically different world than what they grew up in.

Honestly ? At this point, I'll just be content when NaruSaku is canon. Dealing with some of the more...fanatical...fans from elsewhere has given me a headache...from overabundant use of conjecture as facts...
