your missing the point of the sasuke power ups. look how easy they are coming as opposed to narutos. Naruto has had to work hard and earn every power up he ever gained. Sasuke has had them practically handed to him on a silver platter via his sharingan or Orochimarus experiments or the cursed seal.
and thats the key. Sasuke has gained power the cheap easy way, and that is why he has constantly and will continue to constantly fail when it becomes important for him to do so.
Naruto will ultimately when it is important to succeed be victorious because he has worked hard and earned it.
thats the key, the themes of hard work and courage and protecting those precious to you are what will win out in the end. When all the powerups and chakra and special techniques come to naught and they are reduced to a final clash of fists its the one in orange thats going to be raised in victory.
actually i think itll be the gloved pink one thatll swat the uchiha on the noggin but thats jsut me LOL

No one disagree's with that Catsi, and we know that.
But the thing is Where Sasuke gets these free upgrades without trying, Naruto isn't even rewarded with his hard work the same way everyone else who spends as many hours powering up.
He learnt the Rasengan, but because of the Fox he had to use the clones to do what anyone else would manage with one hard if they put in the same amount of hours, He learnt the RasenShurken but was told he couldn't use it because it would destroy his hand, yet the Kyuubi can heal a gaping hole the chidori produced at the VoTE, And when he mastered the Sage mode at a level not even Jiaraya did, he had to once again rely on clones to gather natural enery for him, which in the long run has it's limitations as he can only produce three clones at a time, where if there was no Kyuubi sealed in him he could do it properly and the natural chakra would always be gathering and he'd be able to on for much longer in battle.
It's just so frustrating to See Sasuke get these Freebies, (Which are freebies,, you tell me how you can explain Sasuke being able to control the Ameratsu, better than Itachi who was a better ninja in every sense than him, What makes his MS so much better than Itachi's that it came with built in Ameratsu control instrctions?) Yet with Naruto he has to struggle to achieve the things every other ninja wouldn't have to if in his shoes, if it's producing a clone, or Chakra control or the Rasengan or Sage trainng, Naruto had to do things differently to achieve the same goals.
It makes you respect Naruto all the more but it also pisses you off how he has to work twice as hard and do things differently when Sasuke seems to get things handed to him, add to that the current part about basically Naruto being Fate's whipping boy and his main purpose in the manga is to save Sasuke, not what we originally thought of him gaining the respect of other ninja's and proving his worth to the people who looked down at him. It seems like such a waste, all this training and hard work is to save a man not worth saving.
I know the purpose of the manga is the difference between what's right and what's easy, (As Dumbledore put it, and I wasn't happy with how that series ended either.) but damn it sometimes what's easy is the right thing to do, and that's giving up on Sasuke.
