@Cyringohn:
None of that changes the fact that, without Kyuubi, he wouldn't be where he was today. Without Kyuubi, he would have lost to Neji a long time ago.
It's hard to follow Naruto's "struggle" when he's born with such an amazing source of power.
And, while this as been said before, without Byakugan Neji's fighting style would be reduced to puss slapping and spinning like a spaz.
Apparently the only way for Naruto to get respect is to be better then everyone with no advantage , luck, or benefit whatsoever. Nothing. Hell, even Rock Lee has a personal trainer (Gai).
I know…Naruto need's to be crippled. That'll fix this.
