Go watch the fight with Akamaru again. You misinterpreted it. He doesn't win because he is the main character, he wins BECAUSE THE AUTHOR DREW IT LIKE THAT. The author can draw sakura beating gaara if he wants. |

.. or sakura beating itachi up, because she blocks his mange with her overlarge forhead...
some random guy: you are dumb. he knows one is naruto, one is akamaru. one smells like akamaru. he attacks the other one. naruto turns into naruto, then to akamaru as soon as he is hit. since he accidentally attacked akamaru (seemingly) he attacks the REAL akamaru, or what HE THINKS is naruto.

I don't know if the anime series follows the manga storyline closely, but I think some of you people are not completely understanding the nature of naruto's character.
Naruto is pretty much the average character (maybe even below average), but due to his desire of being acknowlged he is improving himself. If he beats his opponets is because he is being understimated, and is not his fault. Even neiji said he was 'careless' when he lost. Naruto has no distinctive fighting style, and that shouldn't be a surprise. He has been pretty much making it on his own, practicing on his own. Must adults don't like him and very few of the kids hang around him. I don't think many of the adults took interest in teaching him anything about being a ninja or any special moves. Is clearly shown how Hinata is being trained in one episode. I'm sure neiji's dad trained him too. I think he has come a long way trying to show everyone his existance rather than hating people for the animosity shown to him. I'm surprised of he turned out 'ok' despite having a sealed demoned inside him. I say.. Hats off to Naruto! |

Gaara was thought to be too strong by his father, the razekage, and his father sent several assasins to kill Gaara eversince he was little.... which makes gaara think negatively.. Naruto was hated by the people, but he was shielded and protected by the Hokage so no one did anything drastic like try to kill him when he was little making Naruto believe he has to get people to love and acknowledge him.. |

Your last sentence, the author drawing it that way...that's the same thing as I'm saying...the only reason he wins that fight is because the author wants him to win. It doesn't follow any of the "logic" if you will, of the series so far. The fight vs. Neji at least has trickery that Neji would fall for...but why would Kiba think Akamaru all of a sudden smelled like Naruto, and then actually attack Akamaru? As far as him helping his teammates, and fighting as a team...what did jumping into the ice prison do for Sasuke? He...almost gets him killed. And then all the missions before that where Naruto screwed up? (The weeds, the dog in the minefield...) At this point in the anime, Naruto's still got HUGE holes in his ninja development. He's almost like Rock Lee...but he can plug these holes up...he's getting better (The fight vs. the Sound guys in the forest.) it's just that he still fights stupidly right now.

Here's how I understand that happening. Naruto clones into a clone of Kiba, same form Akamaru's in. Kiba says, that's stupid I know Akamaru's smell. Hits one of the clones. Sees Akamaru pop out. Proceeds to hit other clone, which is actually Akamaru. Naruto then kicks his ass. Problem with that scenario is. Naruto in Akamaru form STILL SMELLS LIKE NARUTO. Unless his Akamaru somewhere along the way learned some "Mimic Smell" jutsu that Kiba is aware of, Kiba has NO REASON to think that Naruto disguised as Akamaru is NOT Naruto. He should see the clone of himself turn into Akamaru, then say, "Hey, guess what? You STILL SMELL LIKE NARUTO, and Akamaru stills smells like Akamaru! That's the dumbest trick ever!" and then go pound the crap out of Naruto disguised as Akamaru while he's on the ground. Put simpler: When confronted with two clones of himself, he knows that the only accurate targeting information he has is Akamaru's scent. Target A smells like Akamaru, Target B does not. He attacks target B, which changes into a different form, but still does not meet the criteria of smelling like Akamaru, while target A, STILL SMELLS LIKE AKAMARU. His smell was the ONLY piece of information he was relying on in the first place. He knew he couldn't trust his sight, only his smell...yet because the author writes it in, he then discards that and loses the fight. Is that not how the fight went? |

Yes, I was actually surprised when Kiba fell for that trick. The real Aka-Kiba smelled like Akamaru, and Naru-Kiba smelled like Naruto. Kiba had no reason to doubt his nose. Maybe he just paniced because he thought he punched Akamaru.
Anyway, Uh, Naruto is not alive because of others. Yes Sasuke did save him during Haku fight, but there are times when Naruto saved his teammate's arses too. For example when (don't read if you don't read manga): Spoiler:

If Kiba had really hit Akamaru instead of Kiba then the one behind him had a chance to knock him unconscious or whatever... so Kiba in a panicked state did not think much and hit Akamaru..... and what further proves this is when Kiba bites his own hand and tells himself to calm down... and Kakashi then says that he had calmed down and asks naruto what he would do then... but this is what i think =/ |

Naruto's fart

Or maybe kiba was still suffering side effects from naruto's fart, so he didn't 100% trust his nose |
