How much of Naruto's power is Kyuubi's?

[Yogi]

Since Naruto has a demon sealed within him, one must wonder how much strength the demon lends? We know that Naruto is posessed of amazing stamina and recovery ability, which includes healing wounds instantly. While his beserker rages are clearly empowered by Kyuubi, how much of his "normal" fighting power is a result of the demon.

With Kyuubi sealed by Orochimaru, we see Naruto create his standard Army of Clones and have them attack for an entire night, and still have enough stamina to finish three sound nin off. He also maneged to beat Kiba, be dancing around afterwards, and then heal hos wounds instantly (though it may have something to do with Hinata's healing cream.)

So, while we know he has a lot of power, he never demonstrated his ability to create Thousands of Clones, nor his ability to recover stamina very quickly while Kyuubi was sealed. Does that imply that that power comes from Kyuubi, or was it simply not shown.

Anyone with additional information, please help.

It's impossible for us to know how much power Naruto really has without Kyuubi, because Kyuubi is an inseparable part of Naruto now. He's grown up with it and their chakra is merging. Kyuubi had a good deal to do with why Naruto was such a crappy ninja in his c hildhood(we are told that Kyuubi makes his chakra difficult to control). Obviously, he draws directly from Kyuubi for things like summoning Gama Bunta(the thousand clones thing is debatable). Other abnormal displays of chakra(like whenever he uses more than a handful of kage bunshins) come from his normal chakra pool, but that also is unusually large because of the gradual merging with Kyuubi so one could say he draws that power from Kyuubi as well.

In other words, all of Naruto's ninja skills come from Kyuubi one way or another. He can't help it. There's no way for us to know where he would be without it.

The series will end as Naruto is a very old man already passed the torch to a new hokage and is telling the story of his life to young village children as his sons wife finishes giving birth to his grandson. Afterwhich, he finishes telling the story, some kid will ask how it ends and he'l say it hasn't ended yet. Then he'll goto where the newborn grandson is at. His son will greet him adn the wife will tell him the name is "Naruto" after his grandfather. Grandpa Naruto will luagh and then in a great flurry of power and "Aww" he will transfer Kyuubi into his grandson, blonde hair and all. Then grandpa naruto will say "My grandson, This is my gift to you. May you use this power to protect your "precious" people and in return may this great power protect you untill you are able to protect yourself." Then flash forward to Naruto Jr. playing with other kids happily, learning ninja skills from the 6th hokage "grandpa naruto". and finaly ending with naruto Jr's chunnin exam final loss to Uchiha Sakura. Yes, shocking Sakura and sasuke did finaly revive the clan and their granddaughter was named after sakura (and no she isn't a useless ninja) but she does slap the crap outoff Naruto Jr. after inner uchiha Sakura is alerted to Naruto Jr's giggling after he undresses her with his "Byakugan" eyes! Yes Naruto Jr's Grandmother is none other then HINATA. Yay, all is well and the series ends as happily as it started out.
