It was over. He went batshit crazy when he was struck by Chidori. He stopped his transformation, and then had to be carried by Kankuro once Baki told them to retreat. So no, the same thing would not have happened.

Because Sasuke was still superior to the Naruto that beat Neji? The mode Naruto used to overpower Sasuke at VotE was far more powerful than the one he used to beat Neji. He needs specific triggers to enter the former which won't be happening unless Sasuke tries to kill him in their fight and/or he is extremely bloodlusted.

Ok. Whether or not he would use them was not my original point. the point is, given the showings, during the invasion, Naruto was more powerful than Sasuke. The fact that his powered had to be triggered does not lessen the fact that he reached a level that at the point Sasuke could not reach. that's all I'm saying.

I cannot recall anything that makes Sakura faster than Temari.

Lawl, Kankuro beat a Sasori who had no puppets and with the help of Sai and Omoi. Chouji would beat Kankuro like Shikamaru beats himself off to Kankuro's sister every night. Also Temari >>>

That's because you're a loser.

Afraid not. Kankuro would one-shot Temari.

Temari blocking even weighted Lee is still above anything I care to recall Sakura doing.

And Temari would one-shot Kankuro.

Si. If Gamabunta was summoned, Naruto could beat a lot of people. But this forgets the fact that 1) Naruto tends not to use summons unless it's for something big and 2) Gamabunta would not waste his time on anyone small. Which leaves Naruto with Kyuubi charaka up against the faster Sasuke. Who can move as fast as Rock Lee, the guy who did make Naruto look like a joke.

He also made Sasuke look like a joke at that time so....... 😕
Kyuubi mode also amps naruto's speed as well.

Temari blocking a non-serious weighted Lee is not the equivelant to her showing against Sasori.

Kankuro could do it from multiple angles and block her attacks with puppets my son.

Sasuke got demonstrably better in the categories Lee stomped him in. Naruto did not.

Indeed. Kyuubi mode gives Naruto speed that might well be at Lee's level. But then, Sasuke has the Curse Seal. 2 amps>one.

I pretty much agree with this. Although, I still say the more impressive feat from that battle was her dodging the thousands of poisoned needles, but that was with the old lady's help.

Where is Random Love Letter Guy? 🙁

He looked pretty serious. Is Lee ever not serious? When he's not drunk at least. Anyway, he was mad pissed at her. And I can't recall Sasori's puppets being that fast either.

Kankuro's puppets havn't shown durability enough to block her Quick Beheading Dance. Nottomention that she can apparantly do it multiple times.

Actually, I remember Akiba say his fang over fang was an extremely fast attack, and yet Naruto was able to dodge it. Even when they took pills to increase their skills. Not everytime, but he dodged it.

Not during the invasion, but during the fight against Gaara/Shukaku, a very specific moment, yes, he was more powerful than Sasuke. Though this was entirely due to Gamabunta. While we include summons when it comes to power, Naruto never really uses Summons unless the plot calls for it.

Again, context matters. That level isn't something he can trigger at will. He only reached that level at VotE, which was long after the Chuunin exam arc, and Sasuke surpassed him in moments when his Sharingan advanced, which Naruto then surpassed when he got a new power-up, until Sasuke barely edged him out thanks to CS2.

The only point I was trying to make is that Sasuke has not always been more powerful than Naruto. That's it. I have no problem at all accepting that it's back and forth issue with those two, and for the most part, they are fairly even up to now, in which point i think Naruto has the advantage. i will also accept that before the Invasion arc, sasuke would have curb stomped naruto

It wasn't stated to be fast. And his method of dodging was actually using chakra control. And both his teammates are better than him at that.

Kiba does have one of the highest speed rankings of the Konoha 12-

3.5 during the Naruto fight. 4 during the retrieval arc. 4.5 post-timeskip.

Maybe it was the Anime where it was stated to be fast. Regardless the pills increased his speed.

Thanks man. Is the Naruto Wiki considered a valid source?

Notice how beat up Lee is when he attacks Temari, probably due to losing to the Sound nin. 🙂

Compare this to Temari, who is effectively fresh, due to having an instant win button as a little brother.

She also only dodged one, relatively straightforward attack.

The Third Kazekage's Iron Sand was very fast, making sonic booms my son.

Can't they? Sasori's should be able to. Beyond that, Kankuro due to puppet substitution and the ability to repair puppets is actually pretty mobile.

Also, why do you ignore the context of Temari's thoughts? She said it was her only hope, and the context paints it as a desperate solution.

My son.
