As I said before, Neo let Smith consume him so he could kill the Smith Army, if he wanted to, he could have killed Mr Smith quickly, and then moved on to the army, and get killed.But he eliminated the Program.
He can bring himself back to life! How's Naruto going to compete with that?
Wrong. Watch the movies again.
After Smith consumed him, the big "god" of the machines killed him in the real world, killing by consequence Neo/Smith and all the other Smiths connected to him.
And Neo coming back to life was the process of becoming the One, he cannot do it all the time. The Oracle hints at that in the first movie:
Oracle : Open your mouth, say 'Ahhh!'Neo : Ahhh.
Oracle : Okay. Now I'm supposed to say..'Hmm, that's interesting', but then you say...
Neo : But...what?
Oracle : But you already know what I'm going to tell you.
Neo : I'm not The One.....
Oracle : Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something...
Neo : For what?
Oracle : Your next life maybe, who knows? That's the way these things go.
That was a hint of the Oracle that Neo would become the One, only in his "next life", after dying and coming back.
He cannot do it every time he wants.
About this fight... Neo dies. This thread is a curbstomp.
