Naruto vs. The growing gauntlet

Naruto (gets 5 minutes to prepare)

vs.

1.) Sakura
2.) Neji
3.) Rock Lee
4.) Shikamaru
5.) Choji
6.) Guy
7.) Tsunade
8.) Kakashi
9.) Jiraiya
Rest 10 minutes
10.) Sasuke (Pre-EMS)

This gauntlet works on the principle that once the current fighter gets in serious trouble the next one jumps in.(i.e. once Sakura gets in trouble, Neji jumps in to save her). This is a continuous fight so Naruto gets no rest.HOWEVER an exception is made for the final fight where he gets 10 minutes to heal and prepare for Sasuke. Fight take place where the
Chunin exams were held. So does he make it through or is to much for him? And if so when does it gets to much for him?

What are his restrictions? Can he go into sage mode? Super Sayin Sage mode? Can he turn Kyuubi? How many tails? etc.

He'll stop dead cold at Guy unless he can go full Kyuubi. Then obviously stops at Sasuke.

Base Naruto clears around 3, sage 5, superkyubi anywhere from 6-8 given that it should be above sage mode.
1-4 tails clears 5, 5-6 tails clears 8 and 7-9 clears it all unless Jiraiya or Sasuke have a way to counter.

Naruto clears 1 and 2 without sage mode.

He clears, with ease, up through 5, with sage mode. With Guy, he just uses his Kyuubi Chakra to pwn 7 gates Guy, Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

He clears Sasuke without his Kyuubi chakra, but in Sage Mode, easily.

He can do whatever he wants. However keep in mind he is in character so he wont go tailed beats unless he feels like he is about to die. Also, you all do realize that unless he can one shot them he could end up fighting three to four people at one time.

Sasuke can just go into his head and forcefully supress the chakra. If Naruto's past 4 tails, I don't know if it'll be as easy as it was for Sasuke when he previously supressed the Kyuubi.

Anyway, I don't see Naruto having any trouble until Shikamaru jumps in, at which point, he'll at least need Sage Mode, if not Kyuubi chakra mode, to escape the Shadow Mimic (provided Shikamaru has the others to help him corner Naruto).

If he's in character, he won't be using Rasenshuriken or his SM Rasengan techs against his friends, except for Sasuke. If the other characters are in character, I don't see them using their big guns either, except for Sasuke again.
In which case, he'll make it to Jiraiya, who traps him inside the Toad's belly.awesome

Do the other fighters get prep?

No they just jump in. But while some are fighting him other can prepare techniques asuming naruto doesn't intervene

It really depends on the Naruto we're using. If we're using the Naruto that fought Pain, i.e the one who would unwillingly turn into Kyuubi at the sight of danger, he'll make it all the way to Sasuke.

If not and we're using this Naruto...

He will stop at Guy.

Also, quite the Naruto wankage going on here huh? Like Mother like son I suppose. Base Naruto, i.e nothing powering him up, does less to impress me than Sakura, who would honestly give base Naruto a hell of a fight. Actually more so what with that whole poison business.

It took a lot more than the sight of danger to make him transform.

The setup of the gauntlet also makes it tricky- it means he can't save Sage for when he needs it, but rather will have it for about the first five minutes whether he'd rather save it or not.

There hasn't been much Kushina wankage around here. A few people really underestimating her abilities, one or two overestimating them, but more the former than the latter.

He does have Rasengan and variants (Giant Rasengan), as well as having gotten reasonably good at taijutsu and more skilled with clones. Even base Naruto is a pretty good fighter.

Stops @ 8.

He has no real need for it against Sakura unless he wants to just demolish her. He'll need it for Neji and Lee though.

Not now dear friend. I want to enjoy my summer break. 😛

Rasengans on the whole are simply as strong as one of Sakura's punches but with the downside of needing to be prepared. The Giant is the obvious exception but it can be dodged. Indeed, he is a good fighter, but really not much when compared to the people on this list really until he flies by them with Sage Mode. He would likely beat Sakura if only because of increased stamina and healing ability but there isn't much I can think of that would help him beat Neji except for Sage/Fox Mode.

That's my point- he has to gather the sage chakra and sage mode up during the prep. He can't wait until after Sakura to gather it, if it's not active during Sakura, it won't be during Neji and Lee.

His best chance is try and rush through opponents as quickly as possible to deal with as many as he can before it runs out.

Don't forget using rasengans for tricks and directing a fight. Kick up a smoke cloud with a normal one. Throw a Giant Rasengan down and he can force Sakura to jump into a group of clones and probably get taken out. Etc..

With clones, he can 'take hits' so to speak too, in the sense his clones can, but she can't.

~ If Ino were in the gauntlet and she survived until Chouji & Shikamaru arrived, Naruto would lose. I say that with a straight face.

I'll point out that he can create clones to gather Natural Energy, send far away from the arena, and then take their energy when he needs it. Also, he needs a lot less time to enter Sage Mode now.

There's always deception, Boss Toad Summons, and just flat out gangbanging them with clones.

Or send clones off to Toad Mountain to do what they do best so he can have Sage Mode for later.

Depends on how he uses it I suppose.

Sakura is not a stranger to his tricks though. Nor is she above using her own tricks.

True but then again there comes up the problem of hitting her. And the whole healing thing that she can do. Not to mention poison. 😛

Neither will turning into the Kyuubi help him against Sasuke, who would just b****-slap it back into its cage. vin

Honestly did not see Choji lol. But yes he stops there. And no matter what, he will not defeat Sasuke in this thread. Mostly because in one scenario I don't even think he'd make it to Sasuke.

Snipping me...>_>

Naruto never uses Toads.

Didn't Naruto enter sage mode and fox mode instantly when he was about to run against Iruka and his gang?

I don't think he can do that in 5 minutes.

Even with that, they can be hard to avoid. And he just keeps using them until one does.

Hm, yea, I forgot about her chem warfare... that'll be pretty good against clones and make Naruto have to be more cautious. One knick from her poison kunai and even if he beats her, his route of progress shortens fast.

Why not? 😮

Hard but not impossible. Sakura was trained to dodge attacks like Tsunades after all. Or body replacement for simplicity.

Indeed. Conversely, if Naruto could get a hold of said kunai and this thread becomes really easy up until Choji or arguably Lee.

Sakura isn't dodging shit of his. He'll be moving so fast he'll just be a blur to her.

In Sage Mode or Fox Mode, yeah.

Otherwise not really. He is only slightly faster than her.
