Yeah, I guess. I remember in part 1 Lee said that you couldn't move that fast without sharingan because your perceptions literally couldn't keep up. But I guess thats been thrown out now with all the speedsters.
Without at least Sage mode, I don't think Naruto can throw rasenshuriken, which is a minus.

Speedwise, he's a respectable 3.5 (to Sasuke's 4.5), assuming he hasn't improving from all of his training, which I suspect he would've.

They were talking about a strait-line rush attack, and the 'can't they were referring to was more 'you can, but if anyone counterattacks you can't do anything about it and you'll be ganked'.
And people like A, KCM Naruto, etc. ... A's got increased thought speed, and Naruto's a sensor.

He needs to encase it in Sage/Kyuubi chakra to throw it, neither of which he'd have in base mode.
~ I'd give Sasuke better odds in the first one, but it he'd have a fight on his hands.
Naruto stomps his shit in the second one.
