    So, who in YOUR opinion is stronger? Sasuke or Naruto?

    Right now, I'm not sure because...

    Spoiler:
    We really haven't seen much to justify either one is stronger than the other, however with Shippuuden, I have no idea, but it seems like there will be an all out battle to determine this differance in strength.



    So...your thoughts?

    Spoiler:
    Sasuke was certainly ahead at the start of the time skip, he was even able to seal the Nine Tailed Fox. But Naruto's come far since then so its pretty hard to say. He's finally at a point where he can fight well without relying on the Kyuubi, and he's able to take on Akatsuki members and win now.

    Right now Sasuke is the clear rival for Naruto, so I think they'll stay roughly even for the foreseeable future. Long term Naruto will likely come out ahead, it is his show. Right now I'd say its either even or a slight advantage in favor of Sasuke, although that could change big time once Naruto's fully mastered his new technique.

    It's Shonen...of course the most powerful character is going to be Naruto.

    Sasuke will be ahead of him all the way up until the end, at which point Naruto will gather all his fighting spirit/strength/deux ex machina ability and come back to beat Sasuke/save him from the darkness.

    Of course, maybe Kishi will throw us a curveball and have Chouji/Tenten/Konohamaru beat Sasuke or something...hey, a guy can hope, right?

    Beginning of series/manga to Chuunin Tournament-> Sasuke
    Chuunin Tournament to Sasuke chase -> Naruto
    Sasuke chase to present -> Sasuke

    Altho currently in the manga
    Spoiler:
    With Naruto's powerup there does need to be another match-up to see how they now stack


    I think Naruto edged ahead of Sasuke during the Chuunin Tournament and that Sasuke didn't go back ahead until after going into the barrell and getting the Orochimaru curse power-up activated fully.

    I agree.

    Through the first part of the series, Sasuke started out ahead, but the balance seemed to shift back and forth as Sasuke and Naruto's rivalry really got going until the Valley of the End, in which Sasuke was definitely on top.

    Spoiler:
    Currently, though, it's hard to say. I'd say Sasuke was stronger at the first reunion in part 2, but with that motivation spurring him, I think Naruto is now at least close to the new Sasuke. When he completes his new technique, it could be a completely different story. But on the other hand, we never did see to what extent Sasuke had improved over the time-skip since the reunion was interrupted.

    It's going to be interesting to see, anyway.

    Spoiler:
    Since Naruto's new technique seems pretty ridiculously overpowered right now, something will probably conveniently come up to prevent him from using it 99 percent of the time. So Sasuke still has the upper hand.

    Isn't the point of putting "(Spoilers)" in the thread title so that we don't have to use spoiler boxes? (-:

    So I was just going with the assumption to put spoilers for anything involving the manga beyond the anime storyline.

    Mine's not a spoiler, it's a fact, common sense.
