In my opinion, this section was actually one of the best animated ones of the entire series (in the way that I was sitting there thinking "wow, this is unprecedented"). To me, the way how the animators really nailed to portray their struggle to keep on fighting while being absolutely exhausted was amazing, and their movements looked totally realistic in general. But maybe it's just me thinking that? Did everyone else think that this looked unrealistic or just badly animated? Really curious to know. I concur with your post. The level of detail in the fight was exceptional. I liked the scene in which you can see a tooth having been knocked out: in every battle up to that point, that kind of detail was never shown (just the usual "blood out of mouth" after a punch lol). And like you said, they showed that Naruto and Sasuke would keep fighting until they physically died if they could and the animators made that very clear to the viewer.
