Naruto trains his butt off despite not the brighter in the bunch his training methods should make much better than the outcome comes out to be. All the attention of prowess goes to Sasuke and that's one thing that irked me. First and foremost, let me state that I do acknowledge that Naruto has trained much more than Sasuke in order to receive his powers. However, Naruto has been given his fair amount of power-ups as well. Naruto is 100X more powerful currently than when he and Bee escaped Turtle Island and joined the War. He did not work hard to get those powers, nor did he train about how to use them. But at this point in the story, it's really not a big issue- the main characters getting power-ups at this point in entirely acceptable.

Also, just because we don't see Sasuke training doesn't mean he doesn't train. Had the series been called Sasuke, and had he been an even more important character than he already is, we would see his training process. However, since Naruto is the main/titular character, we see all of his training and Sasuke's is left unseen. Also, sometimes it seems as if Sasuke trains how to use his powers in the middle of a battle. Instead of practicing these skills on his own, he uses them in the middle of a battle, and then learns how to adapt to it over the course of the fight. One example is how he first used Amaterasu on Killer Bee, and then by the time he fought the Raikage, he could add shape manipulation to the technique. Also, this was very present when he used the Susanoo for the first time- it started out as a small ribcage, and then as he used it more prominently, it eventually evolved into the epic Perfect Susanoo that he can use now. I am insinuating. Sasuke goal was to kill Itachi but after he killed Orochimaru I don't believe he trained. Even after forming Hebi. He just went along with what he got as far as I'm concerned. Naruto got powerups so did Sasuke period so I'm done with that. I'm saying that I've noticed that Sasuke has been the one being greatly and specifically developed a lot more than Naruto and I find that messed up. I call it like I see it. Sasuke learning that he can manipulate the black flames was bs like I don't even know how he could've figured it out. This eye activate on instinct or something? Sasuke using susanoo "prominently", please he was pretty careless with it. And before you guys say I'm a hater trust and believe Sasuke is definitely a character I don't like and I have my reasons but at the same time I'm not gonna try be an ass about like saying he's a dumb emo or something. And I'm not a Naruto fanboy either. I'm neutral of him. I mean Naruto does things that irk me too but ultimately I have no problem with him.
