people make Naruto seem weak without kurama and shit, but he didn't need kurama for literally every single jutsu he ever learned, besides for bijuu bomb. he would've gotten sm eventually, already knew summoming and rasengan even before he could actually tap into 10% of kurama's chakra, and even then (when he did need it), it was Naruto (both in body and mind.... mostly) fighting against whatever opponent. and as a matter of fact, he would've had kurama's chakra in him, even if kurama wasn't there for real.
