Well, herein lies the problem: what would Naruto even look like without kurama, but with a proper teacher? Would his techniques be even remotely similar to what he had, considering he developed them all because he was better at spamming power?

I do think Naruto sucked so hard in P1 because he wasn't taught properly. I knew a few kids like Naruto myself, people that never paid attention in school but nevertheless ended up fine, simply because confining them to a room and forcing them to read books was their version of hell.

Jiraiya definitely improved Naruto's basics, even though it took him 3 years to get the basics in. but imagine Naruto was like that or like his fight versus Pain, but from the start. Taught by his parents to not just jump in head first but at least scout the battlefield.
