Judging by Naruto's rapid advancement in a few years from Genin-level to Kage-level, I reckon he's pretty darn talented.

Mastering Sage Mode, Rasengan, gaining control over Kurama, mastering it's form almost instantly, developing Rasenshuriken and the like only in a few years. That requires tremendous amount of talent, not just hard work.

But seriously, I wish the protagonist of Naruto's sequel was a completely new character, with nothing to do with the previous cast, who sets off on his/her own adventures in the world that was shaped by the events previous. That would have so much better. It doesn't even need Naruto in the name. Alas, the pull of the the $$ was too much.
