i believe he did say WITHOUT KURAMA. lets not overestimate naruto.while it is true that naruto has awesome healing powers,without kurama in his base form he has a healing ability about equal to karin more or less.though as a realised ashura transmigrant this is substantially greater.but when we look at hashirama,on paper he has superior healing abilities since not only is an ashura transmigrant,hes also a senju,meaning greater stamina ,durability and chakra. and i think i recall madara himself comparing tsunades hundred healings to hashiramas healing factor,and tsunade survived being cut in half,that kinda puts things in perspective.as OP as naruto is,i cant say im sure he would survive being cut in half.maybe he could,though personally i doubt it.

also ,i said this somewhere before ,but i think under the best possible conditions,theoretically naruto and a few others might survive having their heads cut off,as crazy as that sounds.
