actually i cant remember a single time a chakra-cloak mode naruto was ever attacked without him knowing at leastthe rought direction of the attack, even "suprise" attacks like sasuke VOTE2 chidori attack was at least recognised by naruto,

i really cant remember a single time where he was truly caught off-guard at all, so the idea of naruto actually only being incredible durable if he is "concentrating" on the general direction of the attack does make sense, it would also explain why madara and naruto got actually pierced by a freaking sword, they had been both caught 100% off guard :o
