Remove your comments if you're going to continue to act like this. All I'm saying Naruto couldn't accomplish most his feats without the fox. The fox is not his power, he was not born or trained with it like those with clans/kekkai genkai. It was sealed in him, and if the village wasn't run by incompetent morons they'd have people training their living weapon to better be able to control it, not just for the purpose of accomplishing missions, but the safety of the village so every time he lost a comrade or saw someone get hurt there wasn't a chance of a freaking Kaijuu breaking loose and destroying everything around it for miles.

As for standing a chance against Orichimaru the man didn't go all in. He didn't use the giant white snake form or other techniques. Without the fox Naruto wouldn't have been any kind of threat to the man...woman...whatever Orichimaru is now. A normal base Naruto with no fox still has lots of chakra and could make a good number of clones. Enough for Kakashi to have shown him that training method earlier and tried to teach the kid some jutsu or something so he didn't rely on the same tricks throughout most the series.

All the teachers could have taught their students more. I'm still surprised Kurenai didn't teach Hinata genjutsu so she could just trap people in illusions while hiding since she could see through objects for miles around. There was a lot of wasted potential that looking back makes one wonder why the series went the way it did.
