it was more than a holding them off. If you watch the episodes or the manga again you will see that he actually played with them it was nothing more to him (he deflected everyone with chidori nagashi "played" with kurama stabbed Yamato ................... well Sasuke didn't use the curse mark in the battle with team Yamato and he actually wanted to use Kirin and the only one who could survive that would be NAruto because of Kurama and you can compare the curse mark more to the KCM or Bijuu Mode (where Naruto has full control or works together with Kurama) back then only Kurama could take over Naruto and so on

sasukes Curse mark was never anything near Naruto's Kyuubi cloak. that is absurd. if that was the case then sasuke Curse mode would have easily killed itachi. the curse mark was only a pseudo sage mode. it did not even give reflex increase. if sasuke with Curse mode were to fight naruto KCM mode naruto would rip him limb from limb

I think you got my comparison wrong I didn't mean the curse mark to be as strong as KCM OR BIJUU MODE I just said that you could compare it more with the KCM or Bijuu Mode than with a Kurama who is taking over Naturo and who releases himself

Some other user ( I don't want to look after the comment) mentioned that naruto would defeat Sasuke back then (when they first met each other after 2,5 years) when he used Kurama then I meant back then Naruto could only win with Kurama but back then he didn't have the control over him so Kuruama would manifest the tails and control naruto but this wouldn't be Naruto who is fighting Sasuke

So I compared the Curse mark more to KCM and Bijuu Mode because Sasuke has full control of the Curse mark (and it alos gives him a power boost .......)
