vs Neji as was described already, vs Toneri(he suddenly forgot he had chakra absorption abilities), vs Madara(plot demanded Naruto be saved by Obito of all people), vs Obito(Naruto had to rely on Kurama.. without Kurama he had ZERO chance)... he NEEDED Kurama to face them and live. Plot saved Naruto vs Kakuzu and it saved him vs Pain too. There are clear examples.
