He wasn't way better off thean Neji, that's the point, Neji almost won. The whole point is that Kurama's chakra did not overpower him to the point of throwing Neji around like a doll, like how Boruto ends up doing to one of the strongest characters in that series.

Naruto literally was going to die against Kabuto and Kurama literally wasn't able to save him, Tsunade only barely save Naruto's life there.

If Naruto could have pulled Kurama's chakra out whenever he wanted, Part 1 of Naruto is entirely a different story.

You're comparing my issue with one situation to another situation I took issue with for a different reason. Naruto vs Neji was an example of the fact that Naruto using Kurama's chakra did not make him ridiculously stronger than his opponents, like in Boruto's case (considering Boruto now has more power than most of the Kage and Naruto couldn't even use 1 Tail at that point). Then you're applying my separate issue of Boruto losing tension because he doesn't really have to worry about losing his life in a fight anymore. Like, ever. And the reason this is incomparable with Naruto's fight with Neji is because it was only that one fight that Naruto was protected from dying. Naruto had to worry about his life plenty of other times.

I mean that's totally fine, if you don't see the need for life-or-death situations in the manga, that's your opinion. But other people don't share that opinion lmao. Fighting for one's life creates tension, which is good for a story. If you're one to just say "Oh he's the main character, he won't die" then that's totally fine but again, that's your opinion and not everyone shares it.

I mean you can state it if you want but I wasn't arguing that lol
