@ Daywalker

Just read Sumandark8600's summary.

Still actually taking natural energy is a power up, because it's actually not his chakra/energy it's the energy of the surrounding objects (plants,.... whatever even the air around them or free chakra^^) Naruto takes natural energy from nature, you are right that he can't ask it to give it to him.

without naruto taking so much nature energy he also wouldn't be able to create his combo attack, just like Sasuke couldn't use Indra's arrow but he could also have used an amaterasu enhanced Kirin (he can nearly enhance everything with amaterasu) ^^
