"this wasnt really a suprise attack :) gaiden showed that a simply sword could have been the end if shin had aimed for narutos neck ^_^"

Kishi majorly nerfed Naruto and Sasuke in Gaiden. If Naruto didn't get hurt by Toneri's jutsu that cut the moon in half then there is no way a sword should be able to hurt him. Doesn't make any sense.
