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. If we're being honest by the end naruto probably could've thrown neji around like a doll if the match didn't end, but regardless his victory was clearly beyond neji's power to stop. Even if neji wasn't thrown around like a doll for most of the fight it's a huge stretch to go from that to neji almost winning.

Kabuto's chakra scalpel stopped naruto from healing himself with the nine tails. If he used the nine-tails before that he could've healed and avoided further injury. If he used it afterwards he could've finished off kabuto quickly and then ran to tsunade so basically up until he defeated kabuto and was able to collapse knowing tsunade would be there to save him and kabuto wouldn't be able to stop her he would've been able to rely on a backup plan. Tsunade's aid was secured when he defeated kabuto. It wasn't something that almost didn't reach him or couldn't be counted on and that he simply lucked out. Squinty97 wrote: If Naruto could have pulled Kurama's chakra out whenever he wanted, Part 1 of Naruto is entirely a different story. Jiraiya taught him how to and removed the five elements seal. Prior to that he couldn't but prior to boruto becoming momoshiki's vessel he couldn't rely on momoshiki either. Squinty97 wrote: 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). Actually I stayed silent on this issue. Squinty97 wrote: 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. He was only protected from dying in one fight? Are we even talking about the same manga? Squinty97 wrote: 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. 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. yeah, I'm kind of aware it's a matter of preference. That's kind of why I said it. Squinty97 wrote: Fighting for one's life creates tension, which is good for a story. Yeah but fighting for the fate of your village and possibly the world is done more in boruto than in part 1 naruto and yet according to you tension is good so getting rid of risks that create it is bad so why is it you don't complain when naruto's fights and most other fights not involving naruto in part 1 of naruto usually have much less depending on them?
