Nonsensical Claims like Kabuto having a body that is more durable than naruto and again with this erroneous claim that naruto is dumb and talentless when clearly adult Hokage Naruto is highly knowledgeable and level minded despite is very unfair start in life. People are retroactively trying to apply all sorts of labels to Naruto that simply don't fit. Naruto has been taught to play to his strengths, which has made him a considerably more capable ninja. It hasn't magically made all his weaknesses and lack of talent go away.

In the Academy, Naruto was the worst student, literally.

Secondly, in some ways Kabuto does have a superior body. I don't see Naruto with Shikotsumyaku for instance.
