@Jimmy, no, facts are not secondary to your imagination. Not at all.

Sasuke has half of Hagoromo's power plus his own. Naruto has half of Hagoromo's power plus his own. Since they both have equal parts of Hagoromo's power, then it's obvious that Naruto wins in how much chakra he has because he had 4 times more than Sasuke to begin with, and that's excluding Kurama. And why would you think Naruto is in a vulnerable state? He has his literal Avatar and cloak on and is battling against the only one in the world who could actually kill him. His guard is up for this whole battle.

You're not really using facts properly though. Essentially you're twisting your facts to suit your theory instead of twisting your theory to suit the facts.

Considering that one feat of Amaterasu burning fast contradicts every other feat from the series and it's an anime-only filler, I'm gonna stick with every other account of it burning literally slow enough to just take your armor off.

Amaterasu burned through Sasuke's fireball slow enough for him to still be able to react to it, how is that not slow to you?

Then Sasuke, who is not one of the speedsters of the series, is able to run from Itachi's Amaterasu for a short while. And when it did finally actually hit him, it still burned slow enough for Sasuke to substitute out of his own skin.

Sasuke even mentioned that he planned to use his substitution once Itachi pulled Amaterasu, so it can be argued that Sasuke let Itachi hit him in order to spread Amaterasu so he could take advantage of its heat for storm clouds.

"And clearly you're mistaken about it being a slow burner."

One anime-only filler battle does not counteract the rest of the feats from the actual manga drawn by the author.

"And clearly if sasuke used the technique I gave him it would work."

Nope. Already explained why.

Also again, half of Hagoromo's chakra is nice, but Sasuke and Naruto both received the same level of power from Hagoromo. So Naruto still has more chakra than Sasuke because he started with more.

"And clearly he can put the kind of force I implied behind it."

And how did you come to this conclusion? Because he's never used that kind of force before, and like I explained it's not even efficient to try to put that much force behind it. The most impact Amaterasu had in terms of force was when Naruto combined his Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken at it, and it still only did minor damage to the Ten Tails. Last I checked, Naruto isn't lending his technique to Sasuke again only for it to be used on himself.

I'm not diminishing it or devaluing it. I'm showing you why the manga contradicts your imagination.
