Naruto, on the other hand, has his abilities showcased when he was younger, so of course he isn't going to be as powerful when we compare the two considering the different in age and experience. He does easily match Hashi's abilities in Gaiden though. Dude, when Hashi was Part 1 Naruto's age, he was killing ADULT Uchihas. Naruto, on the other hand, couldn't beat someone like Kiba without farting at Kiba's nose. Sure, Naruto eventually beat Shukaku/Gaara, but that was with the help of Kurama. Without Kurama, Naruto is nothing. Hashi on the other hand is the real OG.

I can't help but feel that Kishi hates Naruto as a character for some reason. We know both from the story and from some interviews that Kishi has a huge boner for the Uchiha, especially Sasgay. I wouldn't be surprised if Kishi forces his wife to dress as Sasuke or Itachi during sex. Must be a great turn-on for him. And so he must hate Naruto, because deep down he knows that he made a mistake by not making the protagonist an Uchiha.
