Bato, someone already explained most of that part, but thanks anyways. I was looking back in the chapters at the Naruto versus Orochimaru, Sasuke versus Itachi, and Jiraya's talk with the frog seal. When I say control, I should have corrected that and said it in a more clear way, by saying he is aware. I didn't mean he could control his body as the other beasts could. I just meant he was aware of what was going on.
And yea I remember that lighting move now. It was that thing where the sky was cloudy(after that building was destroyed in their fight).
To tell the truth, that move can be rendered useless. Since it is coming from the sky and doesn't seem to have that much of a range. (I am just guessing since from what I could tell, they were still in a closed area) And since it is electricity, all you need is metal to redirect the attack.
And Naruto's clones have the same visual concept as the original just like any other clone. Naruto tries not to rely on them now, as we see he is practicing on things other than ninjitsu.
And unlike Sasuke, Naruto has jutsu traits that help strengthen him and keep him battle ready. Sasuke can still only use Chidori twice(since I haven't seen him use it more than that, meaning any form of chidori as well). And after those two, he gets tired, which is not good. Amatasu is a move that CAN be avoided as it only destroys what is in the user's vision. And even still it didn't kill Karin and in my belief, she is weaker than Naruto, so the moments it hit her, before Sasuke weaken the ninjitsu with his right eye, it should have at least killed her.
And if you like to use technicalities, then lets talk about Karin helping people in the fight? He used her to heal himself and each time he was left wounded all over again. Kirabi didn't loss any fight. He grew bored of the match and went away. But as he saw how persistant they were, he sacrifice a part of his beast to get away. If Kirabi wanted to, he could have killed them all. Jugo was defeated to the point of his curse seal doing nothing. Suigetsu was defeated in one single blow by the 8 tailed beast. And Karin couldn't even move when Kirabi attacked her. It took a mortally wounded Sasuke to cut a piece of Kirabi to barely save her.
Unlike Naruto, Sasuke, as everyone says, is so powerful and stronger than Naruto. Yet Sasuke loss against Gaara's one tail raccoon, even after two chidoris and an attempt at a third one. Lets not forget the curse seal which gave him an extra boost.
Also, even though people claim that Sasuke's team hawk is so superior, why did they loss so easily? They didn't do ANY damage to Kirabi. He was unfazed even when they all went at him. He even said he used the battle as a ruse to get away from his village. He was tired of the village and wanted a break.
And as Kirabi stated, no genjtsu can work on a person who can control their beast. Which is probably what is going to happen with Naruto soon. He will probably have to fight his beast or do some sort of test to ultimately control it. Which gives him complete control of unlimited chakra.
Sasuke, on the other hand will have nothing. He will become blind, since he didn't take Itachi's eyes, most likely they were useless and couldn't be used no matter what he did. Two chidoris, brings him super low on chakra. Kirin, brings him completely low on chakra, Amataterusu(sp?) brings him completely low on chakra.
If Sasuke wants to get stronger, he must find a way to gain more chakra, which is impossible for him.
And if what you say is true, than Naruto is still better than Sasuke without the help of the Nine tails in any shape or form. Fukasaku states that Naruto is learning at a faster pace than Jiraya, a man who took on Pain the longest. And unlike Sasuke, Naruto can still fight will going hermit mode, a mode that brings him even more power. He is also perfecting a secret jitsu. He is becoming wiser, learning how to be calm, and many other things people have told him he shouldn't do. It seems Naruto is a changed man.
And like I said, Naruto can already remain chakra use in battle for a long time, even without the nine tails. Sasuke fights for like 20 minutes and after that he is through. He also uses a move that brings him past his limits which will be his downfall soon.
So basically, for now, Sasuke only uses taijitsu(well not really since he uses his sword more, which wouldn't be hand to hand combat or physical combat), chidori and chidori base attacks, MS, and Amatatsu. All moves, except the sword, unless he uses chidori sword, that brings his chakra down to nothing.
Naruto can use Rasengan as much as he needs to(but lets just make a limit at 4 times), he has a new secret jitsu, Itachi's power(lets remember how Sasuke barely won and all Itachi gave Sasuke was the Amatatsu), Hermit mode, Sage mode, Senjitsu in general, Rasengan, Spiraling Shuriken Rasengan, jutsus with Gamabunta, Great Ball Rasengan, Uzumaki taijutsu moves, Wind Rasengan.
Sure Sasuke has the almighty Kirin move, but to use it, you need to take the lighting from the clouds. And in all the time it takes to prepare such a move, it will show that Sasuke could never have enough time. All of Sasuke's moves are powerful, but they take an excess amount of time and chakra to pull them off, even Kirin, even if the move itself doesn't need chakra, since it is external, instead of elemental. To be lucky enough and have less time in preforming it, Sasuke would need to be on a mountain, have it already raining, or be lucky enough to hold Naruto down by some freak accident. But as we seen before, Jugo, Karin, and Suigetsu are weak minded fools. Karin doesn't even have anything to protect herself. All she has is her stupid healing people through them biting her.
And thanks to Itachi, Sasuke loss his ability to summon snakes and use snake techniques.
Now I don't hate Sasuke. I mean I think he is a emo punk, but he is still needed in the show. But he isn't that powerful. Just because he beat Deidara, Itachi(barely, since he took a chance and gambled with his life), and Orochimaru(but he isn't truly dead), doesn't make him strong. I mean is Shikamaru super strong, because he beat Hidan. And Hidan is stronger than Deidara, sad but true.
Also, one last thing. Unlike, Naruto, Sasuke was trying and aiming to kill Gaara. Naruto isn't blind sighted and wanted to help Gaara, not kill him.
Tell me this, would you rather have more fighting, or to live in peace? If you choose the first one, then you live in Sasuke's world, if you choose the second one, you live in Naruto's world.
