This is quite inaccurate. Taking in sage chakra is rediculously hard. It's not simply generating clones. His three clones weren't storing sage chakra but constantly molding sage chakra. Thus he had 3 clones doing what even Jaraiya couldn't do perfectly. The fact that naruto could fight against pain, and keep his 3 clones molding sage chakra was quite an impressive feat.
I guess you wouldn't be. After defeating 5 ninja's that destroyed the entire village, why be impressed since he initially lost to the last and strongest one? And this is pain's power, what if he loses chakra and takes damage from his own jutsu. I had this discussion before, and it's like this. Each ninja has tools affording them power. For sasuke he has sharingan, for pain he has rinnegan and naruto has kyuubi. Weather or not pops showed up, pain no. 6 would have been dead! It just so happen that pops showed up and resealed kyuubi after which naruto proceed to kick pain no 6's ass. So yah he did defeat pain.
Okay here memory does not serve you right. Choji was never the strongest Taijutsu fighter.
You miss the point of being a ninja. Kakashi was not born with sharingan, yet that is his main source of power. A ninja uses to tools afforded to him to give him the edge in battle. These toads are naruto's. Thus they count as his strength.
I am just stating that possibility is as far fetched as tobi being obito.
He's a genius. We know that. But its what the writer's said/did so who am i to argue with them. We may not agree but it is what it is. Can I ask you who your favorite character is?
