Amount of victories, Sasuke and Naruto.

[meowNverse]

There was only one serious battle between Naruto and Sasuke, The Valley of the End fight, which Naruto in fact did lose.

You can't use Naruto deciding not to hit him directly as an excuse to say Naruto won, Naruto knew very well that just scratching his headband wouldn't cut it.

Naruto chose not to hit him, thus he lost due to his mistake.

Fair enough explanation.
Shikamaru vs Temari. You consider that a victory for Temari as well I assume?
I look at it in a different way. I would consider that one Shikamaru his victory, but I
understand what you mean with chosen not to hit, thus lost.

(he didn't have a Rasengan formed at that time.

Sasuke had a Chidori and was in cursed seal v2 mode and Naruto was in Kyuubi cloak with a rasengan.

An ambush turns into a win when the ambushing unit takes the enemy by surprise and defeats them...

OT: I'd give Sasuke Valley of the End as it started off as a fight and Sasuke was last standing.

So 3 to 2 advantage Sasuke

two other possible fights come to mind
Naruto won emotionally during the forest of death when Sasuke was immobilized by fear, and a tie at the bridge when Naruto said is they fight they die.

None of those two count as a victory for Naruto. Come on, son.

Sounds more like you're making up excuses.

Not an excuse. Naruto says he would bring Sasuke back no matter what but then forgets he has a contract with one of the most powerful-est summoning boss in NV? I call Plot.

Sasuke lost the Chidori and Naruto lost the Rasengan when they collided and formed that purple sphere.

Plot obviously.Naruto stated he would go all out but didn't even summon the toad boss? Plot no jutsu to the max

he was controlled by nine tails 3/4 of the fight

he was controlled by nine tails 3/4 of the fight

actually , Naruto can only bee controlled when he is in a state over 3 tails

he was in a 1 tail state .

it makes him much more angry , if anything

Naruto wasn't focused until the actual fight. By then, it was too late to summon Bunta because Sasuke was always on him.

indeed the fanboys are acoming.

I warned the maker of this thread already.

Its very similar to the Naruto vs Sasuke fight, but not quite.

Shikamaru was about to win, but he quit, making him lose.

Naruto could have hit Sasuke, but even if he did, as rikerslade already mentioned, it would probably be a tie as Naruto was knocked out by Sasuke's hit.

As you can see they went at each other simultaneously, and no one's blast would have affected the destination of each other's attacks.

If Naruto had opted to hit Sasuke in the gut, he would probably have been knocked out, just like Naruto was when Sasuke hit him in the gut, rendering it a tie.

So basically it could have been be a tie, but Naruto couldn't have won.

Sasuke lost the Chidori and Naruto lost the Rasengan when they collided and formed that purple sphere.

True (I just looked it up as well and noticed their attacks fading ).
I thought you meant before their clash.
Both had Curse seal mode and Kyuubi cloak mode to still whack out a good punch though.

indeed the fanboys are acoming.

Well my opening plea to keep it civil apparently worked, cause the thread remains civil.

Naruto didn't have summoning jutsu mastered, he couldn't summon bunta against Orochimaru.
