If you think about it, Naruto's clones actually give him all of the experience they've learnt to him when they go away. So since he's using his clones to fight hand to hand mostly, he's exponential training in taijutsu every fight with all of his clones added experiences.

[@Zenoforce]

Yeah I was thinking that to, narutos taijustsu is exactly were I thought it was, even that he didnt know he was getting experience before the exploiting the shadow clone method of training, subconsciously he most likely picked up from using them in combat to improve his taijustsu he just didn't realize it

[@JustSome1chillin]

Not only that Sasuke points out that Naruto’s shadow clone is where he is the most pain the in the ass for anybody. Which made me think that Naruto is so proffiecent with Shadow Clone’s and taijutsu that it is not common. Almost anyone can use physical clone jutsu but nobody is good at fighting with taijutsu with multiple themself.

[@infinite_abundance222]

I was just thinking if someone was going to comment on this

[@magnusm4]

Seems like he never learns anything from them. 99% of his clone fights is them just running into an enemy and getting destroyed without even doing anything, literally. They just run. Doesn't even dodge or even throw a punch at times.

Maybe, but for Kuramas send-off, I kinda expected something more god-like/showy than a glorified fist fight. He didn't even warp space like Guy did against Madara. I have no problem with the fist fight itself, but it took Kuramas life to reach that power, and he *only* threw hands.

[@sasukeuchiha4504]

[@Naruku2121]

I like how Naruto's Taijutsu progression acually improved gradually yet some what subtly. Early on it and for most of his fights he relied on outpowering, or a heavily reliance on clones to out number or bait out openings to attack, to straight up throwing hands with actual finesse.

[@maellesaliou5871]

Yeah its great that we can clearly see the significant progression and evolution in Naruto's hand to hand combat between he first part of the manga and Boruto in both the anime and the manga 😃 For example at first I thought that Naruto didn't learn much under Jiraya's teaching but he actually was a lot LOT better at taijutsu after that 2.5 years training, and after his training on mont Myuboku Naruto was totally on another Level 😅

One of the things I don't see discussed enough about Naruto is just how suited he is for close quarters combat, like it is where most of his "stat"points are. He is a hell of a tank with or without the Kurama, dude has taken some insane blows and kept fighting, I would honestly say he is one of the best human tanks in the series if not the best human tank by the end of the series. As mentioned here he also has amazing taijutsu skills. He is also just a hell of a brawler. He also has insane buffing skills and his leadership skills are top notch. Bro is basically a Paladin in everything but name.

[@sheyarjames4904]

You are not wrong but the way it's executed in the series is quite poor and cliched, especially in part one, where his endurance doesn't stem from insane physical attributes and training but more of a "I can't give up, that's my ninja way" kind of speeches...

For those who aren't martial arts practitioners themselves, or do not know what Wing Chun is I'll help explain: Wing Chun is a style of Chinese Kung-Fu, shown extremely well in the movie series Ip Man (HIGHLY recommend). Wing Chun is also called Sticky Hands, cause you're basically so close to your opponent, you try and almost picture them as a box in front of you, and you use your different limbs to counter their attacks before they can connect with you, and then counter attack yourself. It's honestly fucking AWESOME for Six to point this out, cause I didn't realize it exactly till he said that, but he's 100% right.

[@carlorielmendez6505]

Boruto movie version of the Momoshiki fight is directed by Hiroyuki Yamashita which shows naruto using a grown up power-based moveset we know him for. Episode 65 of the Boruto anime on the other hand, was directed by Chengxi Huang wherein Naruto uses a wing chun style of fighting. In any case, both were portraying Naruto bitch slapping an Otsutsuki with either style.

[@FactFinderGeneral]

To add, it's an extremely flash style that looks awesome but if you look at what actual combatants have to say... Wing Chun is probably the most dunked on and poor performing style out there. A single shot from a boxer can kill a person, wing chun is basically baby slaps in comparison.

[@DameionDismuke]

I dont remember where I read this but it was said that Naruto trained more with the hyuga clan which also grew this taijutsu capabilities when he got with Hinata and her clan. I recognized wing chun off naruto because it's another fighting style close to Bagua which is used in "gentle fist" and also Bagua was used as a basis for Airbending in Avatar the last airbender. It's interesting to see the boxing stance on Naruto, because it strikes the question, "where could he have learned that?" I feel it was sort of a contemporary add in to show how Naruto kept up with his taijutsu training of all sorts.

[@bluhmer1990]

Naruto stopped using Shadow Clone spam as his main fighting style after training on Mt. Myaboku. I think that was intentional by Kishimoto to show Naruto really was different after that.

[@Blackoutdmc]

I love that he eventually got smarter about how he used his clones moving forward. Instead of mindlessly surrounding opponents so his clones can get bodied. He uses them to quickly close gaps, create pincers, store senjutsu, and support his allies in actual meaningful ways.

[@maagic2031]

There's a pretty gradual escalation of this through the manga with him creating feints vs neji, performing simultaneous attacks to break through the stronger defenses of characters like Gaara and Kiba and then using clone constructs to extend his range vs Sasuke. Then in the start of part 2 he's using them for stuff like dodging attacks while mid air or extending his range to parry Chiyo's attack on Kakashi. And after Kakashi teaches him about the memory storage of clones all hell kinda breaks loose lol. It's literally one move but he gets better at it with every single arc.

[@Jazzmaster1992]

In the second Naruto v Sasuke fight at the end of Shippuden, he just casually whips out a rasengan with one hand. It's the first time I saw it, although others mentioned he accomplished this earlier. Regardless, it was a really cool nod to just how far he's come, in my eyes. No large dialogue or backstory accompanied the feat; in fact, no character mentions it at all. His signature move which he trained several weeks/months to learn, and had to accomplish by creating a clone originally, he perfected enough to be able to do single handedly without thinking about it at all.

[@TehStylishone]

We he learned Sage style, that was when I like Naruto again. Kurama mode almost over shadows it. I wish we got more time with just Sage mode.

His talents in hand-to-hand combat are greater than most people realize. The first time he was taught hand-to-hand combat in school. He was taught wrong specifically to handicap him. Later, no one actually teaches him technique. All they do is spar with him. This includes the sage frog. He is self-taught entirely. Every bit of technique he learned through observation. He spars with somebody or he sees somebody use a technique then later when no one else is around. He spams, clones and practices what he observed until he eventually gets it right or creates his own version. Not only is he entirely self-taught. He had to unlearn everything wrong. That was originally taught to him.

Naruto was always known to be naturally physically strong, known for abundant stamina, and to be very durable This natural proficiency for prolonged hand to hand combat and his shadow clones made him adopt a strategy where he simply overwhelmed and out endured his enemies when they got into physical combat. This made for a very hard hitting, but simplistic brawling fighting style that mixed some skilled move sets with more simple fighting techniques. As he got older and started learning techniques that allowed him to better control his chakra like the nine tails control and sage mode he stopped relying on using sheer numbers and his own endurance for onslaught and started using very strategic fighting methods done in very fast aggressive manners to accomplish the same goal of overwhelming the target.

[@uchihasaucekey]

I know it's kinda out of context, but you're so good at English! I've learnt quite a few words just by reading this :)

[@akabutterz9574]

Bro, Naruto improved drastically during the time skip. Everyone is sleeping on the proof and the improvement he made, it's so annoying lol. Yes out of the 3 he improved the least. Sasuke got the biggest power up, Sakura became a doctor and for the 1st time relevant in a fight. However Naruto increased alot as well. This was made clear with his tag team fight against Kakashi. Pre-time skip Kakashi could man handle all of team 7 without his sharigan. After the time skip Kakashi thought he could man handle Naruto again but then found a Kunai at his throat. Yes Kakashi used a shadow clone to escape but one could say he was forced to. Kakashi quickly realized he would need to use the sharigan to fight off naruto and Sakura. Jiraiya also warned Kakashi about taking naruto seriously and he knew kakashi's strength. Even if it's 2 on 1 its still very impressive to push non MS Kakashi to his limits. Mind you this was Base Naruto. Base Naruto honestly might have been able to take Kakashi in a fight without his sharigan at this point. That might be a little high balling but being in non sharigan Kakashi league is still very impressive. Naruto improved in 4 main areas. 1. Taijutsu 2. Base Speed 3. Chakra Control 4. Kurama Chakra Control Taijustsu and Speed were demonstrated with his fight against Kakashi that I already covered. Chakra control was shown when he launched the big ball rasengan which is no small feat. That's a lot of Chakra while taking shape transformation to the highest level. This also demonstrated his increased control over kurama's Chakra because he tapped into it hence the red eyes. During the time skip Jiraiya determined that Naruto could control the nine tails cloak up to 3 tails and at 4 he loses control. Naruto was able to use this mode of his own free will. Any time he got mad it started coming out but thats only because he knows how to use it. It wasn't just the seal weakening. Naruto was just scared to use it because of what happened to Jiraiya but he knew how to use it at will. That alone took a lot of his time skip and for the power boost it was well worth it. My point is don't sleep on how strong Naruto got from the time skip. From being dogged on by Kakashi to forcing him to use his sharigan, Base naruto mind you, is no small feat. Just in case I didn't have enough time to finish the video just yet, ill do that later today after work.,

[@kervinsvimcent5335]

Most people failed to realize that Naruto had a sannin master way before Sasuke and Sakura. They had their own sannin master at the end of part 1. So I guess it's no wonder why people think Naruto seemed "less improved" compared to those two since he already learned how to tap into kurama's chakra, learned the summoning jutusu, and the rasengan thanks to Jiraiya in part 1 while the others just got their improvements during the time skip. If Naruto didn't learned any of those things when he first met Jiraiya but instead during the time skip I think people's opinions about it would be different.

[@maellesaliou5871]

Great analysis 😃 I was unfortunatelly among those who didn't acknowledged Naruto's improvement after the time skip at first and thought that Jiraya did the bare minimum with him 😅 (even though I noticed how much stronger Naruto became at Taijutsu after his long training with him) so today I'm glad to be better at seeing the fruits of Naruto's training under Jiraya 🙃

[@Omeganuts24]

I can agree with the control to a certain degree. Sure, him using Kurama’s power more is a conscious choice at times and he appears in control for the most part, I think it’s a ticking time bomb with him losing control and the seal weakening with how angry he is, the length of his transformation and the amount of tails he uses. His anger is likely his only trigger for the power since Kurama was hateful at the time and only like to feed him power to fuel his rage or in desperation to save both their lives.

Naruto Ending 15 is where he really starts to take his taijutsu seriously in my opinion. At the very least, it highlights how proficient he is in it, and the training he puts into improving, even if it's not touched on much by the story itself.

I have a question. If Sasori somehow managed to turn Hashirama or Madara into his puppets, how strong would they be compared to their original counterparts? Will they be significantly weaker (like Orochimaru Edo Tensei in the Hiruzen fight) or just slightly weaker (like Kabuto's Edo Tensei)? And is it possible for Sasori to become one of the main villains in the 4th Shinobi War alongside Obito and Kabuto? Let's say Sasori survived and gathered the dead Akatsuki's corpses and turned them into his puppets. And how strong Sasori would be if he doesn't need his core and can just regenerate infinitely and endlessly like an Edo Tensei?

[@krukblood-axe3649]

I think Naruto shined most when it used both, tbh, especially when it showed finesse with hand signs like that of Haku, or Obito and Sasuke using Kakashi/Naruto's hands to finish off their own jutsu... think back to the Kakashi vs Obito fight, one of the best if not the best fights in the series. The hand to hand was incredible, but the trickery, fire style jutsu, mud wall, lightning clones... all of those things served to enhance the taijutsu portions of the fights without detracting from them. Also keeps things from getting stale, if every fight was just taijutsu, we'd very quickly lose appreciation for the choreography, and the animators/artists would have an increasingly hard time creating good choreography without constantly repeating themselves... though they've been doing that a lot in Boruto on purpose.

Pre-time skip, taijutsu specialists always tried to get close with Naruto to smother his ninjutsu, and he usually only got into with when he has shadow clones or kurama's chakra. But especially after he gets senjutsu, they can no longer really do that, which is insane considering they're usually the product storied clans with hundreds of generations of knowledge and he's just some orphan kid with no special formal training in it.

[@Seluecus1]

His clones are literally the reason why he's such a proficient front line fighter and can almost instantly utilize new tactics. It makes sense that his Taijutsu would get better over time when he uses his clones to help fight. Then absorbs their memories afterward. That's how he also became so proficient in Ninjutsu as well.

People are forgetting that just by unlocking the third tomoe in his sharingan , Sasuke was able to keep up with 1-tail Naruto that was considered a huge buff for him at the time . Now consider him mastering the sharingan , unlocking the mangekyo and the rinnengan on top of that and Naruto can still somehow keep up with him at base .

I actually in the anime fight of Naruto vs sasuke in shippuden Naruto was actually playing really good defense like mad solid. Naruto’s defense makes him a menace. Like if you rewatch that fight and analyze their hand to hand section it’s very clear Naruto isn’t getting thrown around but just more of Sasuke having a lot more essentially (map control) for when he’s pressing him so he can’t use the clones. And this is full base Naruto against sharingan at that point which is just amazing. Naruto playing on the defense definitely didn’t help him in making any true advancements on sasuke but it just really showed how much he is able to keep up in base alone. Which I also feel that if Naruto went full on just sage mode he would’ve just clapped sasuke on the spot with frog kata and the extra strength he gains he could’ve just threw sasuke and lowkey obliterated him but all in all it is nice seeing his taijutsu progress throughout shippuden.

One of my favorite headcannons of naruto is naruto being a direct rival of one of the best sharingan users in the series, and having to keep up with the skill and dexterity of Sasuke in many direct encounters gives him a significant edge in most other taijutsu encounters, especially when you mix it with Sage Mode. His taijutsu skill really shines in the Shippuden: Power Arc (filler arc) when he no-diffs the faux nine-tails and of course when he and Sasuke jump momoshiki.

[@krukblood-axe3649]

I mean, not really headcannon, it's just facts. Even in early Naruto, in his and Sasuke's rooftop fight, he was fighting a Sharingan user with enough speed to match weightless Lee, and was actually landing hits. He may not have that much finesse, but his raw reaction times can be ridiculous given the opponents he's fighting... which, to be fair, makes sense given that he's Minato's son, and Minato had high enough reaction times to teleport in front of Eighth Gate Guy charging at full speed, turn around, catch truth seeking orbs with his back, and immediately teleport back, all while Guy and the orbs were moving in slow motion compared to him, all in base form while a weakened Edo Tensei. At least some of those genetics are bound to have gone through to Naruto...

[@Raionhardt]

honestly he probably doesnt use frog kumite often because its just straight up lethal and naruto always tries to talk some sense into whoever he's fighting. another important thing to note is he's also the fastest shinobi in the ninja world by the end of the show, for him to be able to surpass his father's "speed" without using flying raijin puts him on par with someone releasing the 8 gates in terms of speed. its kind of another thing they basically forgot about/dropped for his future fights
