Who Are Naruto And Sasuke?
Naruto Uzumaki is the jinchuriki of the nine-tailed beast Kurama and the protagonist of ‘Naruto’. He is the son of the fourth Hokage and was looked at with disdain by the villagers for being a jinchuriki Naruto always dreamed of becoming a Hokage and he managed to fulfill that particular dream. He is the reincarnation of Ashura, the son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
Sasuke Uchiha is the only surviving pure Uchiha. He is the holder of the rinnegan and was termed the Shadow Hokage by Naruto for his efforts to protect Konoha. Sasuke left the village and took the wrong path and was brought back by Naruto himself. He wanted revenge against Itachi for murdering his entire clan. Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, the other son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
Who Would Win In A Fight?
That is a very interesting question and one that causes a lot of debate amongst Naruto fans. Naruto and Sasuke have fought multiple times and both have won a few times. Both Naruto and Sasuke have great respect and envy for each other’s powers and deem the other to be stronger.
Even though Sasuke Uchiha was a natural prodigy, he was always scared of Naruto Uzumaki’s seemingly endless potential. Naruto on the other hand was always envious of Sasuke and the ease with which he learned new things.
In a fight, however, Naruto would win. Naruto won the final battle at the end of ‘Naruto Shippuden’ and Sasuke begrudgingly accepted that Naruto was stronger than him. Naruto has extremely high chakra reserves and is a tailed beast. In addition to that, he also has his sage jutsu.
Sasuke on the other hand has his Rinnegan and Sharingan. By extension of both of these abilities, he possesses Susanoo and Amaterasu. Naruto already defeated these abilities when he fought Sasuke in ‘Naruto Shippuden’. Whilst both Shinobi have grown a lot since then, Naruto remains stronger. Therefore, between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto is more powerful.
