Which is one of the main reasons I don't like the Naruto character...he solves every problem by using the fox chakra or his large chakra reserve. Like making 100 clones...or needing to learn a hard tech...or needing to beat up Gaara, add more chakra...everything is solved with chakra...
If the word 'chakra' was replaced with 'money', Naruto would be basically fighting all his problems in life by throwing 'money' at them.
Which is why I want Rock Lee to be the main character...or at least Shikamaru...but that's just me...
Actually they all use chakra, its the power behind their Shinobi skills. So that is an issue. As for his kyuubi chakra, he has only used that in maybe 6 occasions (not episodes) out of the many many battles he has had. He used it most in his last battle against Sasuke. Naruto solves most of his issues with his big heart. He ends up inspiring people he meets and helping them defeat their foes. Abit cheesy, but its nice. His Rassengan move was just used in the fillers alot, just for kicks....even Naruto joked about that move being used too much.
Be careful not to compare him to Goku blindly just cos' he is the main character. Goku is an alien with immense power that develops in a different way. Naruto characters are abit more down to earth.
Naruto has improved in shippuden, evident just from that little sparring match. More of his skill will show in the rest of the series. His personality is still the same, but he didnt waste 2 years worth of training with Jirai.
Just note, he IS the lead character and he WILL always win, even if it takes many episodes to get there. Its just how things are with most tv shows.
