So I was just looking back through the Naruto Databook 3 and the Skill Index (Not the Point System Index) has Naruto as stronger than Sakura and Sasuke physically and It has Naruto above Sasuke in Taijutsu Skill.
Now, at first glance, you'd think it's BS for obvious reason, but that isn't the case actually. I believe the stats in the databook should be considered seriously.
The stats in the databook don't take into account amplifications. This proven by Naruto being physically stronger than Sakura, the reason why we disregard this is because we forget,
Sakura's Super Strength is a product of Chakra control. It isn't her Natural Strength but rather it's a jutsu.
So as shown in the Manga, Sakura is Physically stronger, but via Jutsu, not Naturally. And this proves that the stats in the DB are more legit than previously thought.
Now, I know some of you will be like, Sasuke is better at h2h. Well, that was only true for Part 1 Sasuke. Even the DB says stats can change over time with training. And there really is nothing against this notion of Naruto having better Taijutsu than Sasuke
DB 3 covers Chapter 245 - 402, so this is Basically Pre-SM Training Naruto. Naruto has no real fights in Part two. Infact, he only encountered:
- Orochimaru (Engaged in 1-4 tail)
And he never really got the chance to actually fight them. The first time we really see Naruto's h2h skill is against pain, but again, this is after SM training, so nothing exists to say Naruto isn't better at h2h.
