Who would win in a fanfic fight between Naruto and side - sleep Shikamaru?

I think Shikamaru would win. He's smart and strategic, which could give him the upper hand against Hidan's brute force.

I'd bet on Shikamaru. His intelligence and ability to plan ahead could help him figure out Hidan's weaknesses and exploit them to win the fight in the manga.

I think it could go either way. Temari has her powerful wind techniques, but Shikamaru is super smart and strategic.

Well, it's really hard to say. Naruto has his powerful jutsu like Rasengan and Sage Mode, which give him great strength and speed. Vegeta, on the other hand, is a Saiyan with super strength and the ability to go Super Saiyan. In a fanfic, it could go either way depending on how the author wants to write it. Maybe if Naruto could find a way to disrupt Vegeta's ki, he could win. But if Vegeta goes Super Saiyan 2 or higher quickly, he might overpower Naruto.

Superman would probably win. His powers are on a god - like level. He can fly at incredible speeds, has superhuman strength that can move planets, and has heat vision. Naruto is strong, but his powers are more in the realm of ninja techniques and chakra control. In a direct confrontation, Superman's invulnerability would make it difficult for Naruto to do any real damage.

It's really hard to say. Naruto has his powerful jutsu like Rasengan and his ability to use the Nine - Tails' chakra. Bakugo, on the other hand, has his explosive quirk. In a fanfic, it could go either way depending on how the author wants to write it. If the author gives Naruto an advantage in the setting, like being in a forest where he can use nature to his advantage, he might win. But if Bakugo has some new upgrades to his quirk in the fanfic, he could also come out on top.

Well, it's a tough call. Naruto's immense chakra reserves and combat wisdom give him an edge, but Kawaki's mysterious powers and potential could surprise us. The outcome would likely be very close and exciting to watch.

It's a tough call. Gaara has strong sand control abilities, but Naruto's growth and strategic thinking could tip the scales in his favor. It really depends on the circumstances and their state of mind during the fight.

One possible plot could be that Naruto and Shikamaru are on opposing sides in a strategic battle. Naruto might be brash and ready to go all - out, while Shikamaru is using his intelligence to outwit Naruto. Maybe it's a sparring match within the Hidden Leaf village where they have different goals. Naruto could be aiming to prove his strength, and Shikamaru is trying to show that brains can overpower brawn. They might start with some basic jutsu exchanges, and as the fight progresses, Naruto realizes he needs to use more than just his raw power to defeat Shikamaru.

In fanfiction, it could go either way. Naruto has his powerful jutsu like the Rasengan, but Kiba has his strong bond with Akamaru which gives them an edge in teamwork. If Naruto doesn't take their combined attacks seriously, Kiba and Akamaru might get the upper hand. However, Naruto's vast chakra reserves and ability to quickly learn new techniques could also mean he'd come out on top.
