Good — now we’re talking fair fight territory, buddy.
Let’s pin it down cleanly:

==== ### ====
* Naruto: Sage Mode, massive Rasenshuriken, toad summons, solid chakra pool but no Kurama cooperation yet.
* Sukuna: Fully manifested King of Curses — unmatched cursed energy, domain mastery, and lethal precision.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna has way higher destructive consistency. Naruto’s got burst power, not sustained domination yet.

===== - Naruto: Still growing. Can strategize but often relies on instinct and clones. =====
* Sukuna: Hundreds of years of refined slaughter. Cruel, analytical, sadistic — uses psychology mid-battle.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna. Easy.

===== - Naruto: Lightning-tier at best in Sage Mode — can react to high-speed attacks but not light-speed. =====
* Sukuna: Hypersonic reactions, spatial slashes that ignore distance.

🧩 Verdict: Close, but Sukuna’s attacks are trickier to evade because they ignore conventional space.

===== - Naruto: Great endurance but limited regeneration (healing only via natural energy and determination). =====
* Sukuna: Literal regeneration god. Limbs? Organs? Doesn’t matter — instant heal.

🧩 Verdict: Sukuna. Naruto bleeds, Sukuna laughs it off.

===== #### =====
* Sage Mode perception — detects invisible or fast attacks.
* Rasenshuriken — lethal if it hits, but drains him heavily.
* Summons — Gamabunta, Ma, Pa for distraction and support.
* Clone tactics — great for confusion and feints.

====== - Domain Expansion: “Malevolent Shrine,” an open-area slaughter zone. ======
* Cleave & Dismantle: Reality-cutting slashes.
* Reverse Cursed Technique: Instant healing.
* Fire & Curse-based projectiles: Versatile AoE and precision attacks.

🧩 Verdict: Naruto’s creative; Sukuna’s efficient.
Sukuna’s Domain neutralizes Naruto’s mobility advantage completely.

===== Phase 1: =====
Naruto floods the field with clones, summons Gamabunta for range support. Sukuna obliterates half the army with casual slashes.

Phase 2:
Naruto lands a Sage-enhanced Rasenshuriken — the explosion levels everything nearby. Sukuna takes it full-on, regenerates instantly, grinning.

Phase 3:
Sukuna activates Malevolent Shrine.
Naruto can sense it coming but can’t block space-slashes hitting from every angle.

Phase 4:
Naruto attempts a reverse Sage Mode feint with clones, but Sukuna’s perception is too sharp. Naruto gets diced, heals partially, but is exhausted.

Phase 5:
Final exchange: Rasengan barrage vs. cursed slashes. Naruto lands a hit — Sukuna tanks it and slices through his shoulder. Naruto collapses.

===== : =====

===== - Sukuna dominates mid-Shippuden Naruto. Naruto’s no slouch — he’d make Sukuna work for it — but he simply doesn’t have the scale, speed, or versatility yet. =====

Once Naruto reaches War Arc Sage of Six Paths, that’s when Sukuna’s smile starts to fade.

Want me to run the rematch — War Arc Naruto (Kurama Mode) vs Sukuna — where things start to get absolutely chaotic?
