===== Starting Conditions =====
* Starting distance: mid-range — around 100–200 meters apart. - That’s far enough that Naruto has options (clones, rasengans, mode shifting). - Close enough that Luffy can close the distance quickly if he goes all-in.
* Initial states: - Naruto starts in Six Paths Sage Mode, but not Baryon Mode (he can choose to escalate later, but with risk). - Luffy can enter Gear 5 after a short exchange, not instant, but he will go there early because he knows this is a serious opponent. - No prep for either beyond “they know they’re fighting a monster.”
* Limitations: - Naruto can teleport/dimension shift or reverse-summon away, but doing that costs him the initiative and some chakra, and Luffy’s not going to stand there doing nothing if Naruto vanishes. - Luffy cannot fly, cannot go to space, cannot negate Naruto’s freedom of movement except by physically pressuring him.

This is a fight where:
* Luffy heavily pressures the mid/close-range game with G5.
* Naruto has real room to try mid–long-range options, but he won’t always get perfect setups.
* Neither side is in a “lol hard counter” situation.
