No. He though naruto was ahead of him at VoTE. He got intimidated by what rasengan did to the water tank.
The only thing what holds Naruto back is his lack of desire to kill. If he went at Sasuke with full killing intent, Sasuke would be obliterated.
1st fight-felt he was falling behind wanted to prove his superiority
2nd fight- felt he out classed Naruto and even when Naruto showcased even more power stood his ground and fought through it.
3rd fight-(reunion) pwnd Team Yamato
4th fight (2nd reunion) fought Naruto even without susano'o and mostly blind.
Sasuke isn't stupid enough to try and fight Naruto when there are more important things on the line, besides on multiple occasions Sasuke has rushed opponents stronger than him. It makes him no difference![]()
If they fight, the only person at risk of dying is Naruto. Naruto would never kill Sasuke, though it would be the perfect ending to they "cycle of violence". He should have killed him after the Pain arc, and then the manga should have ended.
