No naruto's got more panel time and and plot will be on his side...On a serious note he's got larger DC and more chakra and more stamina. In a 1V1 battle who knows what would happen though. Just because someone is stronger, doesn't mean they'll win in a fight. This ain't DBZ.
To all those who deny it, here look at this interview below
Q: What is your feeling towards Sasuke now that he has gone through drastic change throughout the series?
MK: Sasuke is always in the corner of my mind. Naruto and Sasuke progress as a pair. So when I write about Naruto, I always have to think about Sasuke. They are on opposite sides of the spectrum, like yin and yang.

Kishimoto clearly states Sasuke and Naruto progress as a pair U_U
Yes, they are on the same level but Naruto is stronger. They're equal like Madara and Hashirama were equal while Hashirama was still stronger; only Madara could fight against Hashirama.
People always comment on the bijus, naruto hardly uses them exept kurama of course. But he will always have kurama. Kurama.. In a way kurama is narutos kekkai genkai.
But no, there not equal, never have been, always been one ahead of the other, sasuke had it from the start, until naruto got sage mode.. Then I'd say they were even for a bit. Then once naruto got kurama as a partner, he's ahead. Idk who will come out on top, but I expect a lot more feats from both. Sasuke still prob has another ability with his eye, and naruto.. Well he's still got the strongest thing yet, his avatar.
Naruto was talking about the next time he meets Sasuke, he knows Sasuke was going to get stronger so knows he has to get stronger as well. Naruto out right said he would fight Sasuke anytime and said Sasuke still doesn't accept him as an equal

. Naruto read Sasuke's mind from the clash and vice versa
No, Naruto never said or implied that. He even said he'll fight him anytime, he only said he would need Kurama power for the next time they fight since he knows Sasuke is going to get stronger. Sasuke lost his Sharingan and was going blind so what would make Naruto think Sasuke could beat him when he can't even use any MS jutsus anymore, Sasuke would need Itachi's eyes for that and Naruto knew about Sasuke getting it by reading his mind when they clashed

. When Naruto sees the EMS in the War he didn't show any surprise but acted as he was expecting it

Naruto seen Amaterasu before so that's not surprising him either and Sasuke knows Naruto have a Bijuu so he's not surprised either.
No, he was wrong. Naruto was talking about needing Kurama power for the next time they meet. Naruto read Sasuke mind when they clash, it even shows the flashback of when Sasuke mentioned it in part 1 to show that before they clashed. Naruto has perfect SM and can fuse with the toad with Kurama as his friend or if you count him out so Naruto have access to frog song, boiling element, and the aid of the toads own jutsus. Sasuke had to get Itachi's eyes for EMS so that doesn't count in this, he has to active it just as Naruto need to activate SM/KM/BM/BSM.
I'm really not in the mood for a debate. But Naruto loses every time. He can't even dodge Amaterasu unless you think he's V2 Ay speed?
Zetsu you mean. And he said before Sasuke showed Susanoo, and Enton. Not to mention who knows better about it? Zetsu or Naruto who actually fought him?
Naruto can sense Amaterasu as Nagato and Obito shown to sense it and Naruto's sensory have better sensing feats than that. SM increases Naruto's speed as well and he used that sensory+speed to dodge and counter the 3rd Raikage who Naruto compared to A and this was a clone of Naruto might I add. Naruto made 12 clones so that clone had 1/13th the power of Naruto's actually power and he was training even before going to the war so that's not even his full power either.
You think Naruto who never fought MS Sasuke would know everything Sasuke can do? He read his mind when they clash but that was to know about Sasuke gaining more power to fight Naruto since Sasuke lost his Sharingan while he was going blind. Zetsu actually records all Akatsuki fights so would know about both power from the last time he seen them fight.
MS Sasuke is stronger than SM Naruto, but the difference is not that big. But here is the thing: Naruto would be getting stronger and stronger, while Sasukes would eventually lose his sight.
How is MS Sasuke stronger? Amaterasu gets sensed and dodged, Genjutsus get dispelled by Naruto or the toads (Naruto can fuse with them), Arrows get sensed and dodged as well. Naruto's frog kata takes Sasuke out in close combat with it's 1 hit attack power. Naruto's frog song takes down Susanoo as it paralyzes Sasuke's mind and body (Kabuto's sound Genjutsu only paralyzes the body and it took down Sasuke's and Itachi's Susanoos). Naruto can Rasengan the ground to make a dust cloud to counter Sasuke's Sharingan as he attacks or prepares an attack.
Sasuke still feels pain from using his MS jutsus, Susanoo aches every cell in his body and his eye sight was blurry with using Amaterasu and putting it out against Bee.
Oh you mean the Sasuke who was said to have increased his growth speed with drugs or forbidden jutsus from Orochimaru? Or when Naruto was really weakened from his fight with Orochimaru as Sakura said here

, Naruto said so himself here

, and the fact that he decided to not use Kurama's power before meeting Sasuke when we know 3 tail+ can take Sasuke.
Also Naruto trained his base power and improved so much that Kakashi said Naruto was equal or even surpassed him

. I know Sasuke's base was stronger than Naruto's when they first met but their overall power is Naruto (4 tails)>Sasuke (CM lvl 2).
