A lot of Sasuke fans have been saying that in today's chapter, Sasuke has shown himself to be stronger. However, there is proof that Naruto is not using his full power. Now keep in mind that I am not saying that Naruto > Sasuke and that I know that Sasuke has not used his 100% full power yet either. I am just saying that fans are judging too soon. Here is why:

The battle started with a clash of arms followed by a fireball jutsu, which Naruto dispersed with a chakara arm. Now note that Naruto had chakara arms well before getting senjutsu of the six paths.

Sasuke then proceeded to hit Naruto with chidori and knock him off of the statue. He then shot 3 susanoo arrows at Naruto, which Naruto negated with Gudoudamas. Note that Naruto did not use the truth seeking balls offensively here, but defensively.

Sasuke then went into perfect susanoo and clashed with Naruto who went into his Kurama shroud (a shroud Naruto could manifest before getting senjutsu of the six paths).

The two clashed for awhile and the clash culminated in Naruto shooting a bijuudama (which he could do well before getting senjutsu of the six paths) and Sasuke clashing with that bijuudama using a perfect susanoo chidori.

Now, let's analyze all of the jutsus that Naruto has used in this fight thus far:

1. Chakara arms: Obtained well before senjutsu of six paths.
2. Truth Seeking Balls: Used only defensively
3. Kurama Shroud: Obtained when he got bijuu mode
4. Bijuudama: Obtained when he got bijuu mode.

Now we all know that senjutsu of the six paths is currently Naruto's full power. 3 out of 4 of the abilities listed above were not actually attributes of senjutsu of the six paths. They were abilities that Naruto had in basic bijuu mode (and even KCM in the case of chakara arms). The one ability (truth seeking balls) that Naruto used that is attributed to senjutsu of the six paths was only used in defense and wasn't actually used to attack Sasuke (and truth seeking balls have devastating offensive power as shown by Obito when he was the juubi's jinchuuriki).

Furthermore, since obtaining senjutsu of the six paths, Naruto has gained the powers of all of the other bijuus in addition to Kurama and the ability to add wind style to his bijuudamas and truth seeking balls. Naruto did none of this thus far.

In summation, on account of the fact that Naruto hasn't really used any of the powers granted to him by senjutsu of the six paths thus far (besides using gudoudamas defensively), and the fact that all of the powers that he did use (aside from those truth seeking balls) were attributes of bijuu mode, one can deduce that the level of power that Naruto used in today's chapter was at best the power of bijuu sage mode (BSM) (I said bijuu sage mode as opposed to just bijuu mode because being in senjutsu of the six paths mode adds senjutsu to Naruto's attacks).

Bijuu sage mode is not Naruto's full power. Senjutsu of the six paths is his full power. Therefore, Naruto did not fight at full power today and it is too early for fans to say Sasuke > Naruto.

Plus, Sasuke even admitted that Naruto was holding back.

Now that does not mean that Naruto > Sasuke either. Sasuke also did not use his full power as he did not use any of the six paths techniques of the rinnegan.

Either way, it is much too soon for fans to pick a winner right now.

That is all I have to say right now.

Naruto is just copying what he's seen in his previous fights:

No ones going to try in this fight, and Sasuke isn't going to use any rinnegan technique except for Rinnegan shift and maybe CT.

Hes trying to clear it up for the Sasuke wankers. Mr Uchiha knows damn well that Mr Uzumaki wasnt fighting back. Basically blocking and deflecting Mr Uchihas attacks.

The whole blocked a Tbb with a chidori isnt that impressive. Its a giant PS chidori vs a kyuubi tbb. Mr Uzumaki still has 8 other bijuu he can use. But Sasuke isnt worth those. Kyuubi will suffice.

The Kurama shroud has been seen before. It probably just had different markings because Naruto was in senjutsu of the six paths mode rather than just bijuu mode. Either way, he didn't do anything in this shroud in today's chapter that he couldn't do in bijuu mode.

With what Sasuke said, I think we all understood this. Also with what Sasuke said, he doesn't seem to want to kill Naruto or else he'd would have already used everything he has to get him killed quickly. (I'm not saying Sasuke > Naruto.. I actually thing Naruto = Sasuke in how they are fighting right now.) I just think it's going to be hard to dodge if Sasuke uses his Rin'nigan to attack Naruto. That's the only way Sasuke is going to be able to beat Naruto.

Like lets just say that Naruto does launch a pretty hefty attack at Sasuke to just disable him so he can talk? Sasuke just needs to shift places with him and Naruto possibly gets hit instead. How about that one glance genjutsu that seems just as powerful as Itachi's (which knocked out Kakashi and disabled him for a while) if he uses it's full power? (Might even be stronger and have the potential to kill).

I'm not saying Sasuke solos Naruto, there are a few moves Naruto can also use that can end this fight fairly quickly. Bijuu elemental chakra with any of his attacks (he can probably even combine the elements as well). His full speed along with his flying ability combined with the sage balls (LOL). That's to name a few things he can use on Sasuke. He can also use senjutsu infused attacks as well. Since he has the ability to restore chakra (As seen with Gai), he probably won't tire as quickly (maybe).

Anyway, yeah, at this point I don't think either of them want to kill each other. Sasuke is losing his resolve to kill him, since like I said, he would've gone all out by now.. which makes me think he didn't believe anything he said before the fight 100%

Youre comparing Sasukes genjutsu prowess to Itachis tsukiyomi? Sasukes rinnegan hasnt shown any tech that could solo Naruto.

Naruto blocked all of his best attacks without using his full power. I'd say his best attack is the attack he did on Kaguya with all the bijuu rasengans. Sasuke wouldnt be able to take that. We wont see it since Naruto doesnt want to kill his "best friend"

This whole fight will be attacker vs defender basically

Naruto is slacking off. He's too busy going through Flashback no Jutsu to do anything other than match Sasuke blow for blow.
