Sasuke LOST THE FIGHT. If Naruto had INTENT TO KILL, he would've succeeded in killing Sauce. But since Naruto held back to a certain degree, that holding back is what kept him on level with Sasuke through the fight.
Think of it this way, though they have rules to avoid lethal strikes/death, when MMA fighters they fight WITH intent to subdue until Ref's end the fight (or in otherwords, KILL.) Disregard morale compass, if referees weren't present to stop fights and enforce rules, the majority of the fighters who lost would be on their death beds.
Now imagine a fight with no Ref's to intervene. (Naruto Vs Sasuke)
Imagine if a fighter who decided not to follow the rules, going for lethal strikes and no Morale compass to stop after the pennant is conscienceless. Main goal is victory through death. No holds barred. (Sasuke)
VS
Imagine a fighter who knowingly enters this fight, with no intent to kill, still following fighting rules, avoiding lethal strikes ext, even without the ref present. Main goal is victory through normal means, aka not killing, following normal MMA fight procedure. This substantially puts this fighter at a FAR GREATER DISADVANTAGE. (Naruto)
Naruto still came out on top, while still holding back his killing potential.
They may have technically been unable to move and unable to fight in the end, but since Naruto was at a greater disadvantage and yet still pulled out a draw...
Naruto won
I also thought about it , but wasn't Sasuke's intent to kill an advantage for Naruto?
Sasuke never stopped attacking Naruto while Naruto was on a defensive mode.
This could be the best way to beat a Yin master , survive his attacks and wait until he is weak.
Naruto's goal is to survive Sasuke without killing him , Sasuke's is to kill Naruto.
What is harder:
-Being a Yin master and killing a Yang master
-Being a Yang master and surviving a Yin master without killing the Yin master
As Yang masters have huge life force , they need to be punched harder to die , that could be a disadvantage for the Yin master.
As Yang masters have a huge life force , it may be advantageous for the Yang master that the Yin master won't stop attacking.
If a smart Yang master had fought Sasuke with intend to kill , I bet he would have chosen that "hold back" strategy , given that endurance is one of his strengh , before killing the exhausted Yin master.
If you think about it , that's how Hashirama stabbed Madara's heart with his sword.
