It's pretty obvious as to how Naruto became weaker. What was Naruto doing those past two years after the war? Hanging out with Sakura and Konohamaru.
Naruto only got stronger because of the threat that was growing:
* Sasuke owned Team 7... badly. -- Naruto trains to learn Rasenshuriken to catch up Sasuke.
* Pain kills Jiraiya. -- Naruto decides to learn Sage Mode.
* Sasuke is too strong for Naruto. -- Naruto FINALLY realize he need Kurama's power to do anything.
* Obito pushes Naruto to his limit. -- Naruto unlocks BM.
* Madara pushes Naruto to his limit. -- Naruto obtain power of the Sage.
Each villain push him to his limits and beyond. Now that the war is over, I doubt Naruto needed Kurama Mode much if not at all. Therefore, he got weaker as time passed. Similar to Gohan from DBZ.
Allow me to use #MangaFacts to greater my assumption on this claim. When Naruto came back from training with Jiraiya all he learned was how to make a bigger Rasengan. Since there was no threat to push Naruto, he just barely got stronger. Only until Sasuke own him does he realize he "truly" need to become stronger.
Therefore, Sasuke > Naruto after chapter 699.
