Or maybe, just maybe, Naruto didn't want to take chances given the fact he was protecting 2 kids. Lord knows that he's fought enough MS users to know that they can't be taken lightly.I saw people bashing Sasuke for letting Shin escape Lol
But guess what? Shin escaped from Naruto as well.
Sasuke fought Shin with 3T while Naruto used BSM
Yet Sasuke dealt damage while Naruto couldn't.
This confirms that Sasuke > Naruto.
However this is totally opinion based no, it's manga fact,
and I accept all your points of view Accept manga facts.
