= they are equals, however doesn't 100% mean it'll be stalemate. but rather 50/50 chance of who will win.

Note 1: it's up to you to believe whether or not sasuke's suppression can hold down 4/6tails. there isn't any evidence to indicate that it can't. and as for the genjutsu, unlike the other bijuus, kurama seems to have an easier weakness to it. considering how easy it was for madara and even obito to subdue kurama (and mind you it was the fullpowered kurama, not the half in naruto) i see it being easier for sasuke whose potent chakra was even compared to madara.
Note:2. the reason sasuke cannot use suppression on naruto in his kcm. because in chapter 500, naruto takes the chakra from kurama and seals it within another part of the seal. essentially, the chakra officially belongs to naruto unless it runs out or something. plus, now that naruto is linked with kurama as a buddy system, i can't see sasuke pulling that feat off again unless that suppression feat targeted kurama and not the chakra (which makes sense).
Note 3: it's up to you to believe whether or not all of sasuke's MS abilities were unlocked the moment he achieved the new eyes or if he had to progress through stages to unlock them like his base sharingan. either way, sasuke got the short end of the stick which resulted in most of his losses because of lack of exp or chose not to use new abilities because of plot. (killer bee example). and before you defend KB. tell me, do YOU really believe sasuke would hold back his susanoo against KB, came close to dying several time. just so he can reserve it for his fight with danzo?
Note 4: it's up to you to believe whether or not naruto still possess his elemental bijuu(s) power and truth seeking balls. personally, in my opinion he doesn't have it anymore ever since losing his original arm. i believe the only power he kept just like sasuke's was their eyes. just like with rinnegan, naruto was allowed to keep his BSM (kcmv2 + sage mode). if he uses later on in the boruto series. then hey whatever. heck if madara can use susanoo without any eyes and kakashi can go perfect susanoo asap because kishi was too lazy to indepth of the rules of sharingan. then naruto can still use some of his six path abilities. and before someone brings up that naruto had BSM before the 6p upgrade. i know, i'm talking about the lack of sagemode pigments (whatever that means. probably better sensing)
Note 5. i don't care what anyone says. experience matters. naruto would not had defeated pain had he not devoted himself into practicing his taijutsu in sage mode and perfecting his rasen shuriken. the same logic applies to sasuke and his sharingan abilities. if i'm wrong, then again...sasuke got the short end of the stick. why? because if experience do not matter in evolving his sharingan. then technically he IS being held back (handicap) and can only progress when the eyes (plot) so chooses too. and don't give me the blind madara > ems sasuke excuse. either that was BS or madara's war experience throughout his life (exp boost rapidly in war times) is what allowed him to stomp sasuke. that would mean blind madara could take out most of the series.(hashi did say his era was stronger)
tell me what you think of the tiers. agree? disagree? common sense? don't give me the "always equal" BS.
