Kishi said that probably for Sasuke fans to satisfy them. Based on feats on power that is available to them its clear Naruto should be superior.Kishi said in interview Hiruzen = Hashirama and we know that is nonsense.That's all well and good, but it doesn't explain what Sasuke does when Dual RS with the Earth's NE are headed towards him.
The truth of the matter is that nobody on this site (or anywhere else) knows how Sasuke survives/counters that attack, but Kishi apparently thinks he does, so...
Point is Kishi is author so he can do whatever he wants. If Naruto and Sasuke would fought again he would probably not allow Naruto to collect NE or whatever he wants in order to confirm his claim.
Sasuke unlike Naruto can open portals to other dimensions ,revive dead people with his Rinnegan,control Bijuus with Sharingan none of those Naruto can do. And Rinnegan gives him more versatility in his arsenal.
And gathering huge amount of NE is not really part of own Naruto power.
And we dont know what is preta limit. We saw Momoshiki absorbing everything and we dont know can other Rinnegan do that too.
