Genjutsu
As we all know, genjutsu doesn't work on Perfect Jinchuriki, as explained by my boy Killer Bee.

If Sasuke attempted to put Naruto on a genjutsu, Kurama would dispel it. If he attempted to put Kurama in a genjutsu while he's inside Naruto, then Naruto could dispel it. Their telekinetic link disables any and all genjutsu outside of Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is not castable without the Juubi, Gedo Mazou, and 2 Rinnegan, none of which are available.
Also worth mentioning, Sasuke is not good at

. He's just not particularly skilled in it, and even Tobito mentioned against Danzo that even though his genjutsu was shit-tier, it still provided that opening against Danzo. Will have 0 effect on a jinchuriki, but just tossing it out there for dissension purposes.Amaterasu
Sasuke's go-to technique, however, it's useless against Naruto (and anyone low Kage tier). It's been easily dodged by Ay and Kabuto, both of which Naruto surpassed in speed the second he obtained KCM.

Base Naruto counters this with a simple chakra cloak as he did canonically, causing Sasuke himself to admit Amaterasu is useless.
Also worth noting, Naruto could sense the chakra building up in Sasuke's eye since he has connection with all chakra in the universe, as explained by Obito and Nagato.

Speed
Naruto is the single fastest at Shunshin/raw foot speed in the manga. His RSM movement = instantaneous transportation as they strike the Kaguya orb at the exact same time when Sasuke used Ameno and Naruto just sprinted toward it.

Further proof: Naruto blitzed Kaguya several times such as

, among other times such as Kairiki Musou strike that sent Kaguya into a cliffside, his taijutsu exchange with her using Kage Bunshin and speed, etc. While Kaguya dodged Sasuke

Sasuke's best change at defeating Naruto would be Ameno and pray for it to land. In VoTE, he attempted this and tried to Chidori Naruto. However, that was bad writing because Naruto has better reaction time than that.
Kaguya, much like Janemba, could open portals and launch attacks through there. However, Naruto, at a moments sensed this attack from behind and

it easily. This attack is instantaneous and requires no prep while Sasuke has to actually cast his jutsu and physically strike at Naruto with Chidori or his sword or what have you. However, as Naruto has proven, that simply won't work because his Sage senses and perception enable him to have the reaction time to dodge it. Further proof, Naruto not only negated Madara's jutsu with Truth Seeker Orbs, but dodged the light-speed attack and physically

Madara with raw speed. Naruto has dodged both light-speed attacks and teleportation attacks prior to Sasuke being able to catch him by surprise. That is a case of Plot Induced Stupidity and an author inconsistency. Since Naruto has the showings to dodge these consistently, it's fair to assume this OOC moment was sheer laziness on Kishimoto's part because he had no other way to make the fight equal.Regardless, furthermore, Naruto has physically tanked fatal piercing damage several damage such as a sword and even Chidori at VoTE1. Even presuming Ameno blitz did land, it wouldn't do much, and the CD would leave Sasuke exposed. He can't lead with this or he leaves himself vulnerable to being blitz and crushed.
Absorption/Rinnegan techniques
Sasuke has never been shown to use any Rinnegan techs besides Chibaku Tensei and to assume he has them is baseless and fanfiction at best. Using this line of thinking, Naruto could do everything every other jin could use such as heat seeking Cat Fireballs, Yagura's weird coral trap attacks, all that kind of thing. However, we can run with it.
First off, nobody has more experience than Naruto in fighting a Rinnegan user. There's nothing Sasuke can do to surprise or catch Naruto off-guard and he effectively knows how to counter all of these fanfiction Rinne-techs.
Limbo - Naruto fought and defeated Limbo clones using only his

.Deva Path - Already been countered by Base Naruto in canon and now that Naruto is far faster and stronger, there's no reason to believe it would have effect. Wouldn't really have any use but to try and deflect attacks because to use the blast requires prep time and chakra generation, which would leave Sasuke vulnerable to a blitz or FRS.
Preta Path - There's no way in hell Sasuke can absorb

much firepower, let alone

one. What's more, even a simple Lava FRS appears to be too much. Madara is an expert with Preta Path and chose to try and

from Lava FRS from Mystic Naruto as opposed to absorb it. These are attacks Naruto can summon and hurl out in an insant, and even if Sasuke could theoretically absorb it, that takes time. Absorption isn't instantaneous and requires effort. Naruto could launch a TBB with one hand, watch Sasuke absorb it, then launch another with a clone from behind or just keep piling on the firepower til Sasuke overloads and takes the hit. Backpacking on to this, a basic Senpou: Rasen-Shuriken and single TBBFRS matched Indra's Arrow, a Bijuu empowered PS tech that Sasuke annoited his strongest tech. Naruto can produce far more firepower than that.Animal Path - Pretty useless at this stage of power
Asura Path - Would be more of a chakra waste than anything, those lasers are very ineffective. Maybe could be used as a distraction/decoy technique, but in and of itself, pretty useless
Naraka Path - Would require Sasuke to get in close range and actually grip Naruto, and pray it's not a clone. Presuming that happened, Naruto could just overpower and break Sasuke with Kairi Musou a la Kokuo like he did with Kaguya.
Gedo Mazou - Even teenage Choji could go rock with this. Would get one shot by RSM Naruto, not to mention actually has to be summoned.
Stating again, these are all fanfiction powers for Sasuke as he has shown none of it as his Rinnegan is different than Madara's and comes with different powers. There's reason to assume he has access to any of these until shown, even provided Naruto has counters and experience defeating them.
Summoning Animals
Gamakichi is the size of Bunta now, who is nearly Bijuu sized. Best case scenario it's a draw
Susano'o vs Bijuu Avatar
As canonically happened, Naruto countered Sasuke's Hagoromo blessed PS that was juiced by 8.5 Bijuu. Sasuke no longer has the Bijuu, while Naruto gained a full Kurama which would effectively make him twice as strong, twice as potent vis a vie their chakra melding. Sasuke also has 0 defensive feats with his Susano'o and Naruto's TBBFRS Barrage made Sasuke and his PS look like an ant when they attacked Madara's meteors. His Susano'o does not have the feats to believe he can even tank 1, let alone 6.
TL;DR - Naruto is a bad match for Sasuke and can counter everything he can dish out. He's an anti-Sasuke combat connoisseur. Unrestricted, bloodlusted Naruto would be one of the worst match-ups possible for Sasuke. He hasn't even trained recently and matched Sasuke perfectly, a field agent, in the Boruto movie final fight. He's never even had the chance to unlock his real potential because he's been running the world as opposed to training in his newfound Bijuu powers. Sasuke is a wiley, craft opponent, but he cannot defeat a non plot restricted Naruto Uzumaki
but nice thread bro!
