Has the dynamic between Naruto and Sasuke's growth changed?

Kishi has always said Sasuke&Naruto were meant to be a pair and if one gets stronger so will the other.However it's obvious Naruto has completely overshadowed Sasuke to the point where even Sasuke knows he can't catch up,even if he gets another powerup Sasuke unfortunately won't be able to be at the level Naruto is currently at.So did Kishi decide to throw out the character dynamic between the two and is possibly setting up a Vegeta/Goku scenario where Sasuke is the second strongest?

It disappeared the second Kishi created the sage of six paths and connected him to Naruto.

They will be equal in strength simply for the old rivalry to appear unchanged, but they are no longer equal characters in development and importance.

Even though Naruto is stronger now, I'm sure Sasuke will recieve his fair share of power-ups.
If they're meant to be equal, then they will be equal, maybe Sasuke's turn isn't up just yet.

This^^. If he wanted them to be equal the Naruto SO6P parallels would've never existed.

They are no longer equals. Since Naruto was revealed to be Rikudou's reincarnation.

Naruto has always been ahead of Sasuke.

But usually Sasuke was smoetimes ahead of him.Hebi Sasuke was stronger than pre Sage Mode Naruto,Sage Mode Naruto was stronger than Pre MS Sasuke,MS Sasuke was stronger than Pre KCM Naruto,and presumably EMS Sasuke was stronger than KCM Naruto until Naruto gained BM.I don't see how Sasuke is going to catch up with BSM Naruto unless he receives some OP technique or powerup.

no they will be equal and on the opposite sides of the yin/yang spectrum

they're going to cooperate together and achieve peace like hashi and madara did before madara left

What is more shocking is that all these Naruto threads are being spat out by the minute. This is truly something I wouldn't mind if they were less repetative. I love to discuss Narusasu as much as the next guy but ugh lol

no it didn't
it said the juubi will learn what true power is
true power=naruto and sasuke cooperating together;hashi and ems madara cooperating together
people are going to be very disappointed if they think naruto is going to be reincarnated as the sage and beat obito

I thought they were going to be equals based on the parallels in their growth and the whole senju/uchiha thing and their symbolic fight at VotE standing on top of the statues of their ancestors. But this anime is called "Naruto" for a reason. Its like a Goku/Vegeta or Yugi/Kaiba situation. They are rivals, but one is clearly better than the better. I am still a Sasuke fan though, much like I am a fan of Vegeta and Kaiba. I don't get why people think you have to believe your favorite is the strongest all the time. You can like a character without them being the most powerful on the show.

As it stands currently

Base/3T Sasuke* = Base Naruto < MS Sasuke = SM Naruto < EMS Sasuke <<< RM Naruto <<< BM Naruto <<< BSM Naruto

*This is the base/3T form of EMS Sasuke. Which is arguably faster & has higher stamina reserves than any previous Sasuke. Considering any previous form of Base/3T Sasuke, Base Naruto is superior.
