Is this why Kishimoto nerfs Sasuke so much ?

When Sasuke first appeared in part 2 he was already an S-class and possibly a kage level character, he defeated all of team Kakashi and everyone was helpless against him including the Kyuubi, he defeated Orochimaru, deidara and he done better than anyone else against Itachi.

but suddenly he was nerfed so much that he seemed like he existed only to show how powerful the other characters are by successfully performing their attacks on him (almost like Genos from Onepunch-man)

I think it started after he awakened the Mangekyou when he fought Killer B, and its also when Naruto started to become stronger

Sasuke almost died and couldn't hurt Killer B at all until the very end of the battle

the same happened during the Kage summit, where he took at least one hit from almost every character in the summit including the bodyguards

and the nerf was even more clear during the fight against Kaguya where every member of team 7 landed a hit on Kaguya except for Sasuke
Naruto landed more than one hit

Kakashi landed a hit

even Sakura who is below Sasuke in both strength an skills landed a hit

all but Sasuke

and there's more but that's what came to my mind

I think until this moment in Boruto (even though not to that extent) Sasuke is still being nerfed

and I think the reason behind this besides the obvious reason that Sasuke seemed very powerful and had to be brought down, is Narutos lack of a clear victory over Sasuke!
so Kishimoto is trying to put them in balance by making Sasuke not perform very well in his battles even against opponents that're weaker than him, Sasuke's best performance appears only in his major battles like the one he had with Danzo and Naruto as he was the one dominant in these battles! I think it's actually an attempt to make Naruto and Sasuke seem more and more equal

thats what I think, its not a naruto vs sasuke and I could be wrong
what do you think ?

Sasuke is the only one in the manga who forced JJ Madara to escape

Amenotejikara is too strong

He's too conceited with his power so he wasn't pushing to the max.

Killer Bee, the Raikage and whatever the flying old man is called were top tier ninjas so what did you expect

rather Sasuke was getting too cocky

Are Chojoru and the Mizukage also considered top tier ? and also wasn't Orochimaru and Deidara top tier ninjas ?
Killer B, Raikage and Onoki are no exception

Chojoro looks like a weak character but somehow became a kage

easy to explain

Deidara had a gimmick with a long out fight on a vast playing feild were Sasuke learnt things

also Sasuke is lightning based which is the anti for earth based users


on the other hand Sasuke went to a Kage summit with no info and fought against a lava KKG that could melt his Susanoo (he thought he could just breeze through due to it) while he also never knew that there was another Mist swordsman


plus after he got his powerup he literally went on a spree of wasting precious MS and Susanoo abilities on Samurai fodder

the dude was just running wild

not the same Sasuke that was more calm against Dedera

You don't really have a strong argument for why you think he was nerfed. He really wasn't, there was no way he would've been able to beat 5 kages by himself. Orochimaru died because he was weakened, Itachi let him win, Deidara lost due to elemental disadvantage, and team Kakashi wasn't defeated; technically they were all still standing (except Naruto) ready to fight.

Sasuke could've at least taken out two Kage if the others hadn't interfered.
