First, I was giving a serious thought to the thread then came some nice counter-arguments.
My verdict is, like I've said in some kinda similar scenarios... That Sasuke is deemed smarter than Naruto, so any premature judgment from Sasuke will be taken seriously, same with Naruto, any of his mature decisions will be taken surprisingly...

OP just mentioned those scenarios where (even) Sasuke made unwise call and (even) Naruto made a wise decision...

Nnaruto made better decisions during the war arc than Sasuke. For example when he saved entire alliance from BD.

That was a situation well-suited for Naruto considering Naruto's chakra was all apart of the Alliance's which meant he was capable of warping them all out.

That really doesn't have anything to do with decision-making though, more to do with thinking up a strategy on the spot.

Okay sure Naruto goofy but when it come's to critical decisions he's a adult at the age of 17.

Here's sasuke thinking it's wise to attack danzou at the kage summit instead of wait until he's on the way home to intercept him.

Here's him trying to capture 8 tails not knowing gathering all the bijuu would bite him in the rear later on

If you look at all of Sasuke's fight's and motives in part 2, he was driven strictly by impulse. He didnt any forethought behind his action's.

On the otherhand Naruto took a more political approach with tough situations

Seem he's made the wisest decisions between the 2.

Naruto's decisions leads him to having support and trust. Sasuke's decisions left him on the verge of death and abandoned smh.

Rage duh :| = more rash

OP excludes Hebi and Sauces's fight with Danzo becuz..........

I agree, Naruto even knew what a Shinobi was, while Sasuke had to ask the Kages.

Sasuke is as idiot as his fans.

OP: when it comes to maturity, naruto takes this. Naruto is mature that's why he was chosen as a hokage and due to his efforts sasuke is now roaming freely. This is naruto's wisdom which saved sasuke from death penalty.

Ok let me force your brother to kill your entire family have you watch it for 72hours straight then lets see if you make wise decisons when it comes to gettung even naruto fans dont understand why we like sasuke its because hes relatable not everything is all sunshine and rainbows like narutos world sasuke is good guy but he fell down a path of vengenace due to his horrible past and thats relatable people dont always do all the right things when they have hard pasts

Except there are people he knows trying so hard, even risk their lives many time over and over again to give him love and support. He even knows deep down those people's path is not even close to a normal people but has similiar background or worse than him.
He already has what it take to make him not become crazy. To make this even easier to get out the horrible path, he lives in a world that killing is a job and part of his life, so does everyone else.

No, it was decision. He decided to save his friends instead of blindly follow Sasuke's plan

if the kyubi have been implemented in sasuke I think he would have released him waaay before naruto, but that's only my opinion so it can't be taken as an argument.

but naruto is the second jinshuriki to control his bijuu, I think that this takes great maturity, no, exeptional state of mind, something that shippuden was all about, the strenght that naruto has.
naruto has been able to achieve this level of illumination (like bouda) by jiraiya's teachings and by his life and by his previous lifes (ashura)
naruto also has a dark side that was exploited by kurama, you can see that he makes peace with himself and abondons all of his hatred in order to control kurama. and he had to keep this incredible balance after controling kurama and before he became friends with him.

OP is about Naruto being more emotionally mature than Sasuke.

People pointed out that Sasuke has been damaged emotionally. Sure. But that stunted his emotional growth. 17 year old Sasuke is basically in the same place he was at age 8/9, being angry at others for the loss of things he cared about, and pursuing that goal in the only way he knows how - vengeance. He's about as mature as Madara, and was headed down that path until the conclusion of the Kaguya Arc showed him where that path leads. After that, he started to mature again.

Naruto, in contrast, never really suffered something that would stunt his emotional growth until Sasuke left the village. And yeah, he spent three years mooning over Sasuke and trying to figure out a way to get him back. However, while he never progressed past wanting to get Sasuke back, he did mature emotionally in other ways. Whereas every encounter Sasuke had only reaffirmed his obsession with revenge and his pain, Naruto's encounters taught him about the complexity of achieving peace and finding a way to understand others. He was able to understand Sasuke because he matured emotionally and came to see things more appropriately to Sasuke's point of view. He also progressed past the point that Sasuke - and even Itachi, up until his death - failed to understand; that you can rely on others (of course, he learned this thanks to Itachi).

So yeah, Naruto was more mature than Sasuke up through to the end of the manga (after which, they're basically on the same level, and Sasuke is in a position to start giving Naruto advice as CoKage or whatever).

Had Sasuke have that option, he would've done the same.

Sasuke didn't have the advantage that Naruto had which was why Naruto could think of that strategy. I wouldn't necessarily use this as an example as you're implying that being the most strategic thinker in the midst of combat would ultimately make you the best decision-maker which I don't think has to be the case.

1. The reason he thought it was wise to play around twith the 5 Kage was because Tobi wanted an accurate representation of his power. He needed a test and it goes back to revenge against the people who set up his family's demise mainly Itachi's.

2. Sasuke wanted to get rid of the Leaf's top brass and of course he would to anything to get rid of Danzo including people that were ganging up on his side. Those Samurai, Raikage, Kazekage were all in the way of his plan so he had to get rid of them too. It is more impressive not knowing what you are getting into and still being able to pull yourself through btw. Sasuke was forced out of hiding because of Zetsu's retardeness. I love how you blame it on Sasuke for this. Zetsu had to be that snitch who told the Raikage that he was here. The Raikage being angry as is for his brother's capture fully went into a rage mode and got out of that building to go underground to attack Sasuke. The Kage Summit ain't his fault at all, he simply went there to test his powers.

3. At that time he was angry with the Leaf for what they did to the Uchiha Clan. Of couse at that time he needed a place to go to to conduct operations and plan things. He was pissed with Konoha and opted to do things against their wishes.

4. Naruto had a place he could call home and he wasn't tormented by a person that literally forced him to watch 72 hrs of his parents dying. He had what he could call friends, but no one was willing to understand Sasuke's pain and if they said they did all they did as end up hurting him more. They truly never understood him and Naruto notes that in the end of Vote 1 he never understood what Sasuke went through. Tell me what you would do under those circumstances where your family was brutally murdered, you have been lied to your whole life and realize your brother was a good guy, realize that those people who you used to stay with are actually laughing at your brother's death.

5. How much of an impact would these psychological factors traumatize Sasuke. You are talking about maturity after you have been literally mind raped with all these unexpected events and on top of that every step you take people are always lying to you or trying to use you. Maturity cannot be judged for Sasuke because his upbringing was different. His life was more painful than what Naruto's would have ever been.

6. Ok so chasing Sasuke for 3 years without minding your business is what you call maturity?
Rek'd.

No, he wouldnt have done the same because this out of his character. He let Sakura and Kakashi die just because their skills were useless at that time.

The word "Mature" shouldn't even be used when discussing those 2.
