First off, I'd like to state that I really do enjoy the way Kishimoto decided to go in terms of the powers for both Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke transcending the Rin'negan in his own right, makes it a bit more unique, and the new eye in which is identical to Kaguya's eye, will be extremely powerful with abilities far beyond Hagoromo or Madara's Rin'negan's. But there is quite an anomaly here; Sasuke's abilities lack Senjutsu and Naruto literally made Limbo from Madara, look like absolutely nothing, and he wasn't even trying to dodge the attack! The Senjutsu he beholds is on a completely different scale, unlike any other we've seen before and that's not even the most of it. Naruto wields the Gudou Dama, insinuating that he can use 5 elements at once, and any time we've seen someone categorized with said Gudou dama (Hagoromo, Obito, Madara), they also can wield Onmyoudon to erase Ninjutsu. Naruto almost certainly will be able to do so due to having the Bijuu's chakra, which essentially mirrors the Juubi's in essence (and Obito noted that regardless of the sample size, the Bijuu's chakra remain just as potent as it would be in full). I fully expect Sasuke to show the full power of the Rin'negan and beyond, and showcase a massive Susano'o, scaling partially beyond Madara's, but will that be enough to go against Naruto? Naruto is literally untouchable because of his sensing (He is now inarguably the best sensor in the manga), wields the power of the 9 Bijuu which can lead to absolutely obscenely powerful combinations, wields Gudou dama, insinuating that he has a mastery of the 5 elements and his defense is nearly absolute, and he most likely has Onmyoudon, which throws pretty much all of Sasuke's attacks, regardless of potency, right out the window. We can't even forget how fast he is now that he has chakra basically mirroring the Juubi (scaled to Juubi Jin's). I can see Sasuke competing valiantly, but it doesn't look like there is a relative equilibrium like the manga initially portrayed.

Man, the font size hurts my eyes, but it was a good read!
Yeah, I agree as well. His sage mode has made his sensory even better.
He has reached the sage's sage mode.

Complete nonsense. The "Sharinnegan" is the ultimate doujutsu, Sasuke will show ultimate ocular prowess that competes evenly with Naruto's abilities.

As for Sasuke lacking Senjutsu, that doesn't matter anymore now that we've learned that space-time jutsu are still effective against Onmyoudon.

naruto's my favorite character and all, but i hope sasuke's eye has some techs. that can compete on the same scale as naruto and make them equal or extremely close, otherwise it'd go against the original ying/yang idea of this.
