I know some of you are going to keep praising about Naruto being above Sasuke, but what if Kishi didn't give Sasuke a power-up? What i mean is that Sasuke is already strong in his own right. Naruto has definitely become a force to be reckoned in this arc, but Sasuke might just get the same thing that Naruto obtained to endure all these fights. What i mean of course is "chakra." Naruto is a chakra station in this arc, because of his current friendship with Kurama. Now Kurama just lends Naruto chakra when he needs it. Kishimoto can also make Sasuke endure chakra exhaustion from his reserves. I don't know why people keep bringing Sasuke's stamina problems. Does it make a difference? I mean Itachi is one of the strongest shinobi with the lowest chakra reserves out there. Does it determine his strength? No.

Another reason why Kishimoto might not give Sasuke a power-up is because he has all the necessary power to give Naruto a good match. I'm not implying he's above Naruto, but i'm saying is Sasuke doesn't need a lot of power to fight Naruto in close equal terms. We saw some of Sasuke's potential in his fight against Zetsu. We also saw Sasuke not wear out from using Susanoo and Amaterasu against Kabuto. Kishimoto exaggerated the chakra levels of all these ninjas on this particular arc, so i'm not worried about Sasuke's chakra reserves. I mean with the highly cost of all of his ninjutsu, he always spams to his heart's content. Look how impressive he was at the Kage Summit, despite his chakra levels. He was still able to fend off against multiple opponents at once. Now we have EMS Sasuke, which is a league above MS Sasuke.

In this arc, Naruto has become extremely powerful with his major improvement on KCM and BM, while Sasuke has been in the backseat waiting for Naruto to become stronger. Sasuke might just go easy on Naruto at the start of their match, but as soon as he starts getting pummeled by Naruto. I believe that's when Sasuke will reveal the hidden potential of his EMS. Sasuke might get a different Susanoo than Madara or possibly an exact replica. Also it begs the question if Itachi gave Sasuke, "the yata mirror or the totsuka sword." I believe the Yata Mirror should suffice i don't see why Sasuke needs the sword, when genjutsu is really not his thing at all.

Do you think Kishi is holding Sasuke's powers to reveal them against Naruto?

Are you implying that Sasuke could outlast Naruto?


Sasuke is weaker than Naruto. How do I know that? Even EMS Madara would fall to Naruto at this point. Only two people who could defeat Naruto are Nagato and Hashirama because of their unique chakra absorbing techniques. Someone like Sasuke whose only ability is to spam Amaterasu and Susano'o has nothing that can defeat him.

Sasuke still needs atleast one more power up to be on equal terms with Naruto.

He'll probably get Perfect Susanoo with enton cloak to surpass Madara's Perfect susanoo.

Plus Sasuke's chakra reserves haven't gotten any higher, because he has the ems now, it takes less chakra to use and maintain susanoo, amaterasu, etc.

Naruto can easily out-last Sasuke. Sasuke isn't even 1/10 of Naruto's chakra pool

You make it seem like it's an important factor. Who cares if Naruto's chakra pool is bigger than Sasuke. All the Uchiha's are strong adversaries, even with the lack of chakra. The deciding outcome of the winner is who gets the most injured or dies in battle. I don't see Naruto beating Sasuke by having more chakra than him. You should know both of them will be exhausted in the end. The difference is that Naruto will beat Sasuke to prove that he's finally better than him, or a draw, but the second outcome is less likely to happen.

I guess I can see your point, but with Sasuke's current feats, he's in tier below Naruto. If he has some secret power that he's been hiding, then you might be right.

Tsukuyomi can never work on Perfect jink.

S/T? How...?

Perfect Susano'o can take one TBB... Naruto can throw 5 at the same time.

Yata can block TBB's as long as Sasuke can keep Susano'o which is much less than Naruto can keep up BM, and Totsuka will do nothing to something that can't be touched.

Rinnegan? Naruto will overwhelm him with speed and TBB spam. Too easy.

Kyuubi? LOL ARE YOU DUMB

LOL stop.

S/T? da fuq?

Tsukiyomi won't work on Naruto

PS will put up a fight

He isn't getting the Yata mirror and Totsuka blade, they aren't abilities, tools that Itachi found, they aren't part of his ms

Rinnegan, nah Sasuke is proud to be an Uchiha, his pride wouldn't let him get the Rinnegan. The Uchiha ancestor doujutsu would be better

Kyuubi?!??! No, he doesn't have the body to become a Jinchuriki.
