Quality vs quantity.

Sasuke=quality. Not that much chakra but due to its sheer power (kurama says it's more powerful than his own) he goes places.
Naruto=quantity. Lot of chakra. Giving him the ability to try try again till he gets it right.

Ok to put it in tangible explanation…

Sasuke used 50 chakra unit to create chidori… naruto used 100 chakra unit to create rasengan, yet the outcome is equal.

if thats the case, why not sasuke put in more?

It also depends on the type of technique. Chidori is a piercing technique while Rasengan is destructive and more powerful.

Powerful chakra=More efficiency and strong jutsus can be used up without wasting too much. Such as Itachi, despite him having a bad stamina and was a walking disease his chakra was strong enough to pull out all the attacks even Susanoo till his last breath.
Pool of chakra= Has a lot of chakra.

If he uses more chakra then he'll end up using majority of his chakra reserves and his chakra reserves are below Naruto. If Sasuke uses 70 then Naruto can without a doubt use 140 to match Sasuke's jutsu.

Lets us say Sasuke has a total of 500 and Naruto has 1000, The no of jutsu they can produce or the amount of time thay can keep fighting are pretty much same or Naruto has an edge over Sasuke.

It's actually hard to elaborate this when we talk about quality. From what people post, the obvious deduction would be that Naruto doesn't have efficient enough chakra, only very high reserves of chakra in general. That obviously can't be true since he was a Jin and is able to pull off above S-rank jutsus like FRS.

Kurama never said Sasuke's chakara is better. He said its more sinister (there's a difference) you can watch the first shippuuden episode to see yourself. The quantity of Naruto's chakara means he's got three to four times more chakara than an average shinobi (Kakashi once said he got about a 1/3 of Naruto's chakara reserves).

Sasuke attacks are stronger, and require less chakra.
Naruto attacks require more chakra,
Which is why naruto primary defense is shadow clones and taijutsu
While sasuke can use ninjutsu

With the whole quantity vs quality thing, using vote as an example.

The quantity user such as Hashirama pour out more than just chakra, they put life energy into there technique to make a grander scale (SS).

While quality users have to be resource, use unlimited supply of chakra from the summoning.(kyuubi)

So that when there primary defense gives out (PS), they use the summoning in its place to carry out the battle. (Kyuubi)

^^Unfortunately it was taken and used against him in battle.

It's just like one guy lifting something with little effort, but has low stamina. It doesn't tire him out quickly because it's not that hard for him.

Then there's another guy who has really good stamina, but it takes more effort to lift the same thing.

The second guy's stamina is going to be what allows him to keep going, while the other guy's strength is what does it.

When Sasuke looked at kabuto after the vote fight and using susano'o in general.
