I´ve seen a lot of people in here assuring and reassuring Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura are definetely more powerful than in war arc but the way i see it, they're not. This is my theory so here it goes.
First of the all, the timespan covered by the first 700 chapters was supposed to be a time full with conflicts, such as orochimaru's attacks on the leaf, the akatsuki, retreiving sasuke, sasuke's seek for revenge, pein attack , the war arc itself, such troublesome times made a lot of characters including naruto , sasuke and sakura grow at a faster rate than in normal and peaceful times, they got stronger in a really short gap of time becasue they had to if they wanted to survive.
Now ever since war concluded and IT was released, the times have been relatively peaceful compared to what we saw before, even Tenten complains that she barely sells any shinobi gear since the times are so peacelful now, so now the characters have no reason to get stronger, the times are peaceful, the 5 great nations and villages are in pretty good terms, and naruto, sasuke are the most powerful beings in existence while sakura is one of the most powerful shinobis of the leaf. Now let us take a look at naruto, sasuke and sakura separately.
Naruto: he is the hokage of the leaf, he already accomplished his lifelong dream of becoming hokage therefore getting the respect from people, he wanted to be powerful in order to be hokage but he's hokage already, naruto is not a powerhungry character, whenever he wants to get more powerful there´s a reason to it, like wanting to bring sasuke back, protecting the leaf from pein and protecting the world etc.
Now that he knows he's the most powerful being in existence why would he look for even more power when he is so busy attending his job as hokage, he barely even leaves his office and barely has time to spend with his own son, so i think if he had some free time he would surely spend it with his family instead of going for some training whe he knows he is already the most powerful being and his Rsm grants him understanding of all chakra natures. So long story short he's way too busy to train and is not a powerhungry character.
Sakura:what we all know from sakura after this span of about 10 years is that sakura is single mother also she's paying a loan of the morgage of her house, which by the way looked like a expensive and fancy house before she wrecked it. So what we can assume basing off of that is that sakura doesnt go on missions outside of the leaf very often, because she's got a child to look out for, she can´t leave her child behind for a long time, so she barely goes on missions out the leaf anymore, so she must work at the hospital or in some medical unit of the leaf, and as we all know, good medics are hard to find so she must be very busy, after all sick people and wounded people never cease to turn up , so she barely has free time to go training anymore, she may be a better medic, but it's highly unlikely she's a better fighter, besides her lessure time surely is spend with sarada. Also sakura is not a powerhungry character which further proves my theory.
So both Naruto and Sakura due to their busy jobs and seeing how little time they have left, they might be getting rusty.
Sasuke: the reason i put sasuke at the end is because sasuke unlike naruto and sakura is more likely to have improved his skills, all we know of sasuke from this last 10 years is that he's been traveling the world, he has a child but hasnt even come to see her once since he left, therefore more time, also as he is traveling the world he's more likely to find himself in dangerous situations that require him to use his skill physical energy and chakra , he may find a foe and that can be used as work out for him, also as he has more free time than naruto and sakura, he actually may spend time training, trying unlock more secrets of his rinnegan. Also sasuke has shown to be somewhat of a powerhungry character and is kinda unpredictable so he's the more likely to have improved out of the whole team 7.
As for the other members of K11 i would say they got stronger, because they are not as busy as naruto and sakura and they saw the power of the members of team 7, so they may be training in order to try to catch up to team 7 even if it's just a little.
What do you guys think of my theory?
