Along with many, i would agree i am not interested in Naruto winning the battle, although i imagine the outcome as following: Sasuke defeats Naruto, but he finds the right words to drive Sasuke away from his homicidal intentions, leading to Sasuke departing away from everything, and never seen again, without a trace to say so... I do not imagine Sasuke suddenly living "happily ever after", especially with a family.

This is, along with the fact Sasuke is exceedingly more skilled warrior than Naruto: 1.Taijutsu - Sasuke beats Naruto hands down, with Naruto having very little skill in effective taijutsu (only advantaged with countless clones) 2.Ninjutsu - Naruto's only effective jutsu is his Rasengan (with all of the variations to it). Sasuke has Rinnengan (with all derived jutsu) + Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (with all derived jutsu), which not only greatly boost his reflexes and speed, but also offering deadly Amaterasu, Chidori, Susanoo, etc. Note that Naruto no longer has access to Kurama's prowess. 3.Genjutsu - This is plain obvious.

It may be a long battle, given how survivable Naruto is, but all odds are against him. "Kicking butt" of someone greatly dominating him in most aspects is ambiguous at best.
