If that's the case, then it should be obvious that even Naruto was enhanced by Six Paths Chakra. Both Naruto and Sasuke, in base, were enhanced by Six Paths Chakra. So, I see no reason why Base Naruto shouldn't be able to keep up with Sasuke in Taijutsu as both got powerful by receiving each half of Hagoromo's God-Like Chakra in their Base.

Also, as you said, Sasuke has always been a little better at Taijutsu than Naruto. So no wonder, Sasuke somewhat overwhelmed him but Naruto still kept up with him and landed some hits.

Even though there were no instances of Naruto training in Taijutsu in the War Arc. Experience still counts. The more you fight, the more skilled you get naturally. I mean, this is just natural for anyone and also relatable in real life. You can see it if you compare Beginning of Shippuden Naruto and End of Shippuden Naruto, or hell EVEN if you compare Naruto from Pain-Arc to END of Shippuden Naruto. Naruto, by the end of Shippuden, received an ENTIRE half of Hagoromo's Chakra which naturally enhanced him, also had far more battle experience than his self from beginning of Shippuden. Which explains why in the final fight:

1. Naruto could create one handed Rasengan/Rasengan Barrage with no clones in Base as well as do Massive Rasengan ( Against Madara ), with absolutely no effort at all ( With a clone though ). Something which he could not do in the beginning of Shippuden, when he needed Kurama's Chakra to EVEN create a smaller version of Giant Rasengan as well as needed two clones till the end to handle it. ( Against that fake Itachi - episode 15 )

2. Use GIANT RASENGAN BARRAGE against Madara's OP Wood Style, something which he had previously done somewhat a stronger version of, against Kurama in Sage Mode. But now he could do it in Base.

3. Seemed far more skilled and faster in Taijutsu ( In base ), as he matched Sasuke, in their final fight.

4. Another thing is Naruto's strength naturally increased a lot in battle. And I'm actually serious about this. In their final fight, Naruto demonstrated a punch which he had never ever done in his whole life in his base form ( The punch that sent Sasuke flying several meters high onto the mountain cliff in the final fight ). Beginning of Shippuden Naruto never did anything even close to that. ( Without Kurama's influence )

Thus, no wonder, Naruto kept up with Sasuke in the final fight. Then again, I do admit that Sasuke, being naturally more skilled and having more battle experience than Naruto still had the upper hand throughout the fight and managed to get the best of Naruto at times. Hence why, Sasuke still has my utmost respect.
