True, but even if we belittle Naruto to Sasuke’s reserves, he still can at least put out a good fight. Sasuke’s reserves (obviously) aren’t shabby at all. We are esentially taking away Kurama from another + another chunck of Naruto’s chakra, which should leave Naruto enough chakra to use SM/SPSM (without the cloak) and throw some chakra arms here and there. And having this limitation, Naruto would most likely fight smarter as well like he did vs Pain. And he can still make up in strength and numbers, as well as having the ability to restore his reserves via NY gathering, which Sasuke lacks.

He definety loses without Kurama reserves, but would still have some tools to at least put out a good fight.
