@LaughingLyon isn't my source, @LaughingLyon provided the source. to the character profile of Sasuke. Which Kishi wrote. That said he and Naruto are equals. What are you on about?

You haven't provided any evidence, which is why we're having this discussion lol.

You've yet to see some infamous article that Kishi wrote, but you're ignoring a literal character page he wrote on Sasuke and ignoring the Boruto movie which he wrote, both of which says as adults, they're equals. Idk why you keep ignoring it.

You... you're basing this off of only Naruto showing new abilities? Seriously? Sasuke is literally away from the village most of the time, of course we have more opportunities to see Naruto's abilities than Sasuke. Plus, Sasuke can open portals to other dimensions now, which is a new ability. So you're wrong about Naruto being the only one who showed any new ones.

2 people can be equal in terms of combat and one can still lose. Like Tobirama vs Izuna. The author has made it clear that Naruto won because his convictions were stronger, not because he was a better combatant. And again, Naruto held back in the beginning, not the whole way through the fight. Sasuke even notes part way through and says, "finally getting serious, huh?" in chapter 696.

You're not right because you claim you're right, but you can prove yourself by finding an article to prove your point. Shouldn't be too hard, everyone else cited their sources. But now it seems even the links you posted above are dead links. What kind of credibility does that lend your argument, that you refuse to post any citations besides ones that don't have any sources and don't even stay up very long?

LOL expending chakra has nothing to do with holding back? If Naruto was holding back then he would have more chakra by the end, but his fight with Sasuke forced him to use it all up.

Sasuke noted Naruto wasn't going all out at first, and noted he would die if he continued like that. And it seemed that way, Naruto was on the defensive for the entire fight until Sasuke gathered the Tailed Beasts and Naruto gathered Nature Energy. Then, as noted by Sasuke, Naruto was going all out.

Yeah, uh, when did Kishi say Naruto never went all out? Cite your sources, or else your claims are useless in debate

No need for the short story, I’m not compelled to back up any claim since it’s already been known for years on the internet because the author made the claim not me and I could careless either way.
