@The Thekillman naruto won the 2nd fight at the vote as stated by sasuke himself. Two reasons why, naruto clearly told sasuke he was going to stop him, naruto was basically showing sasuke that he could take all that had to dish out, and he willing to take all and still stop him without killing him. On the other sasuke clear intent was killing naruto and he could not. Hence why he admitted defeat and actually naruto even told him it was not about winning and losing. And so what if sasuke ran faster than naruto it was not a race who said naruto was moving at top speed, sasuke just decided to take the lead.

I don't know what kishi's intentions were but he had many opportunities to say they equals and he never did. They are rivals and like most rivals are they will always be relatively close in strength.

@Greatestsin now you are just assuming again and making excuses, even if his chakra was drained naruto's was too severely, they were actually extracting kuruma. Besides the fight was taijutsu, yet still the "in form sasuke" was gravely injured and the "rusty naruto" he his own and we talking about taijutsu here.
