@LegionZero

You still haven't answered my question. You also seem to forget that characters build their strength around abilities available to them, which results in their fighting styles. Sasuke has the Sharingan, so he doesn't have to create his own jutsu that has the same effect. He is gonna utilize it to the best of his ability.

Naruto is a special case, since, Naruto only truly was able to utilize Kurama's chakra effectively late in part 2. Naruto had the potential to be even more powerful than Hashirama even without Kurama. If Naruto had expanded upon his use of shadow clone training to cover a wider variety of jutsu, and progressed with years of training in this manner, he would have achieved Hashirama level in no time.
