Naruto hokage is stronger because Naruto could know far more jutsu than he did in the Last, and that could make up for any rustiness.

Of course, it's not like having lesser training means he has less chakra. Naruto's supply as Hokage is probably even higher than Naruto's was in the Last.

In other words; you are working with a Hokage Naruto with more chakra, more wisdom, and probably more techniques. I see no reason for him to lose to the Last Naruto, simply because that Naruto is more battle-sharpened.

The truth is the reason Naruto's skills are so dull is not just because he has his office job, its because he hasn't had a decent fight since the Last. Naruto always had the advantage of constantly fighting better and better enemies, with which to constantly improve and sharpen his skills against. If anything, you can call the Last the truest test of his skills, but I highly doubt he stopped training altogether.

The truth is if Naruto and Sasuke put aside a month to train, and just fought each other, they'd be right back at the top of their game, but that serves no purpose when they are already the best. So you see the problem, Naruto can get stabbed, smacked, and hit all day, he's just going to heal the damage, and then blow the enemy up all the same, and if he knows even more dangerous jutsu, than you have an even higher likelihood of him not even having to fight hand-to-hand, meaning his sharpness in combat is pointless. (FROM OMEGA64 IN A DISCUSSION I STARTED TO COMPARE NARUTO THE LAST AND NARUTO HOKAGE)

Also Naruto has bijju's chakra because hago said that naruto is bijju's meeting place for every reaseon they may have, also he has hago's chakra because don't forget that chakra itself ca be regenerated (which means even if he doesn't have the sun mark, he has the full abilities which hagoromo gave him including to restore lost limbs or organs, but he can't perform anymore six paths chibaku tensei with sasuke)

Since he has an arm made of hashi's cells there may be a big chance of naruto awakening wood release which I personally think that he could do it in a large scale of even hashi itself because naruto has far more chakra than anyone, also since he has the ability to understand all universal things (thus mastering every technique he wants just by doing it one time, just like the keke genkais of othe bijjus) and can utilise perfectly yin-yang release he may also use the creation of all things (since naruto is the only one who has hagotomo's body and also creation of all things doesn't seem to require rinnengan to be used only yin-yang release which naruto has made a perfect use of it).
