You guys really have to think in terms of practicality. As it's been said reaptedly Naruto has more at his disposal at his base state (without Kurama or any Tailed Beast chakra/skills). Pretty much all of Sasuke's repertoire revolve around his Sharingan and EMS. People say Naruto spams Shadow clones, but he has also learned to use them effectively not just overwhelm opponents or use it because it's one of the jutsu he knows the most. Sasuke has pretty much spammed Susanoo in every fight since A and Amaterasu to a lesser extent. Base Sasuke (no dōjutsu) still has ninjutsu (nature transforamtion (although he wouldn't be able to use Chidori effectively)), bukijutsu, taijutsu and has Indra's chakra (strong spiritual energy). Base Naruto has everything stated earlier plus Asura's chakra (strong physical energy). The fact that they're transmigrants/successors to Indra and Asura speaks volumes to their base states as their chakra isn't normal.
