Kakashi wins

If you take away Sage mode, Six paths mode and KCM mode you're left with an admittedly quite rusty (not weak just that his battle senses have dulled in peace time) Naruto against a Kakashi who if his light novel and appearance in Boruto is anything to go off hasn't become rusty to the same degree. Outside of summoning Jutsu and Rasengan variants Naruto's arsenal isn't that versatile and while he does have access to Yin-Yang release and has the Chakra of the 8 other tailed beasts we haven't seen him really explore the potential of these abilities and doesn't seem to use them at all in his battle with Momoshiki. It may be unpopular but Kakashi with his superior intellect (Adult Naruto from what I've seen in Boruto hasn't really demonstrated to me that he's really made leaps and bounds in intellect enough for me to put him above Kakashi) and experience in fighting opponents way stronger than he is makes me seriously consider the outcome of this fight not being so cut and dry.
