The reason Tsukuyomi was dangerous was it inflicted too much damage in too short a time for the partner to break them out of. But the regular MS Genjutsu that Sasuke has? Gyuuki broke Bee out and that allowed Bee to land a massive hit.

Genjutau is a nonfactor in this fight because Sasuke doesn't have Tsukuyomi. If Sasuke had any worthwhile Genjutsu that would work against Naruto and Kurama, he would have used it in their last battle.

Also, as stated above, Sasuke can't force Kyuubi back into the seal like he did in early Part 2 because now Naruto's Seal is different; Kurama resides inside Naruto but is no longer restrained. The seal is open. Sasuke could try to force Kurama back into Naruto but the worst that happens is Kurama just comes back out because nothing is keeping him back.

In regards to the premise of this fight, why are stats equalized? That makes no sense.

For one, their overall abilities are already canonically equal.

Not only that, equalizing their abilities takes away their strengths and weaknesses over each other.

Naruto is no longer massively stronger and he doesn't have his advantage in stamina. Those two things are not only some of Naruto's defining battle characteristics, they're a reason he can fight Sasuke, who's much more dexterous and lands more hits than Naruto overall.

Not only that, what's equal chakra? Do they both have Naruto level chakra? Because if so, Sasuke got a huge boost and can now use his Rinnegan techs like teleportation and most likely spam anything he wants.

Or does Naruto have Sasuke level chakra? If so, he tires way more quickly now because his strategies are usually to outlast and overpower. If he does that with less chakra than he has, he'll just run empty more quickly.

You made a thread intending to make the combatants equal by equalling their stats. But that's exactly what makes this fight unbalanced. While before, they were approximately equal, your thread decidedly tilts things in Sasuke's favor

While I agree with your first few points I think you're missing the point of stats being equalized. It doesn't entirely matter who they are equalized to, by making the stats equal the raw stats don't impact the outcome of the match. For example, Naruto had a significant advantage in attack potency. With that being equal it is no longer an advantage for any of them therefore can't be used to tilt the fight in their favor.

AsianReaper I completely disagree because we saw Naruto in base summon 200+ shadow clones all forming rasengans *when he was in base and way less powerful* equalizing stats would make the fight more focused towards Sasukes hax which Naruto has been shown to handle countless other times.
