The only reason Naruto can stand up to him is thanks to Kurama and other Tailed Beasts' chakras. I mean, think about it. The Tailed Beasts are some of the strongest creatures in Narutoverse and Naruto has chakras of all of them, of course he is strong. But that isn't his own power. The furthest Naruto's gone by his own is Sage Mode.

The furthest Sasuke's gone by his own is Mangekyou Sharingan. And Mangekyou Sharingan Sasuke > Sage Mode Naruto imo. Not to mention Sasuke's a Ninjutsu, Genjuts and Kenjutsu expert when compared to Naruto.

Sasuke admitted defeat against Naruto. Naruto may have the bijuu inside of him, but Sasuke has eyes that aren't his. Base form, in my opinion, would mean; No sharingan use. No sage mode or kyuubi mode. Just your regular talent and physical effort. It would be what you can do without using obscenely overpowered abilities, whether they are kekkei genkai or kekkei dota. Naruto would have the edge, because he has more chakra. That would also may be edged evenly because Sasuke is smarter than Naruto. My point is, they are even. Sasuke has sharinnegan, Naruto has the bijuu chakra and sage mode. Sasuke is smarter, Naruto has more chakra. Sasuke, as you stated, is NOT stronger than Naruto.
