IMO I believe that Kishi will make his characters have powers which would allow them to duke it out with any character in any series but this won't just be from having brute strength like characters such as Goku but instead give powers like Kamui which would force characters like Goku to fight differently to what they are comfortable with and this could give the Naruto characters a chance in the battle.

If Sasuke regained his curse mark or learned sage mode, he would only be able to be affected by taijutsu as one of his sage of six paths techniques allows him to absorbs ninjutsu+senjutsu chakra, and as he currently is the best living user of genjutsu he would be able to break out of any person's genjutsu.

I expect Naruto and Sasuke to both have at least one more power up in their current battle  as I think Sasuke will gain a form of immortality (he stated this and learnt for over two years from the guy who had two different forms of immortality and keeps on coming back no matter how many times people try and kill him). Naruto needs massive power ups in order to compete with Sasuke and be in the manga character hall of fame in terms of power.
