it was more than a holding them off. If you watch the episodes or the manga again you will see that he actually played with them it was nothing more to him (he deflected everyone with chidori nagashi "played" with kurama stabbed Yamato ................... well Sasuke didn't use the curse mark in the battle with team Yamato and he actually wanted to use Kirin and the only one who could survive that would be NAruto because of Kurama and you can compare the curse mark more to the KCM or Bijuu Mode (where Naruto has full control or works together with Kurama) back then only Kurama could take over Naruto and so on

sasukes Curse mark was never anything near Naruto's Kyuubi cloak. that is absurd. if that was the case then sasuke Curse mode would have easily killed itachi. the curse mark was only a pseudo sage mode. it did not even give reflex increase. if sasuke with Curse mode were to fight naruto KCM mode naruto would rip him limb from limb
