and i agree with sharinnegan94, it is more that naruto ideals won over sasukes, the fight was a draw... Since fighting to kill shows the intent of a character. Naruto without any intent defeated Sasuke who wanted to kill him. Sasuke even called him out on it in 695. and Naruto flat out said he didn't want to kill Sasuke.

Hell even Sasuke said that Naruto probably wouldn't have lost his arm if he had intent to kill.
