How did Naruto handle Sasuke's teleport/Chidori combo? He literally didn't and just got smacked into the water.

How did Naruto handle getting his chakra drained by Sasuke? He didn't and literally just took more chakra from Kurama.

How did Naruto handle Sasuke's massive fireball? He used a chakra arm to overpower it.

Naruto's main responses to Sasuke are to tank or overpower. Which means Sasuke has to attack with more precision to land more hits, since he has less chakra to work with and more defense on Naruto's part to get through. But now you've equalized chakra and stamina. So either Naruto no longer has his means (chakra/stamina advantage) to deal with Sasuke's many hits, or Sasuke has enough power to keep hammering blows in without worrying about his chakra levels. This tips the scales in Sasuke's favour

Yes, but in the final battle VOTE2 80% of Naruto's feats were just ignored. How on earth does Naruto struggle holding back a fireball jutsu when a much weaker version of Naruto deflected 5 bijuu bombs on once? Why didn't he sunshin away, like he did so many times when he discovered NTCM for the first time? In a real all out fight, Naruto would be quite unbeatable on the ground. I mean have him go all out with his speed that he cut Kaguya's arm, with his power that is shattering the earth with from just the shockwaves, with thousands of shadow clones using SPSM, with the bijuu abilities including boil release that overpowered Kaguya herself? The same Kaguya who was destroying Sasuke's susanoo with her blows? And what happened with Naruto's superior sensing and reflexes at VOTE2? I mean c'mon...you don't have to be a genius to see that Naruto gets nerfed a lot in big battles, simply because some of his feats are just ridiculous and would turn the battle hard in his favor.

I’m of the opinion the Rinnegan has been equally needed and ignored
