TTJ Madara is as powerful as Naruto and Sasuke as adults. Madara literally had both of their powers. Naruto + Sasuke = TTJ Madara. Madara had way more chakra than they did, way more experience too. Madara wasn't even using base Rinnegan abilities and could keep pace with Naruto and Sasuke. If Madara got serious and stopped trying to have fun, he could of easily killed Naruto and Sasuke, especially with the limits of Amenotejikara shown in the Kaguya Arc.


 * Sasuke's only advantage was Amenotejikara.
 * Naruto's only advantage was Negative Emotions Sensing.

If TTJ Madara was using his abilities through his Limbo and actually making use of the Rinnegan's base abilities, he could of made easy work of them. Not even Naruto could keep one of Madara's Limbo clones sealed for a while, and Madara was for all intentions and purposes Immortal. Madara was defeated by Plot. Kishimoto even said in an interview that he didn't know how Madara would be defeated. It's obvious he would have ultimately defeated Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto without a cloak had TTJ Madara on the run? When? With the Rasenshuriken, TTJ Madara could have easily absorbed it. He hasalready shown himself absorbing Hashi's Sage Chakra and he absorbed Naruto's Rasenshuriken before. Why he didn't absorb the Lava Release Rasenshuriken? - Have no clue, but it's not like he couldn't when we've been shown otherwise. We he "ran from" Sasuke, he wasn't running from him out of fear, but out of need to get his Rinnegan before Sakura could destroy it. (Obito / Kakashi shared vision from the MS before, so I imagine a similar situation occurred between him and Obito as Madara knew exact where Obito was and where to throw the Black Receiver upon entering Kamui's dimension.) They were comparable in terms of being able to dish out lots of damage, but TTJ Madara wasn't fighting to his full potential, while Naruto and Sasuke were at that current point in time.
