And so did Naruto in the form of a massive boost of Natural energy via Kurama shadow clone. Naruto wasn't holding back, but he was exhausted.

Don't get me wrong. Had this not been written by Kishimoto Naruto would have logically wrecked Sasuke. But in this fight the two fought with 100% intention of winning and neither held anything back.

(@Rayzur and technically, that wasn't base anything. That was Sasuke with his Rinnegan on and Naruto with 1 last boost of Kurama juice) Actually Kurama said that all that Natural Energy was just used to equal Sasuke's Intra Arrow, otherwise they'd have been blown away since they were low on chakra.
