It was never stated that they are equals as adults, no direct comparison has been made between them as adults. Kishi said that they can fight each other evenly at the end of the naruto series and subsequently said that he has never drawn naruto at full power even during the fight with sasuke at vote 2, since naruto never goes for the kill and he doesn’t know how to draw him at full power (At least at the end of naruto).
