Naruto was weakened. When Sasuke powered up Naruto was gasping from using too much chakra throughout the entire war. Being exhausted means you're weakened. Seriously, you ignore this. And you also ignore that Naruto was holding back with absolutely no intention to kill Sasuke, while Sasuke was going all out, and Naruto was casually blocking and deflecting his attacks.

Sasuke flat out lost. He admits it. Naruto was still willing and rearing to go after their final clash despite the state of his body and Sasuke wasn't.
