Both Naruto and Sasuke had trouble, Naruto was taken by surprise by being stabbed by Sasuke's blade, and overreacted to it, and I already said what Sasuke was forced to do. Besides, them getting "rusty" isn't equivalent to getting weaker. Unlike last time, Naruto has all of Kurama now (And we've seen what Naruto in NTSCM could do in The Last, and even in base, he wasn't even in SPSM when he blocked the moon-splitting beam) and later when Sasuke used susanoo he took Shin out pretty effortlessly, and Naruto could do the same thing if he was in TBM. However, it is true that Sasuke's teleportation ability allows him to travel dimensions now but we don't know exactly how that works nor if that can be used offensively. Basically what I'm saying is they've both gotten a bit rusty but are still a lot stronger than they were in the war. it wasn't that Sasuke was rusty it was that due to his ocular powers being drained he couldn't use his sharingan and Rinnegan abilities and Naruto getting rusty basically means he lost a lot of the skill he had back in the day meaning that he is overall weaker then he was before just as it was for Hanzo (seriously prime Hanzo is a very underappreciated character who had the strength to fight off against all three sannin at once)
