Sasuke wasn't born with the sharingan if you want to get technical. He became a jinchuriki. He earned it mostly because he could contain it and his father had faith he could put kurama's power to good use and that's what he did via war arc. Sasuke earned the sharingan and he used it every second he can get. Its his ability he unlocked but Naruto has the ability to access Kisame though its his power naturally but the case is its apart of him. They are unofficial partners until the war arc. But this argument is so unnecessary. Sasuke was basically inferior to Naruto at most points in time without the help of kurama but he had access to its power. Just like soul eater. They are partners. As Narutoverse puts it its the power of the jinchuriki. The power of both the host and biju together. But if want to go with before the war and without special help. Sage mode Naruto vs ms sasuke I'd put them around equal IMO.
