Yeah, he was being honest...in praising Sasuke's abilities. Not sure why you're Implying he didn't praise them. There's only like so many instances in which he informs Sarada how powerful her father is. Naruto not doing anything is the prime example of why he's rusty. Sasuke took majority of the battle role when it came to dealing with Shin. Hell,Sakura & Sarada contributed more. He couldn't manage to even touch Shin's clone in chapter 4.In chapter 6 he offers to watch the kids, gets his chakra mode pierced by Sasuke's sword, drops his defense (Kurama Avatar) leaving them all open, fast forward to chapter 8 where he's surprised Sasuke's eyes were weakened then proceeds to get jealous when Sasuke chastises him for scaring the kids during the battle against Shin. Chapter 9 rolls out, and Naruto opts they retreat from the army of Shin clones. Naruto doing nothing is an understatement. Based on facts Naruto is not stronger, Naruto has not shown the capability to recreate Goudama, has not shown the use of the other Bijuus power since the end of the original series, is told that he's "out of shape" in a sense by no other then Kurama, then requires rescuing in the last installment of thus franchise. Why shouldn't I mention the Paths? Sasuke is capable of handling Senjutsu. Orochimaru dubbed his Susano'o with Curse Seal markings to be a Senjutsu Susano'o. His body is compatible with NE albeit he can't gather it. Susano'o has already went up against Susano'o so I fail to see the reason for your doubt.
