Even when he could do that now, Sasuke would need to open the portal, and try and send Naruto there, but with Naruto's speed and reflexes, Sasuke would fail. Plus, the thing about in the boruto movie, is that Naruto and Sasuke were meant to work as a team, that is why the two were nerfed down to where they can only use taijutsu. If they could use ninjutsu, then Naruto would go faster than he did in the movie, but again, for plot reason, and the fact that their opponent can absorb and use any ninjutsu, they were both nerfed to where only their taijutsu, and transformation into the majestic Kurama armor mode was their only option to win.

Plus, on your question, Sasuke was never "given" that jutsu, he just never knew he had it until he started to use his Rinnegan more often. Remember Sasuke just gotten his Rinnegan during that time, he never knew the power he had until later on. Even Kurama had stated that.
