Naruto and Sasuke could go all out when they had nothing to lose, but nowadays they have far more to lose. Naruto couldn't blast the Bijudama in the sky because it would level Konoha and murder thousands. Sasuke couldn't use PS because we've seen that a single slice can cut mountains, which is a stupendous liability near a densely populated hub.

And like i said: They did win. They had phase 2 Momoshiki on his back in the dirt.
