Without Kurama, there is literally no way Naruto would be stronger than Rinnegan Sasuke. Naruto being shunned by the village played a major part on how he developed, and I doubt that without this factor, Naruto would ever be as strong as he is now.

Sasuke wouldn't ever have left the village, as his only reason in doing so was with his encounter with Itachi, when they were after the Nine-Tails. Both of their goals and desires lead them into becoming strong, without this, I Imagine they still would be, but not to the extent they are right now.

If Naruto never became his Jinchuuriki, Madara's plan would have certainly been successful, and Kaguya would have won.

So it's rather unfair to pit this version of Naruto against this Sasuke, as he would somehow have to be nerfed as well. You know, because this version most likely doesn't have all the body enhancements from Orochimaru and most likely wouldn't have the EMS, or even MS. Probably just the Rinnegan.

Base SPSM Naruto vs Base Sharingan + Rinnegan Sasuke makes more sense, as we know Hagoromo would have probably gave them these powers anyway in an effort to stop Madara. I seriously doubt these two versions would even fight.
