Sasuke being stronger than Naruto makes no sense, simply because in their final fight, Naruto was missing half of Kurama, low on chakra from the other beasts, and low on TSBs while Sasuke, even though his Rinnegan wasn't fully developed, was still able to supercharge himself on the chakra of the other beasts that he kept in his nine chibaku tenseis and was able to obtain power on Hagoromo's level, which a weakened Naruto, forced to absorb plenty of natural energy in order to equal, was able to match.

If Naruto had both halves of Kurama, wasn't low on chakra from the other beasts, had all TSBs, and then absorbed all of that natural energy, even if Sasuke's Rinnegan was at full power and he supercharged himself on all the beast he would have been destroyed by Naruto, especially considering Naruto didn't bother to get serious until the end of the fight. Currently, Naruto no longer has TSBs, but he has both halves of Kurama (And one half of Kurama > Five Tailed Beasts) and the rest of the beasts (Infinite Tsukuyomi can only be undone by those with Rinnegan and the chakra of all the beasts, and after their fight ended Naruto and Sasuke undid it, proving he still had their chakra). His skills have also improved to a point that he can use Rasenshuriken with one hand in base, use Chakra Enhanced Strength via Kurama (that allowed him to block a moon-splitting attack with one hand and then defeat Toneri with one punch), and even project Kurama outside of his body while still being in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Sage Mode. He also only became Hokage a few years ago, so him becoming so much weaker in terms of skill and ability in a few years that he's weaker than Sasuke (Who's only confirmed improvements have been a stronger Chidori, able to simultaneously absorb chakra and attack, and able to traverse dimensions although it uses up massive amounts of chakra and leaves him unable to use his Rinnegan and MS' powers very well for a while. Also, if you're gonna mention that with Rinnegan he could have mastered hundreds of new jutsu wont matter, since Naruto also possess the ability to do that since Hagoromo gave him the ability to instinctively to understand grasps the nature of chakra and all things.)

Overall, especially after seeing the new Boruto trailer that looks like Naruto is using Wood Release, and after everything I just stated, there is no way Sasuke could possibly be stronger than Naruto unless he obtained some brand new power that we know nothing about. So can we please get back on the topic of the movie now?
