1.Sasuke said he lost because of Narutos persistence not strength as you're desperately trying to take out of context. Sasuke lost because Naruto could still fight and he couldn't. He lost since he couldn't defeat Naruto. He lost since even though he got powered up mid-battle he still couldn't kill Naruto.

Naruto lived. Sasuke's primary goal was to KILL him. Thus, Sasuke lost.

Naruto is stronger. Its canon. Kurama being low on chakra is no excuse he got the other one not the one he had in the first part of the war. It is an excuse. Naruto went into the fight running on empty while Sasuke was nearly fresh. Sasuke then powered up in the fricking MIDDLE OF THE BATTLE since he couldn't kill a exahusted, holding back Naruto. Sasuke had the bijuu power up and six paths while Naruto had 3(kyuubi,bijuu parts,six paths.) Sasuke had the Rinnegan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Six Paths chakra, and finally Biju Chakra for the final fight. Naruto had Yin Kurama, small amounts of Biju Chakra, and Six Paths Chakra. Sorry, Sasuke had more going into the final battle than Naruto did, and was relatively fresh from not fighting in the war as long as Naruto had.

Yet they stalemated each other and the victor won from word of mouth despite both being in the same condition that's some proof of strength you have there.... It'd be a stalemate if both of them passed out, 9 Arts Dragon. It'd be a stalemate if Sasuke had fought a bloodlusted, fresh Naruto instead of a Naruto who was holding back and exhausted.

The final battle made it clear that Naruto was stronger and that he had won the fight. Sasuke himself admits it, and he realizes Naruto was always one step ahead of him.
