Actually most power ups Naruto and Sasuke got in the show (after the 2,5 years) were achieved without much training. And because Naruto has much more screentime than Sasuke, you can't waste Sasuke's screentime with showing his training. And Sasuke is smarter than Naruto and with the help of his Sharingan he can learn much faster than Naruto and doesn't need the same amount of training.

Naruto also didn't really needed to train KCM, Bijuu Mode, Sage Bijuu Mode (i mean thechnically to make Sage Bijuu Mode you actually need another balancing of the nature chakra,.....). or the Six Paths Sage Mode, which was a Hagoromo power up, so no training either. And he also doesn't need training to create new Rasengans out of nowhere (for the Fuuton: Rasenshuriken he needed to train, but he could instantly create the 9 Bijuu Rasengan (the lava, magnet, .....))

And so is Sasuke he was training 2,5 years (somewhere in this period of time he learned or invented the Kirin) The curse mark is comparable to Kurama and was given to Sasuke to make him an equal opponent to Naruto in his tailed forms. (and to bring him to Orochimaru ^^). He lost the Curse Mark anyway ^^ He got the MS like every other Uchiha. The EMS was a something like a gift and the Rinnegan with tomoe was his Hagoromo power up.

And honestly Sasuke using the Six Paths Techniques is no real asspull, because nearly everybody expected him to have those (come on has someone really thought that he only got a Rinnegan so he can use a limited teleportation ? like this would be a "real" power up compared to the things Naruto got from Hagoromo ?!!! The definition of an asspull would be Kakashi's perfect Susanoo with wings !!

Another thing, you can't compare having a Sharingan and having a Bijuu inside of you. Sasuke was born with this Kekkei Genkei, like thousand other Uchiha before him and like the Hyuga with their Byuakugan. (I don't know but I think that every 100% Uchiha has a Sharingan) Kurama is nothing Naruto was born with. You could actually only compare the Curse Mark with Kurama.
