That's just plain hardwork not a natural gift. What made him train hard was because he wanted to earn his father's respect. And what sets Sasuke aside from most, he trained for a reason. He trained because he was practically assigned to kill Itachi. THat was his motivation. Naruto didn't have that kind of responsibility. That's why as soon as Jirayia died, he aced that Sage mode training because he had a reason to train. Sasuke is "gifted" because he trained for a purpose and cause. That fuled him and gave his motivation. That's why he's so talented People seem to forget he had knowledge of having fire release so early in his age. Unlike Naruto. Hard work, he and Naruto trained hard. Sasuke had training by Kakashi and Orochimaru and actually gained something. While you know Jiraiya basically stalked women and Naruto basically had to beg him to train him like he did with the rasengan and summoning training. Sasuke was born into one of the strongest clans via their sharingan prowess and what do you know he gets it and earns a boost. Uzumaki are known for fuinjutsu but too bad nobody could teach him it and as for the large amount of chakra well that's okay but overall whether Sasuke could beat Naruto, Naruto's character was downright played that's why I don't care if he has kurama. That's his thing. No matter how you look at it Sasuke has always in a way had things handed to him. I'm not trying to be mean but its true. As for who being stronger. Before Naruto had control over kurama and thus I guess didn't count Sasuke would come out on top even in part 2 but I'm not sure when Naruto gained sage mode. As in the war arc I'll probably give it to Naruto being as much ability wise was shown.
