Naruto was chunin level at the beginning of part 2 in base. Jonin level surly not.The thing that launched Naruto (in terms of power) past jonin and to Kage level was Kurama’s chakra.Unless you are not counting Orochimaru as Kage level (which Naruto completly destroyed).

Beginning of shippuden Sasuke (including his fight with Itachi) was Jonin level, as i would have no problem picturing him keeping up or even beating Kakashi. MS Sasuke as being Kage level is debatable. He did get trashed by each Kage and would’ve died on multiple ocassions, but at the same time he did beat Danzo (without Koto). So at that brief period of Danzo fight, Sasuke was Kage level. I’d take SM Naruto any day over MS Sasuke, even during the pain fight.SM Naruto from the war is overkill. That being said, i’d take EMS Sasuke over 4th war SM Naruto and i would take SM Kabuto over both of them.
