Naruto isn't as strong in base as you make him to be in physical prowess.At least not compared with Sasuke.He is more durable and has more stamina than Sasuke, but that's about it. Strength wise they might be around the same level, but for instance there is quite a gap between their speed, reflexes and senses, the later 2 being because of his sharingan. Naruto would need SM to match him in those departaments.But then Naruto would just enhance his other superior abilities even further.

EDIT: Also, i disagree about the rasenshuriken not being able to match Kirin. First of all, there is the whole idea of wind > lighting. Second of all, i think that destruction wise, i don't think that Kirin is that much stronger than the rasenshuriken, not to mention that the gap between them would be closed up by wind>lighting. So even if the rasenshuriken might not be able to stop Kirin, it's variants like the Big Ball Rasenshuriken or in the worst case possible, Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken would most likely get the job done.Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken is actually way too overkill, so i'll stick with Big Ball Rasenshuriken. The fact that Naruto wouldn't be able to create one in time thanks to Kirin's speed is another thing. But if there for the 2 to collide, it could go either way.
