• Uchiha Sasuke undergoes time skip training

• When both become adults, they are equal.

After the Fourth Ninja War, fans could easily see that Naruto Uzumaki surpassed Sasuke and was much stronger. In fact, Naruto's performance in the war was much better, and the consensus was that he was stronger. This was evident in the final fight between the two. Sasuke had to rely on the power of his tailed beasts to match Naruto's own power, but he still couldn't win the battle. Additionally, although Naruto had been involved in the war for much longer than Sasuke, he performed fantastically against him and ended up facing him in battle. After the war, the situation became more complicated as Sasuke lost one of his hands in battle due to a disability that left him somewhat weakened.

Meanwhile, Naruto gained a new arm, but his main power was not limited to his other arm. In fact, he also obtained the other half of Kurama sealed outside of his body during his battle with Sasuke. Ban Kurama is a major power buff for him, and fans have clearly seen that he has now reached a much higher level of power. This did not bode well for Sasuke as he was nowhere near Naruto's power level. However, the statement from the Boruto era essentially confirms that both were equal in terms of power during this period. This means that during his gap year, Sasuke trained his body and mind so hard that, despite his disability, he was able to become the Seventh Hokage's equal for good.

At the beginning of Boruto, Naruto and Sasuke are equal in strength, and this is confirmed by the author himself. However, the same cannot be said for the story moving forward. Sasuke in particular has had his ups and downs in terms of power levels, which is very evident during his main battle with Isshiki.

Baryon Mode and What It Means for Sasuke

Naruto gains Baryon Mode and reaches new heights.

Naruto and Sasuke started the Boruto series as equals, something Kishimoto himself confirmed, but this parity was not maintained until the end. During the battle with Jigen, both Naruto and Sasuke were humiliated, and while Naruto Uzumaki was sealed, Sasuke successfully won. Thanks to Team 7, Naruto was safely rescued, and after that, a battle with Otsutsuki Isshiki broke out with none other than Koji. This was an incredibly exciting fight with Naruto and Sasuke being outmatched from the start. Isshiki's power proved to be too great for either of them to face, until Naruto harnessed the power of Baryon Mode. Once Naruto utilized Baryon Mode, it was essentially impossible for Isshiki to take any action against him.

As Sasuke himself confirmed, Naruto was far superior to him, which also meant that Sasuke was also far inferior to the Seventh Hokage by this time. The battle ended with Naruto having the upper hand, with Kawaki essentially delivering the final blow to Isshiki. But for Naruto this was a great loss. Because it means he has now completely lost access to Kurama. Meanwhile, Sasuke lost his Rinnegan and both were now without their biggest power-up.

At this point, it could be argued that Naruto and Sasuke are somewhat equal. However, Sasuke still has a huge advantage over Naruto, given that he still has access to one of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. This essentially meant that he could still use the powers of Amaterasu, Flame Control, Genjutsu, and even his Full Body Susanoo. Meanwhile, Naruto only had access to Sage Mode, which obviously wasn't up to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

It can be said that after losing Kurama, Sasuke was stronger than Naruto in many ways. But the difference in power was not that big. Anyway, by this point the writers of the story will have found a way to make Naruto as strong as Sasuke. But what came next essentially confirmed that Uchiha Sasuke had completely surpassed Naruto Uzumaki, and that the Seventh Hokage would have to catch up once he later left the Daikokuten dimension.
