This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Naruto Uzumaki is known to be one of the most powerful characters in the world of ninja, even in the Boruto era. Having risen to greatness without much talent, fans know very well of the struggles that Naruto had to go through in his life to reach the level he is at by adulthood.
Boruto: Naruto Uzumaki Could Gain 1 New Kekkei Genkai After Return In Boruto According To Kishimoto
Naruto Uzumaki lost some of his powers, but he might gain a new Kekkei Genkai when he returns in Boruto.
Naruto became the Seventh Hokage of Konoha and also went on to save the world during the Fourth Great Ninja War. While Naruto certainly did achieve greatness, he didn't do it on his own. Naruto Uzumaki was always driven by Sasuke Uchiha, and the two have always competed with each other, even into adulthood. This rivalry remains to be one of the very best in the Boruto anime, and while they were equal at one point, it has now officially been confirmed by Kishimoto that Sasuke is stronger at the moment.

- He Became Strong Enough To Injure Code
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were always incredibly close in terms of power. When the Fourth Great Ninja War ended, Naruto Uzumaki was the stronger of the two, and fans knew that very well. This was especially the case after Naruto received the second half of Kurama and a prosthetic arm made from Hashirama Cells, while Sasuke lost an arm. However, Kishimoto himself confirmed that by adulthood, Naruto and Sasuke were equals.
Naruto, don't forget, we're not the same as before now. — Sasuke to Naruto
In the Boruto era, things changed greatly. The power balance shifted drastically when it was officially revealed that Naruto lost the power of Kurama. After using Baryon Mode, Naruto Uzumaki lost his biggest power. To balance things out, Kishimoto had Sasuke lose the Rinnegan, but it isn't the same level of loss.
For one, Sasuke Uchiha still holds on to his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, which means that he should still be able to use the powers of Complete Body Susanoo, among others. Naruto, on the other hand, only had Sage Mode.
I am the only one that Konoha needs to hate. — Sasuke Uchiha
Boruto: Kishimoto Confirms Naruto's Comeback Is Closer Than Ever
Naruto is returning soon, as Kishimoto has already confirmed in Boruto.
At this point, it's already a given that Sasuke is stronger than Naruto, but there's more. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Kishimoto officially confirms that Sasuke and Boruto were training during the timeskip. Both of them got stronger during the timeskip, and Sasuke even fought Code. Shockingly enough, in this fight, Sasuke actually managed to take Code's eye. This was the same Code said to be stronger than even Jigen, and Sasuke, without his Rinnegan, put up a fight.
Naruto Will Catch Up To Sasuke In The Future
For Now, Naruto Uzumaki Remains Sealed
Right now in Boruto, it is quite clear to see that Sasuke Uchiha is stronger than Naruto Uzumaki. However, this difference in power won't remain. When Naruto returns, he will most likely get even stronger, which means that no matter what, Naruto and Sasuke will always be equal in power. Fans can only hope that Boruto does justice to these two legends from Naruto and treats them with the care they deserve.
