Before final fight with Sasuke, Naruto had half of Kurama (Yin). The two
friends were equally powerful.

After the fight, Naruto received the other half (Yang), as given in manga.

Does this mean Naruto's powers doubled, making him stronger than Sasuke?

Does Naruto has double power than Sasuke after ep 477?


Not necessarily. We could say that this does increase Naruto's powers
drastically in comparison to Sasuke, but there are a few things to consider:

## The second half of Kurama only increases chakra

The important thing here is that by getting the other half of Kurama, Kurama
doesn't necessarily become a stronger tailed beast, he merely gains more
chakra. This is, of course, very drastic, but it does not allow Naruto to
fight any better with Kurama. He can still use the same abilities, and infuse
the same amount of chakra into them, he just has more stamina now.

## Naruto already has massive amounts of chakra

Naruto is an Uzumaki, which is a clan famous for their large chakra reserves.
On top of that, Naruto already had the first half of Kurama which gives him an
overwhelmingly large amount of chakra right off the bat. The addition of the
second half of Kurama will increase by a lot, but not in comparison anymore.
It's like trying to make an already blue flame even hotter. Maybe you can, but
by comparison, the difference is minute since it was already so hot to begin
with.

## Naruto pools his power from sources other than Kurama too

This is pretty simple. Naruto's power never came fully from Kurama to begin
with. While we could say a good deal does, he still had and has various other
abilities that make him an extremely strong shinobi.

## Naruto and Sasuke were not "equal" at their final fight

In fact, Naruto was being severely hindered by two things. The first being
that he had been fighting in this war for much longer than Sasuke, and was
much more tired out. The second thing is that Naruto was unwilling to fight to
his fullest (especially in the beginning) for fear of killing Sasuke, whereas
Sasuke did not hold back. So even if the second half of Kurama did make Naruto
twice as strong as before, it would not make him exactly twice as strong as
Sasuke as they were never on equal ground to begin with.

## Where are their power levels at now?

The simple answer to this is we don't and can't know. We can merely speculate.
As we see in the Scarlet Spring, we know that Naruto's combat instincts have
dulled whereas Sasuke's could have only sharpened. This means that the two
have probably leveled out
