Here’s how it stacks up if you keep it pure mechanics, not plot-armor:
* Boruto-era Sasuke is still god-tier by Naruto standards — space-time travel, planetary-scale jutsu, and the Rinnegan suite.
* Sukuna, though, sits in a world where cursed energy bends reality itself. His slashes aren’t just physical; they ignore durability and spatial rules.

When you cross universes, the systems don’t line up neatly:
* Chakra techniques have limits tied to stamina and hand-sign execution.
* Cursed techniques rewrite what “damage” even means — Sukuna’s Cleave/Dismantle cut through space and souls, not just bodies.

So, in a straight, no-prep duel, Sukuna’s regeneration and domain coverage give him the attrition edge. Sasuke would burn through chakra before Sukuna runs out of cursed energy.

But if you allow strategy or prep time, Sasuke can flip the table:
* Amenotejikara swaps and Rinnegan portals could counter Sukuna’s domain for a moment.
* Chibaku Tensei or a sealing variation could trap Sukuna if he’s distracted.
* With a fully restored Rinnegan and his old stamina (not post-Momoshiki loss), Sasuke could absolutely seal Sukuna given the right timing.

Bottom line:
* Raw power slug-fest → Sukuna wins.
* Tactical or sealing battle → Sasuke takes it.

It’s less about “stronger character” and more about who sets the rules of the fight first.
