@anon, you do realize that the factors you mentioned, Background, Powers, Strength actually favours Naruto more than Sasuke?

Naruto is the son of the 4th Hokage and a member of the Uzumaki clan, his background is pretty much establish. Power Naruto is born with more chakra than Sasuke. Strength people can argue about Sharingan, but Naruto has Kurama too. So Naruto is never inferior to Sasuke in terms of talent. It's just that he didn't know how to make use of his talent.
