Damage output is not a good metric for determining power level, especially in Naruto. Also Naruto and Sasuke ended up going head to head with a stronger opponent than Madara. That of course being Kaguya. I can’t give you the scans or an episode number but I am telling you Naruto is confirmed the strongest Hokage ever, even over Hashirama, and Sasuke is his equal. They far surpass anybody in the Shinobi world’s previous and current generation.

This is not just a subjective claim either even if others don’t want to admit it Kishimoto clearly puts Naruto and Sasuke on a different scale. Hell Hashirama was not even as strong as the enhanced Madara he could not do anything against him and that’s another thing you have to remember Kabuto brought back Madara in a state that was even greater than his prime but Naruto and Sasuke by the end still clearly have passed even that. Sasuke has a Rinne Sharingan that is completely unique to him and Naruto becomes a Nexus for the tailed beast and their chakras. They both literally just kept getting power ups to the point where it got a little ridiculous.
