Luffy’s peak destructive output in Gear 5 is:
* Multi-continental to planetary-surface level, depending on interpretation. (He does NOT have a confirmed planetary-busting feat.)

Naruto’s scaling to Kaguya/ETSO gives:
➡️ Reliable high-planetary AP (10²⁷ J+), significantly above Luffy’s best-calculated destructive force.

Naruto hits objectively harder.

==== Naruto has: ====
* Rasenshuriken throws (city to country scale range)
* Massive bijuu bombs
* Sage chakra blasts
* Chakra-arms that strike at distance
* Shadow clones firing large-scale attacks from every angle

Luffy is mostly mid-to-close range unless stretching.

Naruto can control the entire battlefield more effectively.

==== Naruto has: ====
* Ninjutsu
* Nature energy
* Sealing
* Flight
* Sensory advantage
* Thousands of clones
* Independent chakra constructs
* Healing
* Elemental variation
* Tactical variety

Luffy has less variety; Gear 5 is overwhelmingly physical/haki-based.

==== This is one of Naruto’s deadliest advantages. ====

If Luffy can be immobilized or restrained temporarily (or even distracted by clones), Naruto can seal him with:
* Six Paths sealing
* Shiki Fūjin variants
* Toad Sage sealing
* Adamantine chains (inherited Uzumaki sealing style)

Naruto is one of the strongest seal users in his setting.
Luffy has zero counterplay to sealing.

==== Naruto can levitate/fly in Six Paths mode. ====
Gear 5 Luffy cannot fly (except via running on air with Gear 4 bounce tricks).

Naruto can attack from high altitude + bomb from above.

==== Naruto can: ====
* Summon massive toads
* Use Kurama avatar forms
* Spread clones across miles
* Change the environment

Luffy can change terrain with big punches, but not via strategic control.
