They weren’t competing for the same thing until the very last arc. They were rivals because they didn’t want to be outdone by the other. Same can be said for Zoro and Sanji.
No it can't. Naruto and sasuke competed in strength and we're close and overlapped all series and had actual fights
Zoro has always been stronger than sanji nor do they compete in strength

So sasuke wasn’t his rival until the end of the fourth great ninja war and throughout the rest of the publication they weren’t?
Yeah because Sasuke never tried to be stronger than Naruto nor he tried to beat him in normal fights. Their competition was to be who was stronger between each other, like Goku's and Vegeta's.
Post automatically merged:

Sasuke and Naruto had 2 stages of rivalry, when they were younger trying to see who was stronger. And when Sasuke wanted to be Hokage. That's it, sharing some gags with someone or having some beef won't make you X's rival. That's why for me, their rivarly was rather meh.

Yes, they are rivals but in terms of sibling rivalry, nothing to do with strength. It is a clash in personality and that's why they always bicker over petty things.

Oda sees the SHs as more of a family, that's why there is no "official vice captain" and that's why Oda listed Zoro and Sanji as 1st and 2nd oldest brothers. Its fitting because despite them always butting heads, Zoro is a brother to Sanji, something Sanji never truly had as we learnt from his flashback.

Both competed to see who is stronger and funnily enough the final fight sasuke when he arrived at the war also said he wanted to be hokage

Goku vegeta
Competed to see who's stronger had actual fights

Deku bakugo
Compete to see who will become number 1 hero have had actual multiple fights

Yuno Asia compete to see who will be wizard King

Zoro and sanji neither compete for the same serious goal nor have had a serious fight
What about Yami and Jack?

Yup, they're rivals.
They fight for everything.
That's what a rival Is.
Rival is to have the same feats, fight agaist one vs one and have the same level(and when one of them is stronger the other tried to surpass him).
Sanji doesn't have the same feats or representation than zoro, he never has fought agaisnt zoro and he never has tried to be stronger than zoro
