Naruto needed Sage Mode and his training at the Waterfall of Truth in order to battle Kurama (although he also needed help from Kushina).
Naruto trained to master the Bijuudama. While Kurama could probably have just used the technique himself after they became friends, the training allowed Naruto to perform the technique at a higher level on his own (i.e, Mini-Bijuudama, or Sage Art Bijuudama).
Naruto is an expert at controlling different types of chakra, and this has become critical towards his overall power (Combining Sage Mode and Bijuu Mode; Converting Kurama's chakra to his own and then sharing it with other Shinobi).
In the end, a theme of Naruto is that one's "power" can also be measured in the bonds they form; Naruto earned his friendships, and thus to that extent earned his bond with Kurama.
