The reason naruto dodge it it was becouse of the power of MAtatabi same as yugito ability to dodge. That was why

that's what the chapter says but how? No one knows. Naruto himself was confused so how did he dodged it?

It's a focussed Shinra Tensei. The user focuses his eye on a certain point and the attack emerges out from that point and throws everything away from it.

This can be seen clearly when Madara used it against the Bijuus.

You can say that Madara focused the attack a little above three tails due to which others were thrown away but the three tails was grounded.

So then why in ur picture post you say if he dodge limbo he would be far away from that place if madra only foucsed it to hit naruto an nothing else..that's why he only had to move a little to the left to dodge it.

Naruto just cut down the tree with a single rasengan. I think it's at least plausible Sasuke did something to nullify the effect. Maybe Naruto did dodge it but I doubt he'd question something he would have to actively think of doing.

Even if the focus is dodged the effect would still throw a person away similar to how the RH was focused in the air but threw every Bijuus away.
That's why even if Naruto actually dodged the focus of attack then also he should have been thrown away due to the effect. But he was still standing right there where he was while punching Madara.
And IMO, the attack just passed through him without affecting him. He only felt the heavy wind and that's why he seemed confused about it when he was expecting an attack from Madara against his RS.
