Even if Minato could extend SM Naruto could still be the strongest Sage.

What I thought using your tool is that base naruto with the reaction of 3 will used kyuubi chakra mode to give him the mental/physical ability to react and dodge. that would give him a 4 which is how he dodged Ay. then when he mixes his kyuubi chakra with sage mode. it bumps it up to a 5. find it odd how the reaction enhancement only applies to base users. going by your statement I'm assuming you're implying that kcm naruto reacting to Ay had nothing to do with kcm? if so then base naruto should've been alot more stronger than he was prior.

He's saying that powers aren't multipliers, but set ranges. For instance if two people, one stronger than the other, were to use Sage Mode, they'd both go to the same power level instead of it just being an integral add-on to their previous (which either way is a theory, not set). Regardless, he agrees that Six Paths Sage Mode offers better reaction speed, but not reflexes. I don't know what the difference he's implying is though.

do you think it's multipliers? Maybe i'm wrong, might've seen too much dbz but then this manga has basically turned into one. when naruto was able to mentally react to Ay's fastest attack, if his mental reaction or reflexes whatever wasn't enhanced by KCM then base naruto would've been alot more stronger against previous fights, especially while in sagemode. that's all I'm saying.

maybe in naruto having faster speed compensates reaction timing. idk

It's impossible for me to decide, really. It's very believable that Sage Mode would naturally enhance Kurama Mode, but there's no evidence for any enhancement except being able to utilize Sage chakra and gather it faster. On one hand it could "multiply" Kurama Mode, and on the other it would set at Sage Mode power, which wouldn't matter because his abilities at that point are weaker than Kurama Mode. It's probably too technical a subject to talk about.
