Anyone else agree that Naruto seemed a little better with Sage mode? I mean with Sage mode, he could take damage a lot easier like when he fell off that giant spike while training and fell like 100 feet into more spikes but wasn't even hurt. Yet he said one punch from Raikage and he would've been out in Kyuubi mode.
Naruto is indeed faster in Kyuubi mode, but it seems like that speed didn't help him at all during the fight against Nagato in the recent chapters. Epic speed or Sage speed, it didn't seem to really matter against Nagato.
Also, WHILE Naruto was in Sage mode during the fight against the 6 paths, he was totally pwning them. He was taking out Nagato's bodies one after another. If he had unlimited Sage mode like Jiraiya, he would've crushed the 6 paths back then. Naruto only got captured and lost because his Sage mode kept running out in the middle of fighting.
We can also look at his fight against the Kyuubi. With a TINY bit of help from Kushina, he was able to completely rape the Kyuubi with Sage mode. He just pummled the Kyuubi with non-stop Giant Rasengans and Rasenshurikens. The Kyuubi was all like "holy shit, how is he this powerful???"
Plus his Frog Katas taijutsu, with this ability, all he has to do is get remotely close to his enemy and the natural energy around him will make contact with his enemy. That seems to be better taijutsu than the Kyuubi mode offers at the moment.
Naruto might be physically faster in his new form, but it seems he is overall weaker in terms of one on one combat. Why train in Sage mode so hard to obtain a mode that's weaker than Sage mode? What do you guys think?
