Yes I'd say he certainly is. 3-Tomoe Sasuke afer training with orochimaru has comparable speed to SM Naruto, even able to keep up with Raikage in lighting armor.
Don't forget that Zetsu is working for Tobi to manipulate Sasuke and this is all well and good for Sasuke, who did not watch the fight. But I did, and i saw Naruto in SM almost die multiple times before switching to 6-tails state for most of the fight, and then give the final blow in SM.
Naruto as a whole did beat Pain, but not using just SM, and not alone.
Naruto was hammering Pain and killed his paths multiple times in SM he had the upper hand as soon as they started.
Also saying Naruto used the Kyuubi is favouritism how did Sasuke acquire his ms techniques? he certainly didn't train to get them so its a similar advantage both were given and even so i believe Naruto was stronger at that stage in time.
