Why do people keep stating that without kurama he cant make as many clones?With sage-mode, he's probably S-class but I doubt he reaches kage level at all. To take away his precious Kurama would be to take away everything but his sage status. It's been established since the beginning that the only reason he can spam clones is because of Kurama. No clones = no rasengan, much less rasenshuriken.
Plus his sage-mode will only last 15 minutes without his clones. Though, without Kurama Ma and Pa toads could sit on his shoulders similar to Jiraiya. That's the extent of his power though, since literally his only techniques have been the clones and rasengan variants which he would no longer have. I don't care if he is an Uzumaki or not, it has been said the entire time that the nine tails is the only reason he could use clones in the way that he does.

Edit: With the kuubi's chakra suppressed by yammato, naruto was able to do most of his training with his chakra with his own clones
Know that kurama was a burden to him until recently...All those times where kurama had "saved" narutos life was because kurama himself was the limitation for naruto...
I also guide you to the previous page where you see what naruto is capable of without kurama...not against any old ninja...against the fox himself...
Edit: Also to counter the time limit naruto has in sage mode after his clones are gone, he could summon maa and paa...But wait... I hear you say that is cheating!...Ahem, a summon is just like kibas dog...nuff said
