The circumstances let naruto hit him and it didn´t kill him in a weakened state where he was trying to escape with information he had.
Kisame didn´t die by a v2 lariat, he didn´t die by 7th gate afternoon tiger and a 7th gate full punch to the gut, he didn´t die by kyuubi mode naruto landing a fast and powerful punch while he was in a weak state and samehada being against him.
How do you think naruto will beat him at full power with samehada?
His thousand-ways-of doing-rasengan won´t work on kisame, kyuubi mode will just end up getting absorbed and i´m most likely sure that he won´t be able to use km and use sm instead which kisame will be able to deal with quickly.
He just needs to stay out of his taijutsu when he goes sage-mode but otherwise, he´s no threat, naruto is too one-dimensional for someone like kisame, he can blast his sage-mode with all his crazy water-style jutsus.
