You don't know that, as he could have simply been taken out of his Susanoo because he wouldn't be completely defeated, as he was an Edo Tensei.
Amaterasu's range is the databook range of 5 meters, I believe? Sasuke can't leave, or he's forfeiting the battle. The purpose of the smoke bomb for Naruto would be to summon more clones, toads, and set up Frog Song, which would eventually defeat Sasuke. Once Sasuke misses the first Amaterasu, he loses all chances of winning. I'd like to think characters can't run away as they're bloodlusted or have an objective to fulfill, unless stated otherwise in the topic.
Naruto has toads for long range attacks and I doubt Susanoo would fully protect the hawk, along with staying mobile. Actually, Sasuke probably won't ever get on the hawk, or fly away a reasonable distance. Naruto just needs to use the smoke bomb for an instant, and then use his superior Sage Mode speed to begin an offensive. Naruto having his clones disrupted doesn't matter, as he only needs that form of Sage Mode for a moment, and then can hide to gather more natural energy. Toads will fight while he does that and they can also utilize smoke bombs to protect themselves, or simply desummon themselves.
Naruto can sacrifice the body part, has more endurance with Sage Mode, and there's low chance Sasuke would start with Sage Mode and bypass Naruto's need to form a single hand seal. Obito's also shown the ability to sense Amaterasu being used, so Naruto has a bunch of time to summon clone shields, or use a smoke bomb.
Those two little buggers take a huge amount of chakra to summon, he'd probably be using up his sage chakra and have to get more from one of his clones. Their genjutsu takes a bit of time to synchronise, and sasuke can just susanoo slash their way to disrupt them when he starts to feel the preliminary effects. Added to the fact they have to be still to do it makes it dangerous for them to try.
It would be silly to summon large toads. They are just large targets for amaterasu. They pretty much can't dodge. So they'll gain him no time to gather enough chakra.
Obito had rikudou chakra, that's a different scale. He could actually feel sasuke gathering chakra to his right eye. Regular sage mode has shown no such feat. Even sage madara got caught in amaterasu.
Even if naruto gets on an offensive in taijutsu, sasuke can switch on susanoo anytime he wants, so he's in no real danger. Then there's full body chidori, or his 5m chidori arm transformation, he can just tear apart clones.
Then theres kirin.
Naruto will give him somewhat of a fight. But sasuke just has the greater arsenal. This version of naruto just doesn't have the right firepower and sage chakra control to win/battle susanoo. Sasuke would win.
