very true
Overall, yes. Naruto is overall stronger than Nagato but this is more about match ups. I still think SM Naruto stands a better chance against Nagato. This new Naruto has advantages that SM Naruto didn't have. If Nagato uses Deva Path, I think that BM Naruto would overcome it with sheer power of the fox. The bad thing though, is that the weakness that BM has that SM doesn't, is that it seems to be purely chakra based. BM is currently vulnerable to Preta Path.
If BM Naruto tries to blitz him, it will probably have the same outcome Bee had in V2. BM Naruto would have to stay and attack at a distance. So far, his longranged chakra based attacks would still be absorbed by Preta Path and yes, I do believe that his TBB would be absorbed as well since it's pure chakra.
Not many people have chakra absorbing techniques so TBB is still regarded as an extremely dangerous technique to use against other shinobi (though i'm not sure if it would overcome Itachi's Yata mirror. I don't take statements literal anymore. Pain's shinra tensei is supposed to repel everything and yet, 6 tails Naruto was able to overcome it. So for all I know, Itachi's Yata Mirror might not be as invincible as I thought.)
Naruto previously stated that Nagato's techniques were on a different level than when he uses them by the 6 paths so I can't really draw any real conclusions but I currently believe that KM wouldn't be able to do much against Nagato's Deva Path but BM would be able to overcome it. The 8 tails managed to break out of CT when it was used on him so since now Naruto has full cooperation with the 9 tails. Together, they should be able to overcome it.
Against SM, Deva Path seemed to be the main problem. Against BM, Preta Path poses to be the main problem but if Naruto could create SM clones while he's in BM, or if he could mix the two modes, then he should be able to defeat Nagato since those two modes together would overcome Naruto's mode's previous weaknesses when they're used alone.
