It depends, as far as reaction time goes, he reacted to momo's punch and could sense and then perceive it, in his base form. but momo was already so close he had to use rsm to have the physical speed to block it, for the most part it's RSM feat
His eyes clearly show the cross pattern that proves he was using RSM. So yes that is RSM not BSM
I used to be really conflicted myself because he didn't have his normal skin tone and no tsb, I honestly only call it rsm because there is nothing that says otherwise and the majority of level headed manga/anime fans say it's rsm
Eyes are just a sign of NE control, his body grew stronger as he's older and Hagoromo's chakra gave him a huge boost in physical strength, as a result he can control NE to the point it has minimal side effects on his appearance.
In that case why aren’t they letting him recreate the TSB I thought it could be recreated and Naruto still has the Bijuus chakra. Even during the vote 2 fight he had it the viz scan Sasuke didn’t say Naruto only had little of the Bijuus chakra left he said the amount of Bijuus chakra he had compared to him wasn’t enough to defeat him. Kishi just chooses to introduce something and never bring it out again.
Hagoromo gave him chakra, which granted him Six Path Sage Mode(RSM). The whole Truth Seeking balls came from the combination of all tailed beast chakra, which is Six Path Senjutsu.
Yes, except I'm mentioning the chakra cloak specifically, if he was in "base" form I would've accepted the argument he's using RSM, but the manga made it clear his RSM cloak grants the same visual traits as the JuubiJins.
Hagoromo's chakra granted Naruto the body to mix the chakra of the 9 bijuu with NE. Six Path Senjutsu is the Juubi's power and therefore requires the 9 bijuu.
Where's the proof that base Naruto could've turn around like RSM can to block that punch?
