@Arturia

I don't know if he has lost the mode but it appears he has since we don't see any evidence of him having the bijuu chakra, and his cloak is not the same as the one he had in 4SWWW. Naruto still has passive six paths chakra but his SPSM isn't complete.

@LegionZero

And why would he not use the bijuu chakra if he has it?

I know what madara said isn't exactly 1 to 1, but he referred to the coffin-seal and tomoe as a sign of ridoku sagehood. He had a sage transformation and naruto was in sage mode. What proof is there that the cloak comes from the bijuu and not ridoku senjutsu? Naruto didn't even have the ten tails or gedo mazou inside of him yet he has the same symbols. This proves ridoku senjutsu provides the cloak. Juubi chakra inherently provides six paths senjutsu so I don't see how you can distinguish it. You are basically saying that naruto has SPSM two times over, hagoromo gave him a SPSM and then he has SPSM again because he has all the bijuu chakra, but if this was the case then his cloak as an adult should be exactly the same.

Other users are claiming naruto still has all the bijuu chakra and yet his cloak doesn't reflect that.

The problem with the Hagoromo argument is that again, in theory they could have learned it but they also could have simply taken a little juubi chakra. I don't see why not when they are capable of absorbing chakra. If not from the juubi itself but maybe from one of it's attacks and integrated it into their own mental and spiritual energy. Furthermore, why would his cloak be mere "clothes"? Your theory isn't wrong but it isn't necessarily right I believe.
