ultimately it doesn't matter if he was aware of it or not. the fact is that the chakra alone is supposed to add a level of durability that borders on insanity

its simply a plot devise to show naruto being rusty nothing more another thing all though naruto calls it the kyuubi cloak or now kurama mode its actually not kurama's chakra

naruto absorbs kurama's chakra and transmutes it into his own chakra as such when he is in kyuubi mode we are seeing his chakra when karin talked about naruto's chakra she said it is worm and bright orange.

but with that being said it should still add a specific level of durability to him, when naruto protected hinata from the transformed zetsu his kyuubi cloak was capable of stopping all of there swords with out getting a scratch

and on a side note it shouldn't matter that he had focused his cloak on the kids because its still a chakra aura its no different than supermans bio electric aura it doesn't weak when its spread out further
