@Naruto Tailed Beast Mode

Actually no it doesn’t, I think you are confusing complacency with being rusty naruto and sasuke faced planetary destruction level foes, Shin even though a dangerous foe posed no where near the threat that the ootsutsuki did, as was evident by naruto’s nonchalant behavior towards him which was in direct contrast to how he approached Momoshiki. It had nothing to with rust.

And in an effort not to stray from the point being discussed, I rewatched the episode where naruto stopped the train and he did indeed fly.

He passed boruto and co. horizontally on the outside of the tracks and when he passed the villain who happened to be standing, only a narrow stream of yellow light was seen at a level between the bandit’s head and shoulder at 180 degrees. He flew to stop that train.
