Okay fine. I'll give you that Naruto getting hiy by Momoshiki was due to him being off guard, but most importantly it was base Naruto, who we all no isn't that great. As to subject on Shikamaru. Yes he caught Momoshiki and Kinshiki in his shadow possession. They were in the midst of battling. And Momishiki absorbed that shadow immediately after being caught. I'm quite sure Kinshiki could've broken out it by himself too. Kurotsuchi and Chojuro are both kage. So I'm not surprised they were able to stand up against Kinshiki. They didn't defeat him, but were able to do something, which is what you expect. Again, when Sasuke fought Kinshiki prior to the Chūnin Exams, he was not giving it to him, they were about equal, when it came to taijutsu and raw speed. And you mean to tell me that Sasuke teaming up with Naruto, in a taijutsu fight nonetheless, is able to easily fight Momshiki and Kinshiki merged into one? I don't think so. You can believe whatever you want.
