Oh I know I'm just generally ripping on Kishimoto's bad habit of using plot no jutsu to level up Naruto e.g. he gets a new mode and/or jutsu whenever the plot demands it. The RasenShuriken and Sage Mode were okay because Naruto had to put in all that work plus they both carried risks and limits...both of those factors disappeared (or dramatically decreased in the seriousness) when it turns out that Naruto is the reincarnation of one of the sons of the sage of six paths.
