Naruto only had three left at the end of his battle with Kaguya. It would appear, as many of us suspected, Gudōdama cannot be replaced once lost... even though they seemingly can be deactivated in some manner. Maybe they can only be deactivated when they are within the 70m range?
 * He presumably started with ten (even though he was initially shown with nine).
 * He left four as "Six Paths Rods" to restrain Madara's first Limbo clone, leaving him with six.
 * The one he used as a platform for Sasuke was left behind in Kaguya's lava dimension, leaving him with five.
 * He used two to pin down Black Zetsu and later threw those two into the new moon, leaving him with three.

I doubt it can't be replaced once lost, i think it just take some time and Naruto need to concentrate but he don't have enough time now. I'm also wondering if he have to use all 10 or he can use some of them, true that we didn't see that for now, but it's not confirmed, so we'll probably never know ..
