KCM Naruto was about as fast as 4th Raikage. Anything less than that is significantly slower.

3rd Raikage had about 8 Tails level durability. 8th Gate Guy gave a 10 Tails jinchuriki a beatdown.

Frog Kata is nowhere near as powerful as its made out to be. Naruto literally used it like, once and never again because its really only good for one surprise attack. The Third Raikage gave Naruto a good run for his money in speed while he was KCM. In fact, didn't he exit KCM in order to use Sage Mode instead to land his attack?

No one is doubting that 8 Gates Guy would decimate almost any version of Naruto. But if Naruto forces Guy to use his 8th Gate, he's forcing Guy to commit suicide for the win. So it'd be a draw.

Naruto used Frog Kata against Pain. And he used it again against the Third Raikage. Frog Kata isn't just Nature Energy extensions. It's the form and the added speed and strength. That, coupled with the enhance reflexes and sensing that Sage Mode grants, makes Naruto pretty formidable.
