Sage chakra is just chakra blended with natural energy, Pain was able to absorb Sage chakra just like any chakra but it turned to stone which means Kisame's jutsu should be able to absorb Naruto's chakra just fine without the consequences because its the Jutsu absorbing it not Kisame himself so Naruto's sage chakra will never enter Kisame's body and a water shark Can't turn to stone. I agree that Frog Kata can be troublesome but its only a problem in CQC so after getting hit a couple of times I'm pretty sure Kisame will keep his distance and his long range Arsenal is much better than Naruto's. There's a reason frog kata is C-Rank, That technique is highly dependent on the user's Taijutsu skills and even if they enter CQC Naruto wont be able to take out Kisame in one hit like he did Pain, There's also Samehada so entering CQC with kisame would be a double edge sword, yes, Samehada will probably turn to stone but not before taking enough Chakra to weaken Naruto. If Kisame goes all out from the beginning he would probably use Water Prison Shark Dance Technique (S-rank) and keep chasing Naruto until he drowns anyway. Now that I'm thinking about it I think Itachi and Kisame's team may be too op so its unfair, I should have said Sasuke and Naruto right before the plot armor Six path power up.
