Indeed it is and I completely missed that. I read it as just "They both fought Pain in Sage Mode".

My mistake.

In that case I would still edge it out to Naruto, once again by virtue of having the more complete form and thus wouldn't need to stay in form for long as he just has to get close enough to swing a punch or better yet, hit him with a Rasenshuriken.
