Regardless, Naruto didn't really exert any actual power apart from entering the mode. Now that Kurama cooperates with Naruto, their chakra reserves are basically connected. Naruto can tap into that chakra anytime he wants. Even in base, he can use that chakra, making "base" a rather artificial distinction. He can tap into the chakra to make a cloak, which seems to use SPSM standard. He can enter Sage Mode separately.
