Perhaps true, that was my initial reaction as well. But there are some things about SM that the nine tails chakra mode can't top. For instance SM sensing skills. I don't think that Naruto would've defeated the third raikage without SM. I doubt he could've pulled the hell stab counter with the chakra mode. He also has frog kata, which is impossible to be sensed unless you are in SM as well, so there's that. But yeah, i would go with the chakra cloak as well. Beside the two things SM techniques in mentioned, the chakra mode can do everything SM can, except on a larger scale. Higher speed, identical strength (i would imagine) can spam all of Naruto's ninjutsu (while in SM there is a limit) There is also the presence of chakra arms and the fact that the chakra mode lasts longer than SM. So unless Naruto has some shadow clones prepared, there is trouble there. Not to mention that there are 2 exactly the same mentalities in this battle, so it's only logical i guess for the overall more skilled one to win.
