It's not like Sakura has been in many fights.

@Lorenzo

You are kidding me right. Almost the whole series, Kurama has been essential for Naruto.

He used it against Haku. He used it to summon Gamabunta. He used it against Neji. He used it against Gaara. He used it against Sasuke in Part I. But, at the time Sasuke used Cursed Mark so it's fine. He used it against Itachi. He used it Deidara. He used it against Orochimaru. He used it against Sasuke again in Part II. Though Sasuke shut that down real quick. He used it against Pain.

And this is just counting manga fights. Include anime and movies and boy oh boy. As for KCM, he fought to achieve it, although with help. Six Paths Sage Mode was handed out and he not only needed Kurama but a small portion of Biju chakra too. It's almost like Naruto has no identity without Kurama.
