@Vlad, I definitely see where you're coming from, and I agree it's not an unfair powerup in the same vein as Bijuu.

But I was just making the point that it shouldn't be considered his base.

Rasenshuriken can be created using only your own power.

Kekkei Genkai is generally something one is born with, so they use their own power. Not everyone can try to access Sage Mode because there's hardly anyone with the chakra levels required to use it at all.

Now that's a good point with Naruto being born with the large amounts of chakra. But that would be his ability. Sage Mode is taking an outside power source and making it your own because in the end, Nature Energy is an outside power source that only certain people can obtain. Every other Kekkai Genkai Shinobi have the ability within them, but Naruto is using his own natural ability (chakra pool) to gather power from an outside source.

It's not really in the same vein as Bijuu, on this we agree. I was just making the point to show that Sage Mode should not be considered part of Naruto's Base mode
