To be clear, is this Hokage Naruto we're discussing still?

If so, I'm in agreement with AsianReaper. Naruto wins, because even in just Sage Mode, he has a massive advantage over Kisame and the 7 Swordsman.

With his sensory abilities, landing attacks on Naruto, especially if he makes clones to mitigate the number imbalance, will be extremely difficult for them.

The 5 minute time limit (shown only during the Pain fight, no reason he can't maintain it longer now) is mitigated by the fact he has the ability to gather nature energy and charge Sage Mode in just under a a few seconds.

Kisame's Great Shark Bullet Technique is like a one-trick pony, when Naruto figures it out, it's useless in the rest of the fight. He would then close into Taijutsu distance of Kisame, and proceed to fight him in CQC, but with Frog Kumite and the buffs SM grants, along with the fact Naruto can use chakra enhanced strength, overpowers any strength advantage Kisame had.

In terms of speed, if I can use the Boruto manga, he was able to dodge some of Kimoshiki's attacks in base, while the other Kage couldn't even react. He's pretty fast.

I don't believe the other swordsman have displayed the feats to effectively counter any of Naruto's attacks, nor have they shown the speed to react to Naruto's extremely quick and deceptive fighting style.

Yes, the Pain's have dodged the Rasenshuriken, but only because hia preparation of it was rather slow at the time (requiring two other Shadow Clones), and he mostly only threw one at a time, or could throw two, and when using it with the Shadow Shuriken Technique, it's pretty hard to spot the second one. Hokage Naruto could form and throw it rather quickly in combat, with only one hand needed, as seen when even Toneri couldn't just dodge it, he used his TSB to block it in The Last.

If he used anything higher than SM, the 7 Swordsman stand no chance.

Note that during the 4th Shinobi World War, the 3rd Division itself managed to seal all 7 of the reincarnated Swordsman, but only 5 of them had their swords, while the 4th Division could do nothing against the other 4 reincarnated Kage's, and only sealed them from direct intervention from Gaara, Naruto, and Ohnoki. 4th War SM Naruto also beat the 3rd Raikage rather easily once he figured out how his Lightning Cloak works.
