Then I thought about it and I remember when Naruto came and confronted Madara he was in sage mode but no pigmentation or chakra cloak. That was the initial Six Paths Sage Mode. Just like their is an initial jinchuriki mode and initial chakra mode. I doubt he mastered the stages that quick if their stages to it. My theory his new sage mode is different than his newly obtained cloak mode towards the end of the manga. But does it really matter considering 1/2 of Kurama fought 1-7 tailed beast and was owning them. Now that he has both halfs it's safe to assume he is just as strong as he was during the war, if not even more.

It was 1/2 kurama and 8 tails vs 2-7 tails, the only part that kurama solo'ed was there combined tailed beast ball vs kurama's charged tailed beast ball (Kurama and Gyuki have the ability to charge there tailed beast balls unlike the rest). The rest 1 tails wasnt involved in this fight was 1, 6 paths of pain techquie is only 6, 2 because they didnt have gaara to reincarnate since he is alive, 3 1 tails is also the lowest number of tails so it would be more effective in the techquie to use the higher numbers rather then the lowest.
