. The Naruto that saved Guy lacked the coffin seal, chakra cloak, and TSO. Six paths senjutsu is required to enter six paths sage mode. Madara claimed that being a juubi jinchuriki means you are in sage mode, meaning having the TSO and the coffinseal cloak. Now, this claim was refuted on the grounds of mistranslation, but I would like to have that confirmed. The point of this thread is to show that "juubi chakra" or the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is required for naruto to enter SPSM, and hagoromo essentially jump-started naruto's engine and gave him the ability to achieve the mode by using the fragmented tailed beast chakra in his body. Naruto's eyes when he kicks the TSO has the vertical slit (kurama chakra) and horizontal frog slit(frog sage mode). So he was under Sage mode influence and kurama influence, is all I can currently tell you for sure. The OP's theory is that naruto was slowly but surely kneading the apprpriate amount of six paths senjutsu chakra to enter RSM, the same mode that Madara and Obito were said to have achieved. The yellow eyes naruto has when he saves guy could be indicative of only very little ridoku senjutsu leaking out, and once he had enough, he got the full package.
