Also, tbh i don't see why Madara can't use Preta Path or Shinra Tensei etc as back up just in case. He may not have the mastery that Nagato has, but even then we have seen him use the Preta Path before as well as Chibaku Tensei. So naruto's ninjutsu should be irrelevant. Naruto is creative but I highly doubt Madara is falling for Transformation Jutsu the way Kaguya did. His Sage Mode taijutsu thought would be tough but Madara also Hashi Sage Mode plus Ridoku Sage Mode, so ultimately I feel like Madara takes this due to comparable base stats but superior experience.
