Start a topic there (by clicking on "Add topic") if you're that invested. But I suggest you read the previous topics in the two archives first.

Frankly, I've been thinking about it during my free time. What can Naruto do in Six Paths Sage Mode that he can't in base/Sage/Nine-Tails Mode? "Six Paths Sage Mode article"

- With the power he received from Hagoromo, Naruto has the innate ability to grasp the nature of chakra and comprehend all universal things: his sensing ability rises, to the point where he can sense and thus react to the invisible shadows in the world of Limbo.

So the fact that Naruto could sense and therefore dodge Limbo before he donned the cloak would hint at him already being in SPSM. And there's the fact that he could save Guy's life. When I first read it, I thought it was because of the Six Paths Yang Power mark, but the databook says it was Yin–Yang Release, which was given to Naruto by Hagoromo. If I'm not mistaken, the Sage Art: Magnet Release Rasengan page in Jin no Sho says that Naruto could use that technique only after being blessed by Hagoromo. I don't see why it shouldn't be the same for Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken. Either that or we have to think that Naruto got multiple powers from Hagoromo (Six Paths Sage Mode, Yin–Yang Release, pinnacle of sensing ability, using other tailed beasts' skills besides Kurama's), rather than a single power with multiple abilites.

And that's my take on it.
