See the pigmentation argument is a valid one but the one problem with that stance is that we have seen that being a juubi jinchruki grants one either six paths sage transformation or six paths sage mode. So why would naruto's SPSM suddenly be independent of the bijuu? Then it was argued that SPSM can be achieved without any juubi involvement. this claim hasn't been concretely proved up to now, but I've given it the benefit of the doubt based on the logic that was used to justify it. So let's say that naruto's SPSM doesn't have anything to do with the bijuu chakra, why wouldn't he have truth seeking orbs or the 9 tomoe on his cloak then? If the bijuu are simply one way to achieve ridoku sagehood, why wouldn't the other way (whatever hagoromo did to naruto) give the same markers? Ridoku senjutsu is ridoku senjutsu, is it not? we are basically trying to argue that naruto's RSM is some obscure mode that has a misleading naming convention using this logic.
