Wow, the intelligence in this one argument is really apparent... I would like to point out you didn't provide any argument to why I was wrong at all. Right after the fight between Toneri and Naruto he used the same technique after being connected from the Otsutsuki eyes that powered the weapon, and he had no dojutsu at that point, that leads me to believe that it was not his own ability, it was from his connection to the weapon like his puppets. And that's the point of a plot device it gives the antagonist something the protagonist cannot counter in order to seem like an actual threat. It's because Naruto has become so damned powerful that Kishimoto would have to revive Madara or Kaguya again to provide a challenge.

true it is a plot device, but it is still an ability/a technique in its own right.
