@Mario. "Kurama gives Naruto most of his important abilities. Minato tweaked naruto's seal so that a little amount of kurama's chakra constantly leaked into naruto,as a result Naruto always had more chakra more than he would have if he wasn't a jinchuriki. No kurama no insane chakra capacity, no continuous sage mode, no healing factor, no chakra cloak, no enhanced physicals."

I think Sage mode would still give him that healing factor like hashirama. I agree with no insane chakra but as an Uzumaki his chakra would still be quite large. Overtime like hashirama his Sage mode would cement itself as something easy and natural. Sage mode would give him that enhanced physical prowess.

"With just sosp mode, he could not go up against six path characters, as he doesn't have the damage output to take down susanoo, wood golem, otsusuki's etc."

And he'd still have an avatar in his no kurama SPSM. It'd be like asura's. That could take on the wood golem etc. He'd still have speed, he'd still have enhanced strength. He'd still have chakra extension arms. Plus as we argued nature affinities (and probably kekkei genkai). And the rasengan and rasenshuriken and his various modifications in using them. The shadow clone jutsu. Still would be able to levitate (as a teen)......... The only thing he wouldn't have really is tailed beast techs. That's about it really. He'd still be powerful.

"Plus if he didn't have kurama, he would have died multiple times throughout the series."

I admit. But we did argue that he'd be more skilled. So vs Haku? he'd probably find a way. The chunin exams? He'd have more skill. His training with jiraiya in part 1? I doubt jiraiya would have to throw him into an abyss. Vs neji? he'd have better choreography and still good, cunning tactic. Vs Gaara? I can't really predict. his kunai paper bomb 1000 years of death was super inventive though. Vs Kabuto? Kabuto wouldn't see Naruto as a talentless Shinobi. etc. Don't really know if I'm over exaggerating but I can see a no kurama Naruto being a no sharingan Uzumaki Shisui.
