Nearly all of you are saying that he needed the tailed beasts chakra to get on his level. I more think he took the tailed beasts chakra to speed up executing Naruto.

The gedo mazo. One of the rinnegan abilities that is the kryptonite of the tailed beasts. The chakra chains. Dragon steal your soul jutsu. The black rods (Sasuke can spam those himself but we've just never seen him do it). Naruto having to fight vs that and sasuke with the susanoo is trouble. Plus it's bigger than a tailed beast.

On the other hand. Naruto has the shadow clone jutsu at his disposal. To counter specifically all that.
