He didn't overpower Kimoshiki, he was nowhere close to overpower him...he got his ass whopped. He was clearly not on his level in base.But unlike the other Kage, he could still react to some degree and stand against him.There is nothing wrong with it.You are under the assumption that without his modes, Naruto can't do nothing. Which is false. Even without his modes, he is Kage level. Even in base, he still has six paths chakra, he is still a reincarnation of Asura, he is still an Uzumaki, and he still has Sage's body.Don't you think it makes sense for him to be naturally more durable? Also, even in base he is pretty fast.As seen, even in base his taijutsu improved a lot over the years.Again, just because Naruto fights mostly in his modes, it doesn't mean he isn't good in his own. Against really strong opponents, it makes sense for him to use stronger modes of himself.
