Naruto actually asked Son Goku if he could borrow some chakra while he was in SPSM to form the Lava Rasenshuriken, if he was already drawing on their power he wouldnt need to ask to borrow any of the tailed beasts chakra

He also asked Kurama for Chakra in that mode.

This is one heck of a conversation. The only real interesting bit I could take from Hagoromo is that Naruto's Six Paths Chakra Mode just may have been building on the Chakra he used to enter Six Paths Sage Mode, instead of being a combination of Six Paths Sage Mode and Kurama Mode.

Though, I'm of the persuasion Six Paths Sage Mode is brought about when Naruto kneads the Chakra of the 9 Tailed Beasts together. If you follow Hagoromo's idea on it, when his eyes solely change it could act just like the Initial state like other Jinchuriki forms and when he has enough he's covered in it like a Chakra shroud.

But just because he's kneaded their Chakra into Six Paths Sage Chakra doesn't mean he can't still use their Chakra individually, hence him asking the Tailed Beasts for aid during his battle with Kaguya and Madara and like when a Tailed Beast's Chakra normally bleeds into their host's Chakra Pool. That also helps me sort Kurama's Chakra modes in my head. If the Chakra Mode used vs Madara and Kaguya wasn't Kurama's own, that makes a bit more sense for me as why the form hasn't acted the same way since the war.

I like the idea... But, this opens the can of worms as to why he hasn't used that Chakra Mode. It COULD be hand waved off as he has enough to enter initial state, or base Six Paths Sage Mode, but not enough of the other tailed beasts' Chakra to enter that form, so he uses Kurama's Chakra Mode.

(Edit) Though it can also be attributed like Kurama's own Kurama Mode, where Naruto needs to Sync his Chakra (Hearts?) with the Tailed Beasts to enter that mode so he cannot when their consciousness has left his own body.
