Naruto can't afford to take a chance. That's what this is. He probably could have solved the Nue problem before that thing had a chance to detonate, but he didn't because it was near the village. Same principle applies to this fight - his extendable chakra arms allowed him to provide protection to the two girls that were apparently left in his care.
