@Ultimadude

Except @LegionZero has claimed multiple times now that hagoromo learned how to use six paths senjutsu chakra without the help of the juubi. That same hagoromo later gave naruto SPSM. So bijuu or not, naruto should still have tomoe on his KCM cloak. There are too many inconsistencies in this thread. Some users claiming naruto still has the bijuu, which doesn't make sense because his cloak clearly doesn't reflect that. So, moving on, let's say he doesn't have the bijuu anymore. Naruto was still stated to have been a juubi jinchuriki in the novel. Being a juubi jinchuriki automatically grants you SPSM or six paths sage transformation. Same difference- you get truth seekers and the tomoe/cloak. My theory is that hagoromo simply gave him the key to using the 9 bijuu inside of him for ridoku senjutsu. So yes, naruto was in RSM when he saved Guy, the mode simply wasn't complete. Or you can say that the cloak is optional. Either way, when he manifests his cloak using SPSM it is clear that he is using SPSM because his eyes become yellow and he has the coffin seal and tomoe, which are indicative of ridoku senjutsu. The claim that hokage naruto simply uses SPSM +KCM doesn't hold up, because by your own logic war-arc naruto was using SPSM + KCM and yet he had the proper indicators of RSM.

TL:DR, the bijuu argument is irrelevant because bijuu or not he should still have the same cloak because ridoku senjutsu is what modifies his KCM cloak to get the tomoe, just like it did to madara, hagoromo, etc.
