Naruto also had help with fighting the Third Raikage and prior intel. Also, unlike Naruto, Kinshiki doesn't have the sensory abilities and enhanced reflexes that Naruto in Sage Mode does. The Third also only lost because of being harmed by his own power. Not even the Rasenshuriken did much despite it having the elemental advantage. Kinshiki is mainly a close combatant and that is not going to do much good against the The Third. Kinshiki could use his chakra weapons. The only thing that would remotely do something would be his chakra sword, but that wouldn't deal heavy damage. Him making chakra claws that smashed the ground, creating a shockwave that nearly collapsed the arena could maybe do some damage. But, that would only be useful if he's around an enclosed area, as the shockwave caused by the impact didn't even harm Boruto or Sarada. Also, the Third is a close combat fighter and although he has not shown a high level of taijutsu, his enhanced speed and reflexes can help him counterattack better and his durability gives him an edge. I'm not convinced that Kinshiki's chakra sword that sliced the Shinju would even do much damage if he's hit directly.
