@Thekillman Again, I think you're using too much rl logic. I doubt Kishimoto was thinking about all of that when he and his co-workers made Toneri slice the Moon in half. They most likely just did it as a testament to his power, and the Tenseigan is stated to be equal to the Rinnegan in power. However Toneri doesn't just have Tenseigan, he has his TCM which makes him much stronger than usual.

@Uchihamasters Naruto was in a complete TBSM after 2 years of mastering Kurama's full power. He also focused all of his power directly into his hand in order to block Toneri's attack. The susanoo's defense is dependant on it's user and it's stage, so I don't think that statement is really a fair comparison.
