adult Naruto but with really high difficulty.

the point OP is trying to make is Madara can tank any damage, but it isnt true. the man never tanked anything. he got badly hurt everytime. it was only his regenrative powers that helped him survive through it. after being hit by the Lava Rasenshuriken he was almost out of his game and only survived because he absorbed the tree. it tells that he can be damaged and killed.

the fact that Sasuke bisected him with Chidori Sword (or was it a normal one, kind of forgot) tells that he can be damaged bad.

Now, everything Madara can throw at Naruto, Naruto has a counter.

Limbo clones with his clones. Meteors with Rasenshuriken (this time he won't have to worry Sasuke or the others). Katon with Doton (or probably other ninjutsu Naruto has learnt over the years). PS with Kurama Mode.

Madara does have Rinnegan, but we really haven't seen his proper usage of the eyes after being revived. even if we say that he can make good use of it, Naruto is well aware of all the skills. he can counter them all. the fact that Naruto's Earth Wall stood to a shockwave from Momo that bisected the Shinju in half should easily say that he can defend his own against Deva Path. the problamatic is Preta Path, but Madara isnt going to continuously use Preta Path as that isnt his style. even if he does Naruto's taijutsu is now on a whole new level.

The RinneSharingan is really a puzzle. apart from IT we dont whether could even use it for anything else. (and this is my opinion so take it with a grain of salt, but the fact that Sasuke with Rinnegan awakened because Rikudo's CHakra could counter IT, why can't Naruto. the guy has the other half the Rikudo's chakra.)

The thing is in the fight of Naruto and Sasuke vs Madara, neither Sasuke nor Naruto seemed in any way pressured or at the backseat in any moment. it never looked like they could not take on Madara. it was just a statement by the author that he didnt know how to defeat Madara doesnt make the obvious fact that Sasuke and Naruto were countering everything Madara had and giving him a run for his money. so that statement really holds no basis, other than Kishimoto didnt know how to write an end to Madara and not that Madara could not be defeated.
