Also I don't want to start this "gifted powers" argument, but I'm gonna do so anyway... in my opinion, Naruto Tailed Beasts' powers aren't truly Naruto's. Of course one could argue that EMS isn't Sasuke's either. But when we take out all their gifted powers, MS Sasuke is much stronger than Sage Mode (Kurama-less) Naruto imo, like totally.

Naruto is just a lucky brat who was lent more power than his low intelligence can make good use of.

another thing you got wrong. it takes skill to use the tailed beast chakra. not just anyone could use said powers. it takes someone who already has OP chakra to control the tailed beast chakra. thats why the uzumaki are well suited to be jinchuuriki. more over his tailed beast mode he has right now is in fact his own power its something he learned how to do. also i am sorry but MS is nothing compared to sage mode. Naruto sage mode is stronger than Jiraiya according to Nagato if Jiraiya had known the secrets of the six paths he would have defeated Nagato. MS sasuke was great but not good enough to over power sage mode Naruto. when Naruto and sasuke went up against each other after sasuke had the EMS and after he killed Danzo they were on equal terms and that was only because sasuke had EMS

also i would like to point out that Naruto is not actually stupid. he has shown on many occasions that he is smarter than almost everyone on the show including Shikamaru he may not be book smart but he sure as hell is street smart. and he may not be able to figure out and plot something 100 moves a head but he can instantaneously figure out a persons weakness which is something not even shikamaru can do

Naruto said after he met Sasuke in the Land of Iron, Naruto knew he couldn't battle Sasuke at that time because he would lose. And he kept his ground after he fought Danzo and Kakashi and was still able to take on Naruto. And in the war, while Naruto was busy crying, Sasuke attacked the God Tree which got Naruto ready to fight again. Naruto is a great analyzer, but he's not as quick thinking as Sasuke. And Naruto would have been defeated if it weren't for Kurama and his Dad. Nagato would have given him a run for his money. MS Sasuke and Sage Naruto are equal. EMS Sasuke and Naruto in biju mode is equal. No more no less. And I don't think its proper to say that Naruto is better then finding out weaknesses then Shikamaru. I bet if Naruto was to fight hidan then he would never figure it out. Naruto just gets lucky.
