That doesn't mean he's not that durable. He has been shown to tank things like that, just because it hasn't been repeated over and over again doesn't mean his durability suddenly disappears. As far as the manga is concerned, naruto in sage mode is durable enough to tank falling dozens of meters onto stalagmites without significant damage. He was also durable enough to shatter pains rinnegan rods.

I don't recall preta path hurting naruto. If you're talking about this moment, I don't see any signs of naruto being hurt so bad that it undermines his previous feat of tanking a fall into stalagmites. Not to mention, it wasn't just the force of preta's punch alone, it was also the momentum created from the bansho tenin added to the punch that hit naruto and he didn't even flinch enough for us to consider that he was hurt. In fact naruto himself goes on to say that he wasn't even hurt

Naruto's clones can. When they were looking for itachi and sasuke, he spread his clones throughout the area to look for them. If thats not enough for you, he was able to leave his clones in mt myoboku while he teleported to konoha without having the clones disappear so yes the clones can travel far enough from the battle field to avoid interference.

He might be worried but he won't get a chance to do anything considering he has a naruto in sage mode in front of him to deal with along with 2 other clones who are also in sage mode. If he was able to use this technique against rinnegan sasuke, I don't see why it wouldn't work against anyone else. And naruto starting in sage mode is not up to me to decide, since the OP said "sage mode naruto vs danzo" I'm assuming naruto starts in sage mode.

Rachin123 wrote: That is just not true. Even Sasuke was surprised to see he was alive. So Naruto apparently won't let his guard down, but Sasuke could

Thats because sasuke thought he killed danzo so he was surprised to see him come back thats why he let his guard down. Unlike sasuke, naruto wouldn't be going for the kill because its out of character, he would most probably land a punch and danzo would be knocked back, disappearing in the process so I don't see why naruto would let his guard down when he sees danzo disappearing. Also I'm not saying naruto wouldn't be surprised, I'm saying he won't let his guard down. The moment danzo reappears frog kata would kick in allowing his to evade danzo's hit.

Rachin123 wrote: Also, if Naruto had such superior speed, he should easily been able to deal with the Pains much better than he did. Other than that surprise attack he did against the Asura Path, he has no speed feats.

He did dominate the pains when it came to taijutsu and speed. I'm not saying he's some speed demon but he was significantly faster than the pains: Deva who was just briefly exchanging fists with naruto couldn't even keep up with sage mode. Not to mention naruto in sage mode was able to counter the 3rd raikage.

Rachin123 wrote: Yea I don't think so. While clearly Naruto will win in taijutsu, I disagree with him forcing him too use up all his eyes with just that alone. And I'm quite sure with all of his experience that, Danzo knows about Sage Mode.

You say you disagree but don't provide any points to refute my own. Taijutsu, speed, enhanced senses, strength, and rasengans are all naruto has in sage mode and I don't see how danzo could survive long enough against all that considering his limited use of izanagi. Also, just because he might know about sage mode, doesn't mean he will magically gain the tools to overcome it considering the only weakness it has is covered by naruto's clones gathering natural energy for him.
