Oh yes it did. If Naruto was as powerful as he was, he could have smacked the TBB into the air or could have tanked it and never been knocked out, but at last he didn't and he was. A question I'd like to point out is why didn't Sasuke absorb the TBB. He does have the Preta Path's ability. I would bet he'd win over Naruto any day.

Remember when naruto deflected 4 bijuu bombs the first time he linked with kurama with pure strength and speed alone? Now that he has six paths sage mode with full kurama, why do you think he can't repeat the same feat to a TBB thats twice the strength of the 8 tails' version. The main reason why that didn't happen was because of plot, the writers did not intend for the battle to end in konoha, there was still more to the story thats why they needed a plot device to extend the movie.

Even if you don't agree to that, I don't see what naruto's inability to tank it has anything to do with this discussion, Momoshiki died from a much weaker technique. If the village was not there, naruto fires a more powerful jutsu at it, simple.

Sasuke didn't absorb it because of either plot or the rinnegan has an absorption limit. Madara didn't absorb the lava style rasenshuriken either and kaguya didn't absorb the tailed beast rasenshuriken.
