C'mon, running comes down to leg strength in relation to the rest of your body. Google how to improve running speed, you practice running and do leg workouts... Now apply this logic to anime when rinnegan is a free boost to physical stats. Superhuman strength? dude the legs are on average 2-3 times stronger than the arms, so if his arms are strong enough to bench press more, then his legs are strong enough to leg press more. Logically, it's possible the rinnegan can increase your running speed. Running =/= hopping, but logically an increase in leg strength would increase both, depending on other variables. But the speed at which you can hop isn't necessarily the speed with which you can run I think. So just because naruto can hop faster doesn't mean he can run faster. I don't get the physics of running vs hopping completely, but that was my intuition, unless you can offer a correction.

In both chapters naruto was running, you can see it in the anime too... I don't understand your argument like at all. Naruto was running and then stopped as he threw his rasenshuriken lol. of course he is off balance, he was slowing to a stop. What does balance have to do with putting your foot on the ground? We clearly see him standing on his two feet a few pages later in 595, with the bijuu dama, so what is your point? we know that he can run while using a chakra arm. So is your argument that he can't run while he has a bijuu dama in his chakra arm? Where is the proof for this claim?

@Asianreaper, but if naruto is faster, why did guy need to save him? Obito moved several steps in the time naruto failed to move at all. Either naruto couldn't move or he got speed-blitzed. Or less likely, he knew guy was coming and thus was leading obito into a pincer attack. but that seems like a stretch.
