>He was out of sage mode because he couldn't maintain it
He was out of sage mode because he had to rely on a clone battery setup instead of having the frogs on his shoulder for fusion which would result in infinite sage mode.

Kyuubi came with handicaps. It's his win. Nobody can tell how infinite sage Naruto would have done against Pain, certainly not you. All we know is that Naruto managed that with Kyuubi and it counts as his win.

>Kyuubi wasn't a handicap for this fight
Read the fucking manga, retard.
