Gaiden Arc isn’t accurately adapted into the Anime, and Base Naruto borrowing Kurama's chakra isn't 6PSM level, not even KM level; so it's still circular.

Base Naruto has feats fighting with 5-Bs (Kinshiki and Base Momo) so there's nothing circular about it. KM is just higher into 5-B and SPSM is even higher.

This isn’t about Naruto being or not 5-B, is that Shin scaling around Naruto is invalid.

that's a Naruto from 6 months later, and we are given plenty of insight into Naruto's life in that era to know he does nothing but his Hokage duties to warrant any significant of strength boost.
Not to mention Naruto's been 5-B since the End of Shippuden.
It would be completely unfounded to assume Naruto's strength has a massive drop-off from that level of power for this arc only and that he not only reaches those levels again in the Momo Arc but surpasses them in his Base form despite him not training.

We know he's rusty, and they are not at their top game. We have the statements from the characters them selves that prove this.
Naruto is unknown in base till the Momo fight. Where he gains it the 5-B rating. Same as Sasuke. They only game the base 5-B from Momo arc.
It's not unfounded. It's why it should be unknown.

Godernet

Rusty doesn't mean massively weaker.
that's not how that works. characters can back scale if there's enough narrative implication/reasoning to put them on that level. which is the case here.
And even then Shin damaged SOSP KCM Naruto who's been 5-B since Shippuden and has only gotten stronger since then so this argument doesn't matter anyways.
yeah no

Here are a couple of people being caught off guard and damaged. AKA the most famous ones. We also have statements from the characters themselves saying they were weakened or not at their peak.
Disagree, as evidenced by the "?!" from Naruto and the scans above. Unless you want to make the claim that they all scale to the people they caught off guard.
How do you scale someone to planet level if they are weaker?
The only time it happened was when Naruto was off guard, though.

None of those people have a chakra cloak constantly protecting them.
That would be like saying Sasuke's Susanoo can be instantly shattered by anyone if he's not paying attention to every attack that hits it.
Naruto shortly before the attack tells Sasuke to remain on guard. With Sasuke telling him to watch the Kids. I doubt he would be completely off guard when there are kids to protect. If anything he wasn't expecting Sasuke's sword to hit him but he was definitely prepared for an enemy.
Because they can be downscaled from Naruto/Sasuke's value. you can be weaker than someone and still in the same tier. We see Naruto's Massive Rasengan oneshot Fused Momo yet they're both 5-B.
And to Sasuke.

All of them are caught off guard though, and they all normally scale to peak versions of the character they fighting. Before a weaker character dabs on them by catching them off guard. Unless you believe that they should scale regardless of outliers and stuff.
Hey that's weird before we were using the official scans but now we using fan translations?
Makes ya think.
Cause they have standards for being 5-B unlike Shin here.
And conveniently we use a different Sasuke's rating for this weakened Sasuke. Doesn't add up scaling wise unless you ignore all logic.

If you want to scale Shin to 5-B that badly just use Sakura punching Kaguya. Since it would be more consistent than using the future ratings from the Momo fight.

Naruto is still saying that they should be careful. Naruto is protecting the children so he still would be wary of attacks that shin might pull. Hes oviously not just in a daze or has his mind wandering.

Those characters are irrelevant because their circumstances are very different from Naruto being constantly shielded by a chakra cloak.
This translation is even worse for you because Sasuke tells Naruto to protect the kids and he responds with "I know. You be careful yourself" meaning Naruto is already well aware that he needs to be on guard to protect the kids before Sasuke even said anything.Hey that's weird before we were using the official scans but now we using fan translations?
Makes ya think.
Both translations use different verbiage to get the same point across anyways so this point of yours is irrelevant.
Teen SOSP Naruto, who is 5-B even at this stage, gets smacked with a Chidori by EoS Sasuke(also 5-B) from an angle he wasn't expecting before he could guard or block and takes no substantial damage.
A stronger Adult SOSP Naruto is on guard already to protect these two kids(one of which is Sasuke's daughter) and is attacked from an angle he wasn't expecting and gets pierced.
Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
Considering you still haven't made a good argument for why Weakened Sasuke can't be 5-B and the majority of staff already disagree I'd say it's pretty logical.

Probably some kind of issue with her earlier feats? To be fair, she did have the confidence to try to jump Madara before, although she only lived on account of regen.

Meh, I mean it's definitely harder to advocate for with her earlier War Arc feats.
Imma definitely need to hear this eventually. I've honestly never seen someone try to make a defense case for 5-B EoS Sakura before.

Just make a CRT for it and when that one passes make another for Shin to scale him off that.
Also, to any mods that agreed to keep the ranking but agreed that the justification is dog water? How do you keep the current ranking when you just agreed that the justification is dog water? Does that not invalidate the ranking you gave the character and is now solely based on feelings instead of facts and evidence presented by the opposing side?

I mean, MAYBE we could argue that Byakugo is an especially high amp for her, considering her willingness to fight Juubidara, her still being up to fight after getting impaled by him, and her punching of Kaguya. That said, doubt that could count.

How is being caught of guard irrelevant to the discussion? It provides proof that characters can wound people they normally can't when they are caught off guard.
Get raws.
As shown in the scans used for caught off guard, Naruto is not caught off guard in the situation you're talking about. So your point here is irrelevant and moot.
So you just admitted he was caught off guard by Sasuke's own sword. Great thanks for playing.
Only if you ignore the facts would it seem straightforward. Like ignoring all instances of being caught off guard and saying a weaker Sasuke is the same as a stronger Sasuke.
I think it's the other way around. Noone here has provided any good reason for why a weaker Sasuke should scale to his stronger self or provided evidence Naruto wasn't caught off guard.
