No, it was ultimately "Naruto" who saved the day. They don't credit it to his sage mode, because that's not what he is known for. He's known for being the jinchuriki of the nine tails. No one went to naruto and said, "Oh my god, you're the guy who knows sage mode!" They say, you're the jinchuriki of Kurama, Naruto. I doubt Sayuri, despite her power hungry attitude, would credit naruto's strength to his sage mode. If anything beyond Kurama, it'd be his immense willpower.
