Nagato is an Uzumaki just like Naruto, he has MASSIVE chakra reserves just like Naruto and his chakra is extremely powerful like Naruto's, plus he grew up with the Rinnegan and Mastered it, that is the reason that even while he was still technically crippled he still almost killed Naruto and Bee and he did it swiftly. Nagato was a monster and only plot killing took him out, and when he came back as an Edo, it defeated him. I don't see Sasuke as being a threat like Nagato COULD be, but never will be due to plot and story events.
