I would not say he is stronger by much at all, but is indeed more skilled than when he fought her. He also has better healing abilities now thanks to the Hashirama arm. BUT it still equates to jack shit against her. It took the entirety of team 7 plus Obito's help to actually beat her. Black Zetsu only warned her about things she didn't know about, the rest was her own doing. She has been gone for so long that of course she needed Black Zetsu to loop her into it all. Consider the fact she already fought Naruto and the others before and it becomes clear she will NOT need Black Zetsu to win. She is something entirely above the rest in the Narutoverse as of yet.. MomoKinshiki was strong sure.. but he was still beat by a giant rasengan once his rinnegan ability was damaged.. so yeah....
