@ItachiWasAHero, I see where you're coming from but before Itachi was put under Shisui's Genjutsu from that raven Itachi gave to Naruto a while back Bee and Naruto were kind of holding their own against Nagato and Itachi (though if the fight had continued that way I'm sure they'd have lost to Nagato and Itachi. I definitely think Nagato and Obito are close in terms of power but (and I know it's a terrible reason) 'plot no jutsu' kinda suggests that Obito should be stronger (yh I know it's a terrible reason, but not all reasons are good, please don't kill me) and Naruto did get power-ups after fighting Nagato plus at the time he had active shadow clones in other places which would mean he was weaker due to the Chakra dispersion (as explained numerous times in the series) Out of curiosity what would you rate Nagato?
