1. Yes, Minato does not have any move which is powerful enough to compete against naruto's arsenal. Minato relies on his insane speed but the difference will be less than any person that he has ever fought. As long as Naruto has a way to seal Minato, he should be able to win. 2. Yes, Hidan is definitely the weakest member of the akatsuki.Even if he is immortal, chopping his limbs of immobilizes him and therefore naruto wins. Hidan's attacks are also very slow compared to other characters. 3. Hashirama Senju would be a very interesting opponent for Naruto, due to his unique skillset. I believe the characters would be very close to each other and I honestly can't pick one or another to win. 4. We do not know just what techniques and abilities that Hiruzen has but he has not demonstrated anything to me yet to believe that he would be able to defeat Naruto in his current state. for all the hype the Hiruzen has, He has not shown any mind blowing jutsu which justifies his hype. 5. Dan kato does not seem to be anywhere near the league of any of the characters mentioned in this list and would probably be defeated rather easily. 6. Naruto honestly seems stronger right now. I feel as if though that Kishi has recently taken a dumb on Sasuke right now as his power ups pale in comparison to Naruto. Sasuke could still potentially improve as he is still alive and young but naruto seems to slightly edge him out. Perfect Susanoo, and Kirin seem to be Sasuke's best bets in order to defeat Naruto. 7. If Itachi is not suffering from his illness, than I believe that Itachi has a set which counters Naruto very well while also being able to land devastating blows back onto Naruto. His Yata Mirror appears to be able to block anything that Naruto can throw at him. The Sword of totsuka, neutralizes Naruto's healing abilities as one blow will seal Naruto. Even with Naruto's awareness of Itachi's genjutsu, Itachi always finds a way to trap him anyways which would be key in slowing Naruto enough to land a final blow. Naruto does not seem to have any clear methods to counter Itachi's defences compared to characters such as Kabuto who bi-passed this complete defense. 8. Naruto is now very well versed in all the abilities that Nagato has at his disposal, With this knowledge accompanies with his tactical skills I believe that Naruto could devise a plan to stop Nagato. However, Nagato with his human path and the intent to kill Naruto could be a very useful move as he would rip out his soul (did not do this last time due to not wanting to kill Naruto). It would be very close.... 9. I believe that Madara would probably win due to him being nearly unstoppable during his time as the ten-tails jinchuriki. It required nearly all the core characters to be fighting at their best in order to keep in contention with Madara. 10. Obito has the clear advantage as long as he can use his Kamui technique as Naruto would not be able to link dimensions with him unlike Itachi and would only be able to attack in a counter attack which would be difficult with obito's defenses and last ditch izanagi. 11. Naruto would win cause naruto would still outlast Danzo in the fight even with all the sharingan that Danzo possesses. Danzo would struggle even in hurting naruto due to his lack of variety in moves. 12. Current Kakashi is absolutely ridiculous. kakashi's new powers practically make him one of the strongest anime characters of all time. With both kamui eyes in his possession, no one can touch him for a full five minutes. After the five minutes are up, he can either hide behind his perfect susanoo or teleport away to allow his kamui to recharge. Kamui shuriken/chidori/usual, allow Kakashi to bypass any defense and this is an interesting method to beat even god-like characters like Goku or Superman as you can't defend against half your body being teleported away (it isn't direct physical damage). 13. I do not know the extent of the powers that these two characters could have but I believe that the fight would be fun to watch.
