I mean, if we are talking about the Sanin at their peak, post-SM Naruto surpassed Jiraiya (who probably died at his peak). Post-4th war Sakura probably surpassed Tsunade (debatable). In Sasuke`s case it`s a little bit tricky, because regardless of what you are saying, Orochimaru was weakened as hell when he got defeated by him. And to say that Sasuke also got into a weakened stated is ridiculous. That was Orochimaru`s doing.Of course everybody would try to take his enemy into a weakened state or whatever. Sasuke himself stated that Orochimaru was very weakened to begin with, so there is no debate here. Even the Orochimaru who fought 4-tails Naruto was a hell, a hell much stronger. Sasuke was surly not beating that imo. Sasuke surpassed Orochimaru for a while when he mastered his MS, but then got blind and surpassed Orochimaru for good when he obtained EMS.
