Fair enough about Guy. I just thought that regardless if he dies or not, he is still the strongest in that state. But 7th Gate isn't anything to sneeze at. The leap between 6th gate and 7th Gate is absurd. 6th Gate could only handle a 30% clone of Kisame. 7th Gate Guy had to hold back in order to avoid accidentally killing a full-power Kisame. I reckon in terms of power, 7th Gate could still make it on the list, but it wouldn't be nearly as high.

Yeah, I'm ignoring Edo Tensei. I don't consider reanimating other people to fight for you a feat of your own strength.

Yeah I can see Rinnegan Obito VS Healthy Nagato going either way. Nagato definitely has the capabilities to beat Obito. All the paths being in a single body gives him such an advantage now, and that was literally his primary weakness as Pain in a versus battle against Obito.

I didn't include the Kage just because, but if I did, I'd wedge Ohnoki between EMS Sasuke and Pain, maybe even equal to Pain. My reasoning is that Ohnoki would have erased Sasuke immediately at the Kage Summit if it weren't for Obito, and I don't think Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would necessarily prevent a similar outcome. I suppose Sasuke could just attack back with Susanoo, so it could go either way.

In terms of Pain, we know Preta path nullifies Dust Release, so that's a problem for Ohnoki, so Nagato would make sure to conserve Preta in order to keep up their defensive core. In terms of what Pain could do to Ohnoki is debatable. Pain could use Chibaku Tensei, but Ohnoki might be able to use Dust Release on the satellite to turn it into nothing, but I don't have anything to back that up except Ohnoki using a big dust release on Madara's wooden forest jutsu. On the other hand, Pain could use Chaotic Shinra Tensei, and Dust release couldn't turn an intangible wave of force into nothing, so his only option is to quickly fly. And that is assuming Pain doesn't trap him with Bansho Tenin, Asura Path's metal wires (Dust Release appears to require the use of hands), or with animal summons, like the chameleon's tongue. And let's not forget the Human path ripping out his soul as well.
