This is a late post from March 2008 Shonen Jump

SJ = Shonen Jump
MK = Masashi Kishimoto

SJ: There's many rumours regarding Madara being the absolute final villain. Is this true?

MK: Madara being the final villain is yet to be seen and I can't let that information out just yet. But he will play a big part as a villain, that's for sure.

SJ: Now that it's officially known that Yondaime is Naruto's father, will you show more of Minato?

MK: Yes, definitly. I actually wanted to reveal more about Yondaime earlier, but other characters were in development and some fights still had to be dealt with.

SJ: While we're at it... could you please tell us if Minato was the strongest shinobi that ever lived?

MK: Hmmm, it's a tricky question. As far as dead shinobis goes, then yes, he's the strongest. I'd say that Sandaime shares the number one spot with him. As far as living shinobis goes... well, without going into many details I'd have to say no. There's a couple of shinobis whose stronger than him.

SJ: Now that Itachi seems to be dead, what is Kisame going to do now?

MK: Kisame has always come off as a sidevillain whose only purpose is to travel along Itachi. But to my surprise, Kisame has gone from an unpopular character to someone whose more popular than Deidara after the Gai-fight. I won't say too much, but Kisame is a character that wont die anytime soon. I will definitly develop on his character more and possibly make him...

SJ: Make him what?

MK: It's a surprise.

I hate people with secret"Kishi"

Well...if it is real, that settles the Minato VS Itachi issue, as Kishi would've said himself Minato is the strongest dead shinobi, and Itachi is now counted amoung them.

Minato can't possibly be stronger than Sandaime.
1. Sandaime beat madara several times. and when they duelled at the valley of the end. Sandaime "killed" Madara.
2. Yondaime did not manage to beat Madara. Not even the Kyubi alone. Which Sandaime took care of.
3. If Yondaime couldn't beat madara and Sandaime did. Then yondaime is not the strongest dead shinobi.
4. Sandaime was known as the strongest of them all. Even Madara states that when talking to sasuke.
