It was said that he was the strongest in Akatsuki.
It was proven that he wasent the strongest though.
cool story bro when madara strolls into konoha crippled and destroys it all kills most of its people fights naruto with toads and information about his izangi and space time ninjutsu captures him two times and captures the 9 tails then revives thousands of people ill say madara is stronger and dont bring itachi into this
madara can beat nagato and his techs work against him i don't have an agenda and i am not a fan of madara either he is just the strongest character out there not nagato not itachi and not naruto. but u keep saying nagato even though nagato has the same powers plus more powers form his sharingan that make nagato's attacks completely useless and he has got iznaagi which can help him overturn a bad situation into his favor, yet nagato would beat him that is unlikely and idc what the hell u gotta say. all u say he wins against him with no good arguments and just say he is the strongest, unlike u io have no agenda but just pointing out a reasonable choice and u call me an uchiha fanboy for it. when i don't even like madara
ok im going to say this once to you then im going to not quote you right
1.Nagato has 30+ years of experience with the rinnegan
2.Madara isnt a natural rinnegan user
3.Madara said nagato was the strongest in the akasaki before he got nagatos rinnegan emphiasis on nagatos rinnegan
4.Izangi costs you an eye so hes got one shot with it
5.Space time got beaten by nagatos bitch whos much much weaker then him
I cant make it any clearer than that before nagatos rinnegan he was weaker then nagato with nagato rinnegan hes weaker becasuse its nagatos rinnegan it doesnt make sense saying he stronger
