Why? Because all evidence has pointed to Nagato being the strongest in the series. I'm not usually the kind of Naruto fan who goes around and debate power levels but honestly, Nagato or Pain or whatever you want to call him has been the strongest in the series so far.
I mean, just look at what he could do all by himself. It's absurd. Even AFTER destroying the entire village and battling Naruto with eight tails, he had enough power to almost control Naruto using his chakra alone AND then revive everyone he had killed.
While Madara is a beast, I doubt he could've done that by himself without some DNA stealing and being an EDO.
And I don't even like Nagato. I think he's just a whiny psychopath with a God-complex. Still, I'm trying to be objective about this whole thing.
