Many people take this quote as meaning that the newer generations will be more powerful than their formers but that's not the case.

The quote actually is talking about morals, explaining that each generation will strive for peace and harmony more and more.

Madara cannot be surpassed, therefore that saying is bullsh*t.

No overall they do surpass there is always that couple of people that cant be surpassed like Naruto but Konohamaru look at him he will become very strong and live up to his Grandpa 3rd and Asuma he already have a fire nature he may have more and already knows Rasengan at a younger age than naruto. If naruto teaches him summoning or something he may even get the APE with the 3rd had or some toads and them toads will lead him to gaining sagemode

from DBZ dumba*s (It said 10 characters so I chose to swear at your lack of knowledge)

I never watched Dragonball Z, it was ridiculous and had crappy artwork. =D

Actually it means both, Jiraya noted that Naruto would surpass him and the Fourth Hokage, both of his predecessors and Naruto wants to surpass all four Hokage.

And both interpretations have been used with them saying that Naruto would be stronger then them and that he would succeed where they failed.

Another example is that Konohamaru wants to be stronger then Hiruzen.

Just because someone doesn't know a character from a series does not make them dumb. You calling him dumb makes you dumb, however.

Genes weaken by generation so the special traits of a clan weaken as a result, with the odd exceptions.


Fire nature wasn't canon for Konohamaru.

Explain for sasuke, itachi, gaara, sakura, neji, and naruto in the future.
I bet they are most likely stronger as their parents

Itachi and Neji haven't got a future. :S

As I said, there are exceptions but the general rule of the thumb is that power dilutes.
