/sigh...yet again another disappointing forum. Naruto wins.
Why? When he was trying to master rasen-shuriken-- kakashi saw he had surpassed the 4th. During the fight with pain, he saved tsunade in a blink of an eye, thus surpassing J-man and yet again Minato.
Naruto is faster then 3rd reikage. Only one other person is also faster then reikage -- Minato -- HOWEVER Naruto isn't dumb. His sensory is enhanced when in sage mode and in kyuubi mode...well.. minato is just screwed.
Those who disagree obviously are too incompetent to cope with reality.
@ bold: Yes because we all know Base Naruto (no Km or Sm) can Beat Minato just because he learnt to use Rs...... xd
Naruto Has only surpassed them in the sense of Mastering Jutsu's they could not. Has nothing to do with him Being able to actually beat them.
Same about Sm naruto "surpassing" jiraiya. (current Sm naruto Has surpassed him though)
During the Pain Fight jiraiya was Still stronger than Sm naruto (in my opinion) Mainly because he was Far more experienced at that Point.
Jiraiya Was able to kill 3 Pains with Zero Info Or Prep time also he was in Pains territory. He was at a Major disadvantage, Yet he still Killed 3 of them. Also Pain admited him self If Jiraiya had known His secret from the start he wouldn't of Won.
While Naruto Had full Info and Prep time, Starting in Sm and Starting with Three Toad summons + Ma/Pa. Also Fighting Him in the Leaf. Yet He will would of Lost if not for hinata and the Fox.
The point is, While naruto has Surpassed them in terms of Power, He still lacks experience to Completely Surpass Minato/Jiraiya.
Experience comes with Age, Its Somthing Naruto will get when he is Older.
