Lol let's stop with the overhype of Nagato.
1. He never dealt with Kakashi in CQC without Shinra Tensei or BT.
2. KN6 owned him in CQC.
3. No pain body bar Asura can hang with Jiraiya in CQC. Blocking one attack isn't evidence of that.
Base Naruto during the pain arc was matching Deva Path in CQC, and then shat on him when he got back into Sage Mode. When Deva can even perceive Mu'ş attacks properly, then we can talk about him beating Mu in CQC.
And beans, i dont give him weighted boulder.
1. That's because his fighting style revolves around Deva. Doesn't mean that he has to rely on it, it's simply his safest option 99% of the time. He's tactically aware of when his CD is down and up, and what he can do within that time frame, which is why he almost never got caught.
2. Pretty sure there was no "CQC" between them, it was Deva reacting to everything KN6 had. ST countered by KN6 and Deva comes out unharmed. TBB countered by Deva and Kyuubi coms out slightly harmed just like Deva. There's clearly no indication whatsoever of Deva getting owned. Anyways, he seemed to be running at a relatively similar speed to KN6 as well, so he wasn't owned in any single aspect of their fight.
3. Deva was casually reacting to Kakashi's attacks, not sure what puts Mu anywhere near that level of striking speed. Mu splits in half when Deva puts a chakra rod into one of the replica's? Deva procees to stab the other one with a chakra rod. Nothing more, nothing less.
4. I'd LOVE some scans of this. Because Base Naruto never was matching Deva in CQC, and as a matter of fact, he was getting shat on in a similar way to what will happen to Mu
