Why he's the 2nd Strongest next to Madara: As the leader of the Akatsuki, Nagato was an extraordinarily powerful shinobi, and recognised as the most powerful member of Akatsuki. He was Kabuto Yakushi's second strongest reincarnated shinobi since he noted that he'd have to bring out his trump card after he was sealed. His partner, Konan, had stated that he had never lost a single battle, and that he was "unbeatable". Fukasaku, The Old Toad That Naruto used against The 6 Paths of Pain and usually was called "Pa", stated that without understanding Pain's power, no one could defeat him. Even Obito noted that Nagato was invincible.
Don't try and say that Itachi "solo'd" him: Nagato was fighting two of the strongest Jinchuuriki and owning them at the same time.
Then Itachi had to cheap shot him with his Touska Blade while Nagato wasn't paying any attention to Itachi.
I guess if Kishi didn't make Nagato loose somehow, the war would be over by now.
Why do people dare underrate Nagato like he's Kakashi level: I've seen this a lot. Especially people saying this guy outranks Nagato -->
