"To this day, there is no ninja existing who surpasses his power."

[~Ethereal~]

It's a weird hype yet a bit of facts with it as well.

In terms of "No shinobi surpassed his power," can be interpret as "Nobody reached higher power without him being apart of it."

His power was not surpassed in very vague and literal terms as the following:

BSM/RSM naruto-Has not surpassed his lineage.
Rinnegan Sasuke- Has not surpassed his power because his cells gave him Ashura's chakra to awaken the rinnegan.
Rinnegan Madara- Same as rinnegan Sasuke, including the creation of will (yin yang release) and summoning Gedo mazou
Ms Obito- After gaining Hashirama's cells, he obtained six paths chakra by combining both incarnate chakra.
Giving him Gedo mazou manipulation, yin yang, and six paths via black rods

Only true people that surpassed that power is juubi jinchuuriki's but they're no longer shinobi's any more.
They're gods....

And night Gai...
Which can be implied that the previous kages can preform it, but it's only an assumption.

I agree with all this. ^^^

Naruto and Sasuke kept their powers.

Rinnegan Sasuke > Hashirama, The Last Sasuke > Hashi

Blind Madara, Blind SM Madara, 1 eyed Rinnegan Madara, 1 eye JJ Madara, 2 Eye JJ Madara > Hashirama. So idk what you mean, "for a couple minutes"

Juubito > Hashi, as Hashi stated himself

RM Naruto, RSM Naruto, The Last Naruto > Hashi

 

[juzumaki]

naruto surpassed hashi the moment he went BSM anything beyond that is stronger

base naruto in the last > base hashi

Sasuke and Naruto r above him now

Stopped reading at databook. Databook lose credibility with temari blowing away the universe.

that was either a hyperbole, or it was mistranslated.

Organic Dinosaur clarified this part. It was only refering to his healing abilities.
To this day, there is no ninja existing who surpasses his power.

Yeah. the translation itself is correct. My version of this line is:

From thereafter, until current/present time, there isn't a shinobi who exceeds that power

However その力 ("that power") is referring to his 治癒能力 (Healing Ability), not overall strength or battle strength. It has nothing to do with anything outside the scope of the section. That sentence only pertains to his cells (self-regeneration and augmenting vitality when grafted onto others) and his remarkable means of healing via not weaving signs.

So it only says that his healing abilities are unrivaled, even until now~
