That said, if he's forced to actually compete in the setting itself... I think he's probably still a step below what's-her-face, the last boss of Naruto-evil moon goddess lady, in terms of immediate offensive powers, and she might have him beat for esoterica too. So I don't know what's happening in Naruto NOW, but if he showed up in the original series, things might have eventually gone bad for him. Again, only if he actually has to be on the planet as he did with Middle Earth though.
