I didn't say he acts like a child, I said he is a child. My point is that power doesn't equal skill in battle. The previous hokages have years/decades on Naruto. They are smarter, they know more jutsu, they have fought in more wars.

The "lacking experience" argument is completely invalid. Nearly everyone that naruto has defeated has had "more experience" than he has. Even Gaara had more combat experience than naruto did, and he still won. by himself. (summons do not count as "getting help" since it is an ability that the shinobi possesses. Same goes for using puppets.)

Even if the summons have to tell you how to win? Like Bunta did against Gaara/Shukaku?

We have every reason to believe that he could easily best Sage Jiraiya in combat only using half his available power. What makes you think any one of the kage stand a better chance?

Because the Hokages are better than the sannin? Did Hiruzen pick a sannin to be Yondaime? Nope.

also, whether or not naruto has had help in the past is completely irrelevant when discussing potential battles, since there would be no outside interference allowed under the current context.

Huh?

Honestly, if any of them have a chance, it's hashirama, since he can (maybe) shut down the 9 tailed fox's power. But even then, just with sage mode naruto is incredibly powerful. And even then, it's only IF he can stop the foxes power. Yamato was not able to control naruto after a certain point. We don't know how much of the fox's power that Hashirama can control do we? i don't remember. But any of the other kage? I seriously doubt it. Naruto is as fast or faster than the 4th hokage when he's using his signiature teleportation. That was the entire point of the dialogue saying that bee saw a "yellow flash" when naruto sprinted. It was obviously intended to draw a correlation between the two, or the wording would not have been so exact and emphasized. And that was when he had LESS power than he has now.

What about the dialogue saying that Naruto is almost as fast as Raikage and that Yondaime is faster than Raikage??? And last time I checked, being able to control a bijuu was not the only way to fight a jinchuriki. Did Akatsuki have bijuu controlling powers? No, yet they were able to capture most of the jinchuriki.

In summary, it's possible that hashirama might be able to take him head on, especially since he is the most powerful of the kage. But without reaper death seal (which is, at best, a draw, not a victory.) the third or fourth likely have no chance. Also, yet another reason the experience thing doesn't matter. None of them know what naruto is capable of except for the 4th who was apparently watching him because of the chakra he left with him (which still doesn't make the least bit of sense, but whatever.) They have absolutely no experience with fighting anyone like naruto.

In summary, experience and skill don't matter... whoever can super saiyan power up the most wins. /sarcasm
