To become how strong? Strong enough to be a Kage?

You don't think he is there yet? Gaara is a kage. Do you think Gaara is stronger than Naruto? Naruto is fighting Pein (all of his bodies) one on one and winning so far; something Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kakashi, hell the entire village of Konoha, couldn't do.

At this point in the story, based on what we've seen from Naruto in the last few chapters, who do we know that is stronger than Naruto right now?
