hes weaker now than he was then...
i dont know why they made him a viable character in the manga anymore.. he lost his biju but he still can hold that ultimate defense forever.
They revealed that he got his power from his mother or something like that, which is why it stayed after the Biju was ripped from him.
He bested his dad, I think he's more than a viable character. They couldn't just make him suck, especially because he's the kazekage.
