Who currently alive can beat madara or even stand off with him?

Alive...Unsure to be honest, and I wouldn't want to spoil it since this is episode only.

At this point of time, where is Saskue?

Hiding

obviously naruto

No, you'll see in maybe like . . . 2-3 episodes how insanely outclassed the alliance is
