First, I want to start with a picture:


Now let's look at certain points:

--Kakashi's arm is injured. Naruto's arm is not injured.
--Kakashi almost collapses after the clash, while Naruto stands strong.
--The picture above suggests Kakashi groups Naruto with the Yondaime which can either mean he feels Naruto truely is the only one who will reach Yondaime or he sees Naruto to be superior, just like his sensei, the Yondaime.
--Naruto's natural affinity is the superior to Kakashi's natural affinity*
--Naruto is now showing analytical skills.

*I say lightning is Kakashi's natural affinity because although Kakashi has shown to use water and earth jutsus, he identifies most with the lightning. Furthermore, I have yet to see Kakashi use a fire jutsu so we know he doesn't have a clear advantage over Naruto in the elemental department.

It's now shown why Kakashi's arm has been injured. Both clashed their Rasengans and simply, Naruto won :P. And since Naruto's hand was not harmed in any way, it shows Naruto has controlled his chakra enough to have enough power than Kakashi. Since Kakashi almost collapsed, it shows that Naruto could have probably killed Kakashi if he tried hard enough.
Kakashi is now grouping Naruto with Yondaime which means that Kakashi now has great respect for Naruto as a fighter. Furthermore, since Naruto is now showing analytical skills, he is improving to be an all-around very strong fighter.

Okay this next part is a tidbit that deals with the latest chapter but it needs to be posted here so don't click on the spoiler if you don't want to see it:
Kakashi, using HIS natural affinity, is having his butt handed to him by Kakuzu. However, in the latest chapter, Naruto would have killed Kakuzu if his jutsu didn't crap out at the last minute. Naruto, showing his great analytical skill, successfully got behind Kakuzu and got close enough to Kakuzu without being hit. If Kakuzu wasn't totally lucky that Naruto's jutsu crapped out, he'd be dead right now, since his remaining hearts were clumped in the same area/body, so the RasenShuriken would have destroyed the 3 hearts at once.

Anyway, let's see what everyone else has to say: Has Naruto now surpassed Kakashi?
