I think we're all still clinging to that hope.

And Iruka doesn't have to be stronger than Naruto in order to teach him. (Kakashi has said that Naruto is more powerful than himself now, but Kakashi still teaches him.) Iruka still has knowledge and advice to give.
We just saw him give Naruto advice in this very chapter, and yet, you still dispute that Iruka can help Naruto?
