I'm just gonna borrow the explanation I originally did for the blog but back in ch. 32 Kamo talked about how he considers Fushiguro to be superior to the main family (which got kind of mistranslated by V*z...). At the time I'd assumed he meant Maki and Mai who were both present. 
What interests me is the phrase he used to express it because a variation of it appeared now in ch. 142, notably also in the context of the Zen'in family. Except this time it's Naoya, himself a member of the main family, using it to proclaim himself as the "superior", capable one
The thing is, Noritoshi has spent over 10 years in the Kamo family, in a privileged position of its heir and preparing to become the next family head. As both families are based in Kyoto, there's no way he's never met Naoya before even if the two familes may not be on good terms.
So it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that when Kamo said he considers Fushiguro to be more capable than the members of the main Zen'in family, Naoya might've been included among them; thrown in the very same category as he puts his own "inferior" older brothers in.
