There is one sentence in Chapter XVI where the Buddha makes the claim that the benefits he obtained by the practice of the Way of Bodhisattvas have not yet been exhausted. There are some who have tried to make the claim that this statement refers to the chanting of Odaimoku as being the Way of Bodhisattvas and this circles back to indicate that Nichiren is somehow superior to Shakyamuni. It is a convoluted argument, and a false one.
