The name of the technique (though unofficial) is inline with the other God Realm powers of the Rinnegan. More importantly, the conversation between Kabuto and Madara at the time implicitly confirmed it to be a Rinnegan level ability. After witnessing the destruction, Kabuto marveled at the power of the Six Paths.
I'm not
Of course he did, who else could have done it?
Muu?
It's a view he hasn't seen since the days long ago when he would reshape the landscape with the power of his Perfect Susanoo. One swing of his sword could destroy all creation.
Again, within that same panel, Kabuto claimed it was an ability of the Sage of the Six Paths.
That majority was always off base. Madara said that only Hashirama could stop him, and clashes between the two would reshape the landscape, but now that Hashirama is no longer around, the maps wouldn't change so much.
Madara's ability to reshape the landscape was thanks to the Perfect Susanoo; he hadn't yet obtained the Rinnegan back then.
Indeed. A Rinnegan ability that is used in conjunction with Susanoo - what's the big deal? We're not dealing with separate ocular powers here. The Rinnegan is the final stage or stop for the Sharingan; the Rinnegan is not an alternative path. We're building on old powers as new powers are obtained.
The Mangekyou Sharingan's Susanoo becomes Perfect Susanoo with the EMS; Susanoo can now pull meteorites from the atmosphere once the Rinnegan is achieved. Through obtaining Hashirama's power, Madara now wields a fraction of the Sage's power, thanks to the doujutsu he was able to obtain.
Combination of "text and imagery" push the reader to credit the Rinnegan as the required ocular power needed to utilize this power.
Susano'o are named from the Tengu in Japanese mythology and Tengai shinsei is accurate. When you examine the rudiments:
The literal meaning of Tengu is "Heaven 天” and “Dog 狗." In Chinese mythology, there is a related creature named Tien Kou (Tiangou 天狗), or "celestial hound." The name is misleading, however, as the crow-like Tengu looks nothing like a dog. One plausible theory is that the Chinese Tien Kou derived its name from a destructive meteor that hit China sometime in the 6th century BC. The tail of the falling body resembled that of a dog, hence the name and its initial association with destructive powers.
You claim it was a "rinnegan level technique" when we do not know the extents of the sharingan prowess, as it able to do many things beyond comprehension and in some cases like Shisui's Kotoamatsukami are more dangerous than the Rinnegan itself. Your speculation on the landscape is over-ridden by the scan itself as it was looking at the two meteorites which demolished the land scape. Kabuto's statements bears little credibility as he once claimed being closest to the sage and that the edo tensei has no weaknesses, but even given him the benefit of the doubt, What does he know of the Sage's power? Nothing. It is written on the Naka Shrine, something he's never came in contact with. Edo Madara's Rinnegan was just a hypothesis he formulated. You are illegible to the fact that the Sharingan itself became prominent because of the elder sons defective Rinnegan due to some external interference (mostlikely the juubi) causing a mutation in the Doujutsu. The full extents of the shaingan are yet to be seen as we've only recently discovered that Susano'o can cast handseals, something you failed to address in your rebuttal.
