Cerberus can't be permanently downed by physical attacks as Nagato explains.

So this would be able to keep Manda II busy as Nagato handles Kabuto since none of his summons can't really finish Manda II off.
This isnt about physical attacks this is about restraining Cerberus as Manda has displayed against Turtle island[

]. Manda being a snake also plays a factor here when we take into consideration him having potential venom which could
Paralyze Cererbus.
Since he has Shared Vision, his summons won't need to alert him as he can see everything they see along with what he sees.

Add this on top of his sensing, and the chances of Kabuto blind siding him or slim to none. Allowing Nagato to react and counter via an Asura attack.
You took what I said the wrong way, I didn't mean his summons actually alert him but rather they are the fundamental behind his shared vision. After they get taken care of by Manda 2 Nagato's shared vision will be limited. Nagato's sensing will not be effective while in white rage due to him not being able to focus correctly, as sasuke displayed he said
My Ears.. I feel that my bones are rubbing against...! each other[

]. Taking white rage into consideration and its side effects, Nagato sensing will not be as strong due to white rage.
He can use Asura Path's

to escape to the far end of the crater to escape its area of effect. I'd also like to note that it won't be as effective in an open space as it was in the cave due to the cave being a closed space, allowing the sound vibrations and light to bounce of the walls of the cave thus amplifying the effect. Not to mention there is nowhere to run in a closed space.
Using chakra propulsion is a reliable counter but you're not taking into factor of the white rage dragon following after Nagato. We clearly see it going towards the desired target of Kabuto's Demand[

]. Also it's very questionable that he will even be capable of getting away in time before the radius of the white rage catches him.
Closed space or not doesnt make it any less powerful. Also It's very questionable if the cave was totally closed off. We clearly see a hole behind itachi and sauske in the cave[

]. Now I will admit the very likely the cave got blocked off due to the rubble but it's still noteworthy. Either way the white rage will still have a toll on his body.
He can destroy the dragon and the orb before the dragon

via Asura's various projectiles.
Except your not taking into factor of those high destructive projectiles from nagato may also damage him due to the blast radius. The smartest option would be for him to expand his fist[

]. But even then im still doubtful it would destroy the dragon and the orb. If you analyze the white rage dragon it clearly has a liquid like state which puts into question of the projectiles simply phasing right through it.
He can blow the whole thing away along with Kabuto via his basic Shinra Tensei that is

Even if Nagato is caught in White Rage, it won't stop him from using his jutsu. It only prevents jutsu that

That being said, his

let him figure out where Kabuto is coming from and when he is close to him, allowing him to counter with a Shinra Tensei to blow him and the orb away. Saving Nagato from Kabuto and cancelling the effects of White Rage.
I honestly don't know how you came to the conclusion that he would still be capable of
Properly sensing Kabuto when white rage is actives.. It's strain on the victims body is simply too great while maintaining to sense kabuto. I get what you're saying but I find it very unlikely he will be capable of sensing kabuto while in the white rage.
Muki Tensei is not a valid counter for Chibaku Tensei. As we already know Chibaku Tensei drags rocks, debris, and people up to its core until it reaches its max size or until Nagato stops it.
Obviously you dont understand the strategy that kabuto will pull here against CT. Very much like itachi pointed out the gravitational force will pull their attack in to the orb.

But instead this time kabuto will use the gravitational force was a means of transportation to reach the mass of orb formed into a circle and manipulate it to his liking.
Scenario 1 - he uses Muki tensei on the mass rubble to form spikes similar to what he did to Itachi and sasuke but on a much larger scale to deflect off and defend against the other rubble coming towards him.
Scenario 2 - he uses Muki tensei
(Theory) to somehow make the mass of rubble move way on it's own.
Scenario 3(
most probable and legit counter to Muki tensei)- As soon as he notices Nagato throw up the black orb for CT he immediately actives his
Body flame technique which would safely get him away from CT.

To do what you say he can do. He'd have to be able to touch the orb with his hands as he did in the cave, and infuse his life force into it to take control of it. That's going to be pretty hard if not impossible to do, when he's being smashed against the rock by other large rocks.

He'd have to liquefy to survive, but he can't use Muki Tensei in that state.
Read above I already gave possible scenarios and and legit ways to counter CT. Scenario 3 as I said is the most probable.
The gravitational pull of CT wouldn't even allow him to get the rocks away from the orb to begin with, so this fact alone leaves Kabuto's attempt to counter via Muki Tensei in vain.
Once again read above
Nagato has two sure fire ways to finish Kabuto off.
-Chibaku Tensei, which will drag him up and encase him within the rock.
-Gedo Mazo's Soul Dragon,

Hanzo needed to

Though using this would pretty much mean Nagato is finished for the remainder of the fight, so this is only to be used if he manages to get around Chibaku Tensei. (Which he can't)
Tayuya's Genjutsu, another big threat, can be broken via the Chakra Disruption Blades that Nagato wields, which do as the name implies. Disrupts the chakra of the person who is stabbed by it. Or he can inflict pain on himself via Asura limbs, as the Genjutsu would paralyze his body, but not the extra mechanical limbs he can make after he has been paralyzed.
All in all. Nagato has this in the bag.
Already gave a explanation to CT.

While I admit the dragon has soul-ghost like characteristics it should be noted that he did indeed smash into the ground making physical contact. Worse case scenario Kabuto will have to use Muki tensei as a means to put up a barrier around himself to guard against the soul dragon. After that Manda 2 could restrain the Gedo for a period of time until Kabuto finishes off Nagato and the Gedo will disappear.
The only way Nagato is winning this is by Gedo because physical attacks will have no effect on him.
Possible counter to Gedo soul dragon
A very legit counter I see from kabuto regarding the soul dragon would be to turn himself into liquid.
You must be registered for see images
As you can see during the itachi and sasuke fight he can turn his body into liquid.
I highly doubt the soul dragon can still take his soul while his body is non existent and is simply liquid.

I pretty much agree on this. But Theirs always the matter of kabutos different form of genjutsu displayed in part 1. He is able to put people to people to sleep with his genjutsu demonstrated in the chunin exams.
Here we see kabuto activate the genjutsu

Now I will admit the technique was amplified by other ninja due to it being a large crowd but never the less this is a dsm kabuto now so the technique should be much more powerful then it was in part 1. And yes I will also admit guy and kakashi and sakura were capable of breaking it using genjutsu deflection but this is a heated battle so Nagato may not be able to cancel the genjutsu before he falls asleep which will leave him to getting decapitated on the spot
Kabuto takes this high diff.
