First of all he goes sage mode passively via juugo's dna
Wrong, this is how he enters sage mode

Read from that page & look how many scans it takes for him to finally shed his snake skin, it took 7 pages from where I showed you but I'm convinced that he started the proccess when he first made the handsigns. Either way, this is more than enough time for the ones below to stop kabuto with the necessary jutsus.
Secondly the amount of time it takes naruto go bm, madara or hashirama to even do anything( all of their techniques
require seals) Or nagato to do anything kabuto can slap his hands together and pull caskets out of thin air.

Hashi...actually kabuto is a bad matchip for hashi, he doesnt have anything that can kill him...

As for edo tensei, they are lifeless puppets until programmed to do otherwise, at most kabuto can throw in some sealing tags or use some fodder jutsu that he only has knowledge of but its unlikely that he can act before the above scans take place.
As for the proper programming crap ur talking about the only time kabuto overwrites their autopilot(which he purposefully left weak to attack shinob's moral having to fight a conscious dead teammate) is when their eyes turn white. Other than that they follow the talisman.
What...? Kabuto cant overwrite anything remotely without anko's chakra, before kabuto adds in his talismans the edos are either lifeless or they act of their own free will. There are actually scans showing both so there is contradiction but the fact remains that kabuto cant control his edos effectively without anko's chakra or the talismans.
lol so your entire argument as to why kabuto isn't second is they blitz him b4 he does anything?by that logic kakashi should be 2 on your list via kamui lol.
Kakashi cant blitz many top tier ninja with kamui
Anyways. 3rd raikage tanked frs quite fine and could tank mabui's the instant teleportataion without even using lightening armour so he should be fine against some exploding tags.
No he didnt, he was an edo, if he wasnt then he would have still taken damage to FRS, look at the damage he took

. Compared to how he was in the previous scan (no cracks), it is certain that the RS affected him
despite what naruto says. This is a situation of feats being > hype. Feats say he took damage, naruto's hype says otherwise. Raikage is getting hurt by bombs.
