Would he really have to know what Muki Tensei is? A 360 ST is the perfect counter, but you're right, he may not know to do it. He could just use ST on Kabuto before he even gets the jutsu off. He was able to use ST in between

.
And he's supposedly a master of every element. I'm not going to get too into it because it's speculation, but there are a few Earth Style tech's that could avoid it.
Point is, Nagato's going to do
something. He's not going to let Kabuto use a jutsu, that would be foolish.
Use Shina Tensei on Kabuto? Where do you think he is? Right in arms reach? No, Kabuto can use this technique from afar. Unless Nagato uses a larger scale Shinra Tensei, which would be pointless as Kabuto can evade it with the teleportation jutsu he has frequently made use of in the past [

I am aware of his sensing feats, but without knowing the exact type of attack (One that was quick enough to catch Sasuke off guard), He is not going to waste one of his better defensive jutsu. Nor will this be the only technique on his mind by the time it's used. I'll get back to this in another section, however.
He has a feat in a single fuuton. That's it for his mastery.
On top of all that, is Kabuto going to even be on the offensive in this fight? Asura path is deadly, and he can freely modify his body parts to accommodate Asura. It would've killed Bee if not for Itachi.
Kabuto is not Bee, nor would he be caught so easily. He escaped through Susano'o's grasps before. The Asura Path won't be any issue, as I have said before. Unless Kabuto makes it into a close range, and even then debatable, he is avoiding the rockets and can escape from the chakra cannon.
I don't see how Oral Rebirth counters Bansho Tein. Even if he's shedding he's still caught in a gravitational pull, and after that he can use Human or Asura on Kabuto from point blank range.
An going air born makes Kimimaro pretty useless.
I'd see it more as the, now shed skin, is what is being pulled. But, assuming he is still caught. Let's see what happens next. Oral Rebirth. Liquidfying himself so Nagato can't get a proper grip. attacking him directly with the snake attached limb.
Going airborn also makes Nagato pretty useless.
Except Nagato has many summons. Manda 2 is huge, but can it deal with all 7 at once? Especially since they can come from all sides. It does only have one mouth to bite with, after all.
And can you imagine the catastrophe that would be caused by this? Where would Kabuto and Nagato be? Nagato could quite easily attack manda while he is distracted through flight, something Kabuto really has no offensive option against.
Nagato's summonings are going to be far too slow to land an attack on Manda II when it's moving. They'd have to rely on when it stops, and even then Kabuto can also summon lesser snakes to help Manda II. Not that it's needed. They aren't defeating Manda II who needs to only squeeze all but one to death, and the dog would be rendered useless after a bite. It would be problematic, but really. Manda II's strength and speed out classes all of them.
How is he getting hounded? Summons have proven to be no problem whatsoever for Nagato. He casually knocked three boss toads over long distances with just an ST. KCM Naruto and Bee both tried hounding Nagato and they were nearly killed.
I don't see Kimimaro doing anything really. Flight counters everything except his Bone fingers which are blocked with Gale Palm.
If Nagato uses Shinra Tensei, it leaves him open to Muki Tensei. Which is exactly what I was planning on happening. He will be distracted by either Kimimaro's bone forest and use Shinraa Tensei to repel that, or to deal with snake summonings, Kidomaru's web, et cetera.
KCM Naruto was caught off guard by the cameleon, something that won't happen to Kabuto. Killer Bee was 'taken out' thanks to the shared vision of the summongs and Nagato. You keep mentioning flight, whether on a bird or levitating as the Deva Path did. . .I'd like it if you could tell me exactly what Nagato can do next, after that. For as I see it, he's just prolonging the battle. He's not going to be capable of doing anything to kill Kabuto or hurt him from a height at which Kabuto can't counter.
I mean, I don't think I need to bring up the following jutsu to show how Kabuto wins. White Rage. Orochimaru's True form. Both of these are going to stun Nagato for more then long enough to be killed.
Sorry, it got messy by the end. My comp. died for a second and I had to restart it, so the last paragraph may be incoherent a tad. I lost my train of thought when I got back on.
