Because that's the only thing that makes them worthy of being in some lists lol. No but to be honest, Kabuto is strong, even without Edo Tensei, but Orochimaru isn't in my opinion.
Lmfao, along the lines of what I was thinking.
Yeah I figured that you'd say that, she is a tier above him if we talk about the chakra section. Even Naruto and Sasuke held their own against her.
No, she's a tier above him period. Naruto holding his own against her doesn't mean that Madara can beat her, it just means Naruto is strong enough to do worse to Madara. He wouldn't win though, and Sasuke has been getting wrecked by her.
By raw power yeah, by the way, he never fought HER he fought Juubi with her inside him. So probably a whole other fighing style and techniques.
Rikudo after he'd been the Juubi's Jin said Kaguya was stronger than anyone else, including himself. Whether or not they fought is irrelevant, he'd lose.
How will Naruto and Sasuke individually defeat the intangible duo (individually) except if Obito's chakra doesn't last that long, but I doubt that.
After obliterating PS, Sasuke blitzes either one with his Rinnegan, and Naruto hard counters Kamui with clones, and he is much faster than either of them, so in tandem with his clones. Once in CQC, they'll be able to hit either one of them once they become tangible to attack.
About Gai: I didn't put him above Naruto, because of the black orbs. With his speed and power, he defeats Sasuke and he would defeat Naruto too if it wasn't for his orbs.
His speed is nothing they can't react to, and he isn't getting past the Gudo Dama, nor is he getting past Perfect Susanoo. Naruto ends him with a Bijuu Dama FRS and Sasuke carves him up with PS.
Itachi already defeated Kabuto and Nagato. that he cancelled Chibaku Tensei with Naruto and Bee's help doesn't mean he couldn't do it himself. if you and me were standing in front of a bear, even if you were the strongest guy in the world, I bet you wouldn't say: "Hey wait, let me take my shot first before jumping in!".
Yes, it does. Nothing implies he could have done it himself, hence the firepower needed to actually counter it. So no, he didn't beat Nagato. Naruto and B helped Itachi, so he didn't solo Nagato.
And he didn't solo Kabuto. Sasuke helped him. Simple as that.
Having said that, what else can Nagato use to defeat Itachi? itachi is smarter, and he would win (again).
CST obliterates his Susanoo along with him.
CT crushes him.
Same goes for Kabuto. He's strong but Itachi seals him if he can't defeat him with other strategies. I think you may start about the flute of Tayuya, but again: Itachi and Sasuke needed to get free from the genjutsu as fast as possible, the way to do that was to use genjutsu on each other. Even Shikamaru broke free from Tayuya's Genjutsu. If itachi would fight Kabuto alone, he would've used other strategies to break free from it.
Kabuto doesn't beat Itachi only because of Genjutsu, he beats him because he's simply stronger.
-Muki Tensei can be used to animate the ground under Itachi and attack him, or he can toss him out of Susanoo.
-White Rage puts Susanoo down, and Kabuto finishes him.
-Kabuto dances around his jutsu until Susanoo gets dropped, then he finishes him.
-Totsuka is evaded with ease considering Kabuto dodged an arrow from Sasuke.
-Oral Rebirth for Amaterasu, Genjutsu isn't going to work, and Izanami is useless now that Kabuto has been trapped in it and has broken free.
