Heh. That prompt a snort/cough that ended with my coke on the bar (on a work break).
I've love to have seen it though, Sakura being utterly destroyed by Kabuto. Sure, one hit from her can do immense damage but she'd have to actually land it first.
... that isn't guaranteed with Kabuto. Considering he's a sensor, has sage-mode, phenomenal speed etc.
Kakashi though... he'd find a way. Maybe. Not sure why people are saying he'd use izanami/izanagi tho - he didn't use them in the war, after all. And post-war he doesn't have a sharingan at all.
On paper he's outmatched, but Kakashi is kind of like a cockroach, he's nigh impossible to kill.
I'd say the same about the others, but Kakashi has the majority of them beat due to the length of his shinobi career, starting at what.... 5?
Being Minato's student during the war, being the son of an infamous shinobi who overshadowed the Sannin (makes for a massive target), entering ANBU and remaining there for years, racking up a massive jutsu rep.
... it's a wonder he isn't dead yet.
So Kakashi... I'm undecided. But I'll say he could have Kabuto beat on account of experience/awesomeness.
