kabuto had all those bloodline limits and perfect dragon sage mode yet still easily owned by weaker/edo itachi...

Itachi was saved by Edo regeneration and Sasuke's abilities multiple times, plus he had to sacrifice an eye to use Izanami. Plus, Kabuto didn't have any of his Edo Tensei pawns to assist him... you'd think he'd have saved some of them for self-defense

Granted, Itachi/Sasuke weren't fighting to kill Kabuto. I'm sure if they weren't holding back, the fight would have ended in their favor sooner. Totsuka comes to mind.

Kabuto is definitely strong, it's just that Itachi is ridiculously strong.

Well Sasuke and Itachi couldn't hit Kabuto. The closest they got was shaving off one of his horns. Which Kabuto admitted he didn't fully dodge due to forgetting he had them.

Totsuka would be useless. Itachi was getting punked during that fight. Had he not had an Edo body, he would've been killed many times over.

if itachi was alive 1v1 against kabuto he would be dead within 5-10 mins.

Manga need to continue by ending all this edo tensei fiesta.

Because of that Itachi need to used Izanami asspull to caught and defeated Kabuto

I see by my ownself no way Kabuto can lose easily like that.

I never thought Kabuto was hype to begin with, dude looks like a nerd, which pains me to say because he's loyal to my favorite village: Sound

Lame excuse. Kabuto wasn't fighting to kill either. He wanted Sasuke alive and wanted to reclaim Itachi as his pawn.

in some ways Kabuto was overrated, but in others he wasn't. The biggest mistake Kabuto made next to overestimating his abilities was believing he didn't need to get acclimated to the DSM beforehand. Itachi saw it and capitalized on it, not that he got it done by himself.
