Without Edo tensei i'd say kabuto is still stronger, All kabuto has lost is some of Oro's power, He still Has Taka/Sound 5/DSM/Rapid healing/Manda II and all that junk.

So if they were to fight there and then, Oro would most likely end up losing, Even with Taka's (excluding sasuke) help

Orochimaru does not have DSM nor Moukoton.

Just because his body is a zetsu body doesn't mean he can use mokuton, if that were the case, all the Hokage would be able to use it, since they were revived with Zetsus.

considering Kabuto got DSM by absorbing Orochimaru yeah he kinda does have it it specifically states in the manga that orochimaru's body before the zetsu one wasn't strong enough to handle sage mode basically it was like a sound 4 level guy

Where do i rank them on a top 15 :)?

Kabuto isn't as strong at the moment, because Orochimaru took his chakra from Kabuto. If i'm not mistaken, him having Orochimaru's chakra made his Edo Tensei stronger. Possibly from the strength of Oro's chakra.

Orochimaru is quite the enigma at the moment, does he have DSM? I'd say yes, because of his white zetsu body, granting him Mokuton aswell :)

Still not sure where to place them currently. This is how i usually to rank the top 10

Rikudou Madara
Juubito
Hashirama
BSM Naruto
DSM Kabuto (Old one)
EMS Sasuke
Nagato
Minato (No Bijuu)
Tobirama
Itachi



I hope Orochimaru makes his move soon Q _ Q
01.Rikudou Madara
02.Juubito
03.Hashirama
04.Naruto
05.Kabuto
06.Nagato
07.Sasuke
08.Itachi
09.Oro.
10.Minato.

I feel this is a quite correct top 10.
Cant tell for sure due to that we dont exactly know Oro's abilities with
a Zetsu body and if Kabuto gained power due to being free from Izanami
or that he lost some (I believe gained).

Didn't Orochimaru just take his chakra from Kabuto, nothing else? In that case Kabuto is going to be just as strong as he was before minus the Edo Tensei.

DSM Kabuto is definitely one of Madara's biggest threats right now.

There's no place for Orochimaru in my top 10 list, and I'll refrain from putting Kabuto on it unless I know how strong he is after he lost Orochimaru's chakra.

Not counting Rikudo Madara and Juubito, my list goes as follows:

1. Hashirama
2. Madara
3. Pain
4. Naruto
5. Sasuke
6. Obito
7. Kakashi
8. Minato (base)
9. Itachi
10. Guy

But frankly, no list is absolute, since it all depends on what we measure.
Are we speaking of the ability to solo most characters?
Or are we talking about taking many opponents at once?
Better yet, maybe our criterium is being able to defeat many opponents in a row?

There's just too many factors that power composes of to make a list that is at least remotely accurate. For this list I chose a mixture of these three criteria and tried to judge characters subjectively based on it.

Oro is definatly top tier ever since he got zetsu's body,since right now he has a body that can handle sage mode unlike before.
