Was Kabuto (During the war) really stronger than Orochimaru?

As for me I can't really answer this. We got a great amount of kabuto's techniques. But with orochimaru being a sannin and on a verge of achieving immortality I'm questioning it?

well kabuto was only that strong thanks to orochimaru to begin with. Now that he no longers has any orochimaru in him. NO.

Oro's body was to weak for Sage Mode. So yeah, SM Kabuto> base Orochimaru.

I dont think so, the only thing setting them apart was sage mode, which orochimaru can achieve with the correct body.

Yes he was and do not say thanks to orochimaru's DNA, Orochimaru has never even proven to have or be able to use DSM in first place.

At that point yes.
Due to the fact that he could take in an unlimited supply of chakra while in sage mode thanks to having orochimaru's chakra to sustain the feat.He also had karins dna which let him essentially replicates oro's ability to be immune to psychical attacks however he went one step further by being able to quickly heal after any attack making psychical attacks irrelevant completely.

Combine this with to manipulate the earth itself,protrude bones from his body for a simultaneously attacking and defending stance coupled with being so fast he can dodge susano arrows point blank,unlimited edo tensei' summons,being completely immune to sound justu and genjustu or any combination of the two (except izanami) He was pretty much immune to everything.And lets not forget his espionage skills and most likely immune to almost every poison liek sasuke since he is the one performed the procedure on him.

Also the fact he knew pretty much everything there was to know about any ninja worth knowing and their skills was a huge advantage.

Oh and one more thing lol His serum to suppress mokuton

Yeah he was op as hell

good thing kishi pegged him down a notch lol

Then you need to re read that fight he had plenty over orochimaru at that point in time
Some of it was due to the dna and having oro's chakra but the outcome was kabuto being stronger then anyone at that point in time.

This is why kishi had to create izanami or there would of been no way to kill him.

It's an invalid question. About half his power came from orochimaru. It could never be a fight between that kabuto and orochimaru because if one exist the other can't

The only differences between him and kabuto is the fact that oro does not have the sound 5 dna however he doesn't need it because he was able to use sage mode on his own to begin with and could already tank any attack that came his way which is what the sound 5 dna let kabuto do.

Just not in battle because his body at the time was a host body and was not strong enough.

they both got fodderized by uchiha !

Fodderized? What are you talking about?

When Itachi and Sasuke got stuck Kabuto's Genjutsu even though Itachi had MS and Sasuke had EMS?
When Kabuto sliced Itachi in half?
When Kabuto nearly killed Itachi using White Rage?
When Kabuto stabbed Itachi through the chest?
When Kabuto ripped apart Itachi's body using Muki Tensei?

I won't even say anymore. Your statement is invalid. Kabuto > Itachi + Sasuke

I know there can't be a battle between them. I just asked when it came to each one's abilities which one was stronger. Not who would win in a fight.

kabuto said he surpassed oro and i believe him. edo army > edo hokages. dsm and sound 5 powers can handle anything oro can dish out. oro doesnt have a counter for hakugeki
our statement is stupid ! did kabuto win ? didnt think so . Kabuto is still standing around looking stupid now ! who cares if kabuto sliced him he was an edo moron !
your claim was kabuto was fodderised, not that he lost. if he was "foderised"itachi would have only taken 1 chapter to win and taken no damage. which didnt happen. without his brother how can he escape genjutsu, without his brother how does he resist what happens AFTER hes sliced which is getting his fuda rewritten?
the only thing setting them apart was sage mode, which orochimaru can achieve with the correct body.
wrong. kabuto had so much oro doesnt have. the only things that are similar is both can shed their skin and summon snakes. and use ET
