Where does Kabuto rank?

[Exaar]

Wrong..he has lost sage mode and all its abilitys with it


He needed Orochimaru's chakra to attain sage mode and now that he has lost it he has lost all of his powers as well and many other things.

In the manga kabuto states somewhere that without Orochimarus chakra/dna he wouldnt of been able to control that many Edo's at once.ALSO in the manga after Orochimaru is revived by Sasuke and he takes his chakra out of Kabuto..notice that Kabuto was still in sage mode in izanami then as soon as orochimaru takes his chakra back he goes back to normal.

Again, Sage mode isn't linked to Oro's chakra, Just like Toad Sage mode wasn't linked to Jman's chakra.
Sage mode is a Jutsu you have to learn and master yourself, you cannot simply obtain it by taking someones' chakra/dna.

Could you also link where kabuto stats this?, Even if he did, it proves you wrong again, Since without it he can still use Edo/controll them, just not as many. That statment you claim say's nothing of him not being able to use it at all without that chakra.
otherwise he would of just simply said that without oro's chakra he couldn't use it at all.

Same happened with Naruto and preta path (preta path sucked all the sage chakra out of naruto and he returned to normal), All Oro did was take his chakra and That sage chakra, Kabuto can easily just regain that sage chakra since he has the training to.

Kabuto was still in sage mode in izanami then as soon as orochimaru takes his chakra back he goes back to normal.

juugo explained that orochimaru released SM. theres no proof he cant use it anymore, only that oro canceled it. and no. he absorbed ankos chakra so he could contorl them better. he has no problem summoning 30+ shinobis then having them fight for him.

Well current Kabuto would be fodder because Oro took his powers away. But the Kabuto before that was one of the strongest ever in Naruto.
