if you restrict that then your list isnt a list of whos strongest anymore. its whos strong while handicapped
Having a bunch of edo's doesn't make kabuto invincible
he is a fodderess without edo tensei
kabuto proved recently he can compete with the best of them without it. with it hes a monster. restricting someones power means its no longer a contest of whos strongest in terms of power. edo counts as a regular summoning jutsu like sasoris puppets
2)Madara
3)Hashirama/Nagato
you said no ET but how the hell is ems madara that high? all he has is a weaker susano and katon
how?
naruto would slaughter and rip itach apart
Hashirama- Took on two of the most powerful forces in the Narutoverse evenly and still won.
we dont know what happened plus mito aided him
Madara- Perfect susanoo. One swipe destroys a landscape, enough said.
only in edo form. and no it isnt enoug said
Itachi- MS, susanoo which can protect him from anything seen so far, and his totsuka blade which can seal anyone away. Not to mention he has Izanami as a last resort.
wrong on all counts
