It takes barely 2 seconds to summon them and without intel no one will know it's the edos he's summoning, all the ninja you mentioned aren't stupid enough to blitz something they have no intel about.
oro/kabuto/sage deserves to be in top 10 but doesn't deserve to be in top 5. He might be able to summon edo's but he needs space and hideout to control them specially high level shinobis. Kabuto can't control madara or anyone who has a strong will to break edo. That's weakness and risk of edo. His own edo (strongest summon, would turn against him).
His sage mode is tough to beat tough
HERE WE GO AGAIN if Itachi wasn't an Edo he would have died because Kabuto sliced him in half and Sasuke saved him BLABLABLA ALL JUST BULLSHIT LOLZ.
If you payed attention to Itachi's face when Sasuke entered you could clearly see that Itachi didn't count on Sasuke to enter the fight and he clearly said ''It turns out worse than i expected'' which means that Itachi knew that Sasuke would be in his way to take out Kabuto on his own. Itachi also clearly stated that the Edo tensei's weakness was him, and do you kids really believe that Itachi would let himself get killed that easily if he wasn't an Edo. Itachi exploited the fact that he was an Edo that's all.
Mortal Itachi > Kabuto anyday.
Madara broke free because edo tensei was being "released".. Kabuto was already controlling him when he fought the kages..
Kabuto > Your fav character.
Kabuto his not in top 10!.. Sasuke and Itachi DIDN'T try to kill them
only because he have Edo doesn't mean that your Number 1 NarutoVerse. i don't see Oro in top 10
he is maby not even in top 20 anymore because oro taked his DSM
Nagato doesn't solo edo akatsuki + edo kages + edo kekkai genkai + edo ginkaku and kinkaku + edo seven ninja swordsmen
neither does, itachi,sasuke,naruto,obito and all those you listed.
Use your brain for once.
1. neather side's where trying to kill the other, Kabuto did not want to brake his new toy's namely Sasuke-kun
2.We do not know how many edo's Orochimaru had, he has only been shown using Hashirama and Tobirama
3. when you count a shinobi you need to talk about them at there peak not current situation.![]()
Oro maby only 2 but the 2 strongest
Another shinobi's power is not your own power.
Uchiha Itachi broke free and stopped kabuto. His abilities and knowledge of edo allowed him to do that. edo harishi/madara broke free because he wanted and not because he was being controlled. He never was being controlled to begin with. Madara was doing as he pleased because that's what madara is. He is person who doesn't like to hide anything and wants to show everything. And if you don't know the difference of being controlled and not then I will show an example. Mu was being controlled by kabuto in order to talk with madara which shows that madara was not being controlled. His actions were his and not kabutos. So before you say something stupid I would be careful to say it
Kabuto is not nor will he ever be greater than minato. Edo's weakness is minato. Minato is what little in the shinobi world seems to have and that's sealing abilities. Without this sealing abilities, the alliance would have never be able to defeat edo. From what I have seen in the war, not many have this sealing ability. This is exactly why uzumaki clan was feared and sought by the entire shinobi world. This is why the uzumaki clan siezed to exist. Even if kabuto is in sage mode. Minato is faster and reaction is quicker. His intelligence is higher.
Orochimaru may have perfected edo tensei but he did not master it like kabuto has done,
not to mention the sheer number of edo's in kabuto's arsenal would would fodderize basically any other shinobi.
