He has the senses of Sage Mode. He has the speed (dodged Sasuke's point blank range lightning blade extension). He has the strength (increasing and wielding the big ass snake objects with ease) and he has the natural chakra collection abilities of the toad-sages.
I would point out that Kabuto's sage mode is incomplate like Jiraiya's but probably more so than Jiraiya since more of Kabuto's body changes.
This means that Naruto's sage mastery is probably better than Kabuto's.
And the Frog-Fu tech does not necessarily mean Kabuto lacks the ability to create those shockwaves.

I doubt it but A has no real way to permanently hurt Kabuto; I consider A weaker than Orochimaru BTW which makes this all the more confusing.
I agree. I think Oro was one of the strongest characters in the series and we are only finding out what a fully healthy non-"gloat while pwning my old master" version of Oro could have been like. He was in a weak form, nearing the end of his body's lifespan, when he fought Naruto. Sucks. Because we did not get to see a truly healthy and serious oro go all out. We have gotten to do so with Jiraiya and Tsunade, though. That's been cool.
