How is entrapping Pein and disguising his shadow clones as rock formations not skill? How is taking down Kabuto with a rasengan, by using his own shadow clone to harness his chakra not skill?
It takes massive amounts of skill to summon those shadow clones - it's a jonin technique.
It takes plenty of skill to use Sage Tech.
And it sure takes a damn lot of skill to beat Pein.
