okay... so... are you saying kabuto has a seal BUT he didn't have to use it in a fight against the SANNIN??? man, kabuto must be the strongest character ever with that seal of his. jeez, why doesn't he just start his own country.
if kabuto is at a point in overall strength where he doesn't have to use something that gives you enormous amount of power like the curse seal in a fight against 3 of the strongest ninjas we've seen so far... then... well, that's just completely nonsensical.
i can't believe i am even replying back to this.
EDIT:
i wish people out stop over analyzing useless stuff and ruling out common sense.
