So far it's
 * Sannin- 5
 * Kabuto- 0

@Combat '''we haven't seen the full extent to which he can manipulate the environment though. To me, the limestone cave is better- there were basically already daggers hanging in the ceiling, so he could further weaponize them by making them project out of the ceiling, and since the cave was an enclosed space, its actually harder to dodge. In a flat open terrain such as the one given in this vs battle, it probably would be some glorified earth technique, as giving "life " to flat earth''' This totally makes sense and kinda makes the jutsu seem a tad useless now ;_; when he used against Itachi i saw the ground being kinda wobbly and wasn't weaponised.

'''The jutsu prevents effective concrentation, cause paralyzsis, deafens the ear, and blinds, but in the broad daylight and in open terrain, those effects are significantly reduced. I believe the Sannin can still counter attack with ninjutsu if Kabuto uses this technique in the terrain given for this battle.''' Itachi used ninjutsu indeed but that Ninjutu didn't require movement or handseals, so this is a no go i guess ;-; (sannins using jutsu whilst being affected this attack) The sage art white rage attack can still affect them, the distance is only forty feet, if they're in close range to the attack the sound and light will definitely affect them more than them being at a long distance (open field disadvantage).....that can then leave then vulnerable to a slice attack to the neck ;_;.

'''The issue with the sound is again its an open space. It means that the Sannin can use their own techniques to drown out the sound effectively''' The sound genjutsu is long range so distance doesnt really matter, atleast the distance that the sannins are gonna be from Kabuto..when tayuya was reanimated she had over a hundred men trapped and immobilized under this genjutsu, Shikamaru was saved thanks to plot. i mean who carries ear plugs to war? xD..didn't really get what you mean by the sannins using their techniques to drown out the sound, i got a glimpse of it but it seems very unlikely tho...

Regeneration and The orochimaru style substitution kinda gives kabuto a 100% chance to survive 98% of the sannins attacks. He has the upperhand here with the sannins unable to counter a few two of his techniques which can prove to be deadly those are the white rage attack and audio genjutsu. Katsuyu was about to spew acid on Orochimaru, Orochimaru then stated something about trust,then further on in his statements he said or you can go ahead a kill me..meaning Katsuy's acid can take down Orochimaru? since he'll be covered with it,if he tries to substitute the new body will get acid eventually...so maybe if they drove Kabuto to a corner then can spam acid on him after gaining enough knowledge on his regen and substitution techs this can be possible.
