Itachi is the most perfect Edo my foot, Kabuto nearly punked his ass TWICE in their battle; once when he impaled Itachi using inorganic reincarnation and then again when he literally cut him in half and was about to put a tag seal in his head if Sasuke didn't intervene.

Nearly every character in the series openly acknowledges the only one stronger than Madara is Hashirama, it's only when Naruto and Sasuke get their 6 path power ups they can fight Madara on even ground. You're basically trying to say Itachi is stronger than the 1st Hokage i.e. the God of Shinobi who captured all 9 tailed beasts as we see in flashbacks to the first 5 kage summit. Yeeeeah Itachi could totally stop the war...which is why Madara and Obito later started tearing the alliance apart with the Juubi because he totally stopped the war. Kabuto never said that, give me a chapter number now because I've recently reread that fight and I'm not seeing that at all.

In chapter 585, kabuto says itachi is the finest foil he could ever get in his edo tensei jutsu.

Namikaze@ he said "resisted", not itachi "broke it". He is clearly giving light to itachi's edo tensei resistance and seperating KA from it.
