He can instantly heal any damage he takes and can shed his skin like Orochimaru. I don't doubt that Madara could keep him down for a 10 count but Kabuto's healing is too OP for anything to have a major effect. You missed the point Kabuto had to stay alive for Edo Tensei cancel, so Sasuke and Itachi tried to avoid using any lethal attacks against him. The Izanami was only available jutsu of Itachi, that was able to defeat Kabuto without killing him.
