The kage aren't kage simply because they have powerful jutsu; they are kage because they are highly intelligent. And there are twenty-eight of them; some, like Kakashi and Sarutobi, have exceptional ninjutsu analytical ability. Others, like the Raikage and early Hokage, have fantastic war instincts. And I can't help but believe that more than just Minato and Hashirama possess usable senjutsu.

Even if it's only taijutsu that works, we have Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred, and the Raikage's can blitz him with fantastic strength and speed. Hashirama can use a widespread senjutsu enhanced Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees to attempt rendering Madara unconcious, all while Minato strikes him with a senjutsu enhanced Big-Ball Rasengan, or stabs two of his special kunai into seperate parts of Madara and teleporting them to different places; Kakashi also has Kamui, which could be used to banish Madara entirely or perhaps remove arms, legs, or even his head. Yagura, and his ability to use a water release mirror jutsu that returns the user's attack back on them... for Madara, that's deadly stuff.

The more I think about it, the more I believe it's very possible Madara could lose here. I mean, jeez. Twenty-eight masterclass kage, so many jutsu to use strategically.

I like this way of thinking.

I mean, the tactics that could be employed are endless. Imagine if Minato succeeded in hitting Madara with a marked kunai, or perhaps managed to mark the body itself. Minato could teleport Madara to a position already decided upon, where Kakashi has Kamui prepared. The moment Madara appeared in his new location, Kamui would already be in effect, removing parts of his body. We've seen strategy like this when the Second, Fourth, Naruto, and Sasuke were combating Juubi Jin Obito.

And once he's taking grave damage like that, have everyone hit hit hard. Or perhaps, while he's still down, have Tsunade scramble his movement the way she did with Kabuto; just another edge to the battle. Perhaps do a combination jutsu between Mu-Hashirama and Minato-Onoki; senjutsu charged particle release attacks on a crippled Madara. Or perhaps Sarutobi could use the same Reaper seal attack on him that he used on Orochimaru; how could he defend against that?
