So let me get this straight - Kabuto ran all over the ninja world graverobbing the most powerful ninjas who ever lived for Edo Tensei, assimilated the abilities of Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin into his being, brewed a giant anaconda from scratch (Manda II), mastered Oro's powers, developed a "that jutsu", and mastered (not learned!) Senjutsu within, what, a couple of months at best? Guess Kabuto will be treated similar to the main cast considering how ridiculous Naruto's and Sasuke's power-ups are.
Kabuto also appears to the actual inheritor to the Sannin theme - in contrast to the main cast - since his powers are similar to Oro, Jiraiya, and Tsunade. With his declaration to being a dragon right now, Kishimoto may be introducing the "Tiger vs Dragon" rivalry into the manga, with Naruto being the Tiger to Kabuto's Dragon. This does make sense. Naruto is chiefly raw-power while Kabuto is chiefly skill. If and when the two duke it out with each other Naruto and Kabuto will be equal to each other as far as strength is concerned. Luckily for Naruto deus ex machina will save the day for him for the upteenth time.
