Assuming ofc.. you could just argue he has a different sage mode so he’s given different abilities.. I’d highly argue that the sage mode strenght is a natural gift from nature energy that any perfect sage user gets.

Then you can’t even argue kabuto is holding back here because he tries to go for multiple lethal strikes on itachi anyways.. so what’s the deal?

Matatabi is my personal answer.. it looks like it isn’t even in a full physical form.. a cool addition would’ve been if traditional attacks just passed through matatabi because it’s closer to pure chakra than flesh.

Also the coolest TB design in my opinion, blue and black looks amazing together.
