Wow, Orochimaru really wants dat ass.

Now Danzo is responsible for Kabuto turning evil? That already happened with Sasuke and even Nagato. True, Orochimaru was really more responsible for Kabuto and Sasuke turning out how they did, but Danzo played a part in the Uchiha clan massacre and put Kabuto in a position where Orochimaru could manipulate him. Considering what we know about Root, it's also very likely that he wiped Nonou's mind.

[Merci]

When are we going to find out how Kabuto became Sasori's spy?

The conclusion?

Danzo's a dick.

When are we going to find out how Kabuto became Sasori's spy?

 

Probably 1-2 chapters from now.

I knew Danzou was a f*cked up person, but to do that to an orphanage? lol That's terribad.

But I like how we got some more background on Kabuto. Kabuto's been all over the world lol

And it was only for 1 mission I presume. I think there's to be a big twist after all this.

[Legend Zero]

>Kabuto was in Root

>They let him participate in the Chuunin exams

 

Did nobody know or was it "for his mission" whatever that was at the time.

Being part of Root is secret, isn't it? I don't think any of the Jonin knew.

Either that or he was stationed there because Danzo knew Orochimaru was coming and wanted Kabuto there to dispose of him if necessary.

Either way, Anko had no clue =P

[Doc.]

I hate Naruto, its about a hyperactive little generic twat running around fighting random people and transforming into TOTALLY NOT NINETALES FROM POKEMON, but you know, its Shonen Jump, It comes as standard.

The 3rd Hokage was there when Kabuto quit before the one on one fights. I'd think he would know. Though, that will probably be the case. *shrugs*

Then why post?

1. Part of the story is Naruto's journey to success, and it's pointed out in-universe that he'd achieve that if he changed how he acted.

2. The go on random missions, so the random fighting has a reason for it, but the fights stop being as random relatively early as the overarching plot begins to develop.

3. Ninetales and the kyuubi are both based on a kitsune, meaning that they share the same influence. He also rarely transforms fully, and if you want to claim that it's a rip-off of anything, there are more similarities to Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho.

4. If you know that it's standard for shonen series to have fighting, why complain about the series for having fights?

[Ghoulish]

Its getting to the point where I'm losing interest in Tobi's identity, Kabuto's backstory is nothing special compared to the others, he was an orphan swayed by orochimaru...that's it so far and I doubt there'll be much more to it, they should show some panels of Tobi and Naruto soon...

[Phantom Roxas]

Agreed, but such is the downside of focusing on multiple perspectives at a time.

[·Toot]

This background is kinda bland for me. With It, I don't think they are gonna add how he was related to Sasori.

That's what I actually want to see.

[Phantom Roxas]

Come to think of it, wasn't Kabuto originally a spy working for Sasori? So far, it looks like Kabuto's allegiance really was originally to Orochimaru.

Well, he did just come from the Sand. He might go tell Sasori of his encounter with Orochimaru and that's when he'll act as a spy before Orochimaru turns him over.

Thankyou for bringing me up to speed.

I'm not even a big fan of Naruto and even I know everything you just said is ignorant and wrong. You're the only annoying twat I can see.

Besides, if you're seriously comparing anything to Pokemon, then you obviously need to get a life, bro.

Also, you fail at whatever you were trying to achieve with this post.

[Flame Dragon]

Looks like the flashback will be over in a chapter. Still don't see the reason why we need to know why Kabuto is the way he is, but w/e. It isn't bad. I'd just rather focus on the story at hand since we are slowly closing in on the end of the series.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

I think that they changed the background story somewhat. Although, Kabuto's background has always been fishy at best.

 

1st background: Spent several years as spy in Hidden Leaf Village for Orochimaru. Originally adopted son of Konoha's Chief Medical Officer.

 

2nd background: Was originally Sasori's spy for undisclosed amount of time (I'm assuming several years). Then defected over to Orochimaru.

 

3rd background: Was found by a former Root operative turned orphanage running nun, trained slightly in medical ninjutsu, then taken by Danzo to be I guess a part of Root. Served as spy in all villages but Konoha. This background is incomplete.

 

Conclusion: Most likely the first background will be played off as a cover story. So it probably isn't true anymore. Not that they ever played much on it anyway. What probably happened was that with the addition of characters like Danzo, they wanted to revise Kabuto's background some. That or they will have some interesting explanations coming up in the next some chapters.

[DeathSDelano]

The flashbacks maybe linked to Itachi's jutsu he did. Because kabuto said something to himself why is he remembering this now or something like that.

[TheEffinZ]

I guess they wanted him to be more important before he his killed

Actually, all those backgrounds can serve true .-.

 

Nonou (the glasses lady) was both the former Root operative and the Chief Medical Officer. Then comes in the 3rd background. During his time in the Sand, he became a spy for Sasori. The undisclosed amount of time could have been anywhere from a short to long while. Then he defected over to Orochimaru and returned to Konoha for whatever remaining years until the Chunin Exams where we met him.

[·Toot]

I thought the main purpose of his flashback was to show us how he obtained the sage mode.

It might also have some kind of link to that scroll Suigetsu found a few chapters back.

I was thinking about that, but then I remembered that Sasori left the Sand Village as a youth. And since Kabuto isn't too old, I am fairly sure Sasori left before Kabuto infiltrated the Sand. So it's hard to say what the timeline really is now. I can't quite recall what Chiyo said, but I thought she said that Sasori's face had not changed in the decades after his defection. If we go off of what just happened, then Sasori would have to be in Suna about 7-10 years prior to the start of the story. But if that is all the more contradicting the story becomes, then I can live with that.

I see. But in that case, I think I'd say Sasori will meet Kabuto next chapter or so around the same time Orochimaru finds him and then has Kabuto either spy on the Sand or Konoha.
