Taking all of Orochimaru's research on kekkei genkai into his body following his master's death, Kabuto underwent a monstrous transformation, effectively becoming a newer, better Orochimaru. Awakening an army of reincarnations, Kabuto aligned himself with the Akatsuki like his old master, preemptively capturing Yamato and Anko Mitarashi for his own purposes. Later, as the Fourth Shinobi World War raged on, he was confronted by Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha, who trapped him within his own mind using Izanagi. Reliving the same events over and over, he eventually discovered who he truly was, escaping the technique. Returning to the battlefield, he healed Sasuke, who had recently been nearly killed by Madara Uchiha. Following the conclusion of the war, he decided to assist the Leaf Village orphanage he had grown up in. Following Shin Uchiha's death, Kabuto took on the sole duty of watching over his numerous clones. |
