Yin Healing Wound Destruction (8 Chakra). Immediately before Kabuto would take damage from a source he is aware of, he halves the damage taken. |
An orphan of the Third Shinobi War, Kabuto was raised in an orphanage that paid for itself through healing injured shinobi and with direct funding by the Hidden Leaf Village, and as such was trained in medical ninjutsu. When Danzo's threatened to withhold funding if they did not turn over one orphan to become a member, Kabuto joined, despite his effective family's wishes. Within Root, he was trained in combat and espionage. Unbeknownst to him, his surrogate mother at the orphanage also worked for the Foundation. Over time, she would be fed doctored images of Kabuto's growth until she wouldn't even be able to recognize the real Kabuto. Eventually, the two would be turned against each other in an attempt to eliminate two of the Foundation's most effective and knowledgeable spies. After coming out victorious, but becoming disillusioned by the truth in the process, he was recruited by Orochimaru as his right hand man and given a false identity, acting as a triple agent between the Hidden Sound Village, Hidden Leaf Village, and the Akatsuki, using his disarmingly polite personality to win over more than enough trust. After believing he had finally found a person to be under Orochimaru, he was shocked by his master's death at the hands of Sasuke. Determining that selfhood is surpassing one's predecessors after the example of Naruto, he underwent a monstrous transformation, becoming the "New Orochimaru". |
