Alors que Kabuto ne dit pas un mot sur son nom ou toute autre information, l'un des orphelins vint lui poser un casque sur la tête ce qui donna l'idée à la sœur de le nommer Kabuto (ce qui signifie littéralement casque). The episodes for the fifteenth season of the anime series Naruto: Shippuden are based on Part II for Masashi Kishimoto's manga series. During the fight, while trying to turn Sasuke on Itachi, Kabuto revealed he augmented his body with the cells of After the brothers' attempt to pin him down resulted in him losing one of his horns, Kabuto admitted the brothers worked together well. Dans ses combats, il essaie toujours de découvrir les intentions et les faiblesses de ses adversaires plutôt que de foncer tête baissée comme Naruto. Urushi said his lack of a name was annoying and Nonō, taking inspiration from the helmet, decided to call him “Kabuto”. Later, Kabuto went to the battlefield where he tended to a badly injured Sasuke. Kabuto can also manipulate water to unleash huge waves of water and even use the Water Dragon Bullet technique, where he unleashes a large water dragon, even without hand seals or a source of water. Thus one of the other orphans, Urushi, asked if Kabuto had any manners, before putting a helmet on his head to protect his head wound. But Orochimaru was able to break During Kabuto’s time in Konoha, he attained the rank of genin and took part in the Chunin Exams, so as to gain information on the other participants for Orochimaru.

Kabuto lui demande s'il a l'intention de les écraser eux aussi avec cette attaque. Kabuto can even deal with genjutsu techniques that need eye contact by using his snakes’ ability to sense their surroundings with their tongues. After Guren and her team failed to kill a group of Konoha ninjas, Kabuto made them help him in summoning Isobu the Three-Tailed Beast.

Also Kabuto helped Orochimaru with his human experiments, gaining more knowledge on the human body over the next few years. When faced by Naruto, surprised that he was working for Orochimaru, Kabuto overwhelmed the youth and insulted his dream as he managed to land a mortal blow on his heart. After trying to play on Sasuke's desire to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village, using his background story to show how alike they were, Kabuto summoned his chakra scalpel while using the cave itself against Itachi and Sasuke. Orochimaru did indeed give Kabuto his new identity, that he’d been found at the Battle of Kikyo Pass and he’d been raised by a captain in the Konoha Medic Corps. He says that he does not know who he used to be or what he wanted to do, until he saw Naruto’s resolve.

After Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura defeat Shin Uchiha, he agrees to adopt Shin's clones as his own sons, intending to name every single one of them. However he eventually realized that he was under the effect of Itachi’s Izanami, trapping him in his mind in a time loop. Kabuto est capable de réanimer le cœur d'un cadavre afin de le faire mouvoir et éventuellement combattre à sa place.

Kabuto was again approached by Orochimaru, who told him that his fight with Nonō had been orchestrated by Danzō as Kabuto has become to mush of a liability due to his skills. After some time passed, Kabuto and everyone was released by the genjutsu with the help of Naruto and Sasuke. In the English dubbed version, he was voiced by Henry Dittman (who also voices Kabuto is rather sadistic with a very dry sense of humor, taking enjoyment in playing mind games with his enemies, but can also be polite and helpful.
