@ first i want to say that this argument is not pointless, why do you think you are posting in a forum? its because you want to have an argument and it can't be pointless when you have enough material to use.
no there were not... there were moments when Kabuto obviously hates Oro and there were moments when he talked to him as a good friend/ servant.Originally Posted by Abdula
these moments hower could be simply faked... Kabuto did also speak highly of naruto sometimes, however in the Sannin arc. we all saw that he thinks naruto is a kid and stupid..
sooo how would you act in front of a person which could kill you in an instant? i would be very polite and act like i like him..but in fact i would think the opposite..
the conversation during the Chuunin exams showed that Kabuto has something in mind...didnt you see his face?i mean why would he be so extremly scared when Oro told him that he saw through him and he has to kill Sasuke if he wishes to stop him now...lucky for him Oro was only kidding
the reason why Kabuto serves Oro is simply power i believe...
He can test his Medical jutsus on test-subjects which is forbidden in other ninja-villages..
so he gains something from him and since he can't go elsewhere (he's a spy!!!! and a missing-nin) he stays with Oro.
In addition to that:
Kabuto isn't so stupid like Naruto or even Sasuke who would simply die for their dreams.
he believes that when he dies his dreams and goals won't come true, so there is no point in fighting against Oro directly but i still don't think he lives happily as a servant (even though he is a high-ranked one). I believe if someone would give him more than Oro does he would simply betray him and the only persons which are strong enough to make Kabuto feel like its worth betraying Oro are the people from Akatsuki..
However... Kabuto beeing a double-agent does make most sense i think.
i just wanted to point out that there IS the possibility Kabuto does not "love" or even "like" Oro. He is not a person which is worth fighting for if you gain nothing from it, is he?
everyone of his servants seeked power or help in the fillers and in the real episodes. that was the only reason why they actually fought! so why would kabuto do otherwise? he doesn't act like someone who has "so much respect" (remember when he fought against kakashi or the Sannin), he has absolutely no reason to "love" Oro or feel respect towards him (only towards his powers maybe, which would mean that he fears him ~~)
to sum this up, its more "fear" than "love"
