Friend Or Foe?

[Abdula]

I hate him. Never liked him. Retarded gennin compared to Itachi. Yes he's evil. No he's not a sub to Oro. No he shouldn't be.

In my opinion all kabuto has ever had is healing from his dad, and the ability to use weak points against them, in only taijutsu form. Thats all. I think that he's a useless character in the series to begin with.

Are you trying to give me reason to get on your case. First of all although we don't know much about Kabuto but one word you can never describe him with is retarded. If the "dad' you are referring to is the chief medical ninja that adopted him then you are wrong. Kabuto's abilities and origins remain unknown as does Orochimaru's for that matter.

His healing ability doesn't come from his training and there can be no greater ability for a ninja to have than exploiting someone else's weak points, thats how the leaf ninja's survive because they certainly weren't stronger than the opponents they have faced. Kabuto's abilities aren't limited to taijutsu, he can obviously use high level nin and medical jutsu's and appears to a genjutsu type as well. Hell even his basic taijutsu is better than most other ninja's we've seen, certainly leagues better than Naruto's.

Like I said we just don't know much about Kabuto and he really never needed to show us much since he was content to merely follow Oro. Now that he not only intends to improve himself and his own skill but go as far as surpassing Oro, I don't see how you can think he is retarded or useless. I mean even without revealing any high level techniques, he managed to dispose of Tsunade so if he is useless what is she?

In anycase I think Kabuto is and always has been positioned to become possibly the biggest opponent in the series thus far, if or I should say when he manages to surpass Oro I don't think anyone will be able to argue that. He already has natural regenerative abilities and if you combine that with Oro's high level ninjutsu's and forbidden jutsu's and Oro's other crazy abilites Kabuto would be a possibly unstoppable villain. Not only would he have Oro's abilites but he would have his own unknown abilites along with tai, nin, kin and possibly even genjutsus. Plus he is highly intelligent and has superior strategic and analytical abilities. Now if that isn't a formidable opponent no one is.

What do you guys think of Kabuto??? How strong is he compared to Itachi?? Is he really evil? Is he really a SUBORDINATE to Orochimaru? Should he be?

This thread isn't properly named if that is what you are going to ask. I was also going to say that this thread should have been done earlier when something Kabuto related was going on but I noticed you're a new guy. I'm guessing you are talking about the anime in which case you should have made this thread in the anime section rather than the manga section. You should post in the Introductions thread.

We don't know much about Kabuto or Itachi and we can't say much about their strength since we have no idea just how strong they are. Its also really hard to compare them since they have completely different fighting styles but as for now I would say Kabuto isn't as "strong" as Itachi.

Evil is rather vague as I don't really consider Kabuto or anyone else in the manga to be evil. The only one I would consider evil is Oro and I still don't think he was but Kabuto certainly isn't a good guy so No I don't consider him evil but he is a bad guy. Is he really a subordinate to Oro ofcourse he is and yes he should be because he wasn't stronger than Oro and he did benefit alot from him.
