Afterward, Orochimaru, having been revived by Sasuke, reabsorbs his chakra and DNA that was inside Kabuto, returning him to his original appearance. He attempts to both capture Sasuke and return Itachi to his control but is snared in Izanami, a powerful genjutsu that traps its victim in a "Groundhog Day" Loop, and is forced to end Edo Tensei by Itachi. He is confronted by Itachi and Sasuke, who attempt to stop the Edo Tensei, and reveals he has surpassed Orochimaru by becoming the Snake Sage. He then proceeds to resurrect almost every deceased character in the Narutoverse and then some, including the jinchuriki, Akatsuki, and the real Madara. Several of these new abilities are shown off when he battles the shinobi guarding the two remaining jinchuuriki, managing to nab Yamato in the process. until he shows back up even later with some new Orochimaru-esque powers and allies himself with Tobi. He feels that he needs to prove his strength by overpowering the growth in his body, but appears to be failing. Later, after Orochimaru dies, he has something of an existential crisis and integrates some of Orochimaru's DNA into his body. In Shippuden, he shows up in the second arc. Fortunately, Naruto saves her and is more than willing to demonstrate his new Rasengan on Kabuto, doing more damage than even he can heal and motivating Tsunade to beat the tar out of Orochimaru. Though she has her Super Strength to fall back on, he quickly finds a way around it by exploiting her fear of blood, beating her. He plays a bit of a bigger role in the Search for Tsunade arc, where he engages Tsunade in battle. After this revelation, he (while disguised as an ANBU) heals Hinata's rather severe internal injuries even though he gained absolutely nothing by doing so (and was healing somebody who could literally see right through his mask if she woke up). Later, it's revealed he's spying on Naruto and Sasuke.
Kabuto shows up in the first series during the Chunin Exams at first, he appears to be a good guy, helping Naruto's team make it to the finish. This, combined with his love of torture, makes him an especially dangerous opponent. His main technique is the Ninja Scalpel, which can sever the strongest muscles with great ease. In combat, Kabuto uses medical techniques that he repurposed for combat. Then, when Orochimaru defected from Akatsuki, he broke the memory seal, and Kabuto became Orochimaru's follower. At some point in the past, he started working for Sasori on Orochimaru's orders, who erased part of his memory to make him a sleeper agent. Orochimaru found him and took him in, offering him a new identity in exchange for his allegiance, which Kabuto accepted. He joined Root to supply the orphanage with money but was eventually attacked by and forced to kill Nonō, who Danzo had tricked intending for them to kill each other, causing him to cross the Despair Event Horizon. He was actually taken in by an orphanage run by Nonō Yakushi, a former Root member whom he considered his mother. This is revealed to be a cover given to him by Orochimaru. Konoha's Head of Medical Corps took pity on him, taking him in and teaching him medicine.
