Kabuto Yakushi

The Dragon Sage

"*I am no longer a snake… sage power has allowed me to shed that skin… and I am a dragon now!!*"

## **Summary**

**Kabuto Yakushi** (薬師カブト, *Yakushi Kabuto*) spent most of his life as a spy working for many different individuals, organizations, and countries during his life. His natural talents in intelligence-gathering and medicine attracted the attention of Orochimaru when he was younger, who made Kabuto his right-hand man. Although Kabuto learns much about the world under Orochimaru, he eventually decides that his life of serving others has prevented him from making an identity for himself. He thereafter seeks power and becomes a major factor in the Fourth Shinobi World War, using his higher place in the world so that he can find where in it he belongs. After finally finding himself in the world, Kabuto returns to Konohagakure to run the orphanage there, helping others such as himself to find their own way.
