ever heard of plot hole kishi does it all the time.
Actually he does not. A plot hole is something that directly contradicts something else in the manga. Kishi has VERY few of them.
He does however have plenty of plot no jutsu(where he has things happen just for the sake of plot. But they do not contradict.)
Example being minato sage mode. Nothing contradicted directly that he couldnt use it at all. But he did it just for plot.(it was not neccesary for him to show it)
Send me a PM with specific examples of plot holes. I will be happy to respond with specific responses, that show they are not plotholes.
Kabuto found Deidara's DNA who literally atomized himself.
AND lost 2 arms and left plenty of blood around seperate from his body.
To the OP.
That actually does make sense. The other possible reason, was that kabuto did not want to risk getting caught in konoha.
