[Theory] Auras and Zetsu

[Meowazziel]

This will be a short theory about auras.

A few chapters ago, we have been shown the aura of this person (bottom right picture).

Some people believe it is a zetsu, because of the spiky potrusions being shown.

However, chakra aura's can be portrayed like flame like chakra, that can be mistaken for spiky potrusions.

The spiky parts can just as well be the flame like chakra from someone's aura.
Meaning the person is not likely to be a Zetsu.

Theories around the base like this unknown/mystery person being Shisui, Elder/Younger son, Sage, his mom,
Jiraiya, Kagami, Rin etc. dont make much sense to me either, due to the this person
being barefooted. Why would all the above people be barefooted? Why would their feet look worn out?
Their is no reason for them to be barefooted and have worn out looking feet, so its not likely for them
to be the person in question.
Zetsu walks on his barefeet, but he has the mayfly technique and he can heal himself, so he has
no reason to have feet that look worn out.
More or less every shinobi that we know, cannot be the mystery person.
This theory has been about eliminating candidates to be the mystery person.
The only person we have left is:

Kabuto

 

[Fair Warning]

Kabuto would wear shoes if he was going to walk all the way from his cave to the battlefield

The hair shape doenst matter, because the picture of the person is a picture of an aura and not of the body in detail.
I expect him to help Sasuke. How that is still to be seen.

Kabuto is one of the greatest medics and knows forbidden soul using jutsus and revival jutsus
and Sasuke is in bad shape/near death/dead, Kabuto could save his life.
Kabuto has great knowledge about Sharingan, Sage mode, Juugo's clan, Hashirama, Mokuton, Uzumaki etc. too and Sasuke has Juugo's flesh in his chest and Hashirama's chakra, so if anyone would be of great assistance to Sasuke it would be Kabuto.

I bet another reason for Itachi to put Kabuto in Izanami, was to leave extra help in the future for his lil bro, in the form of Kabuto being able to help Sasuke.

I Do agree with what you have stated however, How would this person, Male or Female, Be Kabuto? If in the past Karin has been around him, How would She not recognize him? Or if it is Kabuto, Is the Dragon Sage Mode altering his chakra, perhaps The experiments changed him to such an extent?

Yes it is as you asked, the experiments and the Dragon sage mode, have changed his chakra signature to such an extend, that Karin cant recognize it anymore as Kabuto. Karin has only seen Kabuto before the DNA implants and sage mode and not after. Chakra signatures can change.
Neji couldnt even recognize Naruto's chakra in KCM, due to the changed chakra signature during that mode (even though Naruto was in front of him, he wondered if he would be a white Zetsu).
Karin had trouble in the past recognizing Sasuke's chakra, after it became colder and colder.
