Serious question. Why do so many people hate Kabuto's backstory so much? Along with Nagato and Chouji, he has one of the most sincere, best written and saddest backstories in the manga. I think a lot of you may have missed the point of the fight entirely, Kabuto started as nothing- a nobody with no special powers of bloodline limits, not even a name whilst Itachi (his opponent) was born talented, as the prodigy of the Uchiha- This is what DROVE Kabuto and that was what the flashback, the fight and the juxtaposition of Kabuto & Itachi was all about.

The difference between the no name oprhan wearing the Kabuto helmet and the Dragon Sage Kabuto is huge and really, quite sad. It's superbly written.
So why do so many people hate it? Did you just not get it? Was it placed badly in the manga? Or is it just the Itachi fans who were expecting 5 chapters of Itachi love? I'm genuinely interested. Why so much hate for Kabuto's backstory. And for that matter Kabuto too.
