KABUTO YAKUSHI
KY
A soft spoken, silver haired intelligence operative who poses as a harmless, multi time failure of the Chunin selection trials to gather detailed data cards on the rookie candidates. Operating secretly as Orochimaru's absolute right hand and premier medical technician, his unassuming civilian facade masks a cold, calculating strategist with high level close quarters combat capabilities. He utilizes chakra scalpels to sever muscle tissue internally without breaking the skin, demonstrating a lethal proficiency that alarms even veteran Jonin. His presence introduces a layer of deep espionage to the exams, serving as the hidden anchor pulling the strings of the impending invasion.

Kabuto uses Chakra Scalpels to sever Naruto's heart muscle and chakra pathways, mocking his dream. Naruto willingly takes a kunai through his left palm to pin Kabuto's hand in place, using a Shadow Clone to stabilize the rotating chakra sphere and landing a point-blank A-Rank Rasengan straight into Kabuto's abdomen, shattering a hillside.
