It's true we haven't been given a well-defined pivotal moment in Kabuto's life that explains why he's evil, but it seems pretty likely that his motivations are For Science. He's a medical and scientific genius, but lacking when it comes to natural abilities, so he used his research to take them.
If that's not deep enough, don't worry. I'm sure Kishi will tack on a sob story for him when he's about to die to make Kabuto seem more sympathetic like he did for Oro. We'll find out how Kabuto pricked his finger as child and it hurt so bad he decided to become a med nin so he could heal all his wounds, but then shortly after his pet goldfish died so he decided to become evil. |
Didn't part one of the manga say that Kabuto was adopted by some people in the Leaf? So maybe he's suffering from parental abandonment and inferiority/superiority complexes. But I agree hopefully these will be adressed before he finally gets killed.
