Just a thought. I know many have joked that seeing this flashback has something to do with Izanagi. But, joking aside, maybe they are right. And, what's more, maybe Izanagi is literally rewriting Kabuto's past as we watch. Specifically, maybe the possible timeline discrepancies mentioned earlier (in this thread) are now a result of Itachi rewriting Kabuto's past, fundamentally altering the character's personality (and consequentially, their fate).
I doubt this is the case, but it would be a fun twist to the entire concept of the flashback that Kishimoto so often uses (and will undoubtedly use again when the Tobi fight officially starts).
