Episode 336 of Naruto Shippuden is titled "Kabuto Yakushi". It originally aired on October 31, 2013, and serves as a deep dive into the tragic backstory of its titular character while he is trapped in Itachi Uchiha's Izanami loop. [1, 2, 3, 4]
*It adapts chapters 582, 583, and 584 of the original Naruto manga by Masashi Kishimoto. This episode is critical to the main storyline as it reveals Kabuto's entire tragic backstory and explains why he became Orochimaru's right-hand man.*
Here is an overview of the key plot points and where you can watch the episode:
📖 Episode Summary
- Life at the Orphanage: The episode features a flashback to Kabuto’s childhood at the Konoha Orphanage, where he was raised by a gentle caretaker named Nonō Yakushi (whom he called "Mother"). [1, 2]
- The Blackmail: Danzō Shimura and Orochimaru visit the orphanage. Danzō blackmails Nonō into going on a dangerous espionage mission in exchange for funding the orphanage. Kabuto is also recruited into Foundation/Root to work as a cross-nation spy. [1, 2, 3]
- The Root Betrayal: Years later, while on a mission in the Hidden Stone Village, Kabuto is forced to fight an attacker, whom he fatally wounds. To his horror, the attacker is Nonō—but due to insidious psychological manipulation and altered photos provided by Danzō, she does not recognize her own adoptive son. [1, 2]
- Joining Orochimaru: Consumed by an identity crisis after Nonō dies not knowing who he is, Kabuto is approached by Orochimaru. Orochimaru explains that Danzō intended for them to kill each other because they "knew too much". With his old life shattered, Kabuto agrees to join Orochimaru to seek his "true self".
