Kabuto was found on the battlefield of the Kikyo pass battle as a child, and brought to Konoha by a medic squad jounin. He was adopted by the medic's family, the Yakushi family, and was accepted by the village.
He was enroled at the ninja academy, but his grades were average and he failed the genin test 3 times before finally passing at age 10. Kabuto continued his seemingly bad grades as a genin on a team with Akadou Yoroi and Tsurugu Misumi. He attempted the Chunnin exam a total of 6 times during his life at Konoha at failed all of them. Actually he made it to the final test in at least 2 of these attempts, but he retired to avoid gathering attention to himself.
Yakushi Kabuto was in fact a spy from Ottogakure (sound) who was a direct right hand man to Orochimaru, one of the 3 Sennin. He had been gathering information about all activities in Konoha for many years, and in his last year especially information on Uchiha Sasuke.
Kabuto plays a major role in the infiltration and invasion of Konoha during and after the Chunnin exams. He seems to develop an enmity with Kakashi during a fight in the hospital.
He has revealed his identity, and therefore can no longer be useful as a spy in Konoha, however Kabuto makes himself useful around Ottogakure as Orochimaru's right hand man, doctor and confidant. He also looked after Kimimaro, although it is rumoured he poisoned him in the first place.
In Konoha records he completed 2 C rank and 14 D rank missions. The speculated number is 28 C rank and 163 D rank missions- having completed more D rank missions than jounin, like Yuuhi Kurenai or Sarutobi Asuma.
Little is known about Kabuto's actual strength. He uses his amazing regeneration powers to grow back flesh after injuries almost immediately. His Taijutsu are enough to be able to take on Tsunade, one of the Sannin. There is also the question about Kabuto's eyes and his "old blood". No one knows what he's talking about just yet...but his eyes to go strange in the Death forest episode...
It has also been speculated that he is a member of the Akatsuki...


We wish Kabuto luck in the future!!
