I think the idea was that Kabuto noticed kakashi coming in and set up a contingency plan. He likely went in and took care of the anbu as himself. Probably used a transformation jutsu afterwards to look like an anbu
Honestly, makes sense. The whole theme of the series is about growing and surpassing the previous generations, so it really tracks that Orochimaru's protégé would manage to one-up him, right?

For me, it was the pinnacle of _Naruto_ in terms of suspense and storytelling. The atmosphere, especially when they're in the forest being chased by the Sound ninjas and Orochimaru, the music, the chara design and the animation. It all makes me nostalgic and I rewatch these episodes with great pleasure. The whole arc of the Chuunin exam followed by Sasuke's rescue were the highlights of my _Naruto_ experience. After that, there are still highlights like Shikamaru's revenge arc, but it felt less like a ninja anime and more like _Dragon Ball._
@@Zelldic27 Yeah, Kishimoto kinda lost his way the longer the series went on. _(well, and the studios too, the music and the tension was way higher in Classis than in Shippudden)_

OG Naruto is an extremely underrated anime tbh. The level of suspense, creepy atmosphere, art direction were all top notch. The political intrigue, mystery, camping, exploring and military spy vibes; the mix of all of it, was nothing short of brilliant! The battles were great.. balanced and grounded with some of the best power systems I have seen in all of shonens.
@@AYCDmyhair I felt like the serious became ruined after everything during the Pain arc. It went from being a show about fighting ninjas to fighting zombies and gods
the dark gritty, fighting & actual ninjutsu casting naruto was the best. actual tactics & strategies and not just obscene power plays. I think the kakazu & hidan vs shika & team 7 was the last good one.
Kabuto knew his place 1:19. Kakashi didn’t even have to uncover his Sharingan to have Kabuto believing he could arrested him. Luckily for him, he staged a pre-planned strategy before Kakashi arrived that allowed his escape.
@@user-ys4lh4cq4o The word “steps” isn’t mentioned in my comment, not even once lol. Pain didn’t body Kakashi, chakra reserves did. Yet if he wasn’t nerfed, he would one-shot an off-guard Pain with Lightning blade like he did Kakuzu instead of grabbing his chakra receiver (chapter 420, page 4).

@@daseanharris9280 There are spirits of immense size everywhere on this planet that could destroy large areas if they wanted to.

Don't get it confused with people like Naruto, Chen Beixuan, and others that use Cultivation or Jutsus because that's two completely different methods. Also ninjas are totally more than just weapons and smoke bombs so you might want to do more research on that
Back when Kabuto was just the "Ninja Info Cards"-guy. Would've made a killing in TCG. Instead, just made a killing. Also, foreshadowing of his past as someone who can slip into any role.
This scene was the first I ever saw from Naruto. My best friend showed it to me and it got me really excited to watch the show. I was 15 back then and its been 18 years ago now (yet it still feels like today). Naruto eventually became my favourite story and it still is to this day, feel really grateful for being shown this scene and having found this amazing series
Dead soul jutsu is jutsu where The user performs surgery on a corpse to temporarily make its heart beat again. The user then uses their chakra to both control the body's movements and to hide all signs of the surgery, creating the appearance that the body is a live person.
I could be wrong but I think he used it another time too But also so did the Akatsuki once When Garra was kidnapped except I don’t think they explained the technique
You know if Kabuto hadn’t taken the time to dress as one of the Anbu he took out and cast such complex jutsu to one up kakashis one up he probably could’ve killed Sasuke and ended the story sooner 🤣
It still is. Boruto (the character, not the series itself) is still using Ninjutsu instead of relying on his OP Otsusuki powers. In Two Blue Vortex he learns the Flying Raijin.
1:03 wait, doesn’t this contradict what we learn about him in Shippuden? Or is this supposed “father” also one of Orochimaru‘s spies? Or how does this make sense in the story? Was it retconned?
I was thinking that maybe my childhood memory was lying to me and maybe the series wasn't that good, so I looked for fragments and it really was spectacular.
Kabuto is so cool tbh but only before he got all snake-obsessive, he was like on an evil spy on an evil espionage. He was so cool, tactical, and conniving. You know like an actual ninja lol
Watch Naruto here! got.cr/cc-naruto
I miss the horror elements of og Naruto
Me too, they were really good

@@FFKonokoI think he sensed Kakashi nearby and set his escape up in the span of the cut on the scene, which could have easily been a minute or two.

These were the good days
Tbv is bringing it back tho 🔥
Truth
Because of these, I started to rewatch everything.
Before space aliens and prophecies 🥲
Miss the days of it being more supernatural/mystic like instead of dragon ball z
Funny how he went from henchmen to one of the last 3 main antagonist even surpassed his master
Honestly, makes sense. The whole theme of the series is about growing and surpassing the previous generations, so it really tracks that Orochimaru's protégé would manage to one-up him, right?
He was never a "Henchman" he was just their for the sweet rides
@@eLite-Tiss91maybe but for the longest time he was always seen as the number 2. He never really seen to have any goals other then help Orochimaru. It was only later that we learned his motivation.
I think he actually caused the war cuz he used the Reanimation technique to bring back Madara
Kabuto wasn’t just down henchman.
He was the number 2.

Just pure ninja stealth , tactics , and wits . OG Naruto was fire 🔥

You guys are lucky I had dvds lol
2:53 oh no, he jumped out of the window, I guess there's no point in chasing him now
😂😂
Tbf he has a room full of death anbu that can come back to "life" and take Sasuke if he is left unprotected
He couldn't Chase after him use what little brain cells u actually have
And leave sasuke alone with his shadow clones? You must be chunin
@@jeanmemberhe could use the cloned to chase him

MOON ALIENS???
Naruto the last@@RetroNerdyGamer

That was a very unique jutsu of Kabuto's, I wish we saw more jutsu like that back then
Yeah he would use this one more time during the Three Tails arc on the dude that could communicate with bats but that arc was mainly filler.
@zeospark9715 I think I remember that
These old Naruto episodes were so great 👍🥲
10/10
Before Kabuto became a Sage and Kakashi had the DMS.
Part 1 Naruto is 10/10 the intensity and replay value alone had me addicted as a kid
The good old days when kabuto and orochimaru were main antagonists
That's one of the biggest fights that we never see. Kakashi vs Kabuto
Would’ve loved to see that

Also, foreshadowing of his past as someone who can slip into any role.
Well, Kabuto being the orphanage manager now...😂
That's really disturbing. Except for maybe Suigetsu (his expressions are funny), I wouldn't let anyone I care about near his crew. Complete "sykos".
That's not so bad as a end🤷♂️, at least he is a live
@@inmanueruyakushi Yes
When you hear 1:41 you know there's bouta be a standoff 😂😂
This how REAL ninjas uses their intelligence to trick capable ninjas!
God I love this track so much. One of the best OG Naruto tracks in my opinion
Daaammm
No wonder we loved this show so much as kids. This show was peak 😂
Ikr! The storytelling is one of the best reasons!
The art style, the fighting, the amazing music that gives of nostalgic ambience is why i wont ever stop watching naruto

Thanks for the Intel. This adds depth to what was displayed. 👍✨
I could be wrong but I think he used it another time too
But also so did the Akatsuki once
When Garra was kidnapped except I don’t think they explained the technique
I miss Naruto old days because the anime had soulsl. Had tension. Had aura.
Had battles,had strategies,had smarts and not dbz aliens and androids
Nostalgia moments
You know if Kabuto hadn’t taken the time to dress as one of the Anbu he took out and cast such complex jutsu to one up kakashis one up he probably could’ve killed Sasuke and ended the story sooner 🤣
I was looking for this comment !
I always assumed it was a jutsu he cast on their corpse as he killed them, not that he was actually laying down as the third one the entire time.
@@bruhvenant he was lying down as the third one the whole time, the jutsu can't permanently swap someone's conscious, just for a short time
My favorite shonen anime, a classic shonen with the great sensei kakashi
The Good ol days
Kakashi vs Kabuto, the match that Kishi was in debt to us 😢
One of the most underrated scenes in the whole series
Back when Anbu were thing then disappeared during the war
I mean during the war it didn’t really make sense for anbu to wear their usual uniform
They kind of lost any gravitas they had after part 1 or so.
Naruto always felt suspenseful
Nothing beats part 1 Naruto. GOATED shonen
I love how we got hit with twist after twist the mind games went crazy
kabuto is a saint , his glasses shine bright
Is miss the og naruto. This sinister aura and uncomfortable atmosphere. Even the music is perfect 💎
kabuto is an underrated legend.
this 100%, hes my favorite character in naruto
Those were the days 🍥✨
When kabuto was such a mysterious character
The soundtrack of OG Naruto cannot be beat!!!
Some of the confrontations in early Naruto were brilliant; always like two opponents trying to outplay each other in a chess game, with real tension
Remember when Naruto was about ninjas?
It still is. Boruto (the character, not the series itself) is still using Ninjutsu instead of relying on his OP Otsusuki powers. In Two Blue Vortex he learns the Flying Raijin.
Nah it's very Dragon Ballish@@bladeofizanami
@@ivaerz4977 In terms of power scaling, yeah. But a shift from ninjas to gods isn’t bad imo.
@@ivaerz4977 First scene of Naruto was literally a giant fox destroying the village
A dead person's body was manipulated in this exact fight.
How is that ninja-like? 😭
Make Naruto Great Again
If there’s anything certain in the show, it’s that Anbu always loses, unless you are a named one.
I love Naruto when it was about ninja - before Rinnegan, Susanoo and nuclear bomb jutsus.
1:03 wait, doesn’t this contradict what we learn about him in Shippuden? Or is this supposed “father” also one of Orochimaru‘s spies? Or how does this make sense in the story? Was it retconned?
Adopted I believe was the cover story
I think he was the son of chief medical corps but he had amnesia so he doesn't remember anything before meeting that orphanage
It's his cover story
Naruto is one of my favorite animes ever, believe it!
Back when Kabuto was his own ninja and was extremely dangerous and competent.
This was the good stuff, when the show was still about being ninjas
Then it basically became dragon ball with kunais
Kabuto was my favorite in the early days. I thought he was so cool.
“I outsmarted your outsmarting with my outsmarting” ahh moment
That’s what makes it great though
The anime that got me into anime
Now this the Naruto series I like and remember.
Fitting y’all upload this as I just finished reading the Chunin exams on the Shonen Jump app!
Kabuto is still my favorite character in naruto, very underrated
In just that lil cut scene, Kakashi was out of chakra Lol
Me sorprende que aún no saquen una versión de alta calidad.
When hard work, skills and strategy still meant something.
Nah the iq from both kabuto and kakashi is insane.
Kabuto one of few underlinings thar actually surpass there boss
I was thinking that maybe my childhood memory was lying to me and maybe the series wasn't that good, so I looked for fragments and it really was spectacular.
type of scenes that had you on the edge of your seat.
Naruto is the best!
Kabuto deserves more recognition from the fandom.
Funny how Kabuto would then search for Sasuke before/during the War Arc, and ended up saving his life 😂
I miss the old soundtrack
back when kabuto wasn’t completely loyal to orochimaru, shippuden ruined him
Kabuto was badass facing kakashi like that
2:40 Watchfulnessly look: he was meant to fall on the ground, not in the tree.
Sitll I'm getting goosebumps
They fighting like ninja instead of blowing up terrains and throwing the biggest jutsu they can.
I love kakashi he is awesome 😊
2:47 never understood this part
The first ninja to out smart kakashi
Now: Kakashi let's fly kabuto.
Then two month later: rasenganed by Naruto
Naruto has a PS5 game I haven't played it yet but I'm still waiting and working on it.
Kabuto is so cool tbh but only before he got all snake-obsessive, he was like on an evil spy on an evil espionage. He was so cool, tactical, and conniving. You know like an actual ninja lol
this is the most underrated rivalry in the series, they should've fought more
