A Side Character, but Also a Part-Time Multiverse Villain

Some villains destroy the world by saying, "You call this destroying the world? What counts as destruction? And for that matter, what is the meaning of the world?"... Others do it because it's fun.

And Kabuto is: I (boku) just want to become myself (boku).

: Why did you start the Shinobi War?

Kabuto: So everyone could see me (boku)!

: Why did you revive the Impure World Reincarnation army?

Kabuto: I've already surpassed Lord Orochimaru!

: Why did you...

Kabuto: I've become the perfect sage!

: ...What is this mysterious boku guy?

Yakushi Kabuto was born a commoner.

His talent was maxed out, his execution was maxed out, and his passion was maxed out. His bad luck was maxed out too.

He should have been the passionate underdog protagonist who rose to the top, but he was dragged onto the path of villainy instead.

Kabuto: Even as a villain, I'll be the most perfect one!

Other villains: ...Why is he so fired up?

Yakushi Kabuto: I used the time other people spent eating to do evil, the time they spent sleeping to do evil, and the time they spent having fun to do evil. I've finally made a breakthrough in my research! Lord Orochimaru!

Huh? Why does Lord Orochimaru look a little dead?

He kept his head down and researched, passionately forging ahead. By the time he looked up, he had become the final boss.

Yakushi Kabuto: Wonderful! I'll become the most perfect villain!

The ability to reverse life and death, use Impure World Reincarnation, control inanimate objects, become immune to genjutsu, command an army of reincarnated dead, and stitch together a sage's body? Those are all a piece of cake. Who could possibly stop me?

Then Izanami came out of nowhere and punished him, banishing him to another world.

Kabuto: ...

Kabuto: Even banished to another world, I'll still be the strongest!

An honest guy showed up in Yokohama. He seemed like he had come straight from the countryside. He fixed people's pipes, did housework, took out the trash, and provided free medical care. I mean, when did Yokohama's simple, honest folk get a guy this wholesome?

The wholesome young man was determined to be a villain.

The evil mafia boss and the others: This guy has "easy to fool" written above his head, "easy to recruit" on his face, and "easy to use" in his eyes. I'm taking him on!

Yakushi Kabuto: (Studying) One underling leaves me a little underworked. Why can't I be a double, triple, or quadruple agent for the Port Mafia, the Special Division for Unusual Powers, and X other organizations?

Actual spy Sakaguchi Ango: You?!

Mori Ogai: Let's use this guy to take over and make me the boss.

Yakushi Kabuto: (Thinking) I'm a little underworked. Why can't I get the mafia boss to modify the human body, evolve beyond the need for sleep, and stay on standby for my project twenty-four hours a day?

Mori Ogai: You?!

Before he knew it, Yakushi Kabuto had worked himself ragged again, and there was hardly anything left for him to do.

Yakushi Kabuto: (Pondering) I'm a little underworked. Why not destroy a world and restart it?

Dazai: You?!
