Kabuto doesn't intend to surpass Oro at least not at this point. He seems to be content with merely serving him and helping him achieve his goals. He even offered Oro his body to use during the Sasuke retrieval arc.

I think Kabuto working as a double or I suppose he was a triple agent makes alot of sense. If he was working as a spy for Orochimaru not only in the leaf but also in Akatsuki that would explain why Orochimaru was always able to stay one step ahead of them and why they were never able to find him.
You are absolutely...100%...confusing Kabuto with Kimmimaru.

Nothing the show has ever shown us has ever shown ANY of what you described. In fact, when Orochimaru isn't standing right next to him, Kabuto is usually considering betraying him(like when he was considering killing Sasuke to ruin that particular plot of Orochimaru). The only times Kabuto acts like a loyal, obedient servant who only wants to help Orochimaru...is when Orochimaru is WITH him, which, der, he's a spy, he's fucking faking.


There's some reason why Kabuto serves Orochimaru, and it isn't because he loves him. It's either because Sasori wanted him too, or because Orochimaru has something he wants. Whatever it is, the show hasn't revealed it yet.
