it just as interesting as any of the other back stories. You have a character that has no identity. By saying he was an orphan then met oro doesnt give a reason to why he does what he does. Thats horrible character development if you have somebody just do stuff just because.
His backstory is why he was intrigued by naruto to begin with. He also was a nothing but it was his goal to make everyone acknowledge him. Kabuto was a nobody but he found an identity within Oro. And do you not know Kishi's writing style. he's always given backstories in the middle of fights
