Tch. Well, he's no "Black Zetsu", that's for sure.
Anyway, I think Kakuzu was just some rogue ninja who wanted to prolong his life. He killed so many people, one day, he just decided to pull a "Madara" and steal body parts from people.
I seriously doubt it's a Kekkei Genkai, since Kakuzu has multiple blood flows with different blood (otherwise, Hidan's little ritual would've killed all of his hearts). Also, a Kekkei Genkai doesn't explain the masks.
I think Kakuzu is an accumulation of modifications that he made to himself over time, sort of like a precursor to Orochimaru (he IS older by an indefinite number of
decades).
As for when Kakuzu fought Shodai, I think it may've happened after the founding of Konoha, when Madara was gone. Madara probably hired him to take Shodai out, and Kakuzu stormed the village and began a massacre. Shodai hears about a "monster" tearing up his village, rushes to the scene, fights off Kakuzu, Kakuzu escapes... That's how I see it.
