The whole snake thing seems too organic for it to be some random jutsu he learned by dissecting a guy.

We know oro used to be in the akatsuki, and we also know that two other demons have been captured prior to shukaku.
We also know that the akatsuki are real interested in taking oro down.

I'm just trying to connect the pieces

This made me laugh. Sounds like the ultimate in lame filler concepts. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Keep in mind that Naruto is unconscious right now, and is controlled entirely by kyubi. I doubt kyubi would bust out a rasengan.
