That is not true. This is the only time we have seen a body reject Oro, he was in his previous body for a long time and he was only forced to leave it because of what the fourth did. Oro said that only a strong body would be able to contain him long term which is why he wanted a body like Kimimaro's or the Uchiha's, namely Itachi but he had to settle for Sasuke. He is being rejected now because this body is too weak, remember he didn't plan on transferring to this body he was forced to because of what the third did.

Wtf is up with that?

So the body is starting to reject him. Is that because he's overtaxed it fighting the Kyuubi or do all his bodies burn out after 3 years?

If that's the case...what the hell? He's going through all this bullshit, just so he can get the Sharingan...for 3 years? How much are you really gonna be able to copy in 3 years?

I dunno, what are you all thinking?
Recently when we were wondering how Oro was able to get his arms back I came across an interesting theory concerning Oro and his jutsu. Apparently the data book describes Oro as a devourer of souls meaning instead of just transferring his soul from one body to another he actually eats that persons soul and absorbs their abilities, think something like Buu. The theory was that Oro actually eats the person's soul so he doesn't just take their body he eats their souls and takes all their knowledge, abilities etc.

So if Oro were to take Sasuke's body it would mean that after the period of time he is required to remain in the body after the initial transfer he would possibly be able to leave that body and go to another one but retain the abilities, namely the sharingan, he would have gained from Sasuke's body.

Now this theory makes sense and it would explain how Oro was able to get his arms back by simply switching to another body even though part of his soul was sealed. Plus it also makes alot of sense because other than that Oro having immortality would have been stupid because even if he could stay in Sasuke's body for its entire life span eventually the body would die and then he would have lost the sharingan. This theory makes a lot of sense and it explains why Oro was so feared and why he would go through the trouble of creating the jutsu in the first place.
