Orochimaru summoning a snake?

[Iznogoud]

But he does use hand seals...

no he does hand seals and bites his tumm. well as soem people already said 3rd sealed away orochimarus arms and without arms you cant do jutsus. orochimaru can only use taijutsu and manda summoning(help by kabuto) right now. thats why he is so desperate to find a cure for his arms.

[XwingRob]

Hmm, do you think Kabuto will teach Sasuke the Snake summoning technique, or will it be Orochimaru?

[Hatake Kakashi]

Jeez, who knows what is going to happen.

I doubt Kabuto will teach him it, since Orochimaru has a good body again after all.

I am curious to see what he is capable of doing in this new vessel. The guy who won the Battle Royale whipped all those guys and he didn&#39;t even break a sweat.

[PSJ]

yea but the arm seal was done on his soul not on the body he was in which means he still cant use his arms. at least in theory

[Iznogoud]

I thought the third hokage stole all his jutsus before dying...
How is Orochimaru able to summon the snake boss while confronting Jiraya and Tsunade ?
I mean...he&#39;s still badly hurt and should have no jutsu at all...
Anyone thought about that already ?
(If this has been posted already then sorry but didn&#39;t find it)

[gaara]

his arms were sealed, not stolen jutsu.

[Raven]

Kabuto performed the seals using Oro&#39;s blood. The blood is the key.

[Insomniac]

apparently it doesnt matter who performs the seal as long as the blood is one of the people who signed the contract.

Orochimaru has a tattoo on his arm too, if you saw when he was disguised as a sound nin - i dunno if thats of any relevance but thats what he smeered blood on the first time.

but yeah Kabuto used Orochimarus blood and then he performed the seals - which is pretty damn amazing considering he summoned manda, and two giant snakes after fighting Tsunade.

[Raven]

I really have to say, all this suggests that Kabuto is probably ahead of Kakashi... to be able to go toe to toe with one of the legendary 3 then summon manda then take a resengan to the gut, that&#39;s pretty impressive.

[Hyuga Koji]

Then what would be the point of taking over Sasuke&#39;s body?

The 3rd didn&#39;t have enough strength when he was dying to get Orochimaru&#39;s soul so he settled for his arms knowing he wouldn&#39;t be as much of a threat without them.

Afterall how could Tsunade heal his soul?

Now that Orochimaru&#39;s in a new body he should be able to use all his jutsus again (the 3rd&#39;s jutsu wasn&#39;t able to eat through his arms completely) after taking time to get used to his new body.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I don&#39;t think the 3rd sealed his soul arms or whatever.

I think he thought that if Orochimaru didn&#39;t have the use of his arms, then he couldn&#39;t change bodies again, and could never use jutsu again.

Ofcourse he was wrong and now he has a new body.

I think he was even sitting in a chair and putting his arm to his head as a head rest...

So in short, he might be able to use his arm

[Iznogoud]

Oh...i guess i&#39;ll just have to read it again then
Kabuto&#39;s insane i hope we see him and kakashi fight
By the way we haven&#39;t seen all of kakashi&#39;s powers...Remember he copied thousands of jutsus...
Plus he&#39;s said to be a genius so he&#39;ll probably use the best combination everytime...
And he was able to stay alive after fighting itachi and his bud...which might be quite hard(ok ok gai saved him but... ^^ )

[Nine Tailed Demon]

I still think Kakashi is on the same level as Kabuto.

[itachi_]

Sometimes they don&#39;t use their hands to perform a jutsu, it&#39;s not every time they do the handthings to perform a jutsu, sometimes they just &quot;do&quot; a jutsu without the hands.

[Iznogoud]

I think it&#39;s necessary for a ninpou though...and you need the blood too.

[Assertn]

naruto never uses a tattoo or marking of any sort when he summons frogs though

[DaRk-SeRpEnT]

well im thinking maybe if he switches bodies then maybe orochimaru&#39;s sould kind of merges with the other persons soul which then heals his arms by taking another persons soul arms

[moridin]

Kabuto used a soldier pill...

mmmm...i didn&#39;t understand how he switched bodies either...i mean, I thought the 3rd actually stole the jutsus but apparently not....oh well, makes for a more interesting story.

That&#39;s what I&#39;ve been thinking.We haven&#39;t seen Kabuto actually fight,he was even holding back againist Tsunade.(if he wasn&#39;t,we would have saw the true Kabuto).I don&#39;t think Kakashi is near Kabuto.We know what Kakashi has,but Kabutos mystery is hiding his true potential.
