I think it will be Jiraiya. I may be mistaken, but doesn't it say somewhere in the anime that only a Sannin would be able to defeat Orochimaru? That means either Jiraiya or Tsunade, but I don't think Tsunade will do it for some reason.

I think the overall toughest character in that list is Jiraiya, and that makes sense, depending on how close Kishimoto is going to stick to the old legend. I do think, however, that Kabuto will contribute, either directly or indirectly, to Orochimaru's demise.
Kabuto exhibits very little loyalty, and seems to have some motivation that is not yet revealed for working with Oro .. he's an interesting character, Kishimoto could take us in a number of different directions with this. I stand by my bet that there is a lot more to him than meets the eye ..
I kinda agree with you... but Kabuto's style is directly contributing, but making it seem indirect...
but I wanna see him lay waste with his Kabuto Rage thing..
During the third round of the Chuunin exam didn't Hokage mention that Kabuto's clan was wiped out during a battle with some Leaf Anbu while he was a kid. And that after the battle a female medical Anbu decided to take him in which would explain his healing techniques. So I figure his motivation for joining Oro is the fact that Leaf killed his family and he want's revenge.Kabuto exhibits very little loyalty, and seems to have some motivation that is not yet revealed for working with Oro

I'm gonna go with Jiraiya just because of similarities I see between Jiraiya and naruto and oro and sasuke and it seems like they have a relationship kind of like naruto and sasuke since they were kids and that's gonna be the way it's eventually settled and possibly set up some forshadowing of a naruto vs sasuke match later.
my votes on Kabuto. he seems very mysterious. and powerfull aswell. he might be hiding something.
I'm thinking Sasuke, because he's just the WRONG ONE to give the cursed seal to. Few things in the series got me as exited as seeing how evil he could be when he first used its power. If Orochimaru thought Itachi was a problem....I can't wait.

Oh yeah, cause a guy with no ninjitsu, genjitsu and only half his taijitsu poses a real challange...a lot of people want Oro dead, i would be supprised if none of them could take him on, so they all teamed up on him and kicked his ass
Well he has kabuto plus a jutsu where he can just get a new body so I'm thinking he won't be without working arms forever.
But without his arm's he can't do the hand seals to do that jutsu.

my thoughts are that even with a new body he would still be w/o the use of his arms. It wasn't as much the chakra of that body that was taken as much as it seemed to be the arms of his being/soul/whatever. So even when that being/soul is transfered his is still useless.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
why would gaara care if the kazekage is dead or not? for the past 6 years he's been trying to kill him, so im pretty sure gaara lost any sort of feelings for his dad.
and oro taking over another person's body may seem like a good idea to fix his arms...but keep in mind that the arms of his SOUL were stolen, not just his arms...so if he transferred his soul to another body, he should still be armless

So some1 (like kabuto) can take oro's hands and form the seals. While orochimaru can't do battle like that, its not a bad idea for a 1-time jutsu.
Also, does't the technique that stole his arms take his soul, not his body, so even by switching bodies, he's stilll missing that part of the soul that controls his arms.
The way it looks now, the mofo isnt gonna die ever. I was actually disappointed when he didnt eventually die after that attack and to be honest i was very annoyed that not even one bad guy, NOBODY!, died except Sarutobi O_o
I mean cmon at least that Sand jounin something, give us something to make us feel good. but no all we get are little ninjas being killed by konoha's finest. Even gaara after that big ass fight lived in the end.
The got it right with Zabuza back in the early eps. In the end his death was really nice and fuzzy and made you feel all good inside but that aint never gonna happen with Oro
@AssertnFailure
If you read again you might se why.
Im pretty sure Gaara would kill Kazekage in the future just because all the stuff you say. But now Orochimaru killed him so offcourse Gaara is pissed for not letting him have his ways with Kazekage.
Its just a theory [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] There are lots of ppl as said that probably want him dead and Jiraya and Tsunade could probably do it since they all are of the sannins.
Kabuto might be able to do it aswell he is hard to get a grip of.
Itachi for sure could fuck him up good cause he is the one that Orochimaru really wanted it seems, but cant cause he's to strong for even him.
In response to the but orochimaru no longer has his arms! He can't do anything!
Remember Zabuza? He gutted up ten guys and Gatoh with just his mouth and a throwing knife. Imagine what Orochimaru can do. He probably can shoot snakes outta his mouth or such being the freak of nature that he is.
@karasu: huh? read WHAT again to see why? before that last post, you didnt really explain gaara's motives for killing kazekage at all
gaara isnt the type to hold a grudge....he just kills whomever he feels like killing
i'm sure if he truly wanted to kill the kazekage, then he wouldve at least attempted to...but instead he spent 6 years just chillin and letting the assassins come....im sure he even ENJOYED the fresh meat kazekage was sending to his door.
when he went to the hospital to kill lee....he wasnt going to kill him because of any sort of grudge, he was going to kill him because lee was in gaara's mind an assassin who failed to kill him, and he failed to kill him back....and thus gaara had a little unfinished business to take care of
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
and theres me thinking it was because of the relationship that lee and gai share, if that isnt the case then why did they show you all the flash backs?
i'm gonna go ahead and say that i don't think oro is going to die before taking sasuke's body. after that, i think naruto is gonna have to kill oro/sasuke; his first kill will coincidentally be his best friend.
I think Oro will start forming seals with his toes!!! =-O
Or maybe get new arms if its possible, or a new body, if that will work.
I don't see him being killed unless he is able to post a threat again.
