Orochimaru's Sage Mode

[CurseSealofEarth]

I'm very curious if Orochimaru (with his new Senju DNA body) can he use his sage mode?

It was stated that he couldn't use it because of his host body not being strong enough to use it. Well now he's got a strong body that can use it. With his Hokage arsenal, Sage Mode, and his arms? I think we may be seeing the newest Arc being set up.

Maybe... And after absorbing his powers back from Kabuto, he prolly has the ability Jugo has to constantly absorb nature energy giving him unlimited sage mode.

Well I read on Wikipedia (take that for what it's worth) that none of his host bodies could maintain Sage mode.

Here i was thinking zetsus were fodder... He prob would be better with his old body or....... SASUKE's *licks lips*

I don't think it was his body that prevented him from learning Sage Mode. I'm fairly certain that it was something else. Most likely his personality, lack of patience, etc. Plus, the snakes didn't really seem to like him very much anyway. I don't think that Zetsu's body is going to change anything. Zetsu is made of Senju cells, but he is a very weak copy.

Bah, Wikipedia lied then.

Well even the slightest bit seems to do the job. I wouldn't put it past Kishi.

Orochimaru has mastered creating Senjutsu chakra, which is what he used to create his cursed seals. His host bodies were not strong enough to enter Sage Mode (whether because they just simply could not enter or because they couldn't enter without severe consequence is unclear). Kabuto said on one page that Orochimaru had not found a body that could gain Sage Mode. (

I think this is all part of the plan, because he did not tell sasuke that he was being followed by zetsu's on purpose because he saw a tactical advantage.

Zetsu never have to eat or sleep! they constantly regenerate themselves, So it might be the best body for Ororchimaru!

Correction, the reason Orochimaru never used sage mode wasnt because his body wasnt strong enough. It was because Sage mode could only be used after gather nature chakra from your surroundings, gathering this chakra takes time and requires you to sit perfectly still which is inconvenient while your fighting someone, this is why he never used sage mode. What he was trying to do, which is what kabuto finished, is to use jugo's family blood line which allows you to gather nature chakra while moving, this way he would be able to make use of sage mode. Sadly he died before he could finish leaving kabuto to pick up on what he started.
