I was watching a review of a Naruto chapter when the reviewer suggested that Madara was behind Orochimaru's downfall.
This would actually explain a great deal of the manga:
Senju DNA: Where did Orochimaru get the Hashi DNA he used in his experiments? Hashirama's body should be dust by now, and considering he claimed he implanted the DNA in several children he somehow got it from somewhere. However if he knew Madara then it would explain it, Madara gave him the DNA.
Former Member of Akatsuki: Orochimaru is a former member of the Akatsuki, however can you really see the guy joining a group if he didn't have a motive especially if he wasn't incharge. If he was in on the Eye of the Moon Plan, then that would explain it.
Flashbacks: Kishi has been very vague on Oro's backstory, yet recently we learn that he had a big reason for wanting to destory Konohagakure. And Jiraya mentioned that Orochimaru lost his parents at a young age, under the Infinite Tsukuyomi Oro would be reunited with (illusions) of his dead family.
Obsession with Sharingan: Orochimaru's desire to get a Sharingan would be explained if he had met someone like Madara.
Where Kabuto got the Body: Kabuto somehow got Madara's corpse, how would this be possible unless he had been told where it was located. Also its implied Oro experimented on the body, by Kabuto (when Madara first used Mokuton.)
Kabuto was aware that Obito wasn't the real Madara, despite Obito fooling everyone else in the series.
This all fuels my belief that Oro and Madara knew each other, and when we look at the timeline it does fit considering Madara lived long enough to meet Obito.
This also fuels my theory that Sasuke and Orochimaru are going to join Madara and Obito rather then the Alliance.
What are your thoughts?
