Didnt realize this before did you? Now you wont forget that only sasori can contradict himself. *cough* And kishi
I can judge if you need me to. I think Tobirama solos both mid diff at best, since he turns left and pecker slaps anyone. One shot ability on Shin Sūsenju level.

The first three letters in Sasuke's name are the same as the first three letters in Sasori's name, therefore Sasuke > Orochimaru.

To start off, I would like to note that both of them pretty much know about each other's abilities so neither one of them would be capable of surprising the other. The only exception happens to be Orochimaru's trump card; Yamata no Jutsu. However, it shall easily be dealt with. I will establish that a bit later. As for now, let us discuss about the Kuchiyose of both Sasuke and Orochimaru. The latter's Kuchiyose consists of; Manda [
You must be registered for see links
] and three Kyodaija [
You must be registered for see links
] while the former's Kuchiyose consists of only Aoda. [
You must be registered for see links
]
However, do not come to the wrong conclusion. Even if Orochimaru possesses the greater fire power when it comes to Kuchiyose, this so called fire power will only become Sasuke's new pets due to the Sharingan. As we have already seen in the manga, Manda has fallen prey to the Sharingan. [

You must be registered for see links
] It will be no different here for neither Manda nor the Kyodaija as they will only become Sasuke's new pets. Orochimaru shall recieve the punishment Manda promised him. [
You must be registered for see links
] Manda actually may as well come to Sasuke's side this time considering that both of them wish to end Orochimaru's life in this battle.With the Kuchiyose being on Sasuke's side, Orochimaru would have no other choice, but to enter the battle against Sasuke himself.

#OrochimaruIsPedoBearSnake
#MystodonStillThirsty
Alright, I shall begin with CQC in which Sasuke is clearly the superior one. However, in order for you to not doubt this, I shall bring forth the proof as to why this is the truth. In the manga, Sasuke has already fought and defeated countless Otogakure Shinobi [
You must be registered for see links
] without a blood drop in return [In other wordy; Without a scratch]. Nor did he actually have the intent to kill as stated by Orochimaru himself. [
You must be registered for see links
]
Unfortunately for the snake, this isn't the only ability of Sasuke's that puts him above Orochimaru when it comes to CQC combat. The young Uchiha has already copied even some of Rī's techniques and created his own out of them such as the Shishi Rendan. [
You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links
] Even in his battle against Gaara, Sasuke has proven that his Taijutsu is on par with even Rī's own. [
You must be registered for see links
] What makes him even more impressive in CQC is the fact that even an experienced Samurai [A type of warriors which specialize in CQC] like Mifune acknowledged Sasuke's Kenjutsu mastery. [
You must be registered for see links
]
And of course, Ninjutsu is also a factor here. Fortunately for Sasuke, his CQC Ninjutsu is indeed superior to Orochimaru's own since Orochimaru's only CQC Ninjutsu happens to be Sen'eijashu [
You must be registered for see links
] which Sasuke has shown to use as well. [
You must be registered for see links
] Not that it matters since Sasuke will easily deal with them with his Kenjutsu mastery just like he did in the manga. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] However, if Sasuke finds the Snakes to be too overwhelming [Which is doubtful] then he shall proceed to enter his Ten no Juin Bājon Ni and rip apart the snakes with his wings. [
You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links
] If you by any chance believe that it usually takes that long for Sasuke to transform, you are incorrect. As seen in his battle with Deidara, when Sasuke stepped on one of Deidara's Kibaku Jirai, he was capable of reacting [
You must be registered for see links
] and transforming before the mine went off and we know this because his transformation saved him from the explosion. [
You must be registered for see links
]
With the Sen'eijashu being ineffective against Sasuke, Orochimaru will be forced to only parry against Sasuke if he is to enter CQC with him which would undoubtedly happen sooner or later. However, this won't be a problem for Sasuke since I have already shown that Sasuke is a lot better when it comes to Taijutsu or Kenjutsu. Furthermore, even someone like Hiruzen was capable of parrying with Orochimaru perfectly fine. [
You must be registered for see links
] Let's not even forget how Hiruzen had problems moving Enma due to his old age. [
You must be registered for see links
] Anyways, Orochimaru won't be capable of keeping up with Sasuke in CQC due to the fact that not only is Sasuke better at Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, Sasuke can also use the Chidori Nagashi to paralyze Orochimaru once he comes close [
You must be registered for see links
] [This can also be used to counter Orochimaru's Sen'eijashu by the way] and then he can simply cut off his head or something similiar to that. There is also the fact that Sasuke can simply envelope his Kusanagi with Chidori and cut throught Orochimaru's own Kusanagi [
You must be registered for see links
] so Orochimaru won't be capable of deflecting Sasuke's Kusanagi attacks with his own Kusanagi.
Of course, now we come to the final reason as to why Sasuke if definitely superior in CQC; the Sharingan. With the Sharingan's ability to predict movements [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
], Sasuke will be capable of easily countering all of Orochimaru's CQC abilities. Now, let's look into some of Sasuke's Sharingan feats such as being able to predict and counter even someone like Ēi's attack. [
You must be registered for see links
] There is also the fact that he was capable of predicting and evading Bī's attack while he was in his Gyūki Cloak. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] Realistically, Orochimaru shouldn't even be capable of laying a single finger on Sasuke in CQC.
Now that we have covered CQC, I would like to talk about Sasuke's Shunshin now. I'll be honest and go ahead and claim that Sasuke's Shunshin is actually as good, no, probably even better than Minato's own. Let me establish as to why this is true.
Sasuke's Shunshin Feats
→ 1] The first feat I would like to bring up is in his battle against Deidara. In this scan, Deidara is just as big as Sasuke's head [
You must be registered for see links
] and then he suddenly appears in front of Deidara, shocking him without the latter even realizing when Sasuke made the move. [
You must be registered for see links
] He even commented on Sasuke's speed by stating ''He's fast!''.
→ 2] Sasuke is standing right bellow Deidara [
You must be registered for see links
] and then suddenly he appears behind him. [
You must be registered for see links
] Deidara has no idea when Sasuke got behind him and is shocked, barely escaping his attack.
→ 3] Sasuke and his team appear to be as big as the prisoner's arm [
You must be registered for see links
] and then Sasuke suddenly appears behind him while cutting his chest open and both Karin and Suigetsu now seem a little smaller than Sasuke's head. [
You must be registered for see links
] He covered such a distance in a blink of an eye.
→ 4] Deidara is forced to use Shī Tsū because he thinks that 'Sasuke's movements are definitely too fast'. [
You must be registered for see links
] Please look at Deidara's size and the Dragon's size. [
You must be registered for see links
] Now check out the size of the explosion. [
You must be registered for see links
] Sasuke escaped the explosion and Deidara comments on his speed once again, saying 'Damn, he's fast!'.
→ 5] Next, Sasuke appears to be half the size of Naruto's head. [
You must be registered for see links
] Same can be said for Naruto. [
You must be registered for see links
] Then suddenly Sasuke appears down, holding Naruto's shoulder and shocking him. [
You must be registered for see links
] Yamato comments on his speed. Sasuke covered such a distance in a flash [
You must be registered for see links
] while Sakura didn't even notice when he made the move given her comment. [
You must be registered for see links
]
→ 6] This may or may not be as impressive as the Shunshin feats above, but I'll still add it. Sasuke was capable of evading Bī's attack [
You must be registered for see links
] and Bī comments on how no one except Ēi was capable of avoiding Bī's attack.
→ 7] At the Kage Summit, Sasuke was capable of appearing in the meeting room and no one was capable of noticing it until he made a cut on one of the curtains which shocked those present in the room in that moment. [
You must be registered for see links
] Please note that he was fast enough to cut all three of the curtains in the room present at that time as well.
Sasuke's Shunshin shall be useful against someone like Orochimaru considering that he got blitzed by Naruto. [
You must be registered for see links
] And this didn't happen only once. Orochimaru barely evaded Naruto's Chakra Arm seeing as it cutted off a few strands of his hair. [
You must be registered for see links
] You can see the hair right above the Chakra Arm. Neither could he evade Kyūbi's attack. [
Now that I have shown you how exactly fast Sasuke is, the time to talk about Genjutsu has come. You could argue that Orochimaru won't look into Sasuke's eyes and there, Genjutsu is countered. However, this isn't true since we have seen that despite being owned by Genjutsu, Orochimaru is too cocky not the look into an Uchiha's eyes since even after his battle with Itachi, he still kept on having eye contact with Sasuke. [
You must be registered for see links
][
You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see links
] Eventually it even led to his own defeat at Sasuke's hands. [
You must be registered for see links
][
You must be registered for see links
]
No matter what you believe, Orochimaru shall look into Sasuke's eyes and then he shall be caught within a Genjutsu. However, I shall not rely on Genjutsu that much anyways. Sasuke is no Itachi after all. He won't just spam Genjutsu after Genjutsu like Itachi does. None the less, Genjutsu will still be an effective weapon against someone like Orochimaru since it can be used to counter his own trump card; Yamata no Jutsu.
Alright. Let me show you how Sasuke can triumph against the Yamato no Jutsu. It's simple really. Just like with Deidara's explosives, the attacks of this heads will simply be evaded by Sasuke. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] Not to mention that Sasuke will predict the attack pattern of this snakes, making it even more easier to evade. Now to actually finish of the Hydra, Sasuke will proceed to cut of it's heads with a fast Chidori Eisō just like it cutted Deidara's Dragon's wing. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] Also this jutsu is capable of extending up to five meters as stated by Deidara. [
You must be registered for see links
]
And of course like I said, these snakes can easily be dealt with Genjutsu considering that they share the same body and the same Chakra signature. One of the snakes will look into Sasuke's eyes and they shall fall under his Genjutsu. If anything else fails, Kirin will end this.
Concerning Mandara no Jin. While I must admit that Sasuke probably can't take them down on his own except for using Kirin due to the number of the snakes [
You must be registered for see links
], this is where Aoda or Manda comes into play. By summoning one of them, Manda or Aoda should be capable of overpowering the smaller snakes quite easily due to the fact that they are way bigger [
You must be registered for see links
] and due to the fact that the smaller snakes can't damage either one of them while Sasuke can simply ride on top of one of them. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] Also, Sasuke has the ability to fly as stated by Deidara so he could simply fly over those small snakes. [
You must be registered for see links
][
You must be registered for see links
]
Attacks from underground won't be helpful either due to the fact that not only can Sasuke see Orochimaru moving underground just like he saw Deidara's explosives [
You must be registered for see links
], he will also be able to react in it time due to the fact that he was capable of reacting to Deidara's mine [
You must be registered for see links
] by transforming and flying up as stated by Deidara himself. [
You must be registered for see links
] He was also capable of escaping Deidara's explosive at close range quickly. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] This just shows that Sasuke is capable of reacting in the last minute especially since he will see the ground cracking first. [
You must be registered for see links
] Not to mention that he could trick Orochimaru with a Hebi Bunshin. [
You must be registered for see links
]
With that being said, the only thing left is Orochimaru's Orochimaru-Ryū no Kawarimi no Jutsu. Unfortunately for him, he can only use it up to three times in a battle [
You must be registered for see links
][
You must be registered for see links
][
You must be registered for see links
] due to the fact that it takes too much Chakra and Sasuke knows this. He can just keep on pushing and killing Orochimaru with his speed until he runs out of Chakra due to using the Orochimaru-Ryū no Kawarimi no Jutsu and since Orochimaru can't really defend himself from Sasuke's speed, this won't be that much of a problem.
If anything else fails, Sasuke still has Kirin which would undoubtedly kill Orochimaru due to the fact that it would completely destroy his body since it managed to destroy [
You must be registered for see links
] something as huge as the Uchiha hideout [
You must be registered for see links
] and he needs to have some of his old body in order to produce a new one from it. All Sasuke has to do is gather the thunder clouds by flying and releasing Katons at the sky. [

Opening Music
Oro's Speed
You Say Sasuke has the advantage in the speed category however realize that both Sasuke and Oro have a 4.5 in speed according to the DB, Sasuke may have the advnatage in QUANTITY of speed feats but Oro's are none the less impressive. He was able to travel from here
You must be registered for see links
to here
You must be registered for see links
With utmost ease as you can tell from his body position, and neither Yamato or Kabuto could see him coming...Not even the 3 shinobi watching the interaction from a distance could see Orochimaru coming
You must be registered for see links
Another feat is that he was able to traverse this Distance
You must be registered for see links
In very little time at all
You must be registered for see links
You used Sasuke avoiding Deidara's C2 mines as a feat for his shunsin correct? Oro has had a similar feat of speed when he avoided underground chakra arms from Naruto
You must be registered for see links
The fact that he started moving before they even exited the ground is an attribute to his Reactions.
He can also change his form into that of a snake which then increases his speed even more so
You must be registered for see links
Even blitzing the 4 Tails naruto
You must be registered for see links
Anyways Sasuke may be fast, but according to the DB and Even some feats, Oro is by no means comparatively slow
Oro's CQC Skills
First off something i had to point out is that you seem to think this
You must be registered for see links
Is the jutsu known as Striking Shadow Snakes, when actually its a paralysis Jutsu
You must be registered for see links
. Don't bother trying to say it would work on Oro because you realize where all these jutsu that Sasuke utilizes came from right? ...Oro himself, so its foolish too think he wouldn't be able to counter it. So while Oro can be attributed to using Shadow snakes with extreme precision
You must be registered for see links
And speed
You must be registered for see links
He was fast enough to catch the speeding Chakra hand before it crushed him, Which means it should be able to intercept Sasuke as well..And impede any incoming speed Blitzes. Now Oro may be arm-less however he can still utilize his Kusunagi.
Not only can he use it but he can launch it at great speeds at his opponents
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
This can come in great use when Sasuke is trying to overcome Oro in CQC... However Since you made this Armless oro he would most likely want to stay away from Sasuke. And use Ranged attacks
Another way Ororchimaru can keep his distance is by utilizing his tongue extension, which as evident in
You must be registered for see links
scan can be launched at high velocities,which means this can also be used to impede any of Sasuke's incomming speed blitzes that he would most likely try to achieve here
He also can use his head Extension here if needed but it is rather risky and most likely he would avoid it.
You must be registered for see links
Even when Sasuke gets Close To Orochimaru, Oro's sword skills are not to be overlooked
You must be registered for see links
He was able to fight on par with Hiruzen, when he was using Enma as a weapon none the less. And as i said, Shadow Snake's could really tilt the CQC battle in Oro's favor
You must be registered for see links
.Now i'm assuming when we decided armless we meant how he was going up against Naruto in Shippuden, so his arms can still function fairly well just not perform high level Jutsu. So if Sasuke were to deal a fatal blow to Orochimaru in a CQC situation, as we all know Oro can deal just fine with pain, if he even feels it at all
You must be registered for see links
All he would need to do is use Body Replacement Jutsu, and then IMMEDIATELY Use his Kusunagi's levitation prowess
You must be registered for see links
To Impale Sasuke who is unsuspectingly still impaling the old body of Orochimaru, obviously he would drop his sword as to allow this strategy to take place.
One last thing to point out here is that Sasuke mostly utilizes his Chidori too from sharp shapes that slash and pierce the opponent, First off if Sasuke stabbed Orochimaru With his Chidori Spear, or any variant of Chidori including his sword, know that its not doing much , Oro himself stated that a sword wound as big as Totska piercing right through him is futile and would barely hurt him
You must be registered for see links
So its laughable to think that a small wound such as Sasuke's sword or Chidori is going to halt him much...Now if he try's to slash Orochimaru with his sword/chidori i think we all know how that would end, He would merely connect himself back together with the use of his Snakes
You must be registered for see links
really in CQC there is not much Sasuke can do to put down Orochimaru, whereas it only takes one strike to connect, to finish Sasuke.

Genjutsu Countering
You must be registered for see images
Countering Shackling Stakes shouldn't be too much of a problem, i realize he has fallen for this multiple times however the easy counter has just come to me, as seen here
You must be registered for see links
Oro is still able to move his body somewhat, so all he needs to do is slightly open his mouth, and use the body replacement technique
You must be registered for see links
This will not only release him from the genjutsu, as he would of created a new brain from this technique meaning that Sasuke's genjutsu chakra will no longer be clouding it, and it will also allow him to get a head start on Sasuke, as he can spew out of his mouth with rather great speeds
You must be registered for see links
I thank you for not utilizing Genjutsu much in your opener, and i will counter everything towards the 8 Branch technique at a later time.
Merely Countering Your Shit
You must be registered for see images
For this i shall be Quote Countering you U_U As i find it easier
Concerning Mandara no Jin. While I must admit that Sasuke probably can't take them down on his own except for using Kirin due to the number of the snakes [1], this is where Aoda or Manda comes into play. By summoning one of them, Manda or Aoda should be capable of overpowering the smaller snakes quite easily due to the fact that they are way bigger [2] and due to the fact that the smaller snakes can't damage either one of them while Sasuke can simply ride on top of one of them. [3 → 4] Also, Sasuke has the ability to fly as stated by Deidara so he could simply fly over those small snakes. [5][6]
This is where you are wrong, the snakes can damage the Larger ones as a matter of fact, pretty severely as a matter of fact, each one of these snakes contain a Min-Kusunagi blade in their mouth
You must be registered for see links
, Now The Wiki tells me that they are Kusunagi blades, however you seem to always have acces to the Data Book, if it indeed says otherwise by all means let me know
The snakes can bite the enemy with their poison fangs and open their mouths to extend Kusanagi-like blades, making them even more deadly.
So you see the Kusunagi is stated to pierce everything, so the swords should no doubt be able to pierce through the tough skin, now you may think that they would be toothpicks compared to Manda and Aoda, and you are correct however, they still have their poison fangs with them, so the Small wholes in the tough skin created by the blades would then allow the Snakes to bite into the Large snake as it would now be a soft area underneath the skin,transferring the poison into the snake, and if even 1/10 of the snakes are able to accomplish this, that is 1000 snakes, 1000 snake like portions of poison entering Manda/Aoda, would surly paralyze if not kill them
You must be registered for see links
Now i suppose this is where i play my Trump card, The counter to Kirin
You must be registered for see images
Basically Sasuke can't use Kirin when its only Hebi Sasuke. U_U Look at this scan, see how large these Katons are
You must be registered for see links
They Dwarf the Juubi, and certaintly are extremely larger than Sasuke's Katons that he think activated Kirin
You must be registered for see links
Now look here
You must be registered for see links
There are clearly no clouds in the sky, nor does it begin raining at any time during this battle...What does this tell you? That basically Kirin can not be activated without the use of Amertarasu
You must be registered for see links
This was in fact the heat that changed the weather and was able to bring forth the Kirin. So basically, Kirin is negated with Hebi Sasuke at all times, and these snakes are still here.
Also i don't see how you can use the fact that Deidara said Sasuke can fly...as concrete proof that he can. Deidara saw wings so he assumed he could fly.... He never saw Sasuke fly nor has it ever been proven in the manga, at best he can glide. However this means he would have to land in the giant pit of snakes eventually.
Attacks from underground won't be helpful either due to the fact that not only can Sasuke see Orochimaru moving underground just like he saw Deidara's explosives [1], he will also be able to react in it time due to the fact that he was capable of reacting to Deidara's mine [2] by transforming and flying up as stated by Deidara himself. [3] He was also capable of escaping Deidara's explosive at close range quickly. [4 → 5 → 6] This just shows that Sasuke is capable of reacting in the last minute especially since he will see the ground cracking first. [7] Not to mention that he could trick Orochimaru with a Hebi Bunshin. [8]
You do realize that if Sasuke reacts to the underground attacks, the same way he reacted to Deidara's mines...He's dead? That is suicide, Oro's Kusunagi would then continue on up-wards surprising Sasuke I can imagine the face he would have as well as it clearly can extend in the air at great speeds and heights
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
Also for some reason or another, Oro knows when a clone is a clone
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
And wouldn't a snake clone help Orochimaru, he has control over snakes, they may even resort to his side, Orochimaru can also sense chakra
You must be registered for see links
, so he'd know where Sasuke is if he tries to hide and use the Hebi-clone as a distraction.
With that being said, the only thing left is Orochimaru's Orochimaru-Ryū no Kawarimi no Jutsu. Unfortunately for him, he can only use it up to three times in a battle [1][2][3] due to the fact that it takes too much Chakra and Sasuke knows this. He can just keep on pushing and killing Orochimaru with his speed until he runs out of Chakra due to using the Orochimaru-Ryū no Kawarimi no Jutsu and since Orochimaru can't really defend himself from Sasuke's speed, this won't be that much of a problem.
We agree'd to armless Orochimaru, not Sick and half-dead Orochimaru, He can use it plenty of times, and as i said, Sasuke's CQC attacks are not really going to force him to use that much anyways. AS well as the fact that Oro CAN handle Sasuke's speed just fine/
If anything else fails, Sasuke still has Kirin which would undoubtedly kill Orochimaru due to the fact that it would completely destroy his body since it managed to destroy [1] something as huge as the Uchiha hideout [2] and he needs to have some of his old body in order to produce a new one from it. All Sasuke has to do is gather the thunder clouds by flying and releasing Katons at the sky. [3]
I may be supporting Orochimaru, but now I'm 100% serious. No bias on my side. Your first debate post had so many false things in it, it's not even funny.
You Say Sasuke has the advantage in the speed category however realize that both Sasuke and Oro have a 4.5 in speed according to the DB, Sasuke may have the advnatage in QUANTITY of speed feats but Oro's are none the less impressive. He was able to travel from here

To be fair, the Databook scores aren't really something one can rely in a debate and I have noticed this. You see, both Sasuke and Deidara possess the same Databook speed score, however, even with that being true Sasuke still managed to surprise Deidara with his speed. [
You must be registered for see links
] And it happened twice. [
You must be registered for see links
] With this we can easily come into a conclusion that even if Character A has the same score in speed as Character B, that doesn't mean that Character A can keep up with Character B in speed.
Anyways, your first point in Orochimaru's speed is solid, however, I wouldn't rely on that since none of those shinobi were aware of Orochimaru's presence and they were shocked because he suddenly appeared. They believed that Kabuto was the Akatsuki's spy and that he wouldn't be followed. They never expected Orochimaru to appear given Yamato's comment. [1] What makes those speed feats you shown less impressive is the fact that Orochimaru didn't just blitz and keep up with them while they were aware of his presence. Unlike like with Sasuke who just blitzes his opponents without any sneak attacks, Orochimaru was sneaking up on them. Otherwise, we could state that Kakashi blitzed Kakuzu [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] when clearly Kakuzu was the one blitzing Kakashi. [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] As for Kabuto, he wasn't really shocked. Orochimaru and Kabuto planned to take down Hiruko by fooling Sasori [
You must be registered for see links
] and to do so, Kabuto had to act shocked so that Sasori [Or in this case; Yamato] didn't suspect anything.
Unlike Orochimaru, in all of the scans of Sasuke's Shunshin feats, the enemy was completely aware of his presence and they were focused on him. He even managed to blitz Deidara [
You must be registered for see links
], someone who potentially has better speed feats than Orochimaru considering how fast he evaded Gaara's Suna [
You must be registered for see links
→
You must be registered for see links
] and how he was capable of keeping up with the whole Team Gai. [
You must be registered for see links
] Sure, Orochimaru could potentially react to a few of Sasuke's first blitzes, but sooner or later he will just get overwhelmed by Sasuke's speed just like Deidara did so he had to fly off by increasing the power of his bombs. [
You must be registered for see links
] 'His movements are definitely too fast' as stated by Deidara himself. Unfortunately for Orochimaru, he does not possess the ability to fly.
Moving on. Your second point about Orochimaru's speed, well, I wouldn't rely on it considering that there were like five full manga pages before Orochimaru appeared back to the battlefield. Page 6 [
You must be registered for see links
] to Page 12. [
You must be registered for see links
] Plus there was a flashback so we can't come to a conclusion as how much time Orochimaru needed to come back. Also in that battle as I stated, Orochimaru was blitzed by Naruto's speed [

] which is far inferior to Sasuke's considering that we could actually see him covering the distance on panel [
You must be registered for see links
] unlike with Sasuke who just suddenly appears in front of the enemy in a flash.
As for your Kyūbi points, not bad, however, Orochimaru managed to avoid the hands from underground due to the fact that he saw the Kyūbi tear throught the ground and put his hands underground. [

] 'SFX:Hands go underground', Orochimaru: '!'. Hence why he started to move before the hands even came out. And in your second point, Orochimaru didn't really blitz him considering that if you look at the scan, you can see that Kyūbi's hands were stuck underground so he couldn't really move much. [

These speed feats of Orochimaru's in no way outclass Deidara's Shunshin and Sasuke has already shown to be way faster than Deidara so Orochimaru will get overwhelmed by his speed.

Now I'll be merely adding more examples of Sasuke's Shunshin that I forgot to add. In addition to the previous Shunshin feats I've shown, Sasuke has these as well;

Will Orochimaru be capable of keeping up with Sasuke? No, definitely not. Even the so called speed feats you shown are nothing compared to Sasuke's own considering that Sasuke has shown the ability to keep up with even people like Naruto. There is no way that Orochimaru is capable of keeping up with Naruto. The speed feats you shown are most likely on Deidara's level and do I need to remind you once again that Sasuke already surprised Deidara with his speed. Orochimaru could possibly react and defend from the first few blitzes, but eventually he will get overwhelmed.

Oro's CQC Skills
First off something i had to point out is that you seem to think this
You must be registered for see links
Is the jutsu known as Striking Shadow Snakes, when actually its a paralysis Jutsu
You must be registered for see links
. Don't bother trying to say it would work on Oro because you realize where all these jutsu that Sasuke utilizes came from right? ...Oro himself, so its foolish too think he wouldn't be able to counter it. So while Oro can be attributed to using Shadow snakes with extreme precision
You must be registered for see links
And speed
You must be registered for see links
He was fast enough to catch the speeding Chakra hand before it crushed him, Which means it should be able to intercept Sasuke as well..And impede any incoming speed Blitzes. Now Oro may be arm-less however he can still utilize his Kusunagi.
Not only can he use it but he can launch it at great speeds at his opponents
You must be registered for see links
You must be registered for see links
This can come in great use when Sasuke is trying to overcome Oro in CQC... However Since you made this Armless oro he would most likely want to stay away from Sasuke. And use Ranged attacks
Another way Ororchimaru can keep his distance is by utilizing his tongue extension, which as evident in
You must be registered for see links
scan can be launched at high velocities,which means this can also be used to impede any of Sasuke's incomming speed blitzes that he would most likely try to achieve here
He also can use his head Extension here if needed but it is rather risky and most likely he would avoid it.
You must be registered for see links
Even when Sasuke gets Close To Orochimaru, Oro's sword skills are not to be overlooked
You must be registered for see links
He was able to fight on par with Hiruzen, when he was using Enma as a weapon none the less. And as i said, Shadow Snake's could really tilt the CQC battle in Oro's favor
You must be registered for see links
.Now i'm assuming when we decided armless we meant how he was going up against Naruto in Shippuden, so his arms can still function fairly well just not perform high level Jutsu. So if Sasuke were to deal a fatal blow to Orochimaru in a CQC situation, as we all know Oro can deal just fine with pain, if he even feels it at all
You must be registered for see links
All he would need to do is use Body Replacement Jutsu, and then IMMEDIATELY Use his Kusunagi's levitation prowess
You must be registered for see links
To Impale Sasuke who is unsuspectingly still impaling the old body of Orochimaru, obviously he would drop his sword as to allow this strategy to take place.
One last thing to point out here is that Sasuke mostly utilizes his Chidori too from sharp shapes that slash and pierce the opponent, First off if Sasuke stabbed Orochimaru With his Chidori Spear, or any variant of Chidori including his sword, know that its not doing much , Oro himself stated that a sword wound as big as Totska piercing right through him is futile and would barely hurt him
You must be registered for see links
So its laughable to think that a small wound such as Sasuke's sword or Chidori is going to halt him much...Now if he try's to slash Orochimaru with his sword/chidori i think we all know how that would end, He would merely connect himself back together with the use of his Snakes
You must be registered for see links
really in CQC there is not much Sasuke can do to put down Orochimaru, whereas it only takes one strike to connect, to finish Sasuke.
Interesting. Yes, it looks like I have confused that jutsu with the Sen'eijashu. My mistake. However, Sasuke has shown the ability to use the Sen'eijashu in his fight with Deidara. [
You must be registered for see links
] Anyways, you say how Jagei Jubaku won't work on Orochimaru since he made the jutsu so he should have a counter to it. Yes, that counter happens to be Orochimaru-Ryū no Kawarimi no Jutsu which would take a lot of Chakra from Orochimaru so that would only aid Sasuke. As for your Sen'eijashu point, no, it should not be capable of intercepting Sasuke's speed blitzes considering that unlike with the hand, we can't see Sasuke even make a move while we can see the hand actually travelling. [
You must be registered for see links
] Sasuke just suddenly appears somewhere where he wants. Furthermore, Sasuke can just use Chidori Nagashi to paralyze the snake. [
You must be registered for see links
] Not to mention that Sasuke will predict the snake's movements so there is absolutely no way that snake could catch him. [
You must be registered for see links
] Throwing the Kusanagi at Sasuke will not work either since it can be simply evaded just like Sasuke evaded Ēi's attack. [
You must be registered for see links

The tongue extension tactic could help a little, but then again Sasuke is too fast for him and using tongue extension will just destroy his own Kusanagi considering that Sasuke will envelope his Kusanagi in Chidori and slice throught Orochimaru's own.
Anyways, Orochimaru's Sword skills and his snakes can't help him defend against Sasuke in CQC due to Sasuke's Chidori variants which can be used to simply cut throught Orochimaru's Kusanagi so he can't use it to defend himself or he can use Chidori Nagashi as soon as he gets close and paralyze both Orochimaru and his snakes. Not to mention that Sasuke's Taijutsu skills are far better as I have already shown. As for your Kusanagi levitating argument, actually, that won't work. Orochimaru can't trick Sasuke by shedding his skin and then using the Kusanagi levitation because Sasuke will be ahead of him at all times. You say that Sasuke would still be impaling Orochimaru's old body and that he won't expect it. However, Sasuke will not still be impaling Orochimaru's old body considering that he will predict Orochimaru's movement while he is getting out of his old body and also, the Sharingan can see Chakra so Sasuke will see a new body exiting out of Orochimaru's old body. [
You must be registered for see links
] As for the Kusanagi levitation itself, Orochimaru makes movements with his fingers [
You must be registered for see links
] which Sasuke will see due to the Sharingan just like he saw Deidara's hand sign [
You must be registered for see links
] and he will simply turn back and slice throught the Kusanagi with his own Chidori enveloped Kusanagi. Or he can simply defend himself with his wing. [
You must be registered for see links
] Anyways, you claim how Sasuke can't put down Orochimaru in CQC with simple slashes to his body? Oh, don't worry. Sasuke already knows this. That is exactly why Sasuke will aim for his head and throat. We have seen that Orochimaru cannot simply regenerate his neck or head and that is why he has to create a new body. [

Countering Shackling Stakes shouldn't be too much of a problem, i realize he has fallen for this multiple times however the easy counter has just come to me, as seen here
You must be registered for see links
Oro is still able to move his body somewhat, so all he needs to do is slightly open his mouth, and use the body replacement technique
You must be registered for see links
This will not only release him from the genjutsu, as he would of created a new brain from this technique meaning that Sasuke's genjutsu chakra will no longer be clouding it, and it will also allow him to get a head start on Sasuke, as he can spew out of his mouth with rather great speeds
You must be registered for see links
I thank you for not utilizing Genjutsu much in your opener, and i will counter everything towards the 8 Branch technique at a later time.
I must say, this is an interesting point, however, are you certain that Orochimaru still won't be in a Genjutsu considering that he makes a new body out of his old one which is in a Genjutsu? Anyways, unfortunately for Orochimaru, Magen isn't the type of Genjutsu Sasuke uses. Magen usually paralyzes people and they are fully aware that they are in a Genjutsu just like in the Genjutsu scan you've shown. Sasuke uses a type of Genjutsu that makes see what they want to see just like it did with Deidara against both Itachi [
You must be registered for see links
] and Sasuke. [
You must be registered for see links
] Even though Deidara saw throught the latter's Genjutsu due to the Genjutsu countering eye. Unless Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he is in a Genjutsu, Orochimaru will have no idea that he is in one and he will actually be attacking himself thinking that he is attacking Sasuke.

For this i shall be Quote Countering you U_U As i find it easier
This is where you are wrong, the snakes can damage the Larger ones as a matter of fact, pretty severely as a matter of fact, each one of these snakes contain a Min-Kusunagi blade in their mouth
You must be registered for see links
, Now The Wiki tells me that they are Kusunagi blades, however you seem to always have acces to the Data Book, if it indeed says otherwise by all means let me know
So you see the Kusunagi is stated to pierce everything, so the swords should no doubt be able to pierce through the tough skin, now you may think that they would be toothpicks compared to Manda and Aoda, and you are correct however, they still have their poison fangs with them, so the Small wholes in the tough skin created by the blades would then allow the Snakes to bite into the Large snake as it would now be a soft area underneath the skin,transferring the poison into the snake, and if even 1/10 of the snakes are able to accomplish this, that is 1000 snakes, 1000 snake like portions of poison entering Manda/Aoda, would surly paralyze if not kill them
I guess you could say that the snakes could potentially damage Aoda and Manda, however, that is unlikely. Considering Aoda's and Manda's size, all they have to do is just swallow up the smaller snakes in one attack and kill them that way. [

You must be registered for see links
] And don't take that 'Kusanagi can pierce anything' stuff. It failed to pierce the Chakra cloak. [
You must be registered for see links
] Furthermore, that is just an overstatement. Otherwise then I guess Domu is capable of tanking all of Obito's attacks since they are physical and that Sasuke is capable of blitzing Obito considering that his speed is god like and that it takes away breathes from the Akatsuki members. Anyways, the small daggers shouldn't be capable of piercing throught Aoda's nor Manda's skin due to the fact that Manda was capable of taking a small portion of Deidara's C0. [
You must be registered for see links
] And even if some snakes by some miracle manage to pierce Aoda or Manda, the poison will have to spread until they get paralyzed and considering the size of both Aoda and Manda, they have enough time to actually slaughter the snakes and attack Orochimaru as well. On a side note, either one of them could swallow Orochimaru and kill him that way.
----------
Anyways to prove that Hebi Sasuke is capable of using Kirin, well, Zetsu already did it for me. He stated that Sasuke gathered the thunder clouds by releasing a few Katons in the air [
You must be registered for see links
] unlike with Obito's and Madara's Katons which were released to the ground. Just read all that Zetsu said in that scan. Furthermore, Amaterasu was just there to fuel the jutsu. [
You must be registered for see links
] In other words, to make it strong enough to be capable of taking down the whole Uchiha hideout. Sasuke can either release more Katons this time to heat up the atmosphere a little more in order to fuel Kirin or he can just use a smaller scale Kirin since he doesn't need such a big ass Kirin to kill Orochimaru.
Also i don't see how you can use the fact that Deidara said Sasuke can fly...as concrete proof that he can. Deidara saw wings so he assumed he could fly.... He never saw Sasuke fly nor has it ever been proven in the manga, at best he can glide. However this means he would have to land in the giant pit of snakes eventually.
Deidara stated that Sasuke evaded his mine by flying up. [

You do realize that if Sasuke reacts to the underground attacks, the same way he reacted to Deidara's mines...He's dead? That is suicide, Oro's Kusunagi would then continue on up-wards surprising Sasuke I can imagine the face he would have as well as it clearly can extend in the air at great speeds and heights

You must be registered for see links
And wouldn't a snake clone help Orochimaru, he has control over snakes, they may even resort to his side, Orochimaru can also sense chakra
You must be registered for see links
, so he'd know where Sasuke is if he tries to hide and use the Hebi-clone as a distraction.
I agree about the clone part, good job, however I disagree with the underground attack being capable of hitting Sasuke. He was focused on Deidara and he didn't notice the bomb, but here he will be focused on Orochimaru and he will see him moving underground and he can counter it simply by moving away or by using Chidori Nagashi to paralyze Orochimaru as soon as he sees him coming up and then he can cut his head off. Not to mention that Sasuke evaded Ēi's attack so he won't have trouble evading this.
We agree'd to armless Orochimaru, not Sick and half-dead Orochimaru, He can use it plenty of times, and as i said, Sasuke's CQC attacks are not really going to force him to use that much anyways. AS well as the fact that Oro CAN handle Sasuke's speed just fine/
Actually no. These snakes aren't any different than the fodder Otogakure shinobi and Sasuke defeated countless of them. Sasuke should be capable of killing off these snakes even without Manda or Aoda. Especially considering that unlike the Shinobi, they are easier to kill.
