I'm just so confused about the orochimaru part. WTF MAN
I don't think that Orochimaru is actually alive. I think that the scroll has information on Orochimaru's techniques, as well as the location of Orochimaru's REAL body (corpse). If you remember back to when we first saw Orochimaru, he had already switched bodies with a young woman, and that would mean that his original body is someplace else.
Then after his fight with Hiruzen, where his arms were sealed, he had to switch bodies again, and then Sasuke was supposed was supposed to be his final body. Now, don't get me wrong, I want to think it's possible that Orochimaru could actually still be alive, but last time we saw him 'not dead' he was being sealed by Itachi.
Granted, I do realize that a tiny snake was able to get away from Itachi, and that could have been Orochimaru, but it was burned by Amaterasu flames, so there's little chance that it would actually survive.
But then Sasuke says he doesn't believe Orochimaru would die so easily, and that brings up the point that he could still be alive. Well, it is possible that the little snake did survive, but at that point, does the little Oro snake have the ability to do a body switch?
If not, then I think that Oro is gone for good, and Sasuke is actually going to find his real body and use Sharingan to learn its secrets.
Thoughts?
