[Spoilers] Coincidence? I think not!

[Punk Hazard]

Now I've been thinking and came to a conclusion: It's way too much of a concidence for both Sasuke and Kabuto to pick Karin, Juugo and Suigetsu. Here's what I think:

Kabuto was planning to betray Oro. Like Sasuke, he did some research. He found out all about the Dragon Sage Mode and decided to train in it himself. However, he knew Oro was strong and when he failed, Kabuto knew he would as well. So, he decided to do the next best thing: to incoporate Juugo's powers into himself since he also relied on Nature Energy, it was close enough. However, he didn't want the side-effects of becoming a maniac and didn't want to risk dying from Curse Mark. So, he decided to do some more research and be patient. While doing research, he concluded acquiring powers from Karin, Juugo and Suigetsu would be best, but that his body wouldn't be able to handle it. So, he decided to sabotage Oro. He purposely injected a virus into Kimmimaro so Oro wouldn't be able to get a new body. When he heard about Sasuke, that's when he decided to try and kill him in the hospital, but Kakashi intervened. Kabuto then decided to wait again. His chance came when Sasuke "killed" Oro and left some of his body behind. That's when Kabuto integrated Oro's DNA into his body. With his new and improved body, he integrated Juugo's, Karin's and Suigetsu's powers into himself, then went onto get Dragon Sage Mode.

Now back to the purpose of this thread: it was no mere coincidence that Sasuke and Kabuto chose the same people. I think while Sasuke was researching snakes in order to beat Oro, he came across Kabuto's data on Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo. After all, he had data on Leaf Ninja, how could he not have data on Sound Ninja as well? After defeating Oro, Sasuke realized he needed a team in order to fight Itachi. He remembered Kabuto's data on them and chose them for Hebi, later Taka.

Hmmm, I think it's possible. +rep.

 

[Ninpou]

I dont think so, cause Sasuke never knew Karin was an Uzumaki. Other than that: Good theory.

 

[-Hatake-]

Nice theory, +rep. xd

[OWanime]

it's definitely possible xd I like it

 

[Pandemoniu]

i dont think so. Sasuke took these peoples only because they where he strongest he would know

 

[Hipster Madara]

possible, but kind of a stretch

 

[White Fang18]

Could be why no, but don't you think you over thinking it? Sasuke didn't pick Karin for her recovery abilities, but for her ability to sense chakra, Juugo, well maybe Sasuke thought since he was the source of the Curse Mark and the original, he would be strong and a great asset to his team or group, and Suigetsu, since what he can do with his body, killing kim could be almost impossible, maybe that's why he pick all of them, but who knows.

Nice theory (+ REP)

 

[Jack Spicer]

Makes sense and this would give Jugo a reason to turn on Kabuto if they meet/fight, because he killed his best friend, Kimimaro.

Good idea. True? I don't know, but good.

 

[Voidstep]

Nope, Kabuto never wanted to betray Oro. He adimired Oro, and felt completely lost when he died. And passed some time one of his goals was to continue and improve Oros work.
And Sasuke picking the others for Taka team was most likely coincidence, since he was just looking for some strong members to join his team, and he didn't even knew Karin was an Uzumaki, he picked her cause she's one of the best sensors, and didn't knew Juugo could even gather nature energy.

 

[~Yubel~]

Nice theory +rep!

 

[lostintheocean]

the gathering of sasukes team was all sasuke, he had experience with each member before and knew how useful they could be with him on his journey
plus he wouldve known karin was an uzumaki if he got it from kabuto
if anything, kabuto got his research from sasuke after oro died

 

[Kwalker394]

Nice theory but Sasuke didnt know about it. When you read the manga he seemed shocked about the news that kabuto knew. Its possible but unlikely +rep

Thing is Sasuke knew of these 3 people how?! Its a really good theory by the OP. If either found out about them by word of mouth / rumours or he had met and trained against them during his time with Orichimaru. Failing that its as you said OP he came across some documents regarding these 3.

+Rep to the OP

It's possible, after all Dr. Snakes is a snake expert.
