It terms of the Naruto series, does Orochimaru have a soul? If he does have a soul, would it be possible for him to be brought back via edo tensei?

Orochimaru has been known to store his consciousness within curse mark seals so he can later be revived, but lets say for example Kabuto or Tobirama killed Orochimaru to later revive him with edo tensei using his DNA.

If someone were to revive Orochimaru via curse mark similar to how Sasuke did, would that prevent edo tensei Orochimaru from being summoned?

If Kabuto or Tobirama summoned Orochimaru via edo tensei, would that erase his consciousness stored within a cursemark?

Would it be possible for an Edo Orochimaru to coexist with a revived Orochimaru?

No, it wouldn't be possible due to the fact that he isn't dead. Orochimaru is living within thousands of people, meaning you'll have to kill them first, then Orochimaru to be be able to summon him.

yes to revive someone with edo tensei, his soul must reside in the pure word (naruto afterlife), if the person is alive or the soul is in the impure world (narutoverse) then he cannot be revived

Orochimaru is pretty much Voldemort V2; you have to destroy/kill his Horcruxes (the hundreds of people bearing his Curse Seals) to actually "kill" him.

PS: Wtf does Michael Jackson have to do with this thread l0l?

The soul has to be in the pure world. If the soul isn't there then it can't be resurrected. For a soul to be in the pure world, I would say that the majority of the lifeforce/chakra the person had, must not be sealed (and if it is sealed it can't be sealed in a way where they can come back).

All of Orochimaru's chakra is either sealed or in his current self. I would say he couldn't be summoned via edo tensei. He has a soul as posted above, but it would seem that in the Naruto universe, souls are linked to the person's chakra.

His soul will just jump in Edo if they do that.

After they do that, he couldn't be summoned by Curse Seal.

Morally, no.
Literally, I think so. It's just that he's damn good at keeping it. Orochimaru is the victim of two soul sealing Jutsus, and he's still alive. Awesome.

Oh, my apologies, I thought it was an Orochimaru cosplay.
