Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-30241447-20170503042327

So we really haven't seen the Totsuka Blade that much since it only belonged to Itachi's Susanoo. Over at Naruto Fanon, we have been discussing the true powers of the blade. Can it seal the Ten-Tails? We have also speculated the fact that Orochimaru said that he was "searching for the blade". Could it have been a physical weapon? And if so, how did Itachi's Susanoo obtain it? Since the blade itself is an extension of the Susanoo, it is basically chakra. So it should be affected by Chakra Absorption Techniques but then again what happens with the blade's sealing capabilities? And also, is it possible for those who have been sealed to return? For example, Nagato. Since Hagoromo released the Edo Tensei, Nagato's sealed soul should be returned to the Pure Lands. I have one reason for this. Why should being transported into another dimensional space interfere with the releasing of the technique that revived them in the first place?
