Orochimaru was sealed in Sasuke, and Sasuke's chakra had to be nearly entirely drained for Orochimaru to come out. Compare that to the Juubi, where Hashirama's sealing gates were shattered like toys, yet we saw similar torii hold down Kurama. Naruto's chakra is also much greater than Sasuke's, as Kakashi implies Naruto has over a hundred times his chakra just to hold back Kurama. Firstly they didn't shatter when they were holding down Juubi only when they tried to hold obito down. Secondly Torii seal and Totsuka work on different principle and restrict people in clearly different ways. So your comparison between the two just because they are sealing jutsu isn't justified. Thekillman wrote: Ergo, by simple deduction the Torii held down stronger beings than the Totsuka sealed, yet failed to hold down the Juubi. There's no reason to believe the Totsuka can seal the Juubi. it's just an assumption, and that assumption you can test with the "if it's so strong, why did Itachi not use it" method. In which case i end up with "because it's not so strong". Your Deductions is wrong for several reasons. Hashirama had to use his chakra to maintain the Torii similar seal. Also it's a fact that ninjutsu doesn't work against TTJs. Whereas Totsuka is weapon/tool like the kusanagi. It doesn't require chakra like you are claiming (other than driving it into the enemy). And Instead of holding Itachi is permanently sealing them in a genjutsu world which gives the opponent no chance of resisting unlike the torii. The only way is to unseal the person. Lastly for your"" why did Itachi not use it" method. In which case i end up with "because it's not so strong"."" I have simple refutation, because itachi never knew about the Ten-tails being present. the revival happened long after itachi was gone. Itachi thought removing edo's out of equation would finish the fight. And it would have had it not for madara's breaking the contract and further manipulating the situation about which he wasn't aware of.
