Do you really think someone as Orochimaru would stop looking for a super-strong sword just because he wouldn't be able to use it? Remember, he wanted Itachi's and Sasuke's bodies. He probably would've been able to use it afterwards.

Oh and the sword is jutsu-related. It's imbued with a genjutsu, which in turn requires chakra.
