@Legion

I checked too. it isnt mentioned.

but the mechanics of Curse Mark is as it is stated. it is a culmination of multiple things mentioned throughout the manga that derives it.

first of all know this that know one other than those trained in Senjutsu and those of Jugo clan can use Senjutsu. CM is derived from what Orochimaru learnt of Jugo clans powers, but remember that it is solely powered by Orochimaru's Senjutsu chakra.

when Sasuke unseals Orochimaru of Anko, Oro states that he put his own Senjutsu chakra into the CM. the transformation is Sage Transformation, something only those of Jugo clan and Sages like Oro and Kabuto can do. the enzyme added that helps Juugo clan contiuously absorb Senjutsu Chakra is what helps Oro consciousness in CM to contiously absorb Senjutsu chakra.

now also remember that Oro studied Jinchuriki and how they drew onto the Biju power. its like KCM1 where Naruto usese Kyubi's power leaving his aside while Kyubi feasts on his chakra the more he uses it.

the fact that it works similar to Jinchuriki power is shown when the Sound 5 state that the more you use the CM the more you give yourself to Orochimaru. the only reason it doesnt work fast is because it is only part of Orochimaru's consciousness sealed in it.

the fact that Kabuto specifically used Orochimaru's Senjutsu Chakra from the CM on Anko and not forced Anko to transform to use the CM power is a proof that the power of CM comes from Orochimaru's Senjutsu and not the user.

Onto the Tsukuyomi and Obito debate. Yeah, Tsukuyomi needs to be controlled. true. but remember that we know that shinobi can transfer a part of their chakra and consciousness with it into another (Minato and Kushina). the former is what Itachi did. Sasuke had yet to awaken MS so it was Itachi's chakra that used Amaterasu in a delayed sequence of sorts. now Chakra is a mix of physical and spiritual, so consciousness comes with it. Itachi could have simply also transferred some of his consciousness and when Tsukuyomi would have activated his consciousness could have taken control of the jutsu.

Yeah. Amaterasu burns after activation, until it burns it target. once it does it goes poof. remember that Amaterasu was used to counter Fireball of Sasuke and once countered and the fireball fazed Amaterasu went out.

it didnt spread. it was buring the forest it had come in contact with. since Sasuke was running, the range of Amaterasu was large.

Sasuke dodged them.

Yeah. Itachi probably didnt know the full extent of Obito's abilities. i agree. but he is shown highly intelligent and analytical. he is like Minato in that sense that it requires him one or two glance and he understands the jutsu and its weakness or at least how it works. he showed it with CT. so saying Itachi atleast didnt understand it a bit is a bit stretch. it was probably just another hype for Itachi which completely contradicted his skills.
