I think Orochimaru might have gone after Gaara if Gaara had not been so powerful and if Gaara was not a target of Akatsuki, which he hates. I also think the same about Naruto, but I do not think that he would like to be under the wrath of Pein.

Orochimaru easily defeated Itachi in battle?
uhm, what chapter did this came from? So far, what was shown in chapter 345 was that Orochimaru and Itachi were confronting each other,the latter having caught the former in a "paralyzing genjutsu" and after that, severing Orochimaru's arm with the akatsuki ring... It was not even shown that Orochimaru defeated Itachi in battle. And there was one instance that he even admitted that Itachi was a stronger ninja than he is. Someone clean this, please... I think the appropriate phrase is "he was easily defeated by Itachi in battle"... Proof? All Itachi did was "that" genjutsu. He was not even brought to the brink in using his mangekyou sharinga. He was thwarted in his effort almost immediately. (unsigned)

Well, Tsukuyomi in the real world does not last very long, and it causes strain on Itachi to use it, so apparently Itachi probably used Tsukuyomi then deactivated it immediately. Madara uchiha99 (talk), Kanji: うちは マダラ 九十九, Romaji: Uchiha madara kyū-jū-kyū 15:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

did you actually read my post? i think no... I was saying that that in Orochimaru's background, it was mentioned that he easily defeated Itachi in battle... what chapter is that?????? so far, what was shown was the confrontaion between Itachi and Orochimaru, and that ALL Itachi did was cast an almost basic genjutsu... so i think the correct phrase is "he was easily defeated by itachi in battle" and not "he easily defeated itachi in battle." the ease with which he defeated his aggressor is seen in the fact that: 1. he cast a basic genjustu against a known S-class criminal, and yet, easily defeated orochimaru in battle 2. he was not even force to use some of his more powerful jutsu's because he  defeated orochimaru almost instantly 3. orochimaru stated that itachi is stronger than he is...

Here I have to disagree:

1. We have to remember that Orochimaru wanted Itachi's body so the way he fought him was not to damage it.

2. Itachi told Kisame that they both would die if they were to fight Jiraiya, and Orochimaru was the strongest Sannin so Itachi<Jiraiya, Jiraiya<Orochimaru while Orochimaru<Itachi is against any logic.

3. Orochimaru said that Itachi is stronger than him while he was using weaker body which could fail him anytime making him unable to defend himself.

4. We don't know if the shown confrontation Orochimaru-Itachi was all that happened - it is possible that the transemigration was stopped before by Itachi and Orochimaru was left weakened - that would make him open for genjutsu attack and unable to stop Itachi from cutting his arm off.

Creating Summoning: Impure World Resurrection?
As far as I remember, nobody has said that Orochimaru created Summoning: Impure World Resurrection. The ANBU leader seemed to know it, which makes it more unlikley.Jacce 19:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If he did create it, then the reason the ANBU member would know is because Orochimaru was a Konoha Shinobi.


 * I agree that Orochimaru only learned it trough studies of forbidden techniquest - you can explain ANBU leader knowledge saying that Orochimaru invented it while staying in Konoha. However according to chapter 118 Nidaime-sama knew this technique by name and Shodaime-sama was aware that they can't disobey the summoner. And we all remember that they died before thay could learn about it if it was Orochimaru to create it.

Various special ablities
In the battle with 4 tailed Naruto paragraph it says that Orochimaru has various abilities that I've never seen before. Such as fireball breathing snakes and a battle clone made of snakes? Someone tell me where this is, or if that was an error.
 * I for one diden't see those jutsus, at least not in the anime, however he relesed a huge amount of snakes from his mouth that later extenden swords from their mouths and when Naruto sliced him i half, his both bodyparts used snakes to reconnect. Jacce 06:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not in the manga either, just the same jutsus as above. Jacce 06:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Orochimaru is not Dead!
Someone need to change that Orochimaru is dead on his page because he was hit by Itachi's sword and was sealed away and Kabuto fused him self with orochimarus remains theres no proof he's dead.

EDIT: I agree with this user, he's absolutely right. There's no proof that he's dead other than character's assumptions. I believe his status should be "Unknown".


 * There are at least 3 ways he could survive: the sealing and genjutsu can be undone - making Orochimaru only traped but alive, probability of regaining consciousness in Kabuto's body after the remains take more than 50% of it, he might had escaped in form of those white snakes - his true form was made of those and there were at least 3 of those escaping from which only one was shown to die from Amaterasu. And umm... if the change is going to be made the Sannin article will require changes as well.

Partner
Can we really call Kabuto Orochimaru's partner? I thought that section was for members in Akatsuki. Jacce 14:29, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Shadow clone
In the manga he uses Shadow clones, in the anime he uses Mud clones. Should we add Shadow clone to his jutsu list and ad (manga only)? Jacce 14:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Akatsuki
At the top where it has all the symbols listed, it lists him as being an Akasuki member. Why? Ai Raiokachi 18:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Once he was a member of Akasuki, and Sasori's partner, but after trying to steal Itachi's body he defected. Jacce 18:28, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
