[Spoilers] Why didn’t Kabuto revive Orochimaro?

[siyo]

After all, he worshipped him and wouldn’t stop talking about him, yet he decided not release him from the seal. I don’t buy that he didn’t know how to since he was the first disciple of the snake. He used and copied all of Orochimaro’s research to better himself, surpass him, etc., so it isn’t plausible for him to not know how to reverse a freakin' seal.

Even if we forget the emotional attachments, he could’ve still used the help. His odds would increase instead of now sitting like a helpless dog ready for someone to put him out of his misery.

It makes me think that Kabuto secretly didn't want to revive Orochimaro. What do you think?

The real question is why didn't Orochimaru help Kabuto, but he just took his powers back and now leavin with Sasuke

[swa]

makes sense..!!
but maybe he wanted to do that at a right moment..!!
who knows..!!!!! kishi knows.. :D

Well, Orochimaro only cares about himself which is why he's such a great villain.

[juankimari]

No he didn't want to. He came to a point where he wanted to BECOME Orochimaru NOT revive him.

:mad: Why is orochimaru back he is meant to be sealed I am not happy about this

[GreenV]

Yes this makes me wonder. So many things didn't get right. Right sealed Edo tensei could be released etc ....

Unless Kabuto is very stupid but it's not true.

Kabuto is the most trolled character, period ( even worse than oro).

You eralize you answered your own question in your first post? Kabuto wanted to PASS Orochimaru and with him sealed it gave him the ability and the opening. As for Oro turning on Kabuto that's obvious isn't it. Oro wants Sasuke and used Kabuto since he was a child.
And for the Neji fan, ORO RULES.

lols - - i liked how suigetsu and sasuke both have respect for oro's power - - told eachother how they underestimatin oro's powers

I wouldn't say Oro turned on Kabuto. He left him alive, didn't he? Ultimately I think he did help him, even if inadvertently.

Kabuto is stuck in Izanami until he recognizes his own strenghts/limits and stops relying on others' powers. Well guess what? Now he doesn't have those other powers, so I suspect we'll see him waking up sometime soon.

^^True, he2x..

Anyways on topic, I was baffled the first time Orochimaru gazed on Kabuto. The looks on his face or his impression seems so strange. In my opinion, I think he felt betrayed. He was even shocked that it was Sasuke who actually revived him. Perhaps he was waiting for his most loyal disciple who should be Kabuto to resurrect him. This could be the reason why he didn't help Kabuto escaped Izanami & leave him as is. I called it Payback, to be honest.

Because Orochimaru told Kabuto that he is "fine the way he is". He said he was able to see/hear everything from his curse mark, so he knows about Izanami. He WANTS Kabuto to be himself, so he will leave him trapped in Izanami until Kabuto chooses the right path. He even took his DNA away from Kabuto, he wants him to become his own shinobi.

Well if you remember back from a while ago Kabuto said don't kill anko because she has orochimarus chakra in her,so he could have just been waiting.Also it makes me strangely sad if this wasn't the case and kabuto did try and become orochimaru such good partners.

[sLm]

Indeed Kabuto did revive Orochimaru from his stomach, didn't he? xD. Appart from that, I don't think a powerful man wants to rule the world altogether with another one.

You might have a point.

Why would Orochimaro tell him that? Orochimaro wanted to be revived, preferably by his student, I don't see him sacrificing himself so he could watch Kabuto be himself.

[Orochimagus]

Pay attention. Kabuto said himself that he was trying to surpass Orochimaru's existence. He wanted to prove he could do it without him so reviving him was out of the question.

[twwial]

I feel sorry for Kabuto... in the end, he is just a loser

[Honord Sage]

Same reason Tobi did not revive Madara, the need to be their own man and do things their way,and get their own glory.

[kisamexRocks]

That reviving of Orochimaro was complete shit. Sorry but reversing a seal of the curse mark brings back someone? Extremely lame. So now if someone reverses a seal of the Death Reaper ALL the people would come back. Plus why are Orochimaros arms working. They shouldn't be working as his arms are sealed away. Thanks kishi

It’s not as simple as that. I’m well aware of Kabuto’s ambitions, but you make the faulty assumption that Kabuto can’t surpass his master while the latter is still alive. Kabuto clearly wanted to avenge Orochimaro, he imitated him and followed him blindly, i.e., nothing indicates a betrayal like this.

You don't like oro, do you?

[Kakuzu Jr]

Kabuto wanted to absorb Orochimaru's power from Anko himself, didn't he?

The last page was a bit confusing cuz he's looking away from Kabuto when he says that.

[NarutoChangeSasuke]

I think maybe Kabuto wanted to capture Sasuke first then release Orichimaro. With Sasuke as an almost homecoming present, to feel praised by Orochimaro for his good work. Because Kabuto just wanted to be loved...
