[Spoilers] Why does Orochimaru want Sasuke's body?

[sLm]

If he saw everything what happened from within Anko, then he should know that being revived with Edo Tensei provides a better and inmortal body than just taking Sasuke's body. Then why doesn't he just die and get someone else to revive him with Edo?

[Gay]

Uchiha bloodline to get more jutsus

[CleverMonkey]

Because he just really like young boys :3

[HiddenSound]

Because he could easily be bound by someone's will. (All Edos are unconscious when first summoned) It would be way, way too big a risk to take.

[Lamperouge]

because its plot, idk.

[ElementNami92]

Rinnegan=All jutsu. That's what he wants right? knowledge of all jutsu?
EDIT: He'll wait for the right moment, I guess when Sasuke gets Rinnegan :shrug:

[El Batman]

As an edo, you are subject to control. Orochimaru obviously does not want to be controlled. And sasuke has ems, something oro has been after for years.

[Kazekage35]

Because he wants the uchiha bloodline bro...

[IllusionRamen]

Uchiha bloodline ? rinnegan ? Immortal body ?

no no no, my friend.. let me explain the real reason ..

Actually Orochimaru secretly love sakura, but due to the plot he have to pretend to like little boys. now with sasuke's body he will very easily be with sakura no problem !

now that's his main motive !

[sage mode beat down]

hes gay for the sharingan hes more he was more or less immortal before he died , he only died becoz he was weak in his rotton body thats why he wanted sasuke

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It all makes sense now.

[gordo1]

Sharingan, tons of chakra, a body that can handle the sharingan.

[Mugen Tsukyomi]

Because he was the uchiha body to get senju dna in essence to try and become like the safe of six paths, also nigga has been wanting the sharingan forever.

[kwakugyeabour]

he wants the sharingan so he could learn more jutsus and also at a faster rate, and combined with his own immortality = GOD

[DeViliShChild]

because there are pitfalls of edo, that Orochimaru probably knows of. Also, Uchiha bodies have"the key to unlock all jutsu" Thats why he has wanted the body from the start

[DWwolf85]

Because he just really like young boys :3

This, ***** man

[yeahhboi]

u all a very stupid orochimaru wants the power of the so6 so he thinks by getting sasuke body and modifying it with hashirama cells he will gain something close to that power that is all.

[★Gyakusetsu]

He, like many others, is trying to piece together the different elements of the So6P. Uchiha and Senju bloodlines combined to for Yin and Yang elements and the ability to gather and control nature chakra as a Sage.

[xXFLAVORSXx]

for people saying he'd be taking a risk by being brought back as an edo he knows the hand signs he just just have someone like kabuto who wont fully control him bring him back then just do the signs and free himself

[veggetta13]

Because he just really like young boys :3

Funny Korean :ice:

[OrochimaruFan]

He wants the Sharingan.

[OrochimaruFan]

He wants the Sharingan.

[kibaclaw]

He needs Sasuke's body to become closer to the so6p's power. Just having sharingan eyes isn't enough, you need Uchiha chakra to control them properly.

[naruttebayo]

may be cuz oro is a gay

If he saw everything what happened from within Anko, then he should know that being revived with Edo Tensei provides a better and inmortal body than just taking Sasuke's body. Then why doesn't he just die and get someone else to revive him with Edo?

Several reasons: First, you have to trust a person a heck of a lot to just die and trust that they bring you back. Pain was supposed to use his Rinne Tensei abilities on Madara, but that clearly never happened. Pain was also supposed to use Rinne Tensei for Tobi in some way. We don't know if that's the same or if it was for a different purpose.

Also, Edo Tensei comes with some limitations. As we saw, of the zombies brought back to life, all of them except for Madara were released. That's pretty dangerous to consider that one person can instantly release you and then you're dead again. That's a big weakness.

Also, Edo Tensei zombies are under mind control to varying degrees. Why would Orochimaru want to be turned into a zombie under somebody else's control? Orochimaru is the leader, not a puppet.

The whole idea is a bad idea. Orochimaru wouldn't want that because he's not stupid.
