Here's a random brainfart that truned out to be a valid question,..

[Huang]

So, I was just reading a thread about Orochimaru and such,.. and it hit me.

What was Orochimaru's plan with Sasuke's body, and Yamato? Instead of the usual plan for immortality.
Why did Orochimaru seek the Sharingan and a way to harvest Hashirama's cells?

I'm not claiming anything, I just find it very interessting,
esspecially since he has been brought back, when the story is nearing its end.

Is he gonna use it for a new jutsu? Was he planning on gaining the Rinnegan?
Is he gonna up-grade Sasuke's powers? Or is it just a coincidence?

What do guys think??

with Kishi, anything is possible

Oro wants to live forever and learn all ninjustu.He wants the rinnegan.It has already been established him and kabuto cracked pretty much everything the tablet had to say with all the experiments they did over the years.It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out lol

He wants every jutsu. I always figured with the sharingan, he'd be well on his way considering how many jutsus Kakashi has learned with his.

He'd also need it for the rinnegan.

That snake Orochimaru..Dude u cannot know what he is really after untill Kishi apparently says it

This was always one big mystery to me personally. I think Orochimaru saw many things coming his way to begin with. The whole "Sasuke's body" always left a big question

My point exactly, he was either after immortality, or all the world's jutsu. Why he so badly needed Sasuke's body to do that, I never got that.
The fact that he made Yamato, kinda of gives new depth to his plan, at least that was I susspect.

that's the problem, he has never been truly clear of what his ultimate goal was.
It wasn't like Madara or akatsuki, they wanted power in order to accomplish a goal, not just for the sake of power.
I think there may be a bit more to him than just that.
