Anyway I can understand the seal because I don't think it's of the true cursed variety, like the Sound 5's and Sasuke's.

No Mikuki didn't he got the map thingie on his arm before that lame "teacher exam" thing (which also looked more like gettin Knives thrown at y ain a giant laser tag arena)... when he told Naruto to go get teh scroll in Ep 1 He was a Teacher already........So he had his Cursed Map/ Directions for juice making... on his arm already

If you think back to the episodes with the flashbacks of Hokage #3 finding Orochimaru doing secret experiments (aquiring forbidden techniques) all of the above makes perfect sense. He has become a master chemist, obtaining power through science instead of through honorable means of a true ninja. That is why his techiniques are forbidden.
The problem with this is that your correct..... BUT Still WTF was Orochimaru chillin in a Tree watchin Mizuki..... WTF does Mizukis "Cursed Seal" Actually Seem to be a Tatoo That tells ya how to make the Juice........

Why didn't Orochimaru Just give him a Regular Cursed Seal........And Lastly.... Who Knew That Orochimaru could bite people and Give them Maps on their arms?...

Orochimaru Should quit being a villian and should move Back To Kohonda and open up a Tatoo Shop...... And you can Sit down and have his Snaked bite ya so you can have an Anchor Tatooed on your chest, And Girls Can get bit on the ankle to get butterflys.... and if your really speical Orochimaru Might give you the tatoo which gives you permision to drink the "Kool-aid of power"
