I'm waiting for them to confirm that he does in fact have that snake demon sealed inside him.
Honestly, i also think of this possibility for some time now. However, i dismissed this idea also sometime ago. Why? simple, to seal a demon inside a body, you need a fix body. To transfer the demon from jinchurikin (sorry if it incorrect spelling) to another jinchurikin, you need to rip the demon out of the previous jinchurikin to a containner before transfer it to another jinchurikin. The old jinchurikin die instantly. You can read back the conversation between Chiyo and Sakura when they rescue Gaara. And finally, the demon die when Jinchurikin die (when the demon still in that body of course.) Orochumaru continuously transfer his soul to the younger body, and he just transfer his soul to the body that he has now for only about 2 and half years ago (manga time). When he transfer to a new body. The soul of the new body will be eat away by Orochimaru's soul (watch what happen when he transfer to new body in Sasuke ran away arc.) In orther word, when he transfer his soul into a new body, the old body will without doubt is empty (without any soul). The old body without any soul can't survive, isn't it? If that so, then even if Orochimaru had a demon snake inside the old body. The demon would die with the decease of the old body since if he remove the demon first (before the transfer soul take place), Orochimaru would die immediately.

However, there is one more possibility even though it is not very likely. That is Orochimaru some how completely merge his soul and the snake soul so that become one. Then when he transfer his soul, he tranfer the demon soul too. That would explain why people see the big snake image when he transfer to his modern body (Sasuke's run away arc) This seem like a solution, but it is not a solution at all. I mean how is that possible. I mean 1 apple plus 1 apple can't become 1 apple, can it? Plus Chiyo once said that no one was able to completely control the demon the only way to gain some control is to put the demon inside the body and work together with the demon. For Orochimaru to gain complete control and merge soul with demon without any side effect, he has to step on more step after pass what Chiyo said impossible. This is confusing if you follow this explaination. Because of these reason above, i dismissed this theory, too, concluse that Orochimaru has no demon inside his body, and decise that stop thinking about this issue because it gives me a headache.

Finally, nice chapter, anyone still think that Jiraiya almost die while fighting with Naruto is because Jiraiya hold back? From what i see is Naruto totaly dominate Jiraiya.
