The 4th could've been chosen as the succesor or favorite before he got the title. They also showed that he ran away after being discovered doing his experiments by the 3rd. Either way, it was before the 4th died and Naruto was born.
If Sandaime had heard rumours of his pupil doing such experiements, I think he would've insisted on going.
How do you know it was before Naruto was born?
It seems obvious to me that Sarutobi (looking too young to be retired) was still Hokage leading the ANBU when he caught Orochimaru.
I think it played out like this: Orochimaru wanted to be Hokage. Sarutobi said "No way you sadistic freak!" Orochimaru got caught and ran away. Jiraiya was too much a perv and Tsunade had gambling problems so they were bad candidates. Then Sarutobi picked the 4th as his successor.
The genin exam clearly shows Orochimaru doesn't know who Naruto is. If he was in the village when Naruto was born, he would know Naruto.
Can you look at other peoples baby photo's and know it's them?
I think it was also said that 10 years ago, Sarutobi could've been a better match or beaten Orochimaru when they had their fight. So he might've still looked pretty fresh back then, 10 years does a lot.
What the heck does your question have to do with anything?
Anyways, they didn't fight when Orochimaru ran away.
In the fight that Sarutobi died in, it was said that he could've beaten him or been a better match if he was 10 years younger or something along those lines.
The Kyubi incident and the time that Orochimaru ran away is 10+ years ago.
Orochimaru not knowing who Naruto is, means nothing considering Naruto would've been a baby when Orochimaru had left, and the question is relevant.
Can you look at someone's baby picture and know it was them today? No, you can't.
Hence why Orochimaru didn't recognize Naruto, but found out who he is.
You are the one that brought up that he was to young looking to be retired.
Orochimaru running away, the Kyubi incident, these events would've happened around the same time, the only question is when, before or after.
I think you need to take a critical thinking course or something to learn the basics of logic. You're all over the place kAi. The whole wanting to fight him 10 years ago thing has no connection to when Orochimaru ran away.
Anyways, due to the reasons I've already said, it looks as though he ran away before the Kyuubi attacked.
jaysee, i think kai is right... the time Orochimaru ran away was also the time the third hokage has already known the secrets orochimaru has been doing, and that was 10 years ago. i remember the monkey king told the third hokage and blamed him for not killing orochimaru at that time. and then the attack on konoha by the kyubi happened 12 years ago, the time naruto was born, so its safe to say that the kyubi incident happened first before orochimaru ran away
Yup, kAi's right about that one. Furthermore, I think the jutsu Jiraiya forbid Naruto to use isn't transforming into 4tails because that is already triggered by anger. The jutsu Naruto knows, is probably once in a lifetime thing.
