Yeah, because Kabuto went and said that he incorporated Orochimaru into his own body... And there was evidence that Kabuto is slowly losing control, that Orochimaru is taking him over bit by bit. So, yeah, you'd think that he will be back, wouldn't you?

Also, the more you guys go on and on with your crazy theories, the more I actually start buying into them! Now I'm even doubting that Itachi annihilated his clan for reasons other than expressly stated... hell, I don't know what to think about it now...

But Orobuto joining forces with Root? That one just sounds absurd. I thought the leader of Root was just a hardline, practical militarist... not someone who really wanted Konoha to go to a crazy mad scientist... Seeing as how the Sound have fallen and lost almost all their strength, siding with a madman like Oro wouldn't bring them any real kind of advantage...

What I do see Root doing is helping Oro slip in or get into a position to kill Tsunade, in the hopes that afterwards they can drive Oro out and put in their own government. But, that'd be recreating exactly the same opportunity that they missed when the 3rd died...

Now I'm just sounding like an idiot... I need to read some other manga and not think so much on these crazy theories...
