Naruto Chapter 404

[Archangel]

Orochimaru wasn't 8 Tails, exactly. But he was a Jinchuuriki, and was driven mad by Orochi's chakra (like Gaara was before the time jump).

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was the case, by the look of things there isn't going to be one bad guy left when the show is over

Zabuza went good, Gaara went good, Haku and kimimaru we just being manipulated, Sasori dies on purpose, Itachi was a good guy... next thing u know the kyuubi is gonna be saving the leaf village

I thought it was established that Orochimaru exists in Kabuto strictly on a biological level. It's Oro's genetic material that has taken over in Kabuto's body. Oro's soul and/or conciousness was purged from Sasuke and sealed by Susanoo for eternity. That's what I got out of it.
