Awwwww YEAH! Shit is finally going down son!!

I knew Sasuke wasn't gonna give him his body when the time came!

I think Sasuke's boned though. He say's the cursed seal isn't controlling him, but if it doesn't, why the hell would Orochimaru have given it to him. I think when the pivotal moment comes the seal is gonna disable Sasuke.

All this actually makes me wonder how long Sasuke's body would last. If you could examine bodies before hand to find compatible ones, he wouldn't have had compatibility problems in the first place. I'd be laughing if after all his efforts, he gets a Sharingan for 3 years max.

To answer both your questions, i'd say that the purpose of the cursed seal is exactly to allow Orochimaru to be able to keep Sasuke's body from degrading over time and become a definite vessel for him. That was the reason Kimimaro had one as well.

That's just a theory ofc. Darth's idea might also be correct, since we saw something similar happen with Anko when she and Orochimaru met in the forest ( even tough that might have been because she refused to use the seal )
