Fantastic chapter. It made me forgot about all the Dragonball-esque bullshit we had to put up with for so long. Man, I donīt want this flashback to end. And even worse, itīll most likely end with Kabutoīs defeat :/

Remember, this flashback is happening through Kabutoīs eyes. We donīt know if creating Otogakure was Orochimaruīs original goal. I think his foremost goal was still to master all jutsus, which includes achieving immortality.
