and i dont really believe that Orochimaru fears him, rather he fears the sharigan that could copy all his jutsu&#39;s that he took years to learn.
once Itachi is out of the picture (and he will be way before Orochimaru) theres not much from Orochimaru </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

I agree, I don&#39;t think he is that great, its his ability to use the Sharigan that makes him so strong. Who knows maybe Orochimaru will develop some Jutsu that disables the sharingan or something. Just a guess.
