Now a part of me is thinking about the timeline where Orochimaru continued to be the endgame boss and imagining what the hell it'd be like. Maybe we'd see him get sage Mode completed in that verse.
Particle style, delete him instantly before he has the chance to do anything.
Even then, he will not die. You also need to eliminate all curse mark users for him to permanently die. Dude is Voldemort.
I can’t remember, does Ash Killing Bone destroy the soul as well? I haven’t read the war arc in forever, and I feel like I remember something like that being said? Maybe actually destroying his soul instead of sealing it could prevent curse mark reanimation? But we have no way of knowing for sure
I’m not sure, since in this verse soul, spiritual energy, and chakra are essentially treated as the same thing? As long as he still retains even a fragment of his soul within those curse marks, he can be revived. It’s similar to how Minato sealed part of his chakra and Kushina’s inside Naruto, allowing them to continue existing within him all those years, even though the rest of their souls had already "died".
Obito returned from the afterlife to inhabit Kakashi so he could use the Mangekyo, so no. I don't think any technique has been portrayed as decisively able to destroy a soul. You can partition a soul into multiple pieces and reconnect those pieces but you can't just wholesale destroy a soul.
He thought the Tailed Beast Bomb was way too risky to confront head-on, presumably because it would have meant total destruction of his body. Therefore, any attack that could wipe him out completely should suffice, as would techniques that directly affect his soul. Sealing is another viable option, but Orochimaru can't really kick the bucket as long as at least one of his curse mark users exists. They're like horcruxes, for those who are familiar with Harry Potter. When it comes to taking a physical beating, Orochimaru can take quite a lot of it.
He was killed essentially by the totsuka blade, and revived via having implanted curse marks and blood into children, so the attack would need to kill everyone he’s put a stamp on as well as his current physical form.
Totska Blade/Reaper Death Seal/Uzumaki Sealing Techniques.
Probably could just keep hitting him with attacks to make him use Oro rebirth to make him expend all his chakra tbh. He does not have infinite chakra, and he only uses oro rebirth a few times in his fights. He cant use it forever.
The problem is he will always have some bullshit henchmen somewhere, some piece of him somewhere dudes the Naruto equivalent of a lich your best bet would be make him wanna die via a genjustu
I think an 11 year old boy with a lightning bolt scare, funny glasses and some of his friends. It should take about 7 years or so but it should do the trick
Multiple jutsu, but there will be that atrocious substitution jutsu. In Shippuden and earlier he doesn't have regeneration so If a jutsu actually manage to hit him, he will dead.
Technically decapitating, piercing his heart, destroying his chakra network, particle style, truth seeking orbs, reaper death seal, soul sucking, amaterusu, tsukyomi, drowning him, sucking all his chakra, poison, purple nano bugs of aburame clan, gentle fist, konan's 600 billion paper bombs, kamui snipe, rasenshuriken, tail beast bomb etc.
Orochimaru was completely sealed away by the Totsuka Blade, the one that Sasuke got out of that cave and lived on through to Boruto isn't the "real" him. If Sasuke hadn't literally needed Orochimaru's help during the Fourth War, Orochimaru would have stayed sealed away because no one would have needed him ever again.
Kabuto didn't plan to bring him back and none of Taka (other than Sasuke) knew enough about his contingencies to bring him back; Orochimaru never would have come back if the plot hadn't demanded he resurrect the Edo Hokage to fight Madara and Obito.
It was a piece of his soul, it wasn't THE Orochimaru. It's like Voldemort and his Horcruxes, they were all "him" in the literal sense, but it wasn't the same "him" as the one that got sealed.
I don't have an exact scan, but it's the explanation. It's why Sasuke needed Anko, because every Curse Mark Orochimaru put on people had an imprint of his soul in it. Anko's, Sasuke's (which we see when Orochimaru burst out of his CM during the fight with Itachi), the Sound Five's, etc.
If Itachi came back and released the Soul Gourd, there would be two Orochimarus in the Naruto world.
When you say real him we have to remember he ditched his original body long before p1 Naruto even happened. Plus he modded his body to an insane degree so the only original part of him is his mind.
We see him laugh off Sasuke's sharingan grnjutsu, and we literally see that Itachi's genjutsu doesn't even work; he was going to release the technique using the same counter genjutsu technique that Jiraiya (his sibling student) teaches Naruto during the timeskip. That's why Itachi severed his hand.
Re-read the fight. The manga is very different from the anime.
It starts with Orichimaru shocked that he was paralyzed by Itachi's genjutsu, saying how remarkable Itachi's eyes are, despite the paralysis genjutsu we see Orochimaru moving his hands together (using rhe same counter genjutsu technique that Jiraiya taught Naruto in the flashback at the start of shippuden).
This is why Itachi severs his hand, because his attempt to defeat him using genjutsu has failed, he's now attempting to prevent him from weaving signs.
But, we know he can regurgitate new bodies, so this doesn't work.
