'So this is what he was meaning with "Make one of Orochimaru's folk betray him"? It wasn't that bad of an idea if Kabuto and Sasuke managed to kill Orochimaru there, but unfortunately, it didn't work out...but why is he saving Kabuto? Since it failed, why don't Eiji just let Kabuto and Orochimaru fight while he focuses on taking one opponent done so that we have the advantage?" - Jiraiya was glancing at the bridge while he was on top of Gambunta was jumping into the air to dodge Hanzo's attack coming from underwater.
Saving an opponent under a Genjutsu was unheard of.
First of all, there was always the chance that the opponent might be able to break out of it - and you wouldn't want to be next to him when this happens.
And secondly, this is still an opponent you had to deal with later anyway!
But what Jiraiya didn't know was that this wasn't just any Genjutsu Kabuto was under.
It was the Kotoamatsukami.
Back then when Eiji had the idea that Sasuke should learn Sage Mode too, Sasuke's body wasn't able to withstand the natural chakra the White Snake Sage injected into him, so he transformed into a snake and was eaten by her.
Thankfully Eiji taught Sasuke about Izanagi beforehand, so a completely intact Sasuke appeared again.
Using Izanagi came however with the price of the eye which used it to go blind - though they still had Shisui's eye as loot from the Danzo fight, so Sasuke decided to replace it with for his unusable eye.
Problem was that they couldn't ask for a medic-nin to do it, since they could only ask someone outside of the Five Shinobi villages for obvious reasons, but those outside weren't trustworthy enough for such an operation.
So Eiji had to do it.
...
It was a complete disaster.
Eiji wasn't a surgeon and he certainly didn't enjoy gore, so he messed up and completely butchered Sasuke's face.
He was sure that if Sasuke wasn't under narcosis that he would have killed him on the spot, but with Ukon's help who used his ability to "transfer" Eiji's regeneration-ability to Sasuke the operation somehow managed to be a success.
But why did Eiji place such importance on Kabuto?
Wouldn't he be glad if he died considering that he killed Hayate?
Eiji didn't forgive him and certainly didn't forget his grudge towards Kabuto, but it would be a waste to kill Kabuto when he is fully under Sasuke's control.
That was because of the Edo Tensei.
Sasuke could have used the Kotoamatsukami on Orochimaru to end the fight instantly, but he currently wasn't able to perform the Edo Tensei himself.
But the more important part was that it was Kabuto who would perfect the Edo Tensei - not Orochimaru.
And Eiji wanted to obtain the perfect Edo Tensei, not Orochimaru's weaker version.
With that, Eiji would start walking the path of a villain in this world, but he grew a bit paranoid with his experience of the unreliable fate and wanted to fully maintain control over the flow of things.
Plus, he promised Sasuke that he would help him to get Itachi out of Akatsuki and therefore he needed a good bargain chip.
Eiji might be shameless and piss people off, but he wasn't someone who broke promises without a really good reason - especially to important figures like Sasuke with who he wanted to maintain a good relationship.
Mu looked in front of him.
Hidan was reduced to nothing else than dust!
Orochimaru made the right call by letting Mu fight Hidan.
There was simply no worse match-up for Hidan.
Other than his ritual, Hidan was using mostly his scythe for battle and with his overall reliance on his immortality, when Mu used his Dust Release to form a cube which then suddenly expended at a tremendous speed, engulfing Hidan, it was over, just like that.
Hidan was by no means weak but compared to such a legendary character who not only climbed to the rank of Tsuchikage but even fought Madara and survived, Hidan lost just like that, uneventfully with nothing of him remaining.
Fugaku gulped: 'So this is the power of a Tsuchikage?'
Orochimaru's tactic worked out and his side gained a huge advantage!
So who will kill asuma then
No I think one mamgekyo needs to go blind first to exchange it with another
Mangekyo is the evolved form of the 3 tomoe sharingan, generally it only evolved once the user has seen someone close to them die. Eternal Mangekyo sharingan is what was gained when the brother who is blind take's his brother's working mangekyos, unknown if a simple exchange can be done however or if one's eyes need to go blind first.
@TehGodofDoooom yea man
@TehGodofDoooom there is nothing suggesting that one of them shall become blind or even being brother to other. You will be screwed with trying to control it if you are not Uchiha or Otsutsuki.
@SuperHeiyan The truth of the fact is that once awakened using the mangekyo will cause it to "lose it's light" meaning it will slowly lose its vision the more it is used. Anyone not of the uchiha or senju lineage may not even be able to control it should it be implanted, even if they can I might have a terrible price, like a one time use or something. Danjou (and I forget if there was anyone else) used hashirama's cells(Senju Lineage/source: Check). Unless you somehow get a rinnegan or higher, eternal mangekyo sharingan is the only way to use the mangekyo without losing your vision. In the series the only people who gained the eternal mangekyo had a brother with a mangekyo. As to whether it is solely limited to siblings or not, we will never know unless someone interviews the author/mangaka.
@TehGodofDoooom don't forget that Obito had eternal mangekyo sharingan with his own eye.
Brothers eyes are best only because close genetic means smaller chance of body rejecting transplantation, but ninjas have a way around this so it's not a real issue. Actually that "use your brother eyes" thing is what Madare invented and he is a psycopath.
@SuperHeiyan actually obito didn't kishi used harashirama cells bs for the plot to make him use kamui and I still don't know how kakashi could spam kamui since in the beginning naruto he couldn't use sharigan and in shippuden 2-3 kamui was his limit in the war bs I mean you could suck hashirama balls and it would make you kage ranked
