I guess what I really meant to say was Sasuke gained this ability after Oro's ritual dimension was taken over by Sasuke's will (after Oro's soul got in Sasuke's mind).

You think it's too farfetched to say Sasuke got access to Oro's abilities because of the soul takeover gone wrong?


Sasuke's current state reminds me of Orochimaru's explanation to the prison fight winner about the body transfer. The prisoner wondered what would happen to his soul after the transfer and Oro says that it would continue to exist in the back off Oro's consciousness while Oro has full control of the body.

I feel like Oro's situation right now is he's in the back of Sasuke's consciousness while Sasuke has full control of his own body.

The difference is I felt the prisoner's soul was completely subdued by Oro's will and his soul would resume control of his body only if or when Oro allowed it. We do not know if Sasuke has that same control to subdue Oro's soul.
