so they could transplant it the same way kakshi got his shaingan (they didn't know about the seal that locks it upon death)Originally posted by: kAi
why would the cloud want the hyuga if not to figure out the byakugen and their jutsu's.
orochimaru wanted kimimaro's body, and you see kabuto and orochimaru talking (can't remember where) and kabuto said if he had more info he could figure out the secret (something like that ).
oro could breed useind sasukes body and when the body dies the could implant the sharingans in his sobordinates they go off and learn jutsus bring them back he learns the jutsus from them and so on an army of sharingan users all seeking out jutsus would be a great advantage in his questOrochimaru initially wants sasuke for his sharingan, so he could learn all ninjutsu, which was his goal right?
But seeing how he transfers to another body, the aging process is still there. That means that eventually sasuke's body will die of age. So with 50+ years in sasuke left, it doesn't seem like it's enough to learn all 'jutsu'.
Afterwards he'd just have to find another body, and then he'd lose the sharingan. Since only 2 uchiha members are left, he'd have to take Itachi or something, but Itachi is older than sasuke as well.
I do acknowledge that in the end he's going to lose in some form anyway.
as for blood limits the shaingans a blood limit and it can be transplanted so there could be a way to transplant others
