Moola DeenaUm... I don't have a clue, but I could go for a guess if you want me to? Sasuke is a genius (with more potential than even Itachi who in turn was stronger than Orochimaru) and Naruto is not. Even though the Kyuubi of course wouldn't have any trouble with Orochimaru in its free form, it is sealed up within Naruto and can't use it's full power. Besides, Naruto probably kind of maybe tried to hold back subconsiously at the time he fought Orochimaru. Who knows? And Orochimaru probably didn't expect Sasuke to fight him when he got killed, while he knew all the time that Naruto would. Or something. I don't know, I'm just rambling. Besides, as everyone knows, Kishimoto's favourite is Sasuke. He most likely wanted Sasuke to be the one to kill off Orochimaru. |

darkskysongI know this is really late to when you asked this and you might know answer already, but for other people... Sasuke reveals that he was only able to 'kill' Orochimaru because the sannin was in a weakened state as his stolen body decayed. Also the strength of his will coupled with the sharingan overpowered the soul transfer jutsu so Sasuke was able to suppress Orochimaru instead of being taken over himself. | #3 Dec 28th 2008, 8:08pm .
