Curse mark could also save his chakra by letting his use nature energy and not having to rely on susanoo as much since curse mark raises the bodies physical capabilities such as defense, speed, strength. |

the point of kabuto using juugo's power is that he isn't talented and is forced to make a conglomeration of others' powers in order to fight on par with the best ninja. kishi has taken the route that genetics are everything, which means that the greatest power solely of the uchiha clan will trump using someone else's power from 100s of chapters ago. |

Meaning Naruto would be able to use sage mode for longer if he had curse mark and Sasuke would be able to fight for longer if he had it. Sharingan is a old power but its been upgraded and is still used which could happen with the curse mark as Sasuke has Jugo's curse mark enzyme in him. Last edited by TimeMask; 2012-04-14 at 10:17. |

I think it would be interesting to see what Sasuke would do with this ability given his creativity in the past. I didn't pay much attention to jugo healing Sasuke in the past, but given the scroll he and suigetsu found, I think you (TimeMask) may very well be on to something. I'm also not sure why some people are calling the curse seal "weak" when its essentially a chakra/power booster; regardless of how strong the person is, isn't it supposed to increase the user's power and stamina?

If Sasuke is able to use the ability, it will likely be a bit different than the old curse mark and more powerful anyway, because he absorbed flesh directly from juugo, and he has become stronger overall. Sasuke has also held back most of the time in using the cured seal as to avoid the side effects, which would probably no longer be an issue. |

As for it being old, like I said previously, he is likely to manifest it a bit differently, and/or he will likely evolve its use as he has done with other jutsu in the past. Again, since he has usually had to hold back its use to avoid side-effects we probably haven't seen its full potential in Sasuke's hands either. If Sasuke does indeed gain this power, I'm sure the author will find a way to make it "new", especially in conjunction with his other jutsu(which may potentially give way to yet even more techniques), so the "old power" criticism is moot.

I don't think it's moot from a writing perspective. not only would sasuke using the curse mark be old in terms of himself having used it in the past (even if it is revamped now), but we also just now saw kabuto use it in a new way with his sage mode. so it has been used widely in its old form with sasuke and the sound 5 and now it has been revamped for kabuto's usage in snake sennin mode. so for sasuke to use it yet again would be hackneyed imo. just look at how susano'o has been played out recently and that's been part of the story for a much shorter time than the curse mark. I'm looking forward to new techniques and like has been eluded by itachi, the EMS will provide sasuke with at least one. naruto and sasuke are getting closer to being as powerful as the rikudo sennin. they will surpass people like kabuto who need to 'resort' to methods like that to perform powerful techniques like sage mode. of course what you're saying could happen, I just prefer a more original approach than what we have already seen

Curse mark 2 Sasuke got hit by 2 direct blasts from Deidara's Explosive Clay (1 to his foot and 1 to his wing) and he could still move around which shows how durable the curse mark made Sasuke. I agree the curse mark isn't weak but I think people are comparing it to current powers like EMS but curse mark could work well with EMS since it would let Sasuke fight for longer while using his EMS powers.
