Kimimaro dying from Illness? WTF?!
I thinks its interesting how of all the character we've seen in the Narutoverse, the only one that has died from an Illness is Kimimaro. Now if it was anyone else, I would have been able to accept it but not Kimimaro!!
I know that this is way in the past and off topic fromt he current manga and anime but it really doesn't make much sense! Kimimaro has the abilities to pull bones out of his body and retract them back in and what not. Now I know when someone suffers a compound fracture (broken bone penetrates the skin) there is a severe risk of infection. Kimimaro never had a problem with this. This menas that this guy must of had an extremely resilient Immune system. Hence, I think its kinda weird that he died from Illness. Maybe it was something Genetic, I don't know, but I guess I just gotta look at it as a plot device... |

Thats probably why he was one of the few people to die of a disease. |

Orochimaru has the power to raise the dead and extract whatever information he wants from them. Kabuto is unrivalled in the use of corpses and could easily get whatever stuff he wants from them (ie if this was really a disease unique to the clan, he had all the test data he need to do his experiments and what not). Based on this and other subtle hints shown, it is very possible that Kabuto played a major role in Kimmimaro's demise. Bear in mind too that there is no mention of Orochimaru using his jutsus to get more information for Kabuto which in itself is awkward since he had plans to use Kimmimaro's body.

Perhaps they would have to revive a doctor from his clan, where would he even start trying to find one. randomly raise all the dead and ask them if they were a doctor. Does he even know where any of them are buried, maybe they were all burned as implied in the anime, so he couldnt anyways. In the manga, it did say it was a rare disease from his clan right? And was implied they couldnt cure it because they had no information on it. Oro admits he wanted kimi more than sasuke, so its hard to believe he didnt do everything in his power... |

Even ignoring this, don't you find it surprising that for someone who didn't have a clue about what was going on with Kimmimaro, that he could keep him alive indefinitely... and not alive as in a coma but leaving them in a state where they are well awared of their surroundings and such. Kimmimaro actually died because he left all of the medical stuff behind when he went after Sasuke otherwise he would be fumming in jealousy in the post timeskip with the attention Sasuke was getting.

My opinion is that the illness is most likely a plot device. Kimimaro was supposed to be an unstoppable killing machine and Kishimoto needed a way for him to lose to two genin without him seeming like a weak character. The illness made his defeat against Gaara and Rock Lee possible while still preserving his reputation as an extremely strong opponent. BTW, what ever happened to Kimimaro's body? It'd be funny if his skeleton is still there dangling in a forest of bones. |

Im simply saying, this jutsu is too vague to imply they can get information in this fashion. The story is too vague as well. They stated they couldnt get the information, so i take this at face value, assuming their techniques were useless because of my reasons above. Quote:
Im not saying it wasnt a plot device. They needed a strong character to face off with rock lee/gaara building suspense, and kill him while still making it seem that it wasnt because he was weak in any way, but immensly powerful. Im saying that it could be what it is. They couldnt cure him, as it was a rare disease only applicable to his clan. |

Kimi illness was just a plot devise so he could loose to Gaara. an uncurable illness unique to his blodline that Killed him in the moment he was about to kill Gaara and Lee?????
And then the idea of kabuto being Bat-Man is laughable..., He could not find a Cure period. As There is no reason whatsoever for Kabuto to have any part on Kimi's Disease, and I doubt Kishimot go a digs up Kimimaru in future chapters just to show us this. when kabuto isn’t even that Important character. BTW, Just because Kabuto (if it really was him) could kept Kimi alive (if this devise only kept him alive or only work as a devise to slowdown the disease) does not means he knew how to treat the disease. I mean how many shows have been presented where you got a patient that is only alive because of Devices? And the series medicine knowledge can’t cure the Patient, leaving the Doctor or family with no choice but to pull the plug?

Kimi's illness was a shame as he would have made an awesome regular but it adds an element of maturity to naruto to have a character die of illness. Additionaly they needed a reason why Oro couldn't take his body.

Orochimaru remains the biggest badass...he's like Shang Sung from Mortal Kombat.
I expect the final battle will be between Naruto & Orochimaru. Orochimaru will summon (dead) all those who fought with/against Naruto: - Sasuke - Kabuto - Kimmimaro - Kisame - etc.
