Casting Shadow Clones with the wrong hand signs or the wrong appearance would have revealed him.
Noburi, please
If he can reliably pass the base TN during downtime, he can practice that in order to build veterancy until he's brought it down enough to reliably pass while time laddering it down, which will help a lot during on-site set up - much easier/safer to remain hidden a few miles from the rifts site for a few hours rather than half a day.
Konan's probably good enough to take over the research if they still have the rift scar in hand, but I'd expect Sasori dying to delay them by at least several months
Huh. I think this is pretty plausible, though I'd still bet on it being a continuity error that'll be retconned once the QMs get around to it.TFW Orochimaru died, and his revival-memory-glitch means he forgot our team knows about runecrafting
Maybe we should throw some salt over our right shoulder and see if he feels compelled to count it 🤔

[X] Check Orochimaru's ears for parasites
Not sure she is. She's "jounin-level" according to Oro, which means Sealing at low 60s or possibly 59; that might not be enough for work this delicate.
... This is bringing my concern about what Oro's Sealing stat is up again. Hazou had to pass TN 60 checks in order to make spec-jounin, so it does seem likely that a "jounin-level" sealmaster has Sealing in a 60-slot. Oro thinks Sasori is decisively better than Konan (I assume), meaning he probably has Sealing 70 ... and Oro also thinks that he is decisively better than Sasori.
That would seem to suggest that Oro's Sealing/Biosealing stat is in an 80-slot, or at least high 70-slot. I think the players previously dismissed this possibility based on the idea that Oro would have to have Ath/Alt/offence as capstones, but in the last update, he said:
Which suggests that his combat skills are not in fact his capstones, and he uses biosealing to compensate for this (assuming that Oro does in fact have at least one 80-stat, which seems nearly certain).
If true, this has significant implications for the widespread hivemind perception that we are currently Oro's approximate peer. Granted, Oro is extremely arrogant, and he has huge amounts of veterency which conceivably could be compensating for a relatively low numeric stat, but ... I'm concerned about it.

Now hold on. Orochimaru is many things, but arrogant? My take would be he tends to back up his claims; his assessments of his capabilities, IMO, are accurate and come off as arrogant because he's a Essie, very intelligent, and a highly accomplished sealsmith/biosealer/THer.
It's not arrogance if you're right.
