Anko's was supposed to be one of the first ones He used, and was decades old. So how long they were on a person might be a factor. Anko's might have been weaker due to it being over a decade old. Or due to years of non-use, or not being near Orochimaru to replenish it. Or it might have been because the trio's seals were freshly made and fully charged with Orochimaru's chakra. Or still in the process of anchoring themselves, and interrupting that process caused the damage.

I love it.

It could go either way, really.
Gara's automated sand defense could probably kill Kabuto easily if Kabuto isn't careful enough, while Kabuto's chakra scapples are probably one of the few techniques that could easily penetrate the layer of sand coating Gara's skin.
They could even manage to take each other out for a double KO!
Or double KIA...
But Kabuto has got to get close enough to Gara to even have a chance of killing him, which isn't going to be easy at all.

Kabuto, at this point in canon, is at most on Anko's level. And does not have the kind of Bullshit required to actually pierce Gaara's defenses. Keep in mind that Lee is an absolute monster with his Gates open. Also rank doesn't mean shit, as Naruto has demonstrated. Repeatedly. Additionally, BS is required to kill almost all the Jinchuriki, because Bijuu cloak is... a pain to deal with.
I just found this and I like that this has a bit more action than your other stories. I don't know how, but you somehow have two 1 million plus word stories in Worm that are somehow both slice of life with very little action. Granted, they are both excellent and humorous, but I like the pace and action in this story more.

I agree, every member of the Akatsuki is some manner of BS or another and they worked in PAIRS to take down each of the Jinchuriki. Even if it was one fighting and the other waiting to help they generally went 2 on 1 with the exception of Pain, who has the Rinnegan and with his paths made the fight closer to 6-ish on 1. Only way for someone not BS to beat a Jinchuriki is for the Jinchuriki to not know what they're doing and have no control over their beast. In cannon that is only young Naruto and Gaara, both of whom are about 12-13 with minimal levels of training if not sabotaged training for Naruto and Gaara being something of a 1 trick pony, its a great trick but if someone gets around it he has no counter. Even then. Gaara had training and some skill and took Naruto and multiple others to take him down with the help of a Summon Boss who are definitely out of most normal peoples league.

I'm pretty sure that he was made dangerously psychotic by the constant assassination attempts capped off with his uncle trying to kill him.

They are understood more like software copies and links to his soul . I believe

Which were made because of his being a jinchuriki, so the point is still "technically correct" the best kind of correct.

As I understand it, unlike Horcruxes they're just tiny little shards so that if he dies he can find them again and possess them with his full spirit. Being only small pieces, and this being a much more spiritual setting, he can probably heal up the missing pieces pretty easily so long as he's not handing out 10,000 nibbles of his soul at once.
Well, I certainly can't argue with that. Well I could, but it wouldn't overcome the overwhelming advantage of technicality.
Um, Voldemort did not suffer in any way from his Horcruxes in canon. Any such idea is fanon.

I think he was assuming the crumbling to ash that Volde did upon death was because of his Horcruxes, instead of being because he was literally in a humonculous made of a bit of blood, a single bone, some dude's hand, and an ass-ton of magical handwaving, which then lost the magic sustaining it.

So, who's exactly left in the exam?
More than sixteen means at least six teams.
So far we know the following five should be in:
- Team Yurei
- Team Gai
- Team Baki
- Team Seven
- Kabuto's team
The rest of the rookies are out. Yugito's team seems like a good candidate for the sixth team.

Ok, time to prepare the popcorn and the cola. It will be... fun.
Considering that in canon Orochimaru had an entire base (the one where Juugo was contained in) staffed full with Cursed Seal Bearers, it is not a problem for him.
I suspect that, to use medical metaphors, Voldy Moldy use bags of blood for his Soul Anchors, whereas Orochi uses clipped nails for his.

Well, the main component of the cursed seals is based on Jugo's kekkai genkai, with a bit of Orochi's chakra mixed in. Exactly how it preserves Orochi is pretty vague, as it's mentioned as containing part of his "consciousness," rather than his soul per-se, and there's some plot holes around it as well. Like, is it actually a piece of his soul? A link to his soul through the sample of his chakra, that acts like an extra "body" to keep him in the "Impure world" (aka: the land of the living), by connecting to his whole soul? Etc. I would personally guess at it being meant as the second of those two in canon, as it would also explain why he's able to trigger the seals remotely against their holders' will. CmptrWz likes to use fanon for things though, so in this story they're probably more or less horcruxes, yeah.
Also, because Anko's was a prototype it most likely is just a difference between the prototype and the final production version. Finished version is even harder to remove, etc.

Eh, it's most likely the fact that all three of Team 7's seals auto-activated the first time they woke up after Orochimaru inflicted the three with them, leading the seals to be (at least temporarily) rooted a little deeper than they would ordinarily be at this time and thus the additional resistance to being removed.
The Hicky Remover Seals still worked. It just... took longer and caused some discomfort.

He forfeited when the proctor asked if anyone wanted to withdraw, because there were an odd number of participants. If there are an even number, letting them pair the genin up without remainder, then the option might not be given this time.
Wasn't the proctor also a plant/mole for Orochimaru? I thought he was in there with the rest of the preliminary contestants in disguise.
Karin's teammates were dead before Orochimaru found Team 7.Is that what happened to Karin team in this time line? Oh well, nothing of value was lost.
Some of the bleeding was "the seal prevents the bite from healing for a couple of weeks."
And why wouldn't Orochimaru want a potential mental hook into three people that obviously are strong enough to survive the beast-man experiment without him being there to stabilize them afterwards?
Ninja being ninja. "This information is too obvious, so it must be false!"
Team 7 went RIP AND TEAR...on one of Suna's teams.
Remove the traumatic experience with the massacre and Sasuke is a lot less likely to want to bite your head off for talking to him.
And in this story (and my headcanon for canon itself), Ino not only knows about the inners, but has one and helped Sakura set one up before their friendship went funny due to chasing after Sasuke.
...not that their friendship went funny due to chasing after Sasuke here. Sakura latched onto Sasuke, Ino remains more interested in Naruto.
There were multiple types of Cursed Seal, and it seems that the ones that contain enough of Orochimaru to be used to bring him back from the dead are the most likely to kill you. Which is why Sasuke had to hunt down Anko to use the evil releasing method to bring Orochimaru back through the seal instead of just finding someone else with a cursed seal.
That happened to be the only variant Orochimaru was ready to place on anyone in the forest here, so he used it on all three genin.
The proctor was not a plant/mole, but Orochimaru was pretending to be the jounin-sensei for Team Oto at the time of the preliminary matches. Presumably with the "real" jounin-sensei still alive to play the role while Orochimaru was playing the role of Rasa later.
