Orochimaru got his hands sealed when he was fighting against Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He got his hands back much later during the war. But when he was fighting 4
tails Naruto at the beginning of Shippuden, he summoned three Rashomon. At
that time he still didn't have his hands, so how did he manage to do that?

How did Orochimaru use Triple Rashomon with his hands sealed?


After Hiruzen used the Reaper Death Seal,
[Orochimaru](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru) arms were immobilized
and was unable to do anything with them (ie, perform justu). As a result,
Orochimaru was forced to find a new host for his soul due to his current
host's condition progressively got worse.

Transferring his soul into a new host cured the _physical_ ailments of
Orochimaru's conditions. While his soul was still damaged _spiritually_ , he
could at least perform justus that did not require hand seals.

Summoning justu does not require hand seals. Instead, summoning only requires
a blood sacrifice and summoning seal.
