Kabuto had Orochimaru's DNA and a sacrifice, so why did he not use the Edo
Tensei? Or couldn't he have used Anko, like Sasuke did?

Why didn't/couldn't Kabuto bring Orochimaru back?


Because Orochimaru was never dead. He was just sealed. Well, maybe "sealed" is
not the right term. Every curse mark holds some a part of Orochimaru's chakra.
And Sasuke reversed the cursed seal on Anko with the flesh from Kabuto to
bring him back -

This is from chapter 593.

PS: Almost same thing happened when Sasuke fought Itachi.

Kabuto had Anko for a reason. He knew Orochimaru was inside her and he wanted
to absorb his remaining chakra into himself. This is why he led Anko to the
graveyard to ambush.
