Notes (for those who are not/not anymore familiar with the story of FMA):
- 1 (3rd panel): Xing is a land in the FMA-universe, where people are martial arts masters and expert alchemists. I would guess that it is the manga equivalent for the far east in our world :D
- 2 (3rd panel): Al is supposed to have an immortal body because: < spoiler 1 >

Notes (for those who aren't familiar with FMA+Naruto):
- 1 (2nd panel): Al uses alchemy to create "snakes" made of earth and let them move as he wishes. Orochimare takes this a jutsu (a ninja technique). His first guess Al is a doton (earth type) jutsu user, meaning he can "control" earth. Then he notices the rough uneven bruises on Al's summoning (bruises on a transmutation can occur when transmuting earth/rock/concrete as seen here, here or here. Thus Orochimaru assumes Al used a kinjutsu (= a forbidden technique) called Edo Tensei which is also accompanied by debris (bruises/desintegrating/crumbling as seen here )
- 2 (3rd panel): Kuchiose no jutsu is a summoning jutsu. First it makes POOF! and then the conjured creature appears (summonings in Naruto )
