edo tensei is a forbidden technique and it is not something you can do coz you want to do, you need a lot of preparation. And though tobirama developed the technique it was not perfect and orichimaru was still practicing to make it perfect,and as you might know, you need DNA of the person you gonna summon

I know, but he had so much DNA and its not like he wasn't already wanted. Having so many subjects and performing experiments on them is also forbidden, but Orochimaru still did it.
