...In some instances, small, self-inflicted harms will produce blood so that the summoned can use summoning techniques,[62] for an example, although greater harms won't make the summoner bleed...
Unless I missed something, if Bocc already cursed Kamui before, then it was entirely unecessary for him to acquire more of Kamui's blood, unless becoming an Edo Tensei zombie nullified that, which is unlikely since Edos can still have blood drawn from them, though only if the injury is self inflicted apparently.
Of course, that's not the main issue being debated here. What is the main issue is whether the mark would still be viable after all of this time. The room is not completely free of the elements, otherwise, it would not be dusty. So, presuming that it has been months IC since the marking of the seal, it is not far-fetched to say that the blood may have degenerated.
However, the 1st and 2nd Hokage were brought back via Edo Tensei; I presume that some of the bloodstains in their armor were used, if i recall correctly. Those two farts died decades before Orochimaru brought them back.
Of course, it can be argued that it was merely dead cells that were used, not blood per say, in which case, I will have to keep looking for the chapter/episode that went into details about how Oro brought those two back.
It is surprisingly difficult believe it or not, since it isn't an episode highlight, nor does the wiki explanation of the situation provide any other citation other than Kabuto's. I watched that episode and, frankly, all it did was tell me that a fixed portion of flesh containing DNA works, which does not necessarily mean blood.
Long story short, the blood may have degenerated after all of this time, simply because the room is dusty. Dust can be a rather destructive thing over a long period of time, so regardless of how long the hideout has been in use by Bocc, dust accumulation might would damage the validity of the marking. Of course, it would not be much of a chore to restore it with some fresh, undusty blood.
That's my two cents on it.
