BackgroundOrochimaru was an exceptionally skilled shinobi from the Hidden Leaf village. He was trained by Sarutobi and became one of the legendary Sannin. Despite being so talented, Orochimaru was greedy. He wanted to know every jutsu and have unrivaled power. As such, he began to capture and dissect fellow villagers in order to learn new jutsu. Sarutobi caught him, so Orochimaru left the Village.
Orochimaru has fought hand to hand, with various snake related jutsu, and with summons. All of his techniques are somehow related to snakes. He has been seen using the below jutsu:
Orochimaru is a key person in the plot. He first appears in the Forest of Death where he confronts squad seven. In the encounter, he notices the fox in Naruto and places a curse mark on Sasuke. As the series continues, Orochimaru confronts Kakashi who had just sealed the curse placed on Sasuke. During this time, Orochimaru is revealed to be the leader of the Sound village.
Orochimaru is out of sight until the Attack on the Hidden Leaf Village. He took the place of the Kazekage in order to get close to Sarutobi. Orochimaru fought Sarutobi to Sarutobi's death. In this battle, Orochimaru used the Reanimation jutsu to cause the First and Second Hokage's to fight the Third. Against Orochimaru's plans, Sarutobi used Enma and the Reaper Death Seal to lock away their souls. In conclusion of their fight, Sarutobi took away Orochimaru's arms, and thus his jutsu.
