Orochimaru (大蛇丸, Orochimaru) is the comical main antagonist of the series. He is a missing-nin from Konohagakure and the founder of Otogakure as well as one of the Legendary Sannin.
Appearance[]
Orochimaru still maintains his original form – having ashen skin with waist-length black hair. He has amber eyes with slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes — a reference to his snake-like nature.
Personality[]
Orochimaru's various human experiments took place to serve two purposes, most prominent of which was his desire to learn every technique in the world. Many people, including Tsunade, often referred to him as "the twisted one". Jiraiya speculated that this was since both of his parents died when he was at a very young age, and flashbacks showed during his battle with the Third Hokage speak to this effect.
Ninjutsu[]
Snake Techniques[]
Orochimaru can use many snake-related abilities such as Snake Fist, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, and many more.
Summoning Technique[]
Orochimaru can summon Manda the giant snake to help him if he is in a dire situation.
