manga-embed-btm-3
    Orochimaru was once a student of the Third Hokage, Sasutobi, but betrayed Konoha and has become one of its most hated enemies.  Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were originally teammates.  They were such skillfulyoung Orochimaru shinobi that they gained the title of the “Three Legendary Ninja” or “Sannin.”  Orochimaru was Sarutobi’s favorite and he took him under his guidance since Orochimaru had lost his parents at a young age. However, he soon realized there was a dark side to Orochimaru.

    Orochimaru craved for power and would use any means to obtain it.  Sarutobi had originally wanted Orochimaru to succeed him as the next Hokage of Konoha,Orochimaru in leaf ninja gear but realizing his pupil’s dark ambitions, he nominated Jiraiya’s student instead.  Orochimaru was angered by this and continued his pursuit of power in other ways. He eventually developed an obsession for obtaining immortality and started learning and developing forbidden jutsus.  When Sarutobi discovered that Orochimaru had been abducting villagers for hisOrochimaru caught in his lab experiments, he confronted his pupil but could not bring himself to kill him.  After this event, Orochimaru left Konoha but vowed to one day return and bring total destruction to the shinobi village.

    After leaving Konoha, Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki organization as one of its ten ring-bearing members; his ring, ‘Void’, is on the pinky of the left hand.  His partner was Sasori, and the two apparently accomplished many great feats for Akatsuki.  However, Orochimaru’s desire for power never waned and he Orochimaru's Akatsuki ring, still on severed handeventually attempted to defeat Itachi Uchiha in order to steal his body and gain the Sharingan ability for himself.  But Orochimaru was no match for Itachi’s genjutsu abilities; he was easily defeated and had his left hand severed.  Humiliated, Orochimaru fled Akatsuki, taking his ring with him. He later takes over the small country known as the Land of Rice Fields and forms the Hidden Village of Sound (Otogakure).

    After years of preparation, Orochimaru set into motion his first attempt at destroying Konoha.  He manipulated the Hidden Village of Sand (Sunagakure) into allying with Sound by murdering the Fourth Kazekage and disguising himself in his place.  Sand and Sound coordinated their attack on Konoha afterOrochimaru's arms sealed infiltrating the village during the chuunin exam.  However, the fierce resistance of Konoha’s shinobi managed to repel their attack.  Orochimaru and his former sensei, Sarutobi, had their final battle where the Hokage lost his life.  Sarutobi sacrificed his life to place a powerful seal on Orochimaru’s arms, rendering them useless and effectively preventing him from performing anymore jutsus. Orochimaru was forced to flee from the village.

    After a failed attempt to convince Tsunade to heal his arms, Orochimaru turned to his other option: body transfer justu.  Orochimaru had achieved pseudo immortality by transferring his soul from body to body using his Living Corpse Reincarnation jutsu.  However, after three years, the body will begin toOrochimaru attempts to take over Sasuke reject him, forcing Orochimaru to seek a new host.  Because he could not obtain the Sharingan from Itachi, Orochimaru turned to his next best alternative, Sasuke.  With the promise of power to defeat his brother, Orochimaru lured Sasuke into betraying Konoha and becoming his apprentice.  Although Sasuke was well aware of Orochimaru’s intentions of using him as his next host, he was willing to accept his fate as long as it granted him the power to kill Itachi.  But nearing the day of Orochimaru’s body transfer, in a surprising move, Sasuke turned on Orochimaru and defeated him in his own dimension.

    Whether Orochimaru is truly dead is unknown. A fanatical Kabuto, Orochimaru’s former right-hand man, has incorporated parts of Orochimaru into his own body.  Slowly, his body has begun transforming, with the possibility that Orochimaru may be reborn again.
