OROCHIMARU'S ABILITIES

    OROCHIMARU'S STRENGTH-

    Being one of the Sannin, as well as a former
    member of the S-rank criminal organisation
    Akatsuki, Orochimaru is an extraordinarily
    powerful ninja. His powers, which can easily be
    considered Kage-level, were so great that during
    the time of his invasion in Konoha, the Third Hokage feared no one in the village would be
    able to defeat him or fight on equal footing with
    him, even the Third himself. Even Kakashi, one of
    Konoha's greatest shinobi, was stiff with
    tremendous fear and awe when he met him
    during the time of the Chūnin Exams, and himself admitted he wouldn't even stand a chance
    against his power.

    He was able to hold his own against a four-tailed Naruto Uzumaki in Part II while his body was in a weakened state, and despite the danger Naruto
    imposed, he found the battle highly entertaining.
    Even then, his body gave in, he expressed regret
    that he couldn't complete the battle. Even among
    the Sannin, he was the one who originally stood
    out for individual ability. Due to him rarely being shown fighting, he has only displayed a limited
    amount of techniques, although it stands to
    reason that in his efforts to learn all existing jutsu,
    his array of abilities has probably become larger
    than any other single character. He has a vast
    knowledge in all forms of jutsu. He also has immense strength in the anime, as when he was
    walking to Tanzaku Quarters he was immensely
    frustrated by the pain he was in and used only a
    kick to knock down a tree. His fighting style is
    very fluid and he is nearly invulnerable to most
    conventional techniques, even being bisected couldn't even slow him down. He even survived
    a direct punch from Tsunade's monstrous super strength and all it did was damage the skin that
    made up his face mask. And he has shown that,
    although he was extremely crippled from the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he could still use several ninjutsu without using hand seals.

    OROCHIMARU'S NINJUTSU-

    Wishing to obtain all of the jutsu in the world,
    Orochimaru has a vast arsenal of techniques at
    his disposal, ranging from simple offensive ones,
    which nonetheless become deadly when
    performed by him, to higher ranking, more
    complicated ones. In the anime, of the few techniques he was seen using is the Earth Release Shadow Clone, which creates a copy of himself out of mud that can attack on his behalf.
    He was also able to utilize Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, through which he can level a wide area with a powerful gust of wind. In
    terms of defensive techniques, Orochimaru uses
    both Summoning: Rashōmon and Summoning: Triple Rashōmon, in which he summons a varying number of large demonic gates that are
    capable of enduring the most intense forms of
    damage. If need be, he can also place a Five Elements Seal on an opponent, sealing off their access to chakra and thus rendering them useless
    in battle.

    Orochimaru was one of the three people capable
    of performing Summoning: Impure World Resurrection, which allowed him to revive the dead; the technique was developed but left
    incomplete by the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru himself completed the technique. To
    perform the technique, Orochimaru must sacrifice
    a living human so that the soul of the deceased
    person can be tied to the living world. The
    sacrificed body is then surrounded with dirt and
    dust that compacts into the shape of the summoned soul's original body. Although the
    revived retain their original memories and
    personalities, thus leaving them out of the control
    of Orochimaru, however he can suppress their
    free wills with his own special seal to force them
    to do his bidding. The bodies of the resurrected are also able to regenerate any wound, meaning
    the only way to defeat them is to remove the
    soul within them.

    OROCIMARU'S IMMORTALITY TECHNIQUES-

    In his quest to gain immortality, Orochimaru has
    made a number of modifications to his body,
    resulting in his natural form taking on the
    appearance of a giant, white snake composed of
    many smaller snakes. The snakes that compose
    Orochimaru's body can extend themselves to strike and bind the targets, and if Orochimaru is
    sliced to pieces, the body simply can reform,
    making him very difficult to kill. Also, the blood
    that is released by killing the snakes is also
    poisonous, evaporating into the air and
    paralysing anyone who has breathed it in, something that makes long lasting fights against
    him a bad choice.

    The primary use of the form is with his Living Corpse Reincarnation, which allows him to transfer his soul to another body and extend his
    life indefinitely. To use this jutsu, Orochimaru
    leaves his former body, revealing his true form.
    Once he has done this, he swallows the new
    body and transports its current inhabitant to a
    dimension within himself where he absorbs them, thus allowing him to take over their body.
    Orochimaru can only perform this technique once
    every three years, which is also around the time
    that his new body begins to reject him and
    forces him to find a new host. Although he might
    leave their bodies behind, the souls of those whose bodies he has taken always remain
    within Orochimaru's subconscious. After taking
    over another body, Orochimaru modifies it to suit
    his theme of snakes, in order to increase his
    survival capabilities, such as stretching and bending his body, reconnect his body from bisection and shedding his skin to heal injuries. Thus, even if Orochimaru is unable to transfer
    bodies, he can easily heal and evade attacks
    rendering him virtually immortal. Orochimaru also alters the face of his host body to look like his original form.

    OROCHIMARU'S SNAKE ABILITIES-

    Orochimaru's trademark trait was his affinity
    with snakes that, in addition to impacting the
    appearance and composition of his true form,
    and granting him the ability to extend his limbs
    to abnormal lengths and to take on snake-like
    traits in battle, caused him to learn a number of snake-related abilities. One such ability was being
    able to summon giant snakes to fight alongside him in battle, made possible by the summoning
    contract tattooed on his arm. His signature
    summon was Manda, a colossal snake which was described as the largest in the world, with
    immense fighting capabilities. With Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, Orochimaru could instantly call forth snakes from his sleeves and mouth to
    attack opponents in large numbers with
    poisonous bites. A stronger variation of this
    technique was the Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, in which the summoned snakes grow noticeably in both numbers and size.

    Another usage of snakes came in the form of his
    signature weapon, the Kusanagi Sword, the Kusanagi of Japanese legend. The sword, kept within the mouth of a snake within his own
    throat, was able to extend to great lengths to
    attack enemies that are far away, could be controlled remotely by Orochimaru, and could return to him by turning in a snake. Although he
    was capable of wielding the sword normally
    with great proficiency, it was not uncommon for
    him to use it without ever removing it from his
    mouth. The sword was stated to be able to cut
    through almost anything, and despite failing to penetrate Four-Tailed Naruto's chakra shroud, did
    push him back an incredible length. He was also
    capable of having numerous Kusanagi-like blades sprout from the mouth of the snakes he
    summoned.

    His strongest technique was the Eight Branches Technique, which allowed him to transform into an eight-headed, eight-tailed giant serpent bigger
    than the already colossal Manda, another reference to the Japanese myth. This was described as the ultimate snake-related
    technique, which turned the user into an
    immensely powerful "Dragon God".Source URL: https://funcartoongallery.blogspot.com/2011/06/orochimaru-abilities.html
