OROCHIMARU'S BACKGROUND

    OROCHIMARU'S BACKGROUND-

    Orochimaru was originally a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi as part of a three-man team, consisting of himself, Jiraiya and Tsunade. Even at a young age, Orochimaru stood out as a prodigy — his talents, knowledge, and determination were
    considered by his sensei a prodigy only seen
    once in a generation. During the Second Shinobi World War , Orochimaru and his former team-mates fought Hanzō, who gave them the title of Konoha's "Three Legendary Shinobi" (伝説の三忍, Densetsu no Sannin) as a reward for surviving their battle. [4] On their way back to Konoha, they encountered the Ame Orphans, who Orochimaru opted to kill to put them out of their misery but
    Jiraiya chose to train them instead.

    According to Tsunade, Orochimaru had always
    been twisted, even back when he was a child.
    His sadistic attitude was presumably due to the
    death of his parents, which led him to study kinjutsu and eventually becoming obsessed with learning all ninjutsu. Jiraiya theorized that
    Orochimaru went down this path in an attempt
    to forget his painful memories. Sarutobi in
    particular had very high hopes for Orochimaru,
    often berating the clumsy Jiraiya and telling him
    he should be more like his team-mate. After becoming the Third Hokage, Sarutobi hoped that one day Orochimaru would succeed him. He
    eventually became Anko Mitarashi's mentor, teaching her ninjutsu and taking her, along with
    nine others, as a subject for the Cursed Seal of Heaven.

    While Orochimaru's ambitions did include
    becoming the Fourth Hokage, his eyes were set upon goals quite alien to the ideals traditionally
    associated with the title and emphatically
    embraced by his teacher. Hiruzen knew that "a
    shinobi's true strength will manifest when
    protecting something important", and the
    Hokage's role is to love and protect the people of the village as if they were a family. For
    Orochimaru, however, Hokage was nothing
    more than a potential conquest on the way to
    what truly interested him: power. This mindset
    influenced the image he had on people around
    him, with a young Ibiki Morino seeing him as "something in human in human form".

    Hiruzen had hoped
    to make his student
    see the error of his
    ways, but as more
    time passed, it
    became evident that Orochimaru
    was a lost cause.
    When Hiruzen
    finally retired years
    later he chose a student of Jiraiya's, Minato Namikaze, over Orochimaru as his successor, thus making Minato the Fourth Hokage. Realising that
    he had hit a dead end in his quest to become the
    ultimate being and therefore had nothing to gain
    from staying in Konoha, Orochimaru began to be less discreet with his actions.

    Over the years, he had been kidnapping his
    fellow Konoha shinobi and used them as human
    guinea pigs. He experimented on them to develop
    techniques that would grant him immortality, as
    he had already decided that he would settle for
    no less than to learn all of the techniques in the world (a task that would take much more than
    one human lifetime). When the many
    disappearances were finally traced to
    Orochimaru, Hiruzen knew that it was his duty to kill him.[6] At the time however, Hiruzen was unable to bring himself to kill his prized student for whom he had such high hopes.

    Before Orochimaru defected, he kidnapped sixty
    children and injected them with the First Hokage's DNA, hoping to recreate the First's Wood Release jutsu. Before he could finish his work he was forced to leave Konoha, but he
    believed all the test subjects to be dead. Yamato was the only survivor of the experiments, and
    had gained the use of the wood element.
    Orochimaru conducted similar experiments on Danzō, endowing the elder with the Wood Release and multiple Sharingan.

    Orochimaru defected from the village and joined
    the elite criminal organisation of Akatsuki . His former team-mate, Jiraiya, tried to convince him
    to reconsider, but to no avail. Although the role
    Orochimaru played in Akatsuki is unclear, it is
    known that he was partnered with Sasori prior to his defection (the two apparently had great
    respect for each other when they were partners;
    Sasori also claimed that he and Orochimaru did a
    lot of good deeds when they were together in
    the organisation).

    It was around this time that Itachi Uchiha joined Akatsuki after conducting the Uchiha clan massacre. Orochimaru saw his opportunity to gain possession of the Sharingan, and soon
    Orochimaru made his attempt to steal Itachi's
    body. Orochimaru tried to use his Living Corpse Reincarnation, but Itachi used his Sharingan to reverse it and cut off Orochimaru's left hand to
    prevent him from breaking the genjutsu, causing him to leave Akatsuki to acquire a new body. [8] For Orochimaru's defection, Sasori developed a
    grudge, and sent a brainwashed Kabuto Yakushi to spy on him, however, Orochimaru undid the
    brainwashing and Kabuto became the loyal right-
    hand man of Orochimaru. He eventually founded
    his own village, Otogakure, to perform various
    experiments on his prisoners. Orochimaru had
    also searched for the Totsuka Sword, an ethereal sword for all his life, unaware that it was in the
    possession of Itachi's Susanoo.

    At some point, when the Kaguya clan attempted to destroy Kirigakure and were themselves destroyed instead, Orochimaru was on the
    outskirts of the village, watching and
    commenting on their foolishness. It is there that
    he met Kimimaro and, Kimimaro being the sole survivor, was taken in by Orochimaru, in the
    hopes of becoming his new vessel.Source URL: https://funcartoongallery.blogspot.com/2011/06/orochimaru-background.html
