Why orochimaru turn evil

Orochimaru also use this Jutsu to assume take the identities of others one he kills them. A side effect of the Transference Ritual is that the souls of the bodies Orochimaru took became a part of his overall subconscious, causing some of their traits to slightly affect the choices he makes. For this process, Orochimaru needs only a genetic sample of the ninja he wishes to bring back to life and the body of a living ninja to be sacrificed as the reanimated ninja's vessel.

From there, Orochimaru can bend the near indestructible reanimated ninja to his will. He could also reincarnate the Third Kazekage to fight for him if he wished. After using his Transference Ritual on a White Zetsu , obtaining Hashirama's DNA as a result, Orochimaru's influence on reanimated ninja intensified though Hashirama himself is immune to his control , this allowed Orochimaru to revive and control anyone at near their full power other than Hashirama, and presumably Madara. Orochimaru is one of the few to ever master all 5 Nature Transformations.

His skill in Wind Release can create a powerful gust of wind and he is powerful enough with Fire Release to burn Naruto while he was augmented by Kyuubi. With Earth Release, he is able to create a copy of himself out of mud to fight for his behalf. Orochimaru's mastery of Ninjutsu also extends to being masterful in more esoteric field such as Genjutsu, capable of binding the likes of Sasuke and Sakura at once with ease despite their own resistance to it and creating genjutsu pills strong enough to subdue the Eight Tails Jinchuruki along with the Tailed Beast itself, Space-Time Ninjutsu, creating a technique capable of transporting and trapping the souls of others in a barrier, and Barrier Ninjutsu, capable of conjuring a barrier that melts anything inside it.

However, by combining Sage Chakra with the enzyme provided by Jugo, he was able to create the Cursed seals and the increased power it grants.

Having branded his Curse Marks on Anko, Sasuke, Kimimaro , Sakon and Ukon , Tayuya , Jirobo , Kidomaru , Orochimaru essentially gave them each a piece of his consciousness that would be used to recreate his physical form if destroyed or disposed of.

Despite the limitation, he does have enough knowledge to both release another person's Sage Mode and absorb the senjutsu chakra inside them as seen with Kabuto. Orochimaru's greatest asset is perhaps his extreme intellect.

He is an extraordinary planner and manipulator, having evaded capture from both Konoha and the Akatsuki, all the while setting up a network of fully supplied hideouts throughout various countries. He was also able to manipulate the entire village of Sunagakure into invading Konoha, by posing as the Fourth Kazekage without anyone noticing, having killed the real one before the invasion.

He is an exceptional leader with great charisma, capable of manipulating multiple people into becoming his willing pawns and guinea pigs for his experiments, using a combination of manipulation, insight into a victim's past and the promise of power to gain their loyalty. The greatest examples of this are Kabuto and Kimimaro, who idolised the Sannin and showed nothing but absolute loyalty and respect for him.

Out of the greatest of his incredible intellectual talents is his incredible mastery of science: He is capable of genetically modifying and cloning other test subjects. Most notably, Orochimaru was able to rewrite Yamato's DNA to match that of Hashirama's in the attempt to recreate his considerable powers.

Although Yamato survived the procedure, he was a success among many failures. The horn itself not only grew to its original size, but also produced vast amounts of chakra identical to the latter. Kabuto once noted that, in order to prevent anyone from gaining knowledge from his test subjects, Orochimaru could protect the cellular structure of his experiments.

In the anime, Orochimaru also showed himself advanced in mechanical engineering, able to produce a sophisticated robot with advanced weaponry and physical parameters, and a replica of the Nine-Tails with just as much power as the original.

While he still has some sketchy ploys and schemes going on, and even more ethically questionable experiments, he isn't cutting throats as casually as before. The violence in his life has definitely decreased. Fans have to admit that's an impressive change for the terrifying Sannin.

Despite his machinations getting less bloody, Orochimaru doesn't seem any less full of himself. He still sees his brilliance and power to be better than everyone else. No wonder, considering he derived all his children from re-sequences of his own DNA, nothing else mixed in. That guy has a serious superiority complex. Some of his better improvements don't really effect this part of him. Like before, when he was a more frightening villain, he still sees everyone as a lesser being.

He's the only person he respects. And while the Sannin gives his son slightly more respect, part of it is because he just sees Mitsuki as an extension of himself. Considering Orochimaru used to collect zealous followers so he could bleed them dry whenever he wanted, the fact he's stopped doing that is a big improvement.

Half his plans used to include chopping his goons in half to do something evil and manipulative. Making Hiruzen fight off against the first Hokage and his friend, the Second Hokage by sacrificing two followers? As well as face Orochimaru himself?

Not exactly fair, especially when the Third Hokage was an elderly man. Let's all be thankful he stopped using his subordinates as meat to be churned for his experiments or revenge plots.

They all deserved better than that. Naruto and Sasuke used the Planetary Devastation technique to seal away Kaguya and re-divide her into the nine Tailed Beasts once again. Kaguya isn't even human; there's no real way for Naruto so sway her heart or appeal to her humanity since there's none.

Zabuza Momochi and Haku aren't really villains either. They were hired killers, yes, but they did have some interest in the well-being of Kirigakure, or the Village Hidden in the Mist. They adhered to their code and would have fought to the last against Kakashi and Team 7, but, more than anything, Haku and Zabuza were unfortunate souls. In the end, Zabuza died fighting against the crimelord, Gato.

When they were resurrected by the Edo Tensei, Zabuza and Haku had no interest in partaking in Obito's grand plan, and they begged Kakashi to finish him quickly and even expressed interest in how well Naruto and Team 7 were faring. Kimimaro Kaguya is one of those rare characters where the audience learns how grave and tragic their backstory is, but Kimimaro stays a villain to the last.

The Kaguya Clan was quite brutal, and Kimimaro himself had a degenerative disease, but he still fought to his last breath to try to kill Rock Lee and Gaara. Kimimaro was resurrected by the Edo Tensei as well, but this didn't result in an opportunity for redemption for Kimimaro. His teammates, Kakashi and Rin saw an entire collapsing on top of him. However, Obito survived and he was taken in by Madara. Obito grew up to be the real leader of Akatsuki. However, after Naruto successfully used the Talk-no-Jutsu against him, Obito realized his mistakes.

Later, he helped Naruto and the rest of Team 7 to beat down Kaguya Otsutsuki. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Danzo is the most hated character in the entire series. He was the driving force behind the massacre of the Uchiha Clan. Danzo wanted to protect the Hidden Leaf at all costs and he was willing to go to any lengths to protect it.

Danzo took advantage of the chaos after Pein's invasion of Konoha. He became the Hokage temporarily due to Tsunade's health. Danzo stuck to his principles until the very end where he was killed by Sasuke, and he even blew himself up in an attempt to take Sasuke down. If that weren't bad enough, Danzo also viewed his loyal Root followers as disposable tools, and treated them accordingly. Orochimaru was once a member of the Legendary Sannin. They used to be Hiruzen's favorite pupil and they were the prime candidate for the position of Fourth Hokage.

However, Orochimaru was deviant and they were chased out of the Hidden Leaf by Hiruzen. Orochimaru wanted to learn about each and every Jutsu and he managed to prolong his life with a special Jutsu. When Orochimaru was revived again by Sasuke, they helped Sasuke to reanimate the previous Hokage. Black Zetsu was the manifestation of Kaguya's will. To think that he was a person who manipulated the likes of Indra Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha is just shocking.

Black Zetsu changed the writing on the Uchiha stone tablet. Black Zetsu succeeded in reviving Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He normally keeps the blade within a snake's mouth inside his own throat and retrieves it by having it turn into a snake after use. Orochimaru can use all five basic nature transformations , along with Yin and Yang Release. In the anime, he can create mud-based clones. After taking over the body of a White Zetsu clone, modified with Hashirama's DNA, Orochimaru gained access to the latter's Wood Release — a simultaneous mixture of earth and water.

Orochimaru has an affinity for snakes, using the unique arm tattoo to quickly summon them for assistance, his largest and strongest being Manda. He can eject snakes from his sleeves or mouth to strike with; the snakes can sprout blades from their own mouths for deadlier effect.

Orochimaru can perform the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation , having further refined the kinjutsu developed by Tobirama Senju. Originally, despite improving this technique's quality compared to its creator, Orochimaru's reincarnated soldiers were still considerably diminished in overall capacities compared to when alive. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, after Orochimaru's own capacities and knowledge of the technique were further augmented from Kabuto's essence, his prowess was also increased, as he revived all four previous Hokage with nearly their full power and could use Hashirama's cells to strengthen his control.

Although his host body was not strong enough to enter Sage Mode , [19] Orochimaru developed another use for senjutsu chakra: his cursed seals. These cursed seals also enhance the power of one's techniques, [58] and serve as an extension of and anchor to Orochimaru's consciousness, allowing him to observe events through anyone branded by the seal.

He can even be revived any number of times from a cursed seal by using the Evil Releasing Method , provided there is a proper DNA source as a basis. Orochimaru has acquired a vast amount of information of the shinobi world from his time with organisations such as Root and Akatsuki , having set up a network of fully supplied hideouts throughout various countries. He has great charisma in manipulating people into becoming his pawns, providing insight into their past and promising them power in order to gain their loyalty.

In battle, he can deduce the workings of an enemy's fighting style and respond accordingly. Wanting to decipher all of the world's secrets, Orochimaru conducted extensive research and numerous experiments on himself and the DNA of other individuals to comprehend, attain, or reproduce their abilities. For a while, since leaving Konoha, Orochimaru left his hometown alone until the chance to destroy it presented itself. Orochimaru also used the invasion as an opportunity to test Sasuke Uchiha , Itachi's younger brother, if he can be of use as a vessel.

Using a snake summon to separate Naruto from Team 7 , the disguised Orochimaru subjected Sasuke to his Killing Intent with the youth unable to fight due to the fear instilled into him. After being subjected to Sasuke's Dragon Fire Technique as it partially burned off his disguise, Orochimaru expresses pride in Sasuke's abilities before branding his target with his Cursed Seal of Heaven and taking his leave. As he sends Team Dosu as sacrificial lambs to test Sasuke, having Kabuto accompany Team 7 to witness Sasuke use the curse seal's power, Orochimaru is confronted by Anko as he tells her that the Konoha will continue the exams under threat of his retaliation if they cancel it.

After Kakashi was able to seal away the mark on Sasuke, Orochimaru confronted him. He made no attempt to hide his envy of Kakashi's Sharingan, and noted before leaving that Sasuke will eventually come to him seeking power. Main article: Konoha Crush. Eventually, on the day of the final round matches, with all attack preparations complete, Orochimaru murdered the Fourth Kazekage and assumed his identity to sit next to Hiruzen to oversee the proceedings. However, the Konoha Crush began, Orochimaru makes his move to kill his former master.

Having the Sound Four discard the guises of the Kazekage's bodyguards, Orochimaru has them erect a barrier to hold the other Konoha ninja back to prevent any interference. Having regretting letting Orochimaru escape years earlier, Hiruzen agrees to battle his former pupil. Exhilarated that he could finally fight his former teacher, Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation to summon Hashirama Senju and his brother Tobirama to have the first two Hokage to attack their successor.

During the fight, Orochimaru reveals to Hiruzen the fruits of his labour from mastering Living Corpse Reincarnation with the host body he took after his brush-in with Itachi and his intention to make Sasuke into his next host.

Horrified on how far Orochimaru has truly went, with both his age and the regenerative abilities of the two first Hokage placing him in a grand disadvantage, Hiruzen resolves to stop Orochimaru with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal , sealing away the souls of the two Hokage prior to going after Orochimaru himself.

Not wishing to join the three Hokages' souls in being trapped within the Reaper's stomach, Orochimaru stabbed Hiruzen through the back of his chest with his Sword of Kusanagi before the weakened Hiruzen resolves to only seal the part of Orochimaru's soul within his arms.

Cursing the dying Hiruzen for robbing him of his use of ninjutsu, Orochimaru is carried off by the Sound Four with the invasion halted. Afterwards, Sunagakure broke ties with Orochimaru upon discovering the corpse of the Fourth Kazekage.

Main article: Search for Tsunade. After barely being able to stand the pain from his rotting arms, Orochimaru plans to have his condition healed by appealing Tsunade with the offer to reincarnate her Nawaki and Dan to win her cooperation. However, though she seemed to agree, Tsunade had actually intended to kill him to ensure he never attacks Konoha again. Kabuto intervened before she could do so, intending to force her to help before Jiraiya, Shizune and Naruto soon arrived to her aid.

While Orochimaru and Jiraiya having earlier been drugged by Tsunade and thus unable to properly perform techniques faced off, Kabuto battled Naruto before being defeated. Seeing this and seeing a potential threat, Orochimaru resolves to kill Naruto before Tsunade teams up with Jiraiya to face their former teammate. Despite summoning Manda , managing to hide his condition from the giant serpent as he fights Gamabunta, Orochimaru is forced to give up healing his arms and just take a new host body.

Main article: Sasuke Recovery Mission. Even though he had hoped to wait for Sasuke to grow older, Orochimaru sent his Sound Four to retrieve and bring Sasuke to him. Though the act undid most of the damage caused by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal , it still left Orochimaru incapable of using techniques requiring hand seals.

Main article: Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission Two and a half years later, a Yamato -led Team Kakashi , hoping to find Sasuke, learned of an opportunity from a dying Sasori that he was meeting with his spy, Kabuto.

Posing as Sasori within his Hiruko puppet, the group's temporary leader Yamato met with Kabuto while the others watched. However, Orochimaru arrived as Kabuto destroyed the Hiruko, with Orochimaru clarifying to a confused Kabuto that Sasori never came as the rest of Team Kakashi reveal themselves to fight the two ninja.

Although he was surprised to see Yamato has survived his experiments involving Hashirama's DNA, Orochimaru was more interested to see if Naruto had become as strong as "his Sasuke". When Naruto assumed his three-tailed form in response, Orochimaru eluded Naruto, enjoying the battle while provoking Naruto further. It was only after Naruto submitted to Kurama's influence and entered his mindless four-tailed form that Orochimaru took the fight seriously due to Naruto now being able to kill him and his host body beginning to reject him after he used his Kusanagi to force Naruto away.

Intrigued, Orochimaru and Kabuto took him back to their base. Later, after the rest of Team Kakashi arrived at the lair and Sai teamed up with them, Orochimaru confronted Sai and Naruto to question Sai about his loyalties. He fled before he could be drawn into another fight and later kept Sasuke from killing the team, noting that they might kill another Akatsuki member like they had done with Sasori.

Main article: Three-Tails' Appearance. In the anime, sensing that the time was close approaching to change vessels, Orochimaru sent Kabuto to find Guren , so that she could help with preparations for the process. Orochimaru eventually decided it was time to test Sasuke's abilities and watched in awe as he defeated an army of ninja, without killing any, and without receiving a scratch. As Sasuke walked off, Orochimaru admitted that while he used to be recognised as a genius, Sasuke's powers far surpassed his own when he was Sasuke's age.

Noticing that Guren was watching, he offered her another chance to prove herself worthy as Orochimaru's next vessel, which she was delighted with. He ordered Kabuto to be ready to eliminate her should she betray him. Later, after receiving word that the Konoha shinobi were complicating things, Orochimaru decided he might have to intervene personally. Orochimaru dismissed it as nothing more than a minor setback, saying that once he had Sasuke's body, it wouldn't make any difference. Main article: Itachi Pursuit Mission.

On the verge of being rejected by his current body, Orochimaru contemplated about the best way to take Sasuke's body. In the anime, he and Kabuto recapped all the events that led to Sasuke defecting and how much he had improved since. Before he could formulate his plan, however, Sasuke attacked him, having decided that Orochimaru was unworthy of having an Uchiha's body, and tried to kill him with Chidori Sharp Spear but only succeeds in piercing his arm.

Orochimaru proceeded to reveal his true body, a large white snake made of a multitude of smaller snakes in order to initiate the body-switch process.

Sasuke, however, cuts up Orochimaru's large snake body, only to realise that the vaporising blood was turning into a paralysis-type poison. Orochimaru then successfully started the body-switch process. Sasuke stopped the process like Itachi had done years earlier but took it a step further by turning the switch against Orochimaru, absorbing him into his own body. Sasuke gained access to some of Orochimaru's abilities but, at the same time, had to dedicate some of his chakra to suppressing Orochimaru.

Kabuto later took Orochimaru remains and transfused his blood into himself, giving him access to Orochimaru's abilities. Main article: Fated Battle Between Brothers. During the battle with Itachi, Sasuke ran low on chakra and Orochimaru was able to emerge from his cursed seal using his signature Eight Branches Technique. He marvelled at the fact that he would finally have the chance to take Sasuke's body, but was immediately pierced through by the blade held by Itachi's Susanoo.

At first Orochimaru boasted that it would take more than that to kill him, but he soon realised that he had been pierced by the Totsuka Sword that he himself had been searching for.

Orochimaru was then sealed away by Itachi's Susanoo, which had the effect of removing Sasuke's cursed seal in the process. Three white snakes escaped from Orochimaru's body as he was sealed, but at least one of these snakes was subsequently killed by the black flames of Amaterasu. Despite Suigetsu's fears of his next action as he reclaims the rest of his chakra that Kabuto took from him, Orochimaru explains that he is neither interested in Tobi's war nor strong enough to even attempt to take Sasuke's body if he wanted to.

However, Orochimaru, noting the change in his former student, does agree to take Sasuke to one who has the answers he wants. Arriving in Konohagakure , Orochimaru and the others sense Naruto 's chakra from a great distance away.

Noting that Sasuke was annoyed by this, Orochimaru pressed on with the group at the young man's behest. He led them to the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple to pick up a mask from the ruins, and then takes the group to the underground hall in the Naka Shrine.

Orochimaru proceeded to don the mask which invoked the Shinigami to possess his body. Orochimaru then proceeded to cut open the Shinigami's stomach, a wound reflected on his own body, to release the trapped contents inside the Shinigami.

To escape death, Orochimaru transferred his being in the White Zetsu Suigetsu was holding down. Once the Hokage were reincarnated, revealing he researched the means to undo the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, Orochimaru explained that his reasons for bringing them back were for them to aid Sasuke by giving him the information he desired. When Orochimaru accused the Second Hokage of being the one to cause the coup d'etat to surface, he was rebuffed by the Hokage who later explained that he had tried to save the Uchiha from themselves.

When Tobirama later declared that he was heading to the battlefield, Orochimaru's new vessel provided him with access to Hashirama's cells, allowing him to bind the Hokage. Noting that Hashirama had broken his control over him, Orochimaru is told by the First that he would first free Sasuke from the darkness which surrounded him.

During this course of events, Sasuke had a flashback about a conversation he and Orochimaru had as they made their way to Konoha where Sasuke stated that he does not believe Orochimaru's reasons to destroy Konoha were on a whim. After hearing Sasuke's decision to protect the village, Orochimaru announces that he will also help in the war effort against Madara.

When Hiruzen asks him after why he changed his mind after all these years, Orochimaru explains that he made an error in judgement from watching Kabuto act in his stead and is now interested to see the result of Sasuke's "different path" of not letting those who sacrificed themselves for the village go to waste.
