He is driven by unbridled curiosity: he wants to know every technique in the world and, to achieve that, infinite time. He sees others as study material and chooses his students and subordinates for their potential, not out of affection. He is patient, plans for the long term and enjoys testing those who interest him, especially Sasuke.

He swallows the team's scroll, paralyzes Sasuke and Sakura with sheer killing intent and subdues Naruto with a giant snake. Behind the disguise is Orochimaru, who temporarily seals the fox's chakra in Naruto, measures Sasuke's strength and bites his neck to leave the curse mark. Anko, his former student, catches up with him and discovers that the bodies of the real Kusa ninja have no faces. He neutralizes her effortlessly, explains that Sasuke interests him and warns her not to stop the exam. In a few chapters it becomes clear that the tournament hides a larger plan and that Sasuke is the piece he is after.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-50","pos":50},{"h":"A plan hidden in the exam","t":"While the preliminaries continue, Kakashi seals Sasuke's mark and Orochimaru appears behind him. He assures him the boy will come looking for him on his own, because he craves power, and leaves without fighting. Later he tasks Kabuto, the friendly genin who was helping Team 7, with capturing or killing Sasuke. Kakashi catches him in the hospital room and Kabuto escapes, making it clear he works for Orochimaru. So the plan's first round closes: the Sound ninja were his, the exam was a cover and his people had been infiltrated from the start. The reader begins to see that every seemingly chance encounter in the exam was part of a preparation for something bigger than Sasuke.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-89","pos":89},{"h":"The invasion of Konoha","t":"In the exam finals, the Kazekage attending beside the Third Hokage turns out to be Orochimaru in disguise. During the joint invasion by the Sand and the Sound, he takes his former teacher to a roof surrounded by a barrier and, with a forbidden technique, revives the first two Hokage to fight him. He also reveals his secret: he changes bodies to live indefinitely, which is why he wants Sasuke's eyes. Hiruzen responds with the Reaper Death Seal, takes the souls of the revived Hokage and, unable to tear out his student's whole soul, seals his arms. Orochimaru flees with the Sound Four, his arms useless and carrying his teacher's death.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-138","pos":138},{"h":"Tsunade and the battle of the Sannin","t":"With his arms sealed, Orochimaru cannot use techniques. He seeks out Tsunade in Tanzaku and offers her something terrible in exchange for healing him: reviving her brother Nawaki and Dan, the man she loved. She hesitates, but ends up attacking him. Jiraiya arrives and the fight grows into a battle among the three Sannin, with Manda, Gamabunta and Katsuyu on the field. Kabuto fights at his side and Naruto steps in with a newly learned Rasengan. In the end, beaten by Tsunade and unable to use his hands, Orochimaru withdraws. Before leaving he issues a warning: that he will come for Sasuke and that he is patient. The episode also shows the remains of a friendship: the three know each other too well to surprise one another.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-171","pos":171},{"h":"A replacement body and Sasuke's arrival","t":"His time to change bodies runs out before Sasuke arrives. While the Sound Four escort the boy, Orochimaru loses patience and asks Kabuto for a temporary vessel; in his hideout, some prisoners fight to the death for the promise of freedom, and he takes the body of one of them. That switch forces him to wait three years before he can try with Sasuke. When Sasuke finally reaches the hideout, determined to gain power to kill Itachi, Orochimaru has what he wanted: a talented student, with the Sharingan and with a reason to accept his help. Part I closes with Sasuke on the other side, and Orochimaru's clock ticking.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-238","pos":238},{"h":"The Tenchi Bridge","t":"In Shippūden, Yamato disguises himself as Sasori to meet at the Tenchi Bridge with the spy Sasori had within Orochimaru's group. The spy is Kabuto, who on seeing his master appear returns to his side. Naruto loses control and reaches the four-tailed form: Orochimaru barely withstands the chakra beam with a triple Rashōmon gate and answers with the Kusanagi sword. Sai, who was supposed to help, offers him a deal on Danzō's behalf, and Orochimaru takes him to his hideout. The arc shows he is no longer the all-out villain of Part I: the Akatsuki and Konoha surround him, and his old alliances are no longer safe.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-297","pos":297},{"h":"Sasuke strikes first","t":"Weakened and ill, Orochimaru waits for the moment of the switch, but Sasuke strikes first. He tells him he has nothing left to learn from him and attacks. Orochimaru abandons his body, shows his true form as a great white snake and drags Sasuke into a mental space to take his body. There the Sharingan turns the tables: it is Sasuke who absorbs him. Kabuto is left not knowing who controls whom, and Konoha announces that Orochimaru is dead. It is not entirely true: during the fight between the Uchiha brothers, a snake carrying his consciousness emerges from Sasuke's body, and the sword of Itachi's Susanoo seals it along with the curse mark.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-392","pos":392},{"h":"The return and the four Hokage","t":"During the Fourth Great War, Sasuke seeks answers and uses Anko's curse mark to revive Orochimaru, who re-forms and regains strength by absorbing chakra from Kabuto. Orochimaru agrees to take him to those who know the village's whole history: he retrieves a mask from the Uzumaki temple, frees the souls the Shinigami took and revives the four Hokage with the Impure World Reincarnation. The Hokage answer Sasuke's questions, and Orochimaru holds them until the boy decides what to do. Then he reaches the battlefield, heals Tsunade together with the Hokage and leaves a mark on Karin mid-fight. He is no longer after a body: he says he wants to see what Sasuke does, and that makes him, for the first time, an uncomfortable ally.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-663","pos":663},{"h":"Under watch","t":"In the Boruto era, Orochimaru lives in one of his hideouts, closely watched by Konoha and far from his old plans of conquest. He keeps doing research, but within a tacit agreement with the village. His bond with the new generation runs through Mitsuki, a boy created in his laboratories who comes to Konoha to join Team 7 with Boruto and Sarada. This site treats that relationship with care: it is a creation, not a conventional biological parenthood or the start of a clan. That the same man who wanted to take Sasuke's body ends up entrusting a son to the village shows how far his place in the world has shifted.","lvl":2}],"facts":[{"k":"Estado","v":"Alive","lvl":0},{"k":"Estado","v":"Sealed","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-392","pos":392},{"k":"Estado","v":"Alive","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-593","pos":593},{"k":"Cumpleaños","v":"October 27","lvl":0},{"k":"Edad","v":"50–51","lvl":0},{"k":"Edad","v":"54","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-245","pos":245},{"k":"Altura","v":"179.4 cm","lvl":0},{"k":"Rango","v":"Sannin · rogue ninja","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-70","pos":70},{"k":"Afiliación","v":"Otogakure","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-115","pos":115},{"k":"Seiyū","v":"Kujira","lvl":0},{"k":"Doblaje latino","v":"José Arenas","lvl":0}],"techniques":[{"name":"Snake Summoning","kind":"invocacion","lvl":0,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-47","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":47},{"name":"Curse seal","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"sello-maldito","ch":"naruto-49","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":49},{"name":"Five Elements Seal","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"fuinjutsu","ch":"naruto-49","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":49},{"name":"Edo Tensei","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"edo-tensei","ch":"naruto-118","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":118},{"name":"Kusanagi Sword","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"article":"kusanagi","ch":"naruto-137","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":137},{"name":"Body switch","kind":"tecnica","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-121","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":121},{"name":"Manda","kind":"invocacion","lvl":0,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-170","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":170},{"name":"Triple Rashōmon","kind":"invocacion","lvl":1,"article":"invocaciones","ch":"naruto-295","kindLabel":"Invocación","pos":295},{"name":"White snake form","kind":"tecnica","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-344","kindLabel":"Técnica","pos":344}],"quote":{"t":"Sasuke will come looking for me.
