Biography

Orochimaru was a prodigy of Konohagakure and one of the most talented shinobi of his generation. After losing his parents at a young age, he became fascinated with the mysteries of life and death, searching for a way to overcome human limitations.

He was trained by Hiruzen Sarutobi alongside Jiraiya and Tsunade. Together, they became known as the Legendary Sannin after surviving a battle against Hanzo of the Hidden Rain during the Second Shinobi World War.

Unlike Jiraiya, who valued bonds and emotions, Orochimaru focused on knowledge, power, and understanding every secret of the ninja world.

Before becoming a missing-nin, Orochimaru was a respected Konoha shinobi, a genius researcher, and a highly skilled jonin. He even became a mentor to younger shinobi, including Anko Mitarashi.

However, his obsession with forbidden techniques and immortality slowly changed him. He began conducting illegal human experiments, believing that the value of knowledge was greater than any moral rule. When Hiruzen discovered his experiments, Orochimaru abandoned Konoha and became a missing-nin.
