- Notes: Orochimaru, also known as the Great Snake Sannin, is a legendary ninja from Konohagakure. He has an insatiable desire to uncover all of the world's secrets and seeks immortality in order to live long enough to achieve his goal. However, when he was caught conducting unethical experiments on his fellow villagers, he left Konoha to avoid persecution. For many years, he sought revenge on the village and aimed to demonstrate what he had learned. Despite seemingly dying several times in pursuit of his goals, he eventually realized the flaws in his approach thanks to his former associate, Kabuto Yakushi. As a result, he began monitoring the actions of his former apprentice, Sasuke Uchiha.
