Orochimaru (in Japanese: 大蛇丸, Orochimaru) is a major character in the Naruto franchise and the Boruto anime/manga series.
He started off as a villain, but later on became a anti-hero in Naruto: Shippuden and in Boruto. He is one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha that trained under Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, alongside Jiraiya and Tsunade, who was obsessed with gaining power and betrayed the Hidden Leaf Village in pursuit of banned jutsu and immortality.
Ever since the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru became fascinated with the idea of learning all jutsu around the world. In order to accomplish this goal, he began to conduct illegal experiments that involved experimenting with the corpses of deceased people, as a means of cheating death. When his secrets were discovered, Orochimaru abandoned Konoha and was branded as both a criminal and a traitor. As a rogue offering Sasuke Uchiha the power to get revenge on his brother, he manipulates Sasuke into helping him meet his goal of learning every jutsu with his Sharingan, all while returning to Konoha to plot revenge against the village.
After being defeated by Sasuke and long after his failed invasion of the Hidden Leaf Village, his influence still affected the events leading to the Fourth Shinobi World War through Sasuke and his servant, Kabuto, who now works with Tobi. He is later revived by Sasuke, and he decides to help Sasuke defeat Madara Uchiha just to see what will happen. By the end of Part II, he sees how flawed his goals of copying everything was with the war and a now redeemed Kabuto, who had tried to copy him completely, and gives up his previous villainous ambitions, becoming an anti-hero throughout the New Era.
He is voiced by Kujira in the Japanese version, and by Steve Blum in the English Version. In Naruto Spin-Off: Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals, he is voiced by Vic Mignogna in the English Version.
