Character Description: Orochimaru
Orochimaru was of the legendary Sanin, the three students of the Third Hokage himself who gained their name by standing their ground against Hanzo. However, desiring to know all of the world's justsu, Orochimaru had been conducting experiments on various people to find the means to be immortal, all the while hoping to become Fourth Hokage. However, when the Third Hokage named his successor Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru deliberately had the [3rd_hokage|Third Hokage]] find out about his work before leaving the village. At that time, while researching the genetic makeup of Jugo, Orochimaru developed the Cursed Seal from Juugo's enzymes, with his pupil Anko Mitarashi being one of the first successful experiments.
Upon joining the S-rank criminal organization known as the Akatsuki, Orochimaru perfected his immortality Jutsu, and intended to use Itachi as his first "new container", with knowledge of the Sharingan's full power. But Itachi countered the attempt, forcing Orochimaru to retreat. Eventually finding the Village Hidden in Sound, Orochimaru used his Immortal Jutsu, transforming himself into a mass of snakes that enter a human body and devour the host's soul to gain total control, using masks of his original face to conceal the truth of his "immortality".
While in the body of a young woman, Orochimaru learned of Sasuke's existence during the Chunin Exams. Orochimaru chose to place his mark on Sasuke before leaving to set up his false alliance with the Village Hidden in the Sand to destroy Konoha. However, on the day the Invasion was carried out, Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Kimimaro murders the Fourth Kazekage, and Orochimaru takes his place at the chuunin matches to get close to the [3rd_hokage|Third Hokage]] for an assasination attempt. However, after revealing that his true intent for the invasion was to capture Sasuke, the [3rd_hokage|Third Hokage]] sacrificed himself to leave Orochimaru unable to do any Jutsu.
After a vain attempt to have Tsunade heal him, Orochi sends his Sound Ninja Five (Jirobu, Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon, and Ukon) to retrieve Sasuke to begin the transfer. But this is not to be, as eventually Orochimaru can wait no longer and takes the body of a young man instead. But this gives Orochi time to condition Sasuke until he is able to transfer his being again. Unfortunately for Orochi, by that time Sasuke turns the tables and temporary seals Orochimaru inside his body. But during the fight with Itachi, Orochimaru breaks free, with Itachi sealing him away with a genjustsu before the serpent could take over Sasuke's body.
But is that truly the end of Orochimaru? In the aftermath of the Sasuke/Orochimaru fight, Kabuto, Orochimaru's most loyal henchman whom he used since he was just a child, injected some of cells from Orochimaru's remains in order to become even greater. But, Orochimaru's influence is taking control of him at a slow but sure rate.
Like Jiraiya, Orochimaru can also do Summoning No Jutsu, but instead of summoning Toads.

You guys seem like good people so I'll accept that, but you didn't seem like you were joking which was why I took offense to it. I don't like Oro actually, but I just found it rude that you guys seemed to be insulting people who did like him. So I guess we're all at fault here.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? lolwut. That sounds like an interesting movie. XD ... show more »

Still dont know about Luna, shes iffy.... shes not here, shes out with Kristen at the moment, seeing Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.

Because there's a bit of a difference when someone accuses you of being two different people versus someone being sick in the head. While they may amount to the same thing as far as accusing someone of being something may or may not be, you're being insulting about it. That's the only reason I wasn't happy with your post so decided to maybe say something that would make you feel the same way. Needless to say, it worked. So in future, please try not to insult someone for liking someone or something you don't think should be liked or for hating someone you think should be liked. People do this all the time and it disgusts me that they can be so closed minded so I'm hoping you won't end up the same way.
Though I do have to say I'm a bit like the both of you if what you say is true. I don't write much, but I think up ideas for fanfiction in my head while incorporating them into a story that already exists usually in a way that makes some amount of sense. I'd like to become an author but I need to get into the habit of writing more instead of just letting everything sit in my head the entire time.. ... show more »

**SPIRIT** Sorry, i suppose i take after my father in the way that i think my opinion is also everyone elses. I suppose i shouldnt have said certain things. You can have your opinion, we can have ours. We think we are the definition of psycho, so be it. I apologize for calling you... however the hell youre supposed to spell it. You may think we are one person, but im being totally honest, we are two totally different people. We are twin sisters, and basically share a brain. But Luna gets it the most, since she takes higher classes than me... *pouts*
**LUNA** I still don't give a [censored] what you think, so whatever. You guys can express your opinions about us, so why can't we express ours about you. WE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I'm the smart one, and a great author. She's my ,uh, how do I put this, slow yet loveable sidekick.
**SPIRIT** Ummm, lets see, shes more of a story teller, not writer. I write more, but Luna is the smart one. ive never really been one for school. She dont like going to school, but shes a hell of a lot better than me at stuff. But yeah, i apologize, sometimes i get a bit of a temper.
**LUNA** You have such bad grammar, but she's right. I'm not apoligizing though, like I said, you can have your opinons we can have ours. ... show more »

Saying your definition of psycho is you is not a definition. Sorry to say. And really, the only reason we're "pounding on you" as you say is because you're calling people who like Orochimaru a, and I quote, "sick, messed up person." I don't agree with that at all. So you're saying you can have an opinion, but anyone else who has an opinion on your opinion shouldn't voice it? A bit hypocritical, aren't we? And why the insults? Where in any of my comments have I ever called you an [censored] in Japanese or any other insulting words like you've just done? As well as the fact that you immediately get on the defensive. I'm merely stating my opinion on the situation. Should I not be allowed that right? Whether or not it's commenting on yours doesn't matter. It's still my opinion. ... show more »

**SPIRIT** We know we arent the only ones, but it is very uncommon. As for the spelling and the fact that it is frowned upon by its own society, we really couldnt care less. And our definition off psycho is basically us. We do have our own opinions and we would highly appreciate it if you left us alone about it. And we really dont care what any of yall think of us, so keep pounding on us, we dont care. And, if e wanted to be corrected on our japanese, we would have gone to a teacher. So back off. ... show more »

Well you “two” aren’t the only ones that wear cosplay outfits to school, so don’t think you are the only one, because you surely aren’t. You may have a different definition of psycho in your own little way, but in reality there is only one definition for it. Now about telling others to back off…is fairly amusing. Are you getting defensive? Intriguing. Also, to let you know that bakayarou is one word and is even frowned upon by its own society. ... show more »
