Orochimaru (Naruto) facts for kids
Orochimaru is a super important character from the Japanese comic series called Naruto. He is known as one of the main bad guys, or villains, in the story. Orochimaru is a very strong and dangerous ninja.
He used to be a ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village, also known as Konoha. But about 10 years before the Naruto story begins, Orochimaru left the village. He was doing secret research to find a way to live forever. When the village leaders and the Third Hokage (their leader) found out, he ran away. After leaving Konoha, Orochimaru created his own secret village called Otogakure. He promised to destroy his old home, Konoha.
When Orochimaru was a ninja in Konoha, he was the smartest student of the Third Hokage. Many people thought he was one of the strongest ninjas in the whole village. The Third Hokage even wanted Orochimaru to become the next leader, the Fourth Hokage. But that job later went to Minato Namikaze, who is Naruto's father.
Orochimaru's Plans and Battles
In the first part of the Naruto series, Orochimaru tried to attack Konoha. He brought an army of ninjas to invade the village. During this attack, he fought and defeated his old teacher, the Third Hokage. Even though he caused a lot of trouble, he couldn't completely destroy Konoha.
Later, Orochimaru took Sasuke Uchiha as his student. He trained Sasuke for about two and a half years. However, Sasuke eventually turned against Orochimaru. When Orochimaru was very weak, Sasuke attacked him. Sasuke couldn't completely defeat him, but he managed to absorb Orochimaru's power into his own body.
Later Appearances and Family
During a big fight between Sasuke and his brother Itachi, Orochimaru was able to escape from Sasuke's body. But Itachi quickly defeated him and trapped him in a powerful illusion. Later on, Sasuke brought Orochimaru back to life. This was so Orochimaru could help revive the first four Hokage leaders.
Orochimaru then joined the Fourth Shinobi World War. He fought alongside the good guys against powerful enemies like Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. Orochimaru also has a son named Mitsuki. Mitsuki is the same age as Boruto Uzumaki, who is the son of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.
