When Orochimaru first saw the snakeskin as a child, Miyo told him that the snake symbolized eternal life and luck, and these two words also summed up Orochimaru's life.

It is estimated that few villains can be like Orochimaru, full of evil, doing all the bad things in order to achieve their ambitions, and in the end not only got away with punishment, but even achieved the wish of eternal life.

As a villain, the big boss in the early stage, many people used to have quite expectations for Orochimaru, but when he was killed by the Itachi brothers in seconds, readers suddenly had the illusion that Orochimaru had become a combat unit. A friend of mine once said to me that Orochimaru's whitewashing was too sudden, and how did he suddenly become the protagonist's side. I said that Orochimaru didn't wash his name, he just adjusted his mentality after seeing his limits.

Orochimaru is undoubtedly a bad person, he does human experiments, abducts and sells children, kills his master, and plans wars, none of which are clean. But he is not simply a bad person, because everything he does is to achieve his ambitions, and other than that, Orochimaru has never pursued the pleasure of killing itself. This is also a habit of Kishimoto, and the entire Hokage almost does not portray pure villains, unlike Akira Toriyama, who specializes in portraying villains like Old Vic and Frieza, who "Lao Tzu just likes to kill".

For Orochimaru, all the bad things he did were a means, not an end. The difference between him and the positive character is that he has no concept of good and evil, morality, or ethics, and what seems to ordinary people to be heinous is no different from eating and drinking. His master, the third generation Hokage, had already noticed this, saying that as early as the moment of Orochimaru's parents died, the fear of death left a deep imprint on Orochimaru's heart, and his psychology became distorted because of it.

In addition to his twisted mind, another factor that contributed to Orochimaru's distortion was his great talent and matching ambition. Orochimaru is a rare genius in the entire ninja world. People like this who can stand on a high place and look down on all beings will either pursue supreme power or a stronger self, and Orochimaru chose the latter. During the Great War of the Three Ninjas, when asked about the understanding of the word ninja, Jiraiya replied that he was a person who could not be endured by ninjas, while Orochimaru roughly replied that he was a person who learned all ninjutsu.

That's right, this is Orochimaru's lifelong ideal. He is a perfectionist person, so he cannot tolerate the presence of death. This mentality is not difficult to understand, almost everyone is more or less a little bit of the pursuit of perfection, hoping that they can learn everything and order everything, just look at how many people in Zhihu will understand the cross-border answers. However, Orochimaru's pursuit is too high, he wants to achieve the ultimate in everything, but for this goal, human life is too short.

Zhuangzi once said that my life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge. With an end, there is no end, and it is gone! Some people say that Zhuangzi is exhorting people not to ask for knowledge, but I think that Zhuangzi is not a superficial person, he is just facing the vast knowledge and feeling a little frustrated by the brevity of life. People can only reach the ultimate in a certain aspect of academic research, and once they cross the border, although they may be strong in many aspects, they are bound to be unable to reach the ultimate in many aspects. For Orochimaru, who has perfectionist tendencies, it is really intolerable to only do such a small thing in his life, which increases his thirst for eternal life.

However, in the process of pursuing perfection, Orochimaru discovers a cruel truth: he is imperfect. That's right, Orochimaru is a rare genius in the ninja world, but as Sasuke said, Orochimaru is only a genius among mortals, and the Uchiha family is a genius among geniuses.

Itachi's presence made Orochimaru feel the distance, and if he wanted to achieve his goal of becoming a perfect individual, his talents and body were too limited, so he began to attack the Uchiha brothers.

After paying a considerable price, Orochimaru obtained Sasuke's body, which could not be fulfilled immediately, and temporarily cultivated this perfect container for his future before the ritual took place. Teaching Sasuke brings great pleasure to Orochimaru, and anyone who has experience as a teacher can understand how painful it is to educate students with low talent, and if you teach each other something that is easy to learn over and over again, he still can't understand it, it makes people want to cry without tears. On the contrary, students with high educational talent are very happy, not only the educational process is relaxed, but also can produce the same level of collision in thinking, and at the same time improve themselves. Therefore, the three generations of ninjutsu professors fell in love with this student after teaching Orochimaru, and even if they went astray, they couldn't bear to be a killer, and similarly, after Orochimaru met Sasuke, who was much more talented than himself, he probably felt the joy of education for the first time since he was born, and he unconsciously taught him.

Of course, to Orochimaru's surprise, Sasuke was too talented and surpassed himself at an unimaginable speed, which was the first blow Orochimaru received. And after Orochimaru's resurrection, he saw that Yakushidou used the information he had collected over the years to shake the ninja world and launched the ninja war on the cusp of the storm, and learned the immortal arts and various secret techniques of his subordinates, but he was defeated by Itachi's men with perfect strength, which was the second blow that Orochimaru received. And Itachi, with his sick and weak body and short life, has seen through life and death, transcended the strife of the world, and reached a height that he can never reach, which is the third blow that Orochimaru has received. With the blessing of the triple blow, Orochimaru's outlook on life has been impacted.

After the wish is fulfilled, people often feel empty and confused, and they will feel "is this the end?" Orochimaru's years of hard work have been achieved by relying on his pocket, and seeing that his painstaking goal has only achieved such a result, Orochimaru finally saw his limit.

Orochimaru is a man of pursuit, and he also has a desire to change the ninja world, and the attack on Konoha is for this purpose. In his eyes, the rotten and huge Konoha is an existence that hinders the progress of the ninja world. He wants to be a gust of wind that blows down this decaying edifice and brings about a change in the ninja world. After seeing his limits, Orochimaru realized that he couldn't become such a wind, so he chose Sasuke, who had a higher talent and inherited the abilities of himself and Itachi, to become this gust of wind. Therefore, Orochimaru during the Great Ninja War was not interested in everything about this war, he just wanted to improve Sasuke's ability and see how far Sasuke's gust of wind could blow.

This is almost the mentality that most people have, when they are young, their hearts are higher than the sky, and they want to achieve everything on their own. After seeing his own limits and finding that he didn't have this ability, he chose to pin his hopes on the next generation. It should be said that Orochimaru is an excellent parent, he did not impose his wishes on the heir (of course, he does not have that ability), he just devotes himself to helping the next generation go further.

Orochimaru's transformation is very reasonable, not abrupt or whitewashing, he has always been the same Orochimaru who pursues perfectionism.

Throughout the story, some people believe in blood, some believe in spirit, some believe in the body, some believe in eyes, some believe in innate inheritance, and some believe in acquired efforts. Only Orochimaru, he believes in science.

Orochimaru wasn't really bad in the first place. He's just an ambitious man who sees through everything.

From beginning to end, except for the big barrel wood or the absolute, there are no real "bad guys". For example, Payne, Obito, Madara, Akatsuki Organization, the Five Great Ninja Villages, etc., are all sticking to their own beliefs, and it is all kinds of beliefs that enrich the world of the Hokage, just like a main line strung together the growth process of several protagonists. While many of these beliefs are born after their own extreme circumstances, and even some are incredible, there is no real evil: for example, Scorpion ends up making himself a doll, Deidara dies for art, Madara believes that he can also bring world peace, and Itachi can sacrifice everything to watch Sasuke grow up. It is precisely because of the wonderful character entanglements that in addition to a very small number of cannon fodder characters such as Big Barrel Wood and Jue, basically all ninjas have their own ninja fans, and I think there are really a lot of fans of Uncle Snake. One of the things I'm more entangled with is Orochimaru's Eight Misfortune Technique, the Great Snake Pill that stayed in Sasuke's body was permanently sealed in the realm of intoxication by Itachi's ten-fist sword, and the white snake that escaped was also burned to death by Amaterasu, and then Orochimaru was "resurrected" by Sasuke from the body of the red bean with the evil solution seal, and the hands sealed by the god of death also have it, and I don't fully understand how to do it immortal

1. Orochimaru knows when to appear and helps, which can maximize the loyalty of the other party.

Whether it is the early Sake, the Otoshinobi Four, Jun Maro, or the later Shigego Xiang Phosphorus Suizuki, the later Yakushi Dou, or even the male No. 2 Sasuke, they were all forced by the cruel reality to the point that life was worse than death before they met Orochimaru.

In Sark's recollections, he had no fixed home, starved and fed, and had to survive by stealing, and he was inevitably beaten every time.

Orochimaru happened to find him at this time.

Although the experience of the four of them was not described in detail, it can be seen from their words that before they met Orochimaru, they basically did not have a good life.

And Xiang Phosphorus and Yao Shidou are even more miserable, one has been "sucked blood" countless times, his mother was sucked to death in front of his eyes, and the other was fooled by the high-level to kill his own life-saving benefactor.

Why would Sasuke prefer to abandon his companions and leave the village alone? Because Orochimaru has already made the four of them make the words clear:

That's right, you can live a so-called happy life in the village by licking your wounds and playing boring ninja games with your friends, and then what?

When Naruto Sakura comes out, you will become the "Uchiha Nakanaga" in the village's mouth, and you will live with humiliation for the rest of your life.

Is this what Sasuke wants? Would Itachi be happy even if he died of illness soon after?

You can naturally accuse Orochimaru of taking advantage of people's danger and being vicious, but there is another problem,

What would happen to them if they weren't co-opted without Orochimaru?

Obviously, with the cruelty of the ninja world, their end will only be more tragic.

Just like the reporter who reported letting the children box, after the report was reported, the order was issued, the reporter was happy, and he felt that he had done a great deed, but the result was that the fate of this group of children was also buried.

2. Orochimaru never paints flatbread and stews chicken soup, and makes it with a clear price.

When the four of them approached Sasuke, it was also clear that they had been saved by Orochimaru and had been gifted with a curse seal, and at the cost of losing their freedom.

Sasuke later said even more bluntly that in order to take revenge on Itachi, he had already made the consciousness of selling his life to Orochimaru.

Chicken soup can be poisoned, painted cakes can be wiped off, promises can not be kept, but it is difficult to make a clear transaction.

3. Orochimaru ignores the so-called traditions and rules, and is a person who puts practicality first.

In Orochimaru's eyes, the so-called "ninja rules", "will of fire" and "mutual understanding" can all be boiled down to one sentence - net TM.

In his view, these are things that are used to bind people, and only eternal life and omniscience are king.

Therefore, he ignored traditional morality and wantonly engaged in human experiments.

Therefore, he defied the rules of the ninja and immediately set up his own door after defecting from the village.

Therefore, he ignored the feelings of his master and apprentice and provoked Sha Yin to attack Konoha together.

The person who puts practicality first is quite terrible, and in his opinion, anything can be used, and no morality exists.

But this kind of person is the most "left and right", because he does not need any ethics and morals to imprison, does not need to carry any psychological burden, and will not be like Qimu Shuomao, let alone like Itachi.

This kind of person can't simply distinguish between good and bad.

He just has superhuman beliefs, inhuman persistence. If you decide to do something, you must do it, and what you do is in his own noble pursuit, and as for good and bad, it is for others, and it has nothing to do with him. If you praise him as a good person, he will not stop doing so-called bad things, and you denounce him as vicious, and it is not comprehensive.

He doesn't care anyway, does he?

Just like Grenouille in "Perfume", not for "good or bad", just for what he insists on loving.

If there was another way to preserve the woman's fragrance, he would also use it to make the legendary "Thirteenth Middle Incense", and everyone would be happy, and it would become a so-called good thing.

Orochimaru did it for Konoha before he ran away

16 D-Class missions

332 C-level missions

521 B-level missions

491 A-level missions

108 S-Class missions

The four generations of Hokage did not do as much S-class tasks as one-third of him, A-level only two-thirds of him, and B-level and C-level less than half

It's incomprehensible that he wasn't chosen as the Hokage back then, okay, and he fought on the side of the Land of Rain, Rain Ninja, Sand Ninja, he has fought both, he is a third-generation Hokage descendant, and he has a bunch of his own subordinates, and he is strong and strong, and he is a lot of diehards, even if he has been running away for many years, there are still spies in Konoha and even Mizuki wants to defect to him when he runs away

Basically, Konoha is either a witness to the rise of the legend of him and Jiraiya Tsunade at the same time, or a new generation who grew up listening to his stories, and it's impossible not to know him

I read all the literature on the subject. - Orochimaru
