Sasuke's Decision

After Sasuke decides to stop Madara Uchiha's plot, Orochimaru and the remaining members of Taka rush to the battlefield to treat the Five Kage.

Orochimaru and the Third Naruto, master and disciple, displayed unparalleled teamwork when facing the God Tree's split form. Orochimaru first activated his ninjutsu— Hidden Shadow Snake Hands —where countless venomous snakes swiftly coiled around the God Tree's split form like Inazuma, rendering it immobile.

Immediately afterward, the Third Naruto wielded his famous Ruyi Jingu Bang without hesitation. In his hands, the cudgel seemed to possess boundless power. With a sudden swing, he smashed the Ruyi Jingu Bang against the split God Tree, instantly shattering it into several pieces.

Not far away, Tsunade witnessed this scene, her gaze falling on Jiraiya's grave. Recalling all the moments she had shared with Jiraiya, a feeling of shame welled up within her.

However, the battle was not over. After everyone's tireless efforts, Obito Uchiha, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, was finally defeated. But at that moment, a mysterious vortex-shaped White Zetsu suddenly appeared on the battlefield, blocking everyone's path.

This White Zetsu is named Tobi, and his strength is unfathomable. Facing the Allied Shinobi Forces led by the Third Naruto, Tobi showed no fear, and a thrilling and fierce battle ensued.

Meanwhile, Sasuke also encountered a huge crisis. He was knocked to the ground by the resurrected Madara Uchiha, and his life hung in the balance. Karin was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Sasuke immediately, but Orochimaru calmly advised her and the other two to remain calm and wait for the right opportunity to act.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Orochimaru and his companions seized a fleeting opportunity. Without hesitation, they used all their skills to successfully suppress the powerful Tobi.

Taking advantage of the moment when Tobi was suppressed, Orochimaru and his companions seized the opportunity and broke through Tobi's encirclement like arrows. They were anxious and rushed towards Sasuke's location, silently praying that they could arrive in time.

When Karin, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Jugo arrived, their hearts were heavy, for they didn't know if it would be too late to heal Sasuke. However, just when they were feeling hopeless, an unexpected discovery rekindled their hope—Kabuto was already there, intently tending to Sasuke.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew incredibly tense. Kabuto poured all his medical skills into his work, every movement executed with utmost care. After a long and anxious wait, Sasuke's body finally reacted. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat dazed, but he was clearly out of danger.

Just then, the Infinite Tsukuyomi suddenly activated, and a dazzling light enveloped the entire world. Orochimaru and the others had no time to react before they were all enveloped by this powerful genjutsu. Their bodies were tightly bound by the split parts of the God Tree, unable to break free.

Fortunately, the Infinite Tsukuyomi was eventually broken. As the light faded, Orochimaru and the others were finally freed. They felt relieved, but also fearful of the sudden turn of events.

Since Orochimaru had completely reformed and led the remaining members of Taka to achieve great feats in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was no longer listed as a rogue ninja. This was undoubtedly a new beginning for Orochimaru; he could let go of the burdens of the past and return to a normal life.

He was allowed to continue his experiments as long as they did not endanger the lives of others, but he was still subject to covert surveillance by agents sent by successive Naruto. More than a decade after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto succeeded Kakashi as the Seventh Naruto.

In the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations series, Orochimaru showcases astonishing technical prowess. He successfully and perfectly modified his body, not only making himself younger than before but also gaining regenerative abilities. This means that even if his body is injured, he doesn't need to use hand seals to perform Medical Ninjutsu like other ninjas; the damaged parts can automatically regenerate.

However, the appearance of a new enemy— Shin Uchiha —made Naruto and Sasuke realize that Orochimaru might be involved in some way. Therefore, they decided to find Orochimaru and investigate.

When Naruto and Sasuke found Orochimaru revealed some important information about Shin Uchiha. It turned out that Shin was no ordinary person; he was actually one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects. Shin's constitution was extremely special; he did not reject any tissue transplanted into his body.

Based on this unique physique, Orochimaru conducted a series of daring experiments on Shin. He transplanted many Sharingan that Danzō had collected during the Uchiha Clan Massacre into Shin's body. These Sharingan granted Shin immense power and special abilities.

Furthermore, Orochimaru gave Shin's right arm, which had already been transplanted with various Sharingan, to Danzō, making it Danzō's new right arm. This action undoubtedly greatly enhanced Danzō's strength, while also making Shin an extremely dangerous being.

Orochimaru not only successfully cloned a large number of Shin's clones using Shin's cells, but these clones also retained some of Shin's traits and abilities to a certain extent. However, Shin later resolutely left Orochimaru with a group of clones.

In the Naruto the Movie: Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, there's a scene where Boruto and Sarada curiously ask Mitsuki about his parents. Mitsuki unhesitatingly answers that his parents are Orochimaru. When Sarada presses further about whether Orochimaru is his father or mother, Mitsuki remains nonchalant, replying, "I don't really care whether he's my father or mother." At that moment, the scene shifts, and we see Orochimaru hiding nearby, silently observing everything.

Orochimaru's combat experience is quite extensive. He once fought Hanzo of the Hanzo but was unfortunately defeated (this was during the Second Shinobi World War, when he, Jiraiya, and Tsunade fought against Hanzo); he also had a fierce duel with the Hanzo Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, but this battle was ultimately interrupted for some reason (this is a TV anime original plot); in addition, Orochimaru also fought Kakashi Hatake and successfully defeated Kakashi (again, a TV anime original plot); however, when he faced Itachi, he suffered a crushing defeat; however, in the battle against the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow, Orochimaru Rasa great strength and ultimately achieved victory (this battle was accomplished by him, Kimimaro, Kabuto Yakushi working together).

This battle was a piece of cake for him; his strength far surpassed that of the three Grass Ninja. He moved with lightning speed, instantly dodging Grass Ninja attacks, and then launched a thunderous counterattack. Every move he made was like a Zhou Yu, leaving the Grass Ninja utterly defenseless. In just a few rounds, the three Grass Ninja were completely overwhelmed and had no choice but to surrender.

This time, he faced three formidable opponents: Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. However, he showed no fear, instead displaying a confident smile. From the very start, he unleashed astonishing power, his attacks like Gale, leaving Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura struggling to keep up. Despite their combined efforts, they couldn't withstand his relentless onslaught. Ultimately, he defeated these three powerful opponents with overwhelming strength.

Although Anko Mitarashi was a ninja of considerable skill, she was still somewhat inferior to him. His speed was as fast as Inazuma and his strength as great as thunder, making it impossible for Anko to contend with him. In the fierce battle, he skillfully avoided Anko's attacks and seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. In the end, Anko was defeated by his overwhelming strength.

The battle was exceptionally fierce, with both sides giving their all. The Third Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as one of Konoha's top ninjas, was naturally a force to be reckoned with. However, he also possessed extraordinary strength and combat skills. In the battle, he engaged in a breathtaking duel with the Third Naruto, their attacks flowing smoothly and neither giving an inch. Although he ultimately defeated the Third Hokage, he paid a heavy price—his hands were sealed by the Third Hokage using the Reaper Death Seal.

VS Tsunade Jiraiya: Because his hands were sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, he was unable to use ninjutsu, which put him at a complete disadvantage in the battle against Tsunade and Jiraiya, ultimately resulting in a crushing defeat.

VS Madara Uchiha (Six Paths): This was undoubtedly an epic battle, with both sides displaying unparalleled strength and skill. He went all out, unleashing various powerful ninjutsu and taijutsu, engaging in a fierce clash with Six Paths Madara. However, Madara's strength was simply too overwhelming, and he gradually felt overwhelmed. But he did not give up, instead constantly searching for Madara's weaknesses, attempting to deliver a fatal blow.

In his fierce battle with Madara Uchiha (Six Paths), he fought with all his might, unleashing the full potential of all his skills and power. However, Madara Uchiha (Six Paths) was simply too powerful; each of his attacks was like a thunderbolt, making it difficult to withstand. Despite his constant dodging, defense, and counterattacks, he was unable to break through Madara Uchiha (Six Paths)'s defenses.

Ultimately, he was trapped by Madara Uchiha's (Six Paths) Infinite Tsukuyomi, falling into an endless genjutsu. In this genjutsu world, he saw what he feared most and felt the deepest despair.

When faced with Victor's female assistant, he showed no hesitation or pity. He knew all too well how cunning and treacherous this woman was, and how much harm she had caused Mugino. So, without hesitation, he unleashed his most powerful skill, instantly killing the female assistant.

This move not only killed the female assistant on the spot, but more importantly, it successfully saved the seriously injured Mugino. Mugino looked at him gratefully, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

VS Victor:

In his battle with Victor, he displayed formidable strength and superb combat skills from the outset. Each of his attacks was precise and powerful, leaving Victor somewhat overwhelmed. As time went on, he gradually gained the upper hand, and Victor's defenses began to show weaknesses.

However, just as he was about to achieve victory, Victor suddenly abandoned the fight. He turned and rushed towards the Artificial God Tree, clearly wanting to obtain the fruit from it. This move caught him off guard; he had thought victory was already in his grasp, but he never expected Victor to change his strategy at the crucial moment.

Helpless, he could only watch as Victor approached the Artificial God Tree, unable to stop him. Ultimately, the battle was forced to a halt due to Victor's sudden action.

The Kusanagi Sword: Sky Sword is Orochimaru's signature technique. This sword is not an ordinary Kusanagi Sword, but a mysterious weapon summoned from within Orochimaru's body. Even when the sword is not at Orochimaru's side, he can still control Orochimaru as if it were his own arm.

The sharpness of this sword is astonishing. Even Enma with an indestructible body would feel excruciating pain if touched by the Kusanagi Sword. When the Kusanagi Sword flies through the air, its blade appears to be stained with blood, as it is covered in the blood of all the prey it has cut down, emanating a chilling aura.

In the world of ninjas, various powerful ninja tools abound, among which the Kusanagi Sword is renowned for its unparalleled sharpness and mysterious power. However, in addition to these traditional ninja tools, genetic modification technology in the field of science and invention is also gradually emerging in this fantastical world.

Genetic modification technology, as the name suggests, is a high-tech method capable of altering the genetic structure of organisms. Through precise editing and adjustment of genes, this technology can endow organisms with entirely new abilities and characteristics, bringing unprecedented combat advantages to ninjas. Unlike traditional forced cell implantation, genetic modification technology is more sophisticated and precise. It can directly modify ordinary people at the genetic level, granting them additional abilities. This method is akin to truly integrating the abilities of others into one's own bloodline, thereby achieving a permanent enhancement of abilities.

A prime example is Yamato. As a child, he unfortunately became Orochimaru's experimental subject, undergoing the implantation and cultivation of Hashirama Cells. Hashirama Cells, the special cells possessed by the legendary ninja Hashirama Senju, contain immense energy and potential. However, because Yamato young, his physical endurance was insufficient to withstand the powerful force of the Hashirama Cells, leading to the unfortunate deaths of the other fifty-nine experimental subjects at the same time.

However, Yamato demonstrated remarkable resilience and a strong will to survive, enduring the arduous process through sheer willpower. Ultimately, he successfully withstood the power of the Hashirama Cells transplanted into his body, thus inheriting the First Naruto's Kekkei Genkai.

Cloning technology is an extremely advanced biotechnology that can create offspring with identical genes to the original individual through asexual reproduction. Before Shin Uchiha reached adulthood, he developed a strong interest in cloning technology and was determined to learn about this field.

To achieve his goals, Shin didn't hesitate to become one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects. Orochimaru was a notorious scientist known for conducting various dangerous and unethical experiments. However, Shin's thirst for cloning technology led him to throw himself headlong into Orochimaru's research projects.

The main reason Orochimaru was because of his very special physical condition. No matter what tissue was transplanted into his body, he would not experience any rejection reaction. This unique trait made Shin a valuable resource in Orochimaru's eyes, because it meant that he could use Shin's cells to clone countless individuals who were exactly the same as Shin.

After a period of experimentation, Orochimaru finally succeeded in cloning many clones of Shin using Shin's cells. These clones not only resembled Shin in appearance, but even their abilities and personalities were almost identical. However, Shin did not stay with Orochimaru for long.

As time went on, Shin gradually realized that Orochimaru's experiments were not entirely for scientific purposes, but contained many unethical and dangerous elements. In the end, Shin decided to resolutely betray Orochimaru, taking several of his own clone "sons" with him.

For Shin, these clones were not merely "tools for acquiring new flesh and blood," but also "warehouses of spare organs." In his view, these clones were a continuation of his life and a force for him to fight against the world. Although Shin's actions caused much controversy, he firmly believed that everything he did was for a greater purpose.

It is important to note that these clones are not ordinary clones, but special beings with pure Uchiha Clan blood. From birth, their eyes exhibit the Three-Tomoe Sharingan form, Kekkei Genkai unique to the Uchiha Clan. Even more astonishingly, these clones also possess the ability to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, undoubtedly one of the most powerful dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan.

In his research on these clones, Orochimaru not only endowed them with powerful bloodline abilities, but also conducted even bolder experiments on Shin. He transplanted all the Sharingan that Shimura Danzo had collected during the Uchiha Clan Massacre onto Shin. This made Shin's right arm a vessel filled with mysterious power, containing the powerful spiritual energy brought by the numerous Sharingan.

However, Orochimaru was not satisfied with this. He further experimented with and modified Shin's right arm, implanting Hashirama Cells into it. Hashirama Cells are cells with powerful vitality and physical energy, and their implantation greatly enhanced the physical strength of Shin's right arm. In this way, Orochimaru successfully achieved a balance between physical and spiritual energy in Shin's right arm, creating an unprecedentedly powerful force.

Finally, Orochimaru gave this meticulously modified right arm to Danzō, making it Danzō's new right arm. This right arm not only possessed immense strength but also a miraculous technique—cell transplantation technology. This technique could transfer a person's spirit into another's body, thus realizing the dream of immortality. After years of human experimentation and research, Orochimaru finally succeeded in developing this technique, adding a powerful boost to his ambitions and plans.

Generally speaking, techniques closely related to immortality are often considered forbidden. This is mainly because these techniques usually involve enormous risks and ethical issues. However, Orochimaru, this ambitious man, disregarded all of this in order to achieve his own selfish desires, resolutely choosing to sacrifice many innocent people to perform this technique.

Once Orochimaru's technique succeeds, his spirit will be able to take over the new body. However, for the next three years, he will be unable to reincarnate into any other body. This is undoubtedly a severe limitation, but for someone like Orochimaru, it doesn't seem to be an insurmountable obstacle.

In addition to the aforementioned Reincarnation Technique, Orochimaru is also proficient in a ninjutsu called Earth Substitute: Crack. The unique feature of this ninjutsu is that it can create a substitute using soil. When this substitute is attacked, it explodes instantly, effectively protecting the original body from harm.

Among the many ninjutsu mastered by Orochimaru, there is a genjutsu called the Hell Viewing Technique. During the harrowing encounter between Team 7 and Orochimaru in the Forest of Death, Sakura and the others glimpsed their horrific deaths through Orochimaru's murderous eyes. The power of this genjutsu lies in its ability to instill extreme fear and despair, severely impacting a person's combat abilities.

Besides this, there is another ninjutsu that strikes fear into the hearts of all, called "Facial Erasure Technique." This ninjutsu is of a high level, rated as B-rank. However, its cruelty far exceeds ordinary people's imagination, making it a nightmare in the ninjutsu world.

The uniqueness of this ninjutsu is beyond imagination; it can actually take over the appearance of another person! This is not a simple disguise technique, but a ninjutsu that requires the use of a real human face. The practitioner will cover their own face with this face, so that the face of the person being imitated is indistinguishable from the practitioner's, as if they were carved from the same mold.

In this way, the ninjutsu is almost flawless, making it impossible to distinguish between genuine and fake. Even the most astute observer would find it difficult to detect any discrepancies. This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and insidious ninjutsu, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

Orochimaru was a skilled user of this ninjutsu. His mastery of the "Facial Erasure Technique" was unparalleled. He once cleverly used this technique to disguise himself as Grass Ninja and successfully infiltrate the Chunin Exams. In that dangerous and challenging environment, Orochimaru thrived, and no one could see through his disguise.

However, those unfortunate victims who became his targets fared much worse. When they were discovered, their original appearances had long been lost, replaced by grotesque and terrifying faces. The bodies of these victims seemed to be cursed by some demon, sending chills down one's spine.

Besides the "Facial Erasure Technique," Orochimaru possesses an even more powerful and terrifying S-rank forbidden technique—the "Eight Branches Technique." The power of this forbidden technique is immeasurable; once unleashed, Orochimaru can transform into a gigantic white serpent with eight heads and eight tails. This white serpent is extremely large and possesses astonishing strength, causing panic wherever it goes. Its appearance is like a nightmare, bringing endless fear and despair to people.
