| + | By studying Jūgo's body, Orochimaru discovered that it has an [[Jūgo's Clan's Kekkei Genkai|innate ability]] to passively absorb [[natural energy]]. It also secretes special bodily fluids that [[Sage Transformation|react]] to contact with [[senjutsu chakra]], causing immediate physical alternations with further controlled shape-shifting quality to the user's body, along with greatly enhanced physical capabilities.

||
| − | Orochimaru usually gave his [[cursed seal]] to his most powerful and unique followers and guinea pigs to either make them his strongest warriors or to prepare them to become a potential host bodies in the future or simply as test subjects. To apply a cursed seal, Orochimaru usually bites his intended target. As he had sharp fangs and an [[Soft Physique Modification|extendible neck]], this was a relatively simple task. The seal then appeared on the body of the victim near the puncture wound, which would cause them to subsequently lose consciousness. The design of the seals could either vary from person-to-person or was dependent on the type of seal Orochimaru chose to brand the victim with. If the victim had survived the application of the seal, they would awaken with the first level of the seal activated and enraged due to the seal's influence. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Orochimaru originally developed the cursed seals through experimentation on [[Jūgo]], whose body naturally produces an enzyme that triggers [[Sage Transformation|bodily transformations]], on which the cursed seal is based.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 579, page 16</ref> Like in Jūgo and his [[Jūgo's Clan|clan members]], the unrefined enzyme, extracted from him produces rage and madness in those exposed to it,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 349, page 9</ref> while the cursed seal does not have such deficiency. Similarly, Jūgo is not limited to a single transformation, and can change the advantages of his form to fit the situation. It should also be noted that anyone who survives the application of the cursed seal is "compatible" with Jūgo. This was shown when he was able to transplant some of his flesh to Sasuke.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 413, page 15</ref> |
||
| + | To apply a cursed seal, Orochimaru bites the recipient's neck, causing the seal to appear near the puncture wound.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 49, pages 17-19</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 50, pages 1-5</ref> Recipients are rendered unconscious while their body either accepts or rejects the cursed seal. From extensive practice, Orochimaru established a 10% compatibility rate for the cursed seal; those whose bodies aren't compatible with the cursed seal will die.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 50, page 15</ref> If they do survive, the recipient will have access to the cursed seal's power boosts, access that grows through repeated use. If unused, cursed seals will grow dormant, though Orochimaru can forcefully activate them if he gains access to them. |
||
| ⚫ | Cursed seals seen in the anime tend to have fatal consequences even if the recipients survive the initial application. [[Mizuki]]'s seal, which was a failed prototype that required extra procedures to activate, nearly kills him due to its incompleteness and causes him to lose all his powers. The cursed seals administrated to [[Team Guren]] kill them if they do not take the required medication periodically, preventing them from escaping Orochimaru's clutches. On the other hand, the seals given to the [[Iburi clan]] partially stabilised their otherwise [[Iburi Clan's Kekkei Genkai|unstable ability]]. |
||
| − | The cursed seals that are partially made from Orochimaru's chakra, also contain parts of his consciousness, and thus allows him to be revived when combined with a piece of his DNA to utilise the [[Evil Releasing Method]] on a host like [[Anko Mitarashi]], Orochimaru can be resurrected completely even if his original body and self were destroyed.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 593, page 9</ref> |
||
| + | Once applied, removal of the cursed seal is apparently difficult. [[Kakashi Hatake]] and the [[Third Hokage]] have on separate occasions opted to suppress the cursed seals rather than remove them outright. The only times the cursed seal have been fully removed have been as a side-effect of removing Orochimaru's consciousness from the recipient's body, fragments of which are embedded in each of the cursed seals: [[Itachi Uchiha]] does so with the [[Sword of Totsuka]]; [[Sasuke Uchiha]] does so with the [[Evil Releasing Method]]. So long as part of his consciousness remains in a cursed seal somewhere, Orochimaru can never truly die.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 593, page 9</ref> |

Additionally, even if the users survive, their body will not be able to easily control the power of the seal given to them. To compensate for this, Orochimaru developed the [[Mind Awakening Pill]]. The drug forces a user's body to become accustomed to the unnatural increase in power, but also kills the one who takes it. The sealing technique [[Four Black Fogs Formation]] and [[Dark Sealing Method]] are used to keep the drug from killing the users by placing them in a temporary death state. Prolonged usage of the seals would also corrode both the body and mind of the users due to Orochimaru's chakra being present, making it easier for them to be susceptible to his influence. |

Orochimaru's Juinjutsu is a transformation-based cursed seal that Orochimaru can apply to others for various purposes.
Overview
By studying Jūgo's body, Orochimaru discovered that it has an innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It also secretes special bodily fluids that react to contact with senjutsu chakra, causing immediate physical alternations with further controlled shape-shifting quality to the user's body, along with greatly enhanced physical capabilities. By isolating an enzyme from Jūgo's special fluids and mixing it with his own senjutsu chakra, Orochimaru created a cursed seal he could brand others with.[3][4] Orochimaru typically gives his cursed seals to either his more powerful followers or those he would like to use as his host body.
Orochimaru applying a cursed seal.
To apply a cursed seal, Orochimaru bites the recipient's neck, causing the seal to appear near the puncture wound.[5][6] Recipients are rendered unconscious while their body either accepts or rejects the cursed seal. From extensive practice, Orochimaru established a 10% compatibility rate for the cursed seal; those whose bodies aren't compatible with the cursed seal will die.[7] If they do survive, the recipient will have access to the cursed seal's power boosts, access that grows through repeated use. If unused, cursed seals will grow dormant, though Orochimaru can forcefully activate them if he gains access to them.
Cursed seals seen in the anime tend to have fatal consequences even if the recipients survive the initial application. Mizuki's seal, which was a failed prototype that required extra procedures to activate, nearly kills him due to its incompleteness and causes him to lose all his powers. The cursed seals administrated to Team Guren kill them if they do not take the required medication periodically, preventing them from escaping Orochimaru's clutches. On the other hand, the seals given to the Iburi clan partially stabilised their otherwise unstable ability.
Once applied, removal of the cursed seal is apparently difficult. Kakashi Hatake and the Third Hokage have on separate occasions opted to suppress the cursed seals rather than remove them outright. The only times the cursed seal have been fully removed have been as a side-effect of removing Orochimaru's consciousness from the recipient's body, fragments of which are embedded in each of the cursed seals: Itachi Uchiha does so with the Sword of Totsuka; Sasuke Uchiha does so with the Evil Releasing Method. So long as part of his consciousness remains in a cursed seal somewhere, Orochimaru can never truly die.[8]
Mechanics
When they first receive the cursed seal, recipients cannot control their access to it, and as such they draw on its power unwillingly. Until they become accustomed to it, use of the cursed seal will cause them intense physical pain, though they may be able to briefly ignore this.[9] While active, the cursed seal feeds off their chakra and replaces it with Orochimaru's own senjutsu chakra,[4] increasing their chakra levels ten-times and making their jutsu stronger.[10] So long as they have at least some chakra of their own, this gives them a back up reserve that they can call on, though if not employed carefully this may have fatal consequences.[1] Prolonged use of the cursed seal corrodes the mind, making them more susceptible to Orochimaru's influence.[11] In exchange, the cursed seal synchronises with their body, exponentially enhancing the abilities of their normal state.[12]
Recipients initially only have access to the cursed seal's first level (状態1, Jōtai Ichi, literally meaning: State 1). When active, the seal's design spreads across their body from its point of application, glowing and replicating as its coverage grows.[13] The degree to which this occurs is up to the user, and the degree to which it spreads is proportionate to the overall effect it has.
In order to increase the advantages of using the cursed seal, as well as to eliminate some of the risks and discomfort that come from using its first level, Orochimaru developed Mind Awakening Pills to advance cursed seals to their next stage. Under normal circumstances, the pills kill those who take them, requiring that they be placed in a near-death state after taking the pill while their body acclimates for the heightened transformation.[14]
Variations of the cursed seal transformations.
The second level (状態2, Jōtai Ni, literally meaning: State 2) of the cursed seal causes the user's body to physically transform. Called a "Cursed Seal Transformation" (呪印化, Juinka, English TV: Curse Mark Transformation),[15] it is similar in appearance to Jūgo's transformations: they gain yellow irises and black sclerae, altered skin colour, and longer hair. When in this state, the seal eats away at the mind and personality of its user, driving them to madness if used for too long. It also takes quite a toll on their body since they are being mutated by the seal.[16] Skilled users of the cursed seal are able to isolate transformations to specific parts of the body.[17]
Seals
Orochimaru has various cursed seal designs, some being stronger than others. Second level transformations are always the same for a single user, but it's not known if the same cursed seal causes the same transformations in different users.
- Cursed Seal of Heaven: Worn by Sasuke Uchiha and Anko Mitarashi.
- Cursed Seal of Earth: Worn by Kimimaro.
- Sound Four's Cursed Seals: Worn by Jirōbō, Kidōmaru, Tayuya, Sakon and Ukon.

Trivia
- Compatibility with one of Orochimaru's cursed seals in turn means one is compatible with Jūgo, allowing him to transplant his own flesh and chakra into their bodies.[18]
- Orochimaru can apply other cursed seals by biting an opponent's neck. These other cursed seals temporarily bind the target upon application, spreading across their body to restrict their movements.[19]
- Orochimaru placed a strong cursed seal on Mitsuki's heart that would cause him to self-destruct should anyone attempted to decipher his synthetic body's structure.[20] Kū claims it is an older-type of cursed seal that they can work around,[21] though the scientist found it rather difficult.[22]
