Orochimarou (大蛇魔郎) was the leader of a group of bandits originating from the Land of Rice Fields, the same land where the Sound Village is located.

Background

It is revealed that there was a war taking place between the Land of the Rice Fields and some other nations, mainly due to the actions of Orochimaru. As a result, the area that the raided village was in was a de-militarized zone, ruled by no-one. The village had a gold mine in the nearby mountains, which the bandits sought, and raided the village to get to the mine.

Part I

Menma arc

Eventually, Orochimarou attacked the village. Having difficulty with getting past the wall and defeating the Konoha ninja, he resorted to using music to paralyse the Konoha ninja, but Menma countered the technique with his own music ninjutsu. This allowed Naruto to break Orochimarou's flute, plus Tenten and Neji to defeat the raiders.

Orochimarou, realizing the battle to be lost, retreated to the dam at the river. He planned to flood the village to drown the villagers. The gold mine would be left unharmed. Orochimarou's plan to flood the village was stopped when Menma collapsed the mine.

In the end, Orochimarou was trying to escape but Naruto manages to catch up with him and defeat him with Rasengan. Orochimarou was later seen tied up with the rest of the bandits.

Trivia

  • Orochimarou's use of the flute is similar to Tayuya's. Even the music to bind the enemy is similar to the one that Tayuya plays.
  • Orochimarou's name is written with the kanji for Orochi (大蛇, orochi), demon (, ma) and son (, rou).
  • Orochimarou aspires to be like Orochimaru.
