Orochimaru
“He wants to learn every jutsu and know every secret — the legendary snake ninja who betrayed the Leaf.”
A forbidden technique that transfers his soul into another's body. The closest he gets to actual immortality.
Summoning serpents from his throat or extending his neck like a snake — a unique jutsu framework that proves his elite status.
Curse marks branded on targets' necks — massively amplifies jutsu but devours the mind and body. Used as long-range control.
A genius who covers his fear with intellect. He lost his parents as a child and started looking for a way to beat death — becoming a coldly observant operator who sees everything as a means to an end. As a villain, he's consistent and honest about his desires, which makes him rare in the series. Knowledge over rules, always.
