Introduction
Orochimaru of the Densetsu Sannin, the snake sannin, is one of the most powerful shinobi of konohagakure no sato. Blessed with great talent on the ninja arts he have proven himself time and time again on the battlefield defeating countless enemies during the second shinobi war, fighting on a 3 on 1 fight together with his teammates, Tsunade Senju and Jyraia , against Hanzo of the Salamander and surviving, gaining the title of legendary ninja. When the third war came he was once again essential for konoha victory.
But, it was during those countless battles that Orochimaru realized just how fragile life was, he saw many shinobi and kunoichi, both weak and strong, lose their life's in various different ways, some were fatally wounded in battle, others poisoned and in some cases they just were on the wrong place at the wrong time. The sannin became aware that there was so many ways that one can be deprived of the marvelous gift that is life, one little mistake and all the dreams, hopes and ambitions of a person are just gone, the memory of Nawaki Senju, a young and talented shinobi, came to mind when Orochimaru tought about those things. Thinking of how human life was easily taken away made Orochimaru realize that he was no exception, one day he would die too, it can be on the battlefield or simply of old age, but it will certainty happen, with those toughts in mind Orochimaru began to fear death and desperately wanted to find a way to obtain what no one else have, true immortality. So the snake master started to wonder what exactly was the cause for people death , and came with the three things that are responsible for the death of a mortal being:
sickness, injurie and passage of time.
It was those three things that Orochimaru needed to bypass in order to obtain the true imortality. When the sannin realized that, he noticed that all those things would be avoided if one were to adquire a perfect body one that could not get sick, that could heal any injure and that were able to defeat time itself, his current body was too fragile, too weak, he needed a new one, a perfect one. Since no one actually had a perfect body the sannin would create it and then he would defeat his ultimate enemy, death.
But first Orochimaru needed to take care of a problem, he needed a way to abandon his current body, transferring his conscience and even more important his soul to another one. After much research on various kinjutsus [forbidden techniques] the snake sannin created a techique that allowed him to take control of the body of another person, transforming his body in that of a giant white snake he consumed the body of the victim, after that he transported both himself and the victim to a mental plane , enslaving the soul and mind of the victim, becoming the owner of the body. The first person that he used this technique was some uninportant chunin of the village, and the snake sannin was pleased to see that the technique was a success, but he would have to change bodies in three years maximum or the current one would break apart and Orochimaru would die, now he just needed to create the perfect body.
To completely understand the human body and find a way to improve it to the point of perfection, the sannin dedicated himself to all kinds of sciences , constructing laboratories in Konoha and other lands, kidnapping people from said places, both ninjas and civilians, to experiment on, constantly studying their bodies, trying to understand their differences, strenghts and weaknesses, creating ways to make them stronger, learning through trial and error, for the snake sannin the number of people he used it didn't mather nor if they were just newborn baby's or old man and woman, as long as he reached his goal the rest was just that, rest.
But unfortunately for Orochimaru his actions haven't gone unnoticed, the people of konoha began to notice his odd behavior and became suspicious of him, the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, at first tought that the reason for Orochimaru change of attitude was because the sannin was angry and frustrated for not being appointed for the position of yondaime Hokage, but after sometime he decided to investigate the mather himself, and the things he discovered marked him forever. So with a heavy heart the Sandaime confronted his favorite student. But Hiruzen couldn't bring himself to kill the one he considered as his own son, and so one of the sannin left Konoha.
Being forced to leave Konoha was not a big blow for Orochimaru since he had already done everything he could there and none of his experiments there were important, sure his little apprentice Anko could have been useful to further studies on the cursed seal but he could apply to other people easily enough it was just a mather of time before another one survived the process , so now he was heading to one of his bases in rice country when all of a sudden a strange man that looked like a plant with halve of his body being
White and the other halve being black , with golden eyes and short green hair, wearing a black cloak with red clouds, appeared before him.
" Good day Orochimaru of the Densetsu no Sannin, my name is Zetsu how are you in this lovely day?"
Orochimaru was intrigued by the way the man looked like and the way he spoke, like it was two different beings, or maybe two personalities?
"Kukuku why don't you just tell me why you are here and we save us both time".
Spoke the sannin preparing for a fight.
Zetsu didn't seem bothered by Orochimaru signs of hostility.
" Right to the point I see, very well, I am here to invite you to join an organization called Akatsuki".
After that, Zetsu explained that Akatsuki was an organization composed of S-rank criminals, he did not told Orochimaru about their goals, in case Orochimaru decided not to join, however he said that the sannin would be able to continue his work and that the organization would provide secret and highly protected places for him to work, in exchange the sannin would just have to go on the missions that the Leader ordered him to go, similar to konoha but no one would bother Orochimaru. The snake sannin was not very interested on the offer, but Zetsu intrigued him, so in order to understand just what exactly the strange man was , he decided to accept the invitation.
When Orochimaru arrived at the Akatsuki base he was immediately lead to a room where he would meet the other he saw all the members of the organization he knew that he had made the right decision in joining, and Zetsu did not looked that interesting anymore.
AN: well that's the introduction , to those who noticed. Orochimaru do not want to learn every jutsu and his imortaliti technique have a big flaw, that is why he will create a perfect host.
Please tell me what you think and where I can improve, updates will be fast I guarantee.
