This is a technique that allows Orochimaru to levitate the Sword of Kusanagi and attack foes at mid-range. The blade will move according to Orochimaru's finger movements. In the anime, the blade emits a bright blue light when it's levitating.

He had a very good kenjutsu feat vs. Hiruzen who was known as the god of shinobi and we've already seen tons of old guys that were great: Danzo, Hiruzen, Oonoki

Your right, it's too often over looked.

 

[FemmeFatale]

Sasuke and kimmi surpassed him

 

[Mega Charizard X]

After Kimimaro beat the shit out of Gaara's Daddy, Orochimaru went in and easily finished off Gaara's Dad with his sexy Kenjutsu.

Where are the manga panels?

He'd rather puke that shit out of his mouth to stab someone than actually engage in Kenjutsu combat.

Madara got solo'd by a ninja made out of chocolate ice cream bro. Dude goes last.

 

[Sentinel of Light Style]

I'm not saying he wasn't good at it, but he mostly relied on the abilities of the Kusanagi Sword. How do we know that the levitation technique you mention isn't also specific to the sword?

To be fair this was around the time Orochimaru needed a new body but Sasuke didn't get there until late and he was forced to use one of his CM2 Test Subjects: Gen'yūmaru, I think he was probably around Sound 4 Level for Orochimaru to want to use his body
