The reason Orochimaru is so young, EXPLAINED!

[Imperious]

Orochimaru obviously found another Uchiha, a strong one other than Sasuke. He would have sooner stole his body, had he not noticed something significant about Shin Uchiha. His body was almost barely resistant to any of the test orochimaru applied to him. So, instead of taking and wasting this fine specimen, he made clones, ones who act and work like normal humans without disappearing. So, Orochimaru just uses those clones when ever his body runs out of juice, Just like Shin was all set to use his clones for extra organs...

Nah, probably one of his henchman willingly gave up her body to him. (Just like Kimimaro once wanted).

Maybe it's related to his body mainly being hashis cellls

My statement seems more likely, and actually makes more sense. Because even when getting a body from his henchmen, Orochimaru wouldn't be as significantly young as he was in the manga. That body was taken from a younger being, which would connect to the young Shin Uchiha Clone. Besides, this manga take place a very lengthy time after the war. If Orochimaru had a henchman's body, it would have decayed a while ago and he would have to constantly take their bodies to work up to this period in time. I'm not even sure he even has henchman strong enough for their bodies to be taken anyways, except the Taka Team, whose bodies he surely won't be taking. And exactly why would Orochimaru pass over a chance to take a Uchiha's body for a Henchman's body?

Nah, because in shippuden his body mostly consisted of hashirama's cells, and even then he wasn't as young looking as he is now.

 

[SenseiSama]

He used the body if a woman like in part 1

Why is everyone assuming the body's a girl?

Well maybe it's the Gaiden design, because Oro looks waaay younger than he ever did in part 1,2 or ever!

 

[wootan]

orochimaru looks like karin to me... must have taken her body! he can either get uchiha body or senju(uzumaki) and guess wat... he had senju genes(karin) only thing missing are eyes.. and he can be as strong as nagato..
