What IT MEANS to be a true shinobi?
His beliefs firmly lie in the mastery of Ninjutsu, it's what he lives his life by, it's what his entire life's aspiration has been....to learn and master all the jutsu of the shinobi world. For that reason he extends his life by irregular means, the Immortality jutsu, there is nothing that bothers him more than the fragility and vulnerability of humans and the weakness of old age. One can say, that is his greatest despair.
To Orochimaru, Ninjutsu is what makes a Ninja. Emotions and attachments mean absolutely nothing, they are a weakness, and all weaknesses must be shunned.
As Sarutobi schooled him while taking away his arms, all he could think about was hurting Hiruzen in some way, cursing him the entire time, he failed to learn anything from his former Sensei.
As Jiraiya was telling him something similar, by showing him a shining example in Uzumaki Naruto right in front of his eyes, Orochimaru, who had previously deemed Naruto a failure compared to the Uchiha, Sasuke, was now fearful of the future threat he might pose and tried to finish him.
Years later Sasuke himself showed Orochimaru, that his cruel and unusual ways of acquiring power were only going to lead him to his own doom.
Now that he has been given another chance by Sasuke himself, do you think Orochimaru has realised any of these things? Is he the same old cruel and greedy individual who looks for nothing but his own gain?
Will he ever learn?
