1. What is the Power of the White Snake?
Power of the White Snake is a source of abilities Orochimaru utilizes through his True Form. After becoming a white snake himself (via unknown ways), he became a living symbol of rebirth. A being with incredible life force and regeneration capabilities - surpassing even the likes of Tsunade.
In this thread Ill try to break down everything Shirohebi no Chikara gives, since many people do not understand how it truly works.

Basically, the 'brain' of Orochimaru is his True Form. The human shell acts as its 'home'. But the common misconception is that the White Giant Snake resides inside of the human host. It's false - it resides in Orochimaru's own dimension.
The proof is posted below.
The proof is posted below.
A. Firstly, Oro's True Form is simply too big to reside inside a human body - especially with it having organs, limbs etc. In the scan below, you can clearly see that a single snake that creates its whole body is like a half of a human. And there are thousands of snakes...
B. Secondly, if Oro's True form was directly inside his human body, the blood flowing out of his body would've paralyse Sasuke and the rest - but it didn't.
C. Giant White Snake transports its victims during Living Corpse Reincarnation to the separate dimension - so it's obvious he can stay there himself.

So far 4 abilities (not only Ninjutsu) are confirmed to be based on Shirohebi no Chikara:
Abilities that do NOT benefit directly from White Snake Powers:
A. Gathering of the Snakes (fanmade name) - a jutsu Orochimaru used after getting bisected by Kyuubiruto. It can be easily seen that the snakes re-attaching him were white snakes that are a part of Oro's True Form.
B. Eight Branches - no explanation needed. Confirmed by Databook.
C. Passive regeneration abilities and greatly increased life force.
D. Everything that comes with Giant White Snake body - poisonous blood, ability to use white snakes as offense.
E*. Not confirmed, but most likely Oro's ability to modify his human hosts to make them obtain snake-like traits (Slithering Snake Mode, Soft Physique, etc.)

C. Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes.

As I have already said in the beginning, I believe that Orochimaru's regeneration capabilities are way above everyone else in NV. I don't really want to get deep into other things, like resistance (thanks to completely inhuman body properties) and ways of mitigating damage. I want to purely focus on regeneration.
A. Already proven, that Power of the White Snake greatly boosts regeneration and massively increases life force (look Sasuke's and Kabuto's statements).
B. Something not many people know - Eight Branches is regeneration itself! It most likely doesn't even require chakra - it is based on White Snake Power alone. Also, after Itachi had cut off Yamata no Orochi's heads and stabbed Orochimaru right through his body, Oro laughed at him and commented that such a wound wasn't any threat at all.
C. Oro's regeneration doesn't apply to his human form only. In mere seconds, he managed to regenerate all the damage done to his True Form after being mutilated and bisected in multiple places by Sasuke.
D. Being able to regenerate lost skin and body layers in mere seconds - exactly what Orochimaru did during his fight with Naruto.

Orochimaru and decapitation is always a touchy topic, so I want to prove once and for all, that beheading isn't stopping him. People tend to judge Orochimaru with human standards, which is actually very wrong. We've already seen that Orochimaru took 2 point-blank Chakra Scalpels from Kabuto - one to the chest and one to his throad. And while the head itself wasn't cut off, thanks to Chakra Scalpels' properties, all internal organs (in this case including spine and neural connections) were severely damaged. Something like that would've meant death to normal humans.
Yet Orochimaru without problems managed to use his Body Replacement.
Another testament to my point of Oro's True Form being the brain and the one who has to be destroyed in the first place is already mentioned Gathering of the Snakes. The claim of Orochimaru needing his 'human brain' to execute any actions is false, since we've already seen that his lower body part could sending out white snakes from his True Form body, despite not being connected with his upper body part. This is the ultimate proof of Oro's human body being only a shell and his True Body being the mastermind behind the scenes - chilling safely in his private dimension.

Thank you so much for reading it all. Hope you enjoyed and I hope it cleared (at least a bit) misconceptions about Orochimaru and his true self. I know some of you might disagree with my belief of Orochimaru having the most developed regeneration abilities and skills in NV, but to me, it's not even close to overrating. Regeneration is to Orochimaru what long lifespan is to Uzumaki Clan. It's something natural. Moreover, I intentionally skipped Oro's Body Replacement when talking about his regeneration prowess, since it probably doesn't have roots in Power of the White Snake. Still, it is another testament to Oro's power, especially in that exact department.
But again, thanks for reading
