I don't think that Danzo really had any effect on Orochimaru, because he began to change when his parents died. Then he experienced the deaths other people around him and saw the suffering that this caused. I think that Orochimaru was probably using Danzo to further his own goals. Danzo probably provided the test subjects, material, and the funding.

Orochimaru was originally trying to figure out how to either live long enough to see his parents again or how to resurrect them. This was from what Hiruzen told him about reincarnation when he was really young. He was kind of like Sasori in that they both had misguided ways of looking at the world and protecting the ones that they loved. This eventually turned into them realizing their own mortality and trying to figure out ways to permanently cement their legacies and experimenting on other people. Sasori turned himself into a puppet in an attempt to live forever, and Orochimaru learned how to transfer his consciousness to new bodies.

It's possible, but I think we will never know since both are dead.
I agree with this. ^ Danzo might have helped shape Orochimaru into the sort of man we now see but as Kaka96 has stated above, Hiruzen noticed Orochimaru's hunger for power. So, interesting point and it's possible either way, if Danzo was an influence so I'm upset to be unable to find out the truth. Hopefully Kishi will explain some mysteries behind some characters even if they are dead soon.

Exactly! that's a clear definition of someone being used. What Danzo did he thought he did it for the sake of the village and he wanted to eliminate hiruzen. But in reality, he created a monster out of Orochimaru and when Orochimaru tried destroying the leaf as well as killing Hiruzen, thats when Danzo realised Oro was a threat to the leaf so he sent Sai to sabotage Oro's plan by killing Sasuke. Isn't that funny Danzo still had alliance with Oro even after Sarutobi's death?
I'm sure danzo only played a small part in orochimarus wickedness and if anything thats not orochimaru being used its danzo I'm sure orochimaru loved experimenting on him with senju and uchiha dna if anything it helped further orochimarus goals even tho he never got to use that experiment again but kabuto did with edo madara

yeah revenge was one of the factors but I think Danzo initiated all that greed and madness into Orochimaru.

No i do not think that is the case, Hiruzen himself admitted that Oro had a lust for power in his eyes but he avoided it and thought that he could change that, but he failed,Danzo had nothing to do with oro's betrayel.
