Do orochimaru!!!

Tsunade – Jiraiya - Orochimaru: Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are almost lifted straight from Japanese legend The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya, which tells of a ninja who can transform into a toad (Jiraiya) who is in love with a beautiful young princess who masters snail magic (Tsunade). But the greatest villain in their love story was Orochimaru. He used to be the follower of Jiraiya at one point of time but gradually he was overwhelmed by the influence of snake magic. Orochimaru’s name has significance beyond that of the Tale of Gallant Jiraiya; Orochi literally means ‘great snake’ and there are many other Japanese and Asian legends that are linked to snakes, that are appropriate to his character such as those related to immortality and re-birth, most poignantly in that of the eight-headed serpent and Susanno described in the Sharingan Jutsus section, which is also where the legend of the Kusanagi sword used by Orochimaru.
