So, I have read a few theories about Orochimaru recently. This got me thinking and according to me, his role is far from over in this story.
First, I will try to draw attention to the Bible story :-
In this story, we see a few similarities to the Legend Of the Shinju in Naruto :-
Fruit - The Shinju's Fruit which gives knowledge and power.
Eve - Kaguya who ate the Fruit.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil - Shinju, the God Tree.
The Serpent - The Serpent referencing Orochimaru (I will clear it up ahead).
Moving on, I will focus on what the Serpent was :-
The Curse placed on the Serpent :-
Orochimaru's role :-
Conclusion :-
First, I will try to draw attention to the Bible story :-
In chapter 2, after God creates Adam, God puts Adam in the garden of Eden. And in the midst of the garden, among "every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food," God plants "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." God tells Adam he is free to eat of the fruit of any tree except the one tree in the center of the garden. And then God creates Eve to keep Adam from being lonely and to give him a helper.
In chapter 3, the serpent comes into the story. The serpent is described as being "more crafty than any other wild creature." The serpent convinces Eve that God did not really mean what he said to Adam about not eating of the one tree, and after taking a good look at the tree, Eve samples its fruit. She likes how it tastes that it is a "delight to the eyes," and that it is "to be desired to make one wise"; and she gives some of the tree's fruit to Adam. He seems to forget, at least momentarily, what God had told him about not eating of that particular tree, and he eats the fruit that Eve has given him. Then God appears.
After being questioned, Adam admits to God that he ate of the tree, but goes on to offer an excuse for his behavior: "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." God then asks Eve: "What is this that you have done (Ate the fruit)?" And she makes an excuse for her behavior: "The serpent tricked me, and I ate the fruit."

The Serpent - The Serpent referencing Orochimaru (I will clear it up ahead).
Moving on, I will focus on what the Serpent was :-
The serpent who talks with Eve is generally identified as an animal that was made by Yahweh among the beasts of the field. It also has legs.
The description sounds very similar to that of a Dragon :-
A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures.
See, the connection of Dragons with Snakes ? Not to mention, even Kabuto's Snake Sage Mode is connected to Dragons.
Here, we see that Kabuto is able to transcend from a Snake to a Dragon. And this is related to the curse placed on the Serpent by the Shinju.

Kabuto continued Orochimaru's research and discovered the Ryūchi Cave, where he learned senjutsu from the White Snake Sage. He gained access to a Sage Mode which, according to him, allowed him to figuratively transcend from a snake into a "dragon".

The Curse placed on the Serpent :-
As, said in the previous point, The Serpent might have been a Dragon-like Creature. When, Eve (Kaguya) ate the fruit, she put the blame on the Serpent.
The snake is punished by god for its role in Adam and Eve's fall by being made to crawl on its belly in the dust.
Going by this logic, we can assume that The Dragon like creature was cursed by the Shinju for making Kaguya eat it's fruit and was transformed into a Serpent or snake.
Obviously, The Serpent was filled with Hatred as it was now in a lowly form and plotted Revenge aganist the Shinju and Kaguya (As both were responsible for his fall).
A) Kaguya didn't take the blame and put it on the Serpent.
B) The Shinju cursed the Serpent.
And this is where Orochimaru comes in.

Orochimaru's role :-
I will now focus on a Theory made by Rabbit Teth which shows the similarities between Kaguya and Orochimaru :-
The Theory actually raises a thought that Orochimaru could have been a transmigrant of the Serpent like creature cursed by the Shinju.
It could be similar to the Ashura and Indra transmigration. While their Transmigration was fueled by a will to fight.
The Serpent's transmigration was fuelled by a desire of revenge against Kaguya and the Shinju.
Perhaps the connection between Orochimaru and the Serpent lies in the White Snakes connected to Orochimaru ?
Underlined : Kinda reminds you of Transmigration, doesn't it, espescially the Rebirth part.
And here are the manga panels of it :-
So, I would say that the possibility of Orochimaru being the Serpent's Transmigrant is still there.

Orochimaru's sadistic attitude was presumably due to the death of his parents. At some point after losing them, Orochimaru found a white snake near his parents' grave, with Hiruzen's explanation of it representing fortune and rebirth inspiring Orochimaru to study kinjutsu and obtain knowledge of all techniques.

Conclusion :-
So, to sum this up :-
1) The Dragon may have helped Kaguya in getting the fruit of the Shinju.
2) The Dragon was cursed by the Shinju and transformed into a Serpent for helping Kaguya get to the fruit.
3) The Serpent was filled with Revenge against Kaguya and the Shinju and as such his Hatred led to his Transmigration.
4) The Serpent might have helped Black Zetsu in reviving Kaguya in his previous Transmigrations.
5) Eventually Orochimaru became the Transmigrant of the Serpent and is currently plotting revenge on Kaguya and the Shinju.

Interestingly, Orochimaru gave near about all the components to reviving Kaguya :-
A) Kabuto under the control of Orochimaru revives Edo Madara. (Madara's revival wouldn't have happened anyways because Obito was against it).
B) Orochimaru revives Edo Hashirama giving the revived Madara, Sage Mode and in a way making him more compatible with the Juubi and eventually the Shinju.
The above led to the revival of Kaguya.
