Why did Orochimaru turn evil?

[super michael]

As the title thread says, why did Orochimaru turn evil? I mean Orochimaru as a kid wasn't evil, what caused him to turn evil? Is it possible that Danzo is the reason that Orochimaru turned evil?

I mean Danzo did this things which he is responsible:
1st Danzo betrayed Kabuto and his mum, which resulted in Kabuto mum being killed, which turned Kabuto evil
2nd Danzo was involve with Nagato, which is how Yahiko died and Nagato turned evil

So if Danzo did those things, isn't it possible that Danzo was the reason why Orochimaru turned evil? Lets not forget Danzo makes their ninja kill each other or they both die to graduate.

When you been through so many wars and seen so many deaths, you start to look at things differently. Orochimaru is not evil. He is just different and a misunderstood character.

not evil? not evil?? ^

 

[jiraiya nindo]

That's plausible. Oro was trained by hiruzen and hiruzen was already the hokage by that point which wouldve meant that danzo was prob leader of ROOT by that point as well. So Danzo wouldve had the resources and power/influence to turn oro evil and keep his actions hidden from the 3rd. Makes sense.

OR

Oro was just a bad cookie

As much as I like him, he's absolutely evil. He kills nation leaders and he abducts and possesses people's bodies for his own benefit.

No different from the 2nd hokage using prisoners for edo tensei jutsu.

He wanted to stop death more than likely. His parents died, no child wants that obviously. He wanted a way to be immortal, ever-lasting. I believe his intentions were for the greater good rather than evil, but he knew the only way to accomplish this was to go down the dark path.

Overall I don't think Orochimaru is evil, merely an Anti-Hero. He's more like than likely trying to achieve %100 immortality, for the greater good to stop deaths like his own parents.

hes nuts

Since when children = death wanted crime ?

 

[Kakooli]

I have a theory on Orochimaru being a Haruno and he couldn't control Inner-Orochimaru (his evil side) and it took over. Kinda like a bijuu. The reason this didn't happen to Sakura is because she conquered it with her perfect chakra control/strong will.

 

[super michael]

I guess Orochimaru goal for immortality is good, since that means no more death, if Orochimaru was successful, that mean no more death in Naruto. Its too bad Orochimaru never succeeded in doing that.

Orochimaru did something good, thanks to him Konoha has a wood element user which is Yamato, who isn't as powerful as Hashimaru but still strong none the less.

You say that like the 2nd Hokage wasn't evil too. The man persecuted and isolated an entire group of people based solely on his paranoia. That's an internment camp. Not to mention Edo Tensei is a particularly evil jutsu in and of itself, you're sacrificing another life for your own selfish reasons whether it be to revive a loved one or summon an army.

They're both human beings. The hidden leaf village suppose to be a role model to the world. That was Hashi's dream. Suppose to be a home for anybody and treat everybody with care no matter what their background is. 2nd hokage went like F it, let me create the edo tensei jutsu. Then tell his people to catch them other shinobi alive so i can use them for the jutsu.

Bottom line is you can't point fingers at Orochimaru when a lot of other characters are just as guilty.

 

[SageOro]

He is not evil. He just doesnt have any morals when it comes to using humans for his expirements.

lol You misread me. Im saying that if you want to call Orochimaru evil, then you better be calling the 2nd hokage evil too.

you quote that bold and show it to every one... When you grow up, you will see how stupid it sound.
Because some one else is evil then the evil itself is pardoned ?

His desire for immortality. And I think it's also that he didn't become Yondaime. If that were true, he'd try to kill Naruto for that reason.
