Body Flame Technique
The user disappears from view. Unlike the Body Flicker Technique, the user goes away slowly, as if his body is being absorbed or burned by an invisible flame. This technique is seen when Naruto first sees Sasuke in the Shippūden series, when Sasuke, Kabuto and Orochimaru flee.
Body Shedding
Used after sustaining massive injury, or simply to escape from a seemingly inescapable attack, this technique allows the user to regurgitate a new body from their mouth, new clothes, complete with any lost limbs and all wounds healed, much like a snake sheds its skin. This technique requires a large amount of chakra, as Sasuke's reservoir was drained greatly when he escaped Amaterasu.
Eight Branches Technique
This is Orochimaru's greatest and strongest technique. Using the "power of reincarnation" possessed by the White Snake as an intermediary, he can transform into a giant white serpent with eight heads and eight tails. The serpent boasts a giant body, even larger than that of Manda, who is feared as the "strongest colossal serpent". Just by crawling on the scales of it's abdomen it was able to trample the Uchiha hideout, and can attack most things without fear.
When using this technique, Orochimaru can emerge from the mouth of one of the heads and use his Kusanagi Sword to attack, even without a host.
This technique trancends the "Snake", and becomes like a "Dragon God".
Gathering of the Snakes
If Orochimaru is somehow sliced in half by the opponent, snakes come from the halves and bring him back together.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hands
This jutsu allows the user to eject snakes from their wrist or sleeve, usually after a punching motion. The snakes are used primarily to attack from a distance and, being snakes, can inflict multiple poisonous wounds on the victim's body or hold them in place. This jutsu can be used with other parts of the body besides the arms, such as when Orochimaru used it with his tongue. This jutsu can also be classified as a variation of the summoning jutsu.
Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention
Using this jutsu, the user can merge with another object and take on its properties to avoid any damage. Orochimaru uses this to merge with a tree just before his battle with his former student, Anko Mitarashi.
Living Corpse Reanimation
This jutsu, developed by Orochimaru, allows him to transfer his soul to someone else's body. If repeated periodically, it basically grants the user immortality as long as they can find new host bodies and keep the host alive. Orochimaru can only perform this technique once every three years. It also seems that when the three years are almost over, he is forced to move into another host, as the previous one begins to reject him. Presumably, if he had a proper container, he could stay in the host for a full lifetime. The fact that he wants to prepare Sasuke Uchiha for the transfer before performing it seems to reinforce this.
To perform this technique, Orochimaru reveals his true form, a gigantic white snake composed of smaller white snakes, by abandoning his current host's body. Orochimaru then swallows the new host and takes him or her to a separate, mental plane where he envelops the mind of his victim. The snake body then dies and falls apart, and Orochimaru's soul dominates the body (though the Sharingan seems to be able to negate and reverse the process against Orochimaru). The souls of the hosts are kept alive within Orochimaru, leaving them "still alive," in a sense (albeit suppressed), and when Orochimaru switches hosts, the souls leave with him. Apparently if the host of these souls' chakra level falls enough it is possible for them to resurface in material form as seen with Orochimaru surfacing with his own body after Sasuke used up most of his chakra.
After taking over another body, Orochimaru modifies it to suit his theme of snakes, in order to increase his survival capabilities, such as stretching and bending his body and shedding his skin to heal injuries. This ensures that if Orochimaru cannot transfer body within the three years' time, he can allow it to greatly heal and evade attacks, rendering him virtually immortal. Orochimaru also alters the face of his host body to look like his original form.
While in this giant snake form, the smaller snakes that composes Orochimaru's body can extend themselves to strike and bind the targets. If Orochimaru is sliced to pieces, the body simply can reform, making him very difficult to kill. The blood that is released is also poisonous, evaporating into the air and paralyzing anyone who has breathed it in.
Myriad Snake Net Formation
With this technique, Orochimaru can release a torrent of countless snakes from his mouth, forming a wall of snakes. The snakes will then rise and rush towards his target, being almost impossible to stop or evade. While crawling together the snakes form a defensive wall blocking almost any attack. The snakes can also open their mouths to extend Kusanagi-like blades.
Slithering Snake Mode
Orochimaru turns the lower half of his body into a snake's tail, which greatly increases his speed and agility.
Snake Authority Jutsu
The user summons two big snakes which crawl out from one's sleeves, and coil around the enemy capturing them. This is a great technique for capturing someone alive, or for inflicting damage by constriction, and if the situation calls for it, the snakes can bite the victim with their poison fangs. With the summons specified beforehand, the procedure can be shortened by using blood on a summoning "contract seal" (結印, ketsuin), making it possible to use the technique immediately.
Snakes summoned by this technique are on a whole other level in terms of intelligence and strength, compared to normal summons. It is said that even shinobi with great skill are unable to escape from this restraint.
The further addition of the user's murderous intent can weaken their target's resolve.
Summoning Impure World Resurrection (Edo Tensai)
This summoning is a forbidden technique used to revive the dead. Kabuto mentions that Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru were the only ones who knew how to use this technique, and Kabuto now claims to have mastered it to a degree even higher than them. Before the technique can be performed, a living sacrifice must be found. The sacrifice's body is used as a vessel for the soul of whoever is being revived, with dirt and ash encasing them to resemble the original body of the person being resurrected. The end product is stored in a casket until summoned by the user.
When first summoned, the body of the resurrected appears gray and in in a state of minor decay. They retain any memories and abilities they had in life, including kekkei genkai. At this point the revived still have their free will, and thus are not under the user's control. With the application of a special fuda tag their free will is removed, but their appearance is restored to a closer likeness of how they looked in life. This technique can be used to summon multiple people at once, depending on the amount of sacrifices and the chakra level of the user.
The revived are impossible to kill by normal means. If a limb is destroyed or removed, it will simply regenerate. To kill the revived, the soul has to be removed. Once this is accomplished, the bodies turn back to ash and dust, with the bodies of the individuals sacrificed lying among the ashes.
When Orochimaru used this jutsu, he sacrificed Kin Tsuchi and Zaku Abumi to revive Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. Kabuto used it to resurrect Itachi Uchiha, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Nagato simultaneously. He also summoned a sixth coffin with an unseen person in it, whose presence forced Madara to accept Kabuto's offer for an alliance.
Vanishing Facial Copy Technique
The Vanishing Facial Copy Technique was developed for spying with grisly effects. It allows the user to peel off the face of another and wear it over their own, successfully appearing like them and copying their voice. It permanently peels the face off the victim. The bodies of the targets look like their faces have been melted off. Orochimaru uses this ability at various points in the series to assume different identities, particularly to make his host bodies look like his actual body.
Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands
By increasing the amount of snakes summoned with the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, the diversity of this ninjutsu is increased. The swarm of big snakes appear in an instant, each snake individually doing something like intimidating, diverting, or capturing the enemy in a cooperative attack. Without giving them the time to react, the enemy is entangled.
