Orochimaru
First Manga Appearance: 45
First Anime Appearance: 27
Ring: Kai (Boar) on right pinky finger
Originally From: Hidden Leaf Village
Miscellaneous Information: Orochimaru not being picked to be the Fourth Hokage, led to him fleeing from the Hidden Leaf Village. He became an Akatsuki member afterwards, but fled because of his fear of Itachi's power. Upon leaving, he kept his Akatsuki ring, which is currently still on the hand of his original body. The apparent special nature of his ring, his knowledge of their plans, and his fleeing of Akatsuki without informing the leader have led to bad blood between Orochimaru and Akatsuki. He found the Hidden Sound Village and took Sasuke as his subordinate with plans to transfer himself into Sasuke so that he could have the power of the Sharingan. Unfortunately for him, his plan never fully materialized as Sasuke killed Orochimaru before he could lay his hands on him.
