Description

Orochimaru transforms into a giant white snake with eight heads and eight tails. To do this, he uses the power of the White Snake's rebirth as an intermediary. The body of this snake is enormous: it is larger than that of Manda, who was called the strongest giant snake. A single movement of its ventral scales razed the Uchiha hideout to the ground, and the snake destroys most obstacles with ease. The technique goes beyond "Snake", becoming akin to the "Dragon God". While it is active, Orochimaru can emerge from the mouth of one of the heads. This is a technique of the highest rank.
