Orochimaru in Naruto was, until the end of the time skip at the time, one of the most notorious villains of the entire story. Orochimaru lost its relevance as the story began to concentrate more on the Uchiha and the tales about Indra and Ashura. Orochimaru died in the first half of the story. This was not surprising considering the story’s anticlimactic tone. Kabuto absorbed his remains and became one of the perpetrators during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Sasuke killed Orochimaru and made his return to war. It was evident, even though Orochimaru had returned, that Sasuke (and many other Shinobi) had already overtaken him. He no longer seemed menacing and was never given a proper arch to display his true abilities following Konoha Crush. Orochimaru’s misdeeds were not forgotten. He was considered a “gag character” in the war. Despite his mistakes, he was able to establish relationships with the Leaf Village. Orochimaru became “good at heart”, much like many other villains. His potential as a fantastic villain was destroyed.
