- Summoning Jutsu (Manda): Orochimaru can bring out big snakes, like the giant Manda, to help him in battle.
- Summoning: Rashomon: It’s a jutsu that creates massive demonic gates for defense. Just to clarify, though, this move isn’t Orochimaru’s—it’s used by another character. But it’s still pretty awesome

Taijutsu(Hand to Hand Comabt)
Orochimaru can use taijutsu, but it’s not his main area of expertise, because
- Capable fighter: He was a Sannin, a title earned through immense skill, and held his own against the legendary Hanzo. This wouldn’t be possible without solid taijutsu.
- Not a master: The series primarily focuses on his jutsu mastery, but in series, we saw some taijutsu skills also
- Efficient and precise: When he does use taijutsu, it’s described as swift and accurate, focusing on exploiting weaknesses rather than flashy moves.
So, while Orochimaru can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat, his true power is his knowledge of the variety of mastered Justus
Genjutsu(Mind manipulated techniuqe)
In all the Naruto episodes, Orochimaru mastered tons of strong Jutsu. But here’s the thing he never used Genjutsu. That might be why he really wanted Sasuke to be his new body. In the show, they never show Orochimaru doing Genjutsu, so it seems like he just didn’t know how. That’s probably why he was so interested in Sasuke—he’s really good at Genjutsu.
Conclusion
Our legendary Sannin Orochimaru could use many powerful and forbidden jutsu, which were more powerful and dangerous for normal shinobi. It’s a fact that he mastered ninjutsu and could easily defeat most opponents with his ninjutsu skills. but when it comes to taijutsu, he was good but not a master Additionally, when things to come up with Genjutsu skills, Orochimaru would often falter, as we never see him using any Genjutsu abilities. This could be the main reason why Orochimaru was interested in Itachi and Sasuke’s bodies.
