A scientist cannot be a homeless beggar
During the 3 years he arrived in the world, Orochimaru tested and got used to his strength, but the plan to find a home stayed in his mind.
Follow the historical line? not change anything? Orochimaru didn't like the idea
So why not become the leader of an empire, establish a big territory and make your empire the richest and most technological
Orochimaru arrived in Constantinople during the siege of the Ottomans, he could force Constantine to accept him, but what fun would that be?
Orochimaru approached the king, offered the deal and waited and waited
Constantine XI is a great king, and a great king cares for his people, although dying heroically is an option, which king would sit around watching his population massacred, abused, and the few survivors sold as slaves

ottoman camp
Mehmed II was in his tent, he was looking at the map
but it was not a map of Constantinople, but a map of europe, a conqueror and military genius was already thinking about what to do after taking down the legendary city
While Mehmed II was still thinking, screams were heard
"AHHHHHHHHH SNAKE"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Mehmed got dressed and left, he was ready to punish the soldiers who screamed in fear of a stupid snake
'we destroyed an empire that is almost a thousand years old, but these idiots scream in fear of snakes' Mehmed
Mehmed opened the tent and got out, but there was something in front of him, something giant
the Ottoman leader looked up, a purple snake over 60 meters was looking at him
"this...is it a nightmare? but when i sleep" Mehmed
the snake was Manda, it was summoned by Orochimaru to play with the Ottoman army
in 5 minutes, 1/3 of the army was destroyed
Manda bent down and devoured Mehmed, the great leader did not react, until the end he thought he was dreaming
May 29, 1453
On this day nearly 80,000 Ottoman soldiers died, this included European soldiers who betrayed the Byzantine Empire
the few survivors fled all night in all directions
Constantine XI could not believe it, the screams of fear and panic outside the walls made him shudder.
"I...did I make the right choice?" constantine

"Gather your soldiers, take back all your lost territories, having only this city is ridiculous" Orochimaru
"our army....has no more than 5,000 soldiers now, hokage" Constantine
Hokage is the title Orochimaru chose, being called a king is tacky as he will be in the dark
"no problem, bring your 20 best soldiers, I will increase their strength" Orochimaru
Orochimaru created a new curse seal, something simpler that increases strength, stamina and speed, perfect for ordinary humans.
in a short time, 20 men entered
before they could speak, they saw a white man transform his arm into several snakes.
the snakes quickly stretched and bit the necks of the 20 soldiers
their bodies got a tattoo
they felt their bodies get stronger
Orochimaru laughed at the soldiers' reactions, of course no person who receives the curse mark can betray Orochimaru
Orochimaru put the mark on only 20 soldiers, that's because he's testing the waters, he doesn't want any bald mage after him
