I read another version once - Orochimaru married a Princess named Tsunade and they were both good with magic, and then one of his most trusted servants betrayed him and changed his name to Orochimaru (meaning "monstruous snake"), but he defeated him with the help of his wife.

BTW, the kanjis used to write "Jiraiya" in that movie are completely different from the ones used to write "Jiraiya" in Naruto...

Also, its very interesting that Jiraiya's actual look comes from a Kabuki play. I wonder if Kishimoto likes Kabuki? Most japanese find it too boring to watch...


Edit : Just watched the movies carefully... God, that Orochimaru sucks big time. He looks just so fuggin stupid!!! And the girl... Kuchsomething, looks terrible too. I like the Naruto look much, MUCH better. By far. Jiraiya looks cooler/wiser (to some extent) and Orochimaru actually looks like a bad guy... not like a stand-in.
I hope you mean Jiraiya marrys Tsunade lol i think u did tho but u put Orochimaru married Tsunade. but anyway thats the one i read about aswell very cool i think the way Kishimoto has used em in the anime.
