Japanese Folklore
Folklore in Japan occupy a significant part of Japanese culture, as there was a fascination of the cult of the serpent. This cult could regularly be found in mythological texts, narratives, customs and rituals. This would explain the prominence of serpents and highlight why Orochimaru was commonly found within Japanese narratives, becoming a mythical creature that was often referenced in folklore. However, the serpent was depicted as being evil in story with Jiraiya, suggesting that mythical creatures also had a sense of morality.
