Orochimaru is a twisted man who only thinks of himself, kills anyone on the
whim and uses everyone.

Why then people (like Kimimaro) follow him and are ready to give their lives
for him?

Why did people follow Orochimaru?


On second thought, I think all followers of Orochimaru are in it for their own
gain with the exception of the few he has manipulated ...

There are several reasons why Orochimaru has followers despite his character:

  1. He is one of the 3 Sannin, so some follow him to gain his mentorship. 
  2. Saving people by giving them what they really want.
  3. By manipulating them.

Most of the reason revolves around those two basic concepts, but in the end
both Orochimaru and those followers require each other for their own personal
benefits.

Orochimaru being stronger, his followers have no other choice but to follow
him, learn things until they become stronger than him.

If there had been someone else other than Orochimaru in his place, maybe those
followers might have had different endings or goals. In the end it's the cause
and effect of their own personal ambitions.

There are many reasons for why people follow Orochimaru, but I think they
follow him for the following reasons:

  1. He is the founder of Otokagure (Hidden PERSONAL village Orochimaru used to experiment ninjas he collected)

  2. He is really powerful and one of the Legendary Sannin

  3. He might of convinced his followers to join him for more power as he did with Sasuke when he was a little kid.
