I am wondering, during Orochimaru's fight with the 3rd Hokage, there's a
little girl whom Orochimaru possessed.

Who was that girl? What is her ability, or why did Orochimaru choose to
possess her?

I tried browsing the net and replaying the sequel but still can't find that
little girl in the story.

Who was the little girl being possessed by Orochimaru during his fight with 3rd Hokage?


I believe you are talking about the girl Orochimaru "became" during the fight
with the 3rd Hokage on the roof during the Chunin exams (Ch. 121). I just went
back and read that part of the story and I don't believe her identity was ever
stated. This is the episode in the anime where he rips his face off and
reveals this girl's face:

In other words this is the girl he used as his vessel.

I don't think we have much canon information to go on, other than the fact
that she was probably powerful, since Orochimaru possessed her body.

Note that the Naruto wikia folks couldn't dig up much about her either, and as
a result, the wikia page for her ended up being deleted due to lack of
notability. (See the [discussion for that
page](https://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Orochimaru%27s_Previous_Body).)
