Fugaku allows Itachi into the Anbu's ranks as a means of spying on the village so that the coup could be successful. Itachi, however, knew an Uchiha coup would lead to intervention from other villages and ultimately start another World War, something he could not support.

#He met with Tobi around this time for reasons unknown.
{{{{Source: NARUTOPEDIA, Naruto chapter 474, page 12.
In the anime, the Root Anbu inform Danzō that the body count of the Uchiha doesn't match with their list, probably because Obito sucked some of them inside his dimension in order to harvest their Sharingan. This probably lead to Danzō run some investigation and the Root Anbu impersonating Kagen Uchiha must have left some message about the other Uchiha aka Obito, then known as Tobi; who was helping Itachi in obliterating the Uchiha Clan, that's how Danzō probably met Tobi.}}}

Due to this Orochimaru declares him as one of his future hosts and Kimimaro being his most loyal follower, did not mind such a fate if it meant being of aid in fulfilling his master's dream.

Idate was tricked into believing that this would grant him advancement to chūnin. Once the sword was in Aoi's hands, he fled the country with Idate, who was ashamed of his actions and they went to Amegakure. When Ibiki Morino and two Anbu members caught up with them, Aoi had the Anbu quickly killed, and Ibiki ended up being captured by the Ame ninja, where Aoi then tortured him to read the scroll. Idate escaped under Ibiki's advice. As Aoi attacked Ibiki, the latter escaped as well. Aoi then later managed to become a jōnin of Amegakure.
{{{A/N: Since Konohagakure was still recovering from the Uchiha Massacre, they weren't able to create enough pressure on Hanzo to hand over Aoi and the Sword of the Thunder God back to Konoha. And going on war over a sword is outright stupid even if it is the Sword of The Thunder God and since Ibiki was able to retrieve the Scroll containing the details on how to use the Sword to it's fullest potential, hence it wasn't that big of a problem and was left forgotten by the Leaf.}}}

#Due to the severed arm, Orochimaru is forced to use Living Corpse Reanimation Jutsu.
#Shin who had already developed a fixation on the Uchiha clan after learning about the various abilities granted by their Kekkai Genkai the Sharingan finds out how Itachi easily overpowered and within seconds defeated Orochimaru and made him flee with his tail between his legs. As such his fixation on the Uchiha Clan turns into perverse obsession, especially over Itachi, thus he begins to imitate the Uchiha: adopting their surname and customary clothing, as well as numerous Sharingan which have been implanted all over his body. Some time after this, Shin finds out about the Mangekyō Sharingan and left Orochimaru's side and took most of his clones with him for performing experiments in order to attain the evolved form of the Sharingan himself.
{{{A/N: During these experiments, one of his clones probably becomes attached to some other clone and after that Clone's death during these experimentation, the attached one awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

By isolating an enzyme from Jūgo's special fluids and mixing it with his own senjutsu chakra, Orochimaru created a cursed seal he could brand others with. Orochimaru typically gives his cursed seals to either his more powerful followers or those he would like to use as his host body.
#Orochimaru perfects the cursed seals also known as Curse Mark. But only one out of the ten survives after receiving it.
