White Snake Sage

The is the leader of the snakes and resides at the Ryūchi Cave.

Background
At some point after he absorbed Orochimaru's remains, Kabuto Yakushi came to it and under its tutelage, the young man learned senjutsu and mastered the snakes' equivalent of Sage Mode. Orochimaru also learned senjutsu from it at some point in the past and also tried to learn Sage Mode but was unable to due to his body.

Appearance
This snake is extremely large — many times the size of a human with its massive body wrapped in coils. Along these coils are circular bands. It wears a hat with two pointed edges and an orb on top and a headdress. It also wears a chain with a similar orb around its neck, similar to the one worn by the Great Toad Sage. The Sage also smokes, using a long cigarette holder when doing so.
