In actuality, Otogakure was not really a village, but a group of hideouts and bases scattered throughout the Land of Sound and various other countries. Sound ninja use a diverse amount of techniques, which are mostly centred around the modifications and mutations Orochimaru gave them. After Orochimaru's death, clans that had associated with the missing-nin came together and kept the name of the Hidden Village. The leading clan within the village is the Fuma Clan.
