He’s human.
But basically a “crazy scientist” that has no problem playing around with genetics, corpses, hybridization and whatever else he thinks might prove useful.
He also uses the knowledge has gained on himself, hebce why he’s become a bit of “creature”.
But he did start off a normal human.

Thanks! Do you have any references/sources on that? It’s well known that he would do anything - including playing with human lives - in his pursuit for eternal life and the acquisition of all techniques in existence. But I have never heard about that endeavor being the reason he got those snake eyes and other… Attributes xD

He’s already modified his body extensively to extend his life.
He is the same age as Jiraya and Tsunade.

There was explicit mentions multiple times about his laboratories and about his illegal experiments while he was still in the village and afterwards all the experiments on children he kept doing over the years to absorb their powers.

it’s explained more in the manga, but he essentially did a lot of taboo experiments and was outcast iirc
