In the original story, the Hoshikage of Hoshikage Village was killed by Akahoshi because he tried to stop Akahoshi from continuing his training with the star meteorite.
Since then, Akahoshi had served as acting Hoshikage, a role he held for several years until Team Naruto arrived.
Orochimaru was unsure whether his arrival had altered the course of history, but presumably, the person who was supposed to die had indeed died, and the culprit had pinned the blame on them.
