Although Orochimaru said nothing, he nodded in agreement.
"Today, I'm taking you to meet someone familiar. Are you ready?"
Orochimaru smiled faintly. "Naturally."
He had guessed yesterday whom they were going to meet. After thinking it over, it seemed there was only one possibility: himself.

The village had been rather chaotic during that time too.

Orochimaru gave a response. "Yes. Is there something you need?"
Minato Namikaze hesitated, then finally shook his head. "No, nothing. I was just asking."
Orochimaru found it strange, but since Minato Namikaze had not asked, he did not press the matter.
After all, he rather disliked troublesome matters.
"Don't forget to take your test subject," Amado reminded him.
Orochimaru naturally could not forget something so important. "Don't worry. I'll retrieve it before I leave."

Her due date was within the next few days, so someone needed to stay by her side.
Konan normally took care of Kushina, but they had gone out on a mission these
