The Mitarashi Clan was a small clan that had risen to prominence only in recent years, and it had thrown its lot in with Orochimaru.
As Orochimaru grew stronger, his standing rose and his authority expanded. The Mitarashi Clan flourished along with him.
Just as Medical Ninjas all considered Tsunade the greatest, the children of the Mitarashi Clan believed Orochimaru was the greatest!
