Orochimaru's tongue is very disturbing to me, and I've been wanting an explanation for why it's so long. Then this story just popped into my head.;)

This story takes place when Orochimaru was 5 years old.

Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto, Orochimaru or a disturbingly long tongue.

"Orochimaru! I'm going to the bakery. Do you want to come along?" Orochimaru's mother (who will remain anonymous) called out to her son.

"Well, I would except I'm planning to destroy Konoha and everyone in it." was the reply.

"What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you said."

"Oh, sure. I'd love to come...better get to know an area first before I destroy it right?"

"Hmm? I didn't hear the last part."

"Oh nothing..."

He bounced down the stairs and headed out with his poor, unsuspecting mother.

In the bakery

"You go off and play now, I want to talk to the bakery owner for a bit." His mother desperately needed a break from her son, who was starting to scare her, as she could have sworn she heard him muttering "Destroy, destroy!" all the way to the bakery.

Orochimaru wandered off hoping he could find something to do when he came upon a door that said:

Employees Only. Wondering what he could do in there, and having not learned how to read, he went in.

There he saw two workers putting a ball of dough in between two rollers, that were used to stretch and flatten the dough.

Watching them work Orochimaru got a very stupid idea.

What would happen if I...

He waited for them to leave and then walked up to the rollers. Making sure no one was there, he advanced and proceeded to put his currently normal toungue in between the rollers!

Being the problem child he is, his toungue was stuck and he didn't know how to stop it!

He was stuck there, unable to call out for his toungue was stuck.

Five Minutes Later...

"Oh where is that son of mine? Orochimaru? Orochimaruuuu?" His mother had finished her business and was now looking for her son.

"Ma'am? Is this your son?" The two workers had appeared, carrying a tired Orochimaru, with a long pile of thoungue.

"Oh my goodness it is! Orochimaru! How many times have I told you not to stick your toungue in machines!"

"...Thome thay I'll thet you thall!(Some day I'll get you all)" Orochimaru had some difficulty speaking with his stretched out toungue.

Eventually he got used to his toungue and found out how to swallow it, like what he currently does. But he was banned from the bakery.
