awesome story. i loved it. it is a good explaination to why he's psychotic.

Well written! It made me actually feel sorry for Orochimaru.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this. )

Very interesting, though I wished you had given more character development on Orochimaru. For example, how did he discover who his father was and why did it take him so long to do so.

Either way, I enjoyed reading this fic.

I like this alot. I've always wondered about Orochimaru's parents. Mainly whether he had any or not, and if he did, what they thought of him when he was younger and (if they still live) what they think of him now.

This is a nice telling of that untold story, particularly because it offers an insight into why Orochimaru is the way he is.

Kudos! _

Definitely a believable and altogether creepy story. The idea of Orochimaru being kindly when he was a boy is strangely appropriate.

I loved his reasoning about being the one who would become Hokage, how that entitled him to peoples' lives. Beginning his experiments with his father was also a beautiful bit of dramatic irony.

Very nice. ;)
