Prompt: Caring

[strongheartmaid]

Caring and Orochimaru rarely would be found in the same sentence - in fact, many a nin would claim that the concept would be terribly foreign to that missing nin. But those nin who would say that - they weren't Jiraiya, they weren't Tsunade. They knew remembered how gentle Orochimaru had been [Jiraiya could still recall the gentle grasp on his shoulder - where Orochimaru had gently grabbed him to keep him from falling over after breaking his ankle in a rabbit burrow], how caring he had been [Tsunade could feel that lump rising in her throat as she remembered it had been Orochimaru who had spared her the pain of identifying Nawaki, that had it had been Orochimaru that held her tightly in his arms, allowing her to weep on his shoulder after Dan had fallen]. No, the world may have forgotten all the goodness that he had done in his life - but there were those who would never forget.
