Tsunade and Shizune both looked seriously at Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were standing in front of them.

"Long time no see... Orochimaru." Tsunade greeted him rather gruffly.

"I've searched long and hard for you, my dear." Orochimaru just said rather creepily.

"What business could you possibly have with me? ...Don't even try to tell me you just wanna catch up..." Tsunade looked at him utterly serious.

"Actually, I have a small favor to ask of you." Orochimaru smirked at her as sweat started to run down his face, his arms that were hanging limp by his side were trembling slightly.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes at that. 'His heart rate's erratic... From his complexion, he has a high fever and he's been in a state of exhaustion for a while... And his arms...'

"Tsunade-sama... You probably already know." Kabuto spoke up while looking at her seriously.

"Go ask someone else. I quit medicine a long time ago." Tsunade declined gruffly.

"But we cannot... you must understand the severity of Orochimaru-sama's wounds... No one else can heal his arms." Kabuto told her utterly serious. "No one except for you. You who gained fame as medic specialist... One of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade-hime."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes at that and looked at Orochimaru's arms. '...This has to be some sort of curse mark or something...' "...His arms... Those are no ordinary injuries... What happened to you, Orochimaru?"

"Oh, nothing really..." Orochimaru panted the slightest bit as he told her that casually. "Just a minor incident when I killed the Sandaime."

"Wha?!" Shizune shouted utterly shocked.

Tsunade's eyes widened at that in shock. She started to sweat slightly as she glared at her former teammate. "You... did what?!"

Orochimaru smirked at that. "Humph... No need to scowl, Hime... All things eventually come to an end... As do people. You ought to know... For you to let the two people you loved most in the world die..."

Tsunade gritted her teeth at that and she narrowed her eyes more.

Kabuto looked at Tsunade at that in slight surprise. '...She let the two people who she loved most die....?' He shot a short look at Orochimaru before looking back to Tsunade. 'I see now. You are the cruelest Orochimaru-sama...'

Orochimaru just started to chuckle crazily at that before looking with a taunting smirk up to his former teammate. "Yes, indeed... Those were such brutal deaths...."
