Sadness and Sorrow

Answers, Part 2

Hey guys. Sorry about the chapter wait, but I had to make sure Naru's backstory made sense. Also! I've been hearing a lot about the Watty Awards. What's the deal with that? As far as I know, there's different categories for an award, and you enter by tagging your story #wattyawards. But since I want to enter SaS, I need to know more. Could I get a detailed explanation, please? Finally, I've read through the story and noticed some discrepancies.

My bad.

So this is written in Jiraiya's POV. Breaks in the story will be represented by this:

"Naruto's family story is tragic. But it starts with a group of friends. Minato, Kushina, Fugaku, and Mikoto. They all came from very wealthy families, but that didn't stop them from being kind and compassionate. Everyone loved them. Even the outcast.

Orochimaru was a social reject. He was obsessed with snakes, and loved to experiment on animals. These vices got him shunned by all of his peers- except one.

Minato was the only person who was ever kind to him. Naturally, Orochimaru became attached.

Unfortunately, attachment became affection. Affection became love. Then love became infatuation. And infatuation became obsession.

Of course, when Orochimaru confessed, Minato let him down gently, liking Kushina already. To the boy, though, this was like yelling, Hell, no, faggot! to the entire school. He ran away in tears.
