Orochimaru_Wife23
In an alternate timeline. Orochimaru, the child prodigy and future Snake Sannin, was born in the same era as Naruto Uzumaki and the Rookie Nine.  Without the weight of decades of history behind him, his ambitions take root in a world still learning what kind of shinobi he will become.
 Orochimaru grows up alongside Konoha's new generation, his genius and curiosity setting him apart from his peers. Drawn to forbidden knowledge and driven by a hunger to surpass human limits, he becomes both an invaluable ally and a dangerous enigma to those around him. But he is not alone standing at his side are Tsunade Senju, and Jiraiya. Together, they form a team whose potential rivals even the legends of old. As Orochimaru trains and clashes with Naruto and Sasuke, bonds of rivalry, fascination, and reluctant respect begin to form each boy a mirror of the other's potential for greatness and ruin. Yet as the shadows of the shinobi world creep closer, Orochimaru is forced to confront the meaning of power, loyalty, and the sacrifices required to protect what he values most. Caught between his relentless pursuit of immortality and the fragile trust of his companions, he must decide whether to walk the path of a hero, a villain, or something entirely his own.
