I am flattered that someone sees me in this... new light. Heh.

Since their last encounter, Orochimaru had found himself wound up in a mix of various circumstances. Some were absolutely delightful, and some edged him to the brink of insanity. Namely in regards to alliances with The Sound. He really did hate resolving problems using the extremes, but the imbeciles who resided in his village were just so... grr.

The Sannin waited at the same exact clearing they'd met in, dating back to their first encounter. It was rejuvenating, to say the least. Given that, despite Tobi's claims, nobody truly won that battle.

Orochimaru was currently leaning up against a bolder, arms folded, one sandaled foot tapping quietly. Though, he wasn't particularly keen on "allying" with Tobi, he was certainly willing to work with him.

There have been so many changes in the Sound within the last few days. Whilst certain loyalties have been questioned, others dare I say, I strengthened immensely.

Lastly, Kabuto. Where have you been? I really must speak with you. Soon.

HELP ME OUT FOLKS!

IRL LOG TIME!
Tagging: Ash, Tobi, Sakon, Ukon, Gaara, and Kabuto (if she's off hiatus)! Also, mayhaps Kisame and Deidara will be coming in. Let's start out with the posting order:
Orochimaru
Ash
Sakon/Ukon
Gaara or Kabuto
THEN TOBI

I'm assuming we're going to start out before they teleport to Tobi's location so, let's go in that order. Once everything is set up, we can branch off into our own thang depending on how they strategize.

( THE LOG STAHTS HEERRR )

Another meeting outside of the Otogakure. Hopefully, this one would run more smoothly.

Orochimaru was actually genuinely interested in allying with the Sand. Though, it was merely for the benefits. Kabuto was sickeningly correct in suggesting that it would be difficult to ally due to Orochimaru's lack of change since he arrived. Regardless, the Sannin refused to sugarcoat things for those who disrespected and defied him. That was one simply charming attribute Gaara had! He was always so earnestly respectful.

He leaned up against a tree next to the pathway, patiently awaiting Gaara's arrival.

He... forgave me. Despite my overwhelming guilt, a certain part of me is filled with joy.

Is it possible for others to provide me with such resolve? Perhaps I still have a chance. A new beginning!

The past few two weeks had been practically sleepless. Heh, what did a god need with sleep anyway? Perhaps he’d been stepping out of line by irking so many upon his entrance… but there were times when it was so incredibly irresistible. Especially what with being introduced to so many unique talents and abilities. Everything was so… new.

However, there was one particular conflict that was standing out like a sore thumb. At first, it was nothing more than a childish game, but upon their battle, there some sort of unseen presence that drew Orochimaru to the Akatsuki member; Tobi. That apparently was his name, but who knew what to believe from a man who paraded around hidden behind pastel orange mask constantly. Gradually, he’d once again been able to “coax” Tobi into finding him instead. Besides, the Sannin truly wanted to know now what really lurked behind the elaborate disguise. There was something the ninja was trying to hide… and Orochimaru was determined to find out what it was.

T he renovations and screening process was playing out in Onagakure. He was quite surprised regarding the number of “traitors” that were now havening themselves in his village. Kabuto hadn’t lied. Things had changed. Though, it was no matter, really. Orochimaru couldn’t really afford to lose them… yet. Some people just needed to be… heh… reformed.

Currently, the Sannin had found himself conniving into the forests a couple of kilometers outside of Onagakure (though, he liked to refer to it as “contemplating”). The sheer idiocy and incompetence being displayed by many of his own villagers was overwhelming. He couldn’t truly bother to spend all his time fixing this mess, could he?

((OOC: And I am sorry that was really really shitty but it’s late and I’m a bit zoned out >_<))
