Ok yāall, stupid brain rot Hyperfixation time but we gotta talk about Orochimaru and Mitsuki Relationship.
The Boruto series could have easily gone the route of āI hate my creator, fuck my parent, Iāll never be like them.ā Sort of route for Mitsuki. It would make sense, heās a Leaf Village Shinobi and loyal to the leaf and Orochimaru doesnāt give a shit about the leaf.
But they didnātā¦well not entirely.
Instead, they gave us a oddly wholesome relationship with Mitsuki and Orochimaru, where Orochimaru has been shown in the newest Novel and Newest game, to show care for Mitsuki (even concern in the book at the idea that Mitsuki could be in danger) and buying Mitsuki a video game console just because it ālooked interestingā (Mitsuki had actually bought a copy already and ended up letting Sarada have it) and Iām honestly really pleased to see this sort of relationship explored, though its unlikey for now as they enjoy pushing Mitsuki aside.
MITSUKI has shown that he respects his parent greatly, even going as far as to use their likeness as a Avatar in a Video Game, because they look up to them and it āmakes him happyā which I donāt know about you, but thatās super sweet. Orochimaru made Mitsuki to be different than them, Orochimaru could of easily made Mitsuki a Evil Clone to infiltrate the village and destroy it from the inside but with the one shot and other interactions we have seen, Orochimaru seems to genuinely want Mitsuki to live the life they couldnāt, and that includes having a active parent in his life because remember, Orochimarus parents died when they were very young.
Who knows, but I hope the Manga explores Orochimarus feelings about Mitsuki, and their relationship as a whole, cause itās super interesting and sweet.
I also have some thoughts about whether or not Mitsuki is related to Toreni via DNA soā¦Iāll have to write that down sometime š
