As a matter of fact, I do. I think he did have romantic feelings for her that she probably reciprocated in their teens and early 20s, but that they drifted apart. Seeing the pain she went through was a large part of what made him so obsessed with immortality and resurrection. He still cared deeply for her until she left Konoha. Feeling abandoned, he began to resent her. Or at least he concvinced himself he hated her and that she meant nothing to him. 

I also think that the three deadlock flashback should be interpreted not as Orochimaru attempting to sacrifice Jiraiya simply for the sake of the mission or his own life, but to protect Tsunade. And as he knew Jiraiya also loved her, he believed Jiraiya was willing to die for her and (if he had any sense) would have done the same in Orochimaru’s position. 

Yeah, he whispers to tell her about all the medicines he's got that he could sell to Mao, so probably aphrodisiacs and other things a new bride might find useful, especially if her new husband is a bit long in the tooth lol.

She doesn't ever slap him but she does yell at him for tossing out the seals without warning to open up the Utsurobune and scold him for being a mysterious prick XD

It's a bit of an exaggeration on my part when I say she would slap him, I think she would do it softly to get his attention if they became closer and she felt like he was having a joke at her expense or something like that.

// Because he’s an unstable rude little shit canon wise and you can’t trust fillers and video games since they tend to exaggerate Kabuto’s personality and it seems to make him like a saturday cartoon villain when he’s a lot more than that but sadly no one really is sure what that is, not even me. But give me a break since this muse is so damn mysterious! 

It’s also because almost nobody really knows where Kabuto stands with anyone, he’s loyal to Orochimaru and yet he also wants to overcome and challenge him to a fight. He may not look or act it, but he admires Naruto as much as it comes as a shock since he was really impressed with his development. Because he’s such an enigma, shipping him is a challenge at least for me since I rather not make him too OOC for the sake of a ship but yet I might have to, only for a tiny bit since I like to stick to canon no matter how unreliable and vague it is.  Even his sexual orientation is a mystery too. 

From my perspective as the mun, he has these key personalities:  logical and calculating  very sarcastic and good with insults (something I need to work on since I’m sarcasm blind.)  rare moments of kindness wavering loyalty at times sadistic at times manipulative even by Orochimaru’s standards unsure of himself a lot of times and needs constant reassurance of this extremely knowledgeable of the medical arts introverted (as an introvert myself, I can sympathize with him too)  neat freak polite and well-mannered submissive only when he wants to is a fucking spy so he knows A LOT about something in each country. He even found out about the truth about the Uchiha massacre somehow even though that shit was kept under wraps.  craves to be noticed and appreciated

And it gets even more complicated after he injects Orochimaru’s cells inside of him since he gets way too overconfident and starts to “copy” Orochimaru in his own way.  Course during Boruto, he’s his shy, nerdy but kind self. But even that won’t tell us much since I want to know what he went through to become Head Master of the Orphanage and if he’s still has his bad habits.  I also feel that he is definitely not the domestic type either since it might be too boring and mediocre to him and since he’s a Pisces, he would crave some excitement from someone but also want some love and loyalty. Something that he rubbed off from Orochimaru.  Someone like Kabuto would be a nice spouse or boyfriend but the “normal” married life is definitely not for him.  Also, there are things that not even love or marriage can fix but it can be lived and coped with. The last thing Kabuto needs to be with is an overbearing demanding and needy spouse who tries to change and mold him “for the better” or for him to make a ultimatum decision to make up his mind in an attempt to “get his shit together.”  

For me, I feel the need to at least put most if not all of those traits when it comes to a ship with a character and tbh sometimes I fail at that and my muse just wavers when one of those traits are ignored for the ship sake.  But I”m really trying to since not many people like him as a character as they keep reducing him to “the ninja info cards stereotypical gay guy who is a lackey follower of Orochimaru” and that’s all that there is to him.  But I’m glad that there are those that ignore the fanon and actually did their homework on him. 

 For me, I let my muse flow and let them choose who they want based on chemistry but they are also quick to distance themselves if they don’t like something in the ship character. Yeah, my Kabuto is picky as hell. 

Do you think orochimaru is still willing and trying to see his parents?

// I think there was a simple reason Orochimaru never saw their parents again, and it was due to there not being enough genetic material to resurrect their mother or father. Without that key ingredient, they can try and rework Edo Tensei all they like (and surely, they did) but it won’t succeed. What the result ended up being was not ideal regardless. By the time Orochimaru is older, and they know the ins and outs of raising the dead, it is clear to them that it cant truly be done as seamlessly as they liked. Edo Tensei results in disfigured puppet like reincarnations. Better off as weapons, than family. And by the time they have found a way to call back souls to the living world, they are vilified by the Hidden Leaf and many more. The former being a land their parents died protecting. I don’t imagine a reunion would be as romanticized as it was first pictured. A child was who enrolled in the academy at the early age of 5 and showed such great potential, a once in a generation prodigy, must have given their parents a lot of pride. Seeing that same talented child turn in to the villages largest threat, would have the opposite effect. Needless to say, the memory of their parents may stay sweeter if they never see either one again. But since we all know Oro, I would pin it down to a lack of direct genetic material, rather than a sensible judgement call or self control. So willing - yes. But trying? They have various projects they seem more focused on, Creating a family with Mitsuki has replaced the previous task of raising the dead.

“The most beautiful part of the body is the neck,“ Orochimaru said. They were both sitting up in bed, not intending to sleep any time soon. As such, Anko had on only a flimsy nightie, while he was naked under the kakebuton. “It’s a long held aesthetic and one I agree with. Have you noticed how maiko leave a special patch unpainted on their napes? That bare skin is accentuated by the crisp edge of their white face paint.“ He lightly traced where the make-up line would be on her neck with the pad of his finger.

A shiver rampaged up her spine. The little hairs on the back of her neck stood up. He’d surely notice them and relish how sensitive her skin was there. “Would you prefer it if your nape wasn’t white?“ Anko asked, trying to deflect. She turned her head to the side to look at him, her eyebrow raised.

“No matter how much I stretch my neck, I can’t properly see my own nape.“ His hand curled up and he buried his fingers in her hair, agitating the follicles further. “Regardless, my interest lies in yours.“

“You’ve made that abundantly clear in the past, driving your teeth into it the way you did.“ She grimaced as if the pain were fresh. “That hurt like hell. You’re not going to do that again, are you?“ 

“Giving the Curse Mark is not intended to be pleasurable for the giver, or the receiver. It drained a great deal of my chakra and sealed it within you, leaving me in a weakened state. So no, that was not my intention.“ Orochimaru leaned in closer, brushing his lips along her shoulder. “Has it occurred to you that the neck can be bitten with the sole intent of being pleasurable for both parties? Biting can be passionate. Even, dare I say it, tender.“ 

As his parted lips continued on up to her neck with their faint caresses, the narrow shoulder strap of her nightgown slipped down. His teeth were exposed enough that they also grazed her skin. He took her hand and clutched it in his powerful grip. 

Anko gasped. Somehow, her fear made it more exciting. The anxiety and the titillation filled her stomach with butterflies. She wanted to find out if what he said was true. “Show me, Orochimaru-sama. Do it the way it will feel good for me,” she breathed. 

He began kissing her neck, working his tongue around and sucking the skin into his mouth. It soon escalated to gnashing at her flesh, then nibbling, till finally he used some definite force. Orochimaru moaned as he bit into her, though he was careful not to break the skin. The way his moans sounded told her he liked the taste.

Anko cried out at the pressure, then started to moan as well. At this, he paused to whisper, “I’ll be tender after we finish.” As he resumed giving her love bites, he pulled down her other shoulder strap, letting her breasts fall out of her gown.
