Tsunade drags her hand tiredly down her face and sighs. "No, you will put it back where it came from, or so help me."

"But," Orochimaru says, voice smooth and cajoling and almost pleading, "look at him! When I found him he was all alone, and he bites!"

Tsunade looks dubiously at the grumpy toddler with silver hair being held up like a misbehaving puppy by her teammate and answers, "That doesn't make it any better, you know. Plus, I'm pretty sure that's Sakumo's cub--you can't keep it."

Orochimaru's golden eyes fucking sparkle, and Tsunade thinks she's made a mistake.
