Sannin headcanons and thoughts
The last thing I would like to post for the sannin week. It is still 24.04 here! :D @sannin-central
This is long. Spoiler alert. Mostly Orochimaru, some Tsunade, a little of Jiraiya (because his story is pretty clear and spoken and idk what I can add). Also I recommend to read this meta about Orochimaru, it has influenced me a lot and has some good points. Sorry for any posible grammar mistakes. Also I really should put here a lot of references to the manga or anime but it was something that was piling up for a year and I’m soooooooo lazy. After all, those are just headcanons. Also: Im not excusing Oro’s bad stuff here, Im trying to understand the reasons.
Ive already posted some hcs, here, here and here.
1. First if all, the chronology pic of sannin lifetime based on the info i found on naruto wiki and also some statements about wars from this post. It was tough considering what a mess naruto’s chronology is.
2. Sannin story shows what it cost to be a legend. They’re like Team 7 but more realistic. Tsunade literally carried the war but left with nothing and developed a ptsd and have problems to just live on. Also anger control issues. I think she can be pretty bossy and stubborn which is not always nice. Jiraiya is the hero of the day but also very idealistic and can ignore some important details in the real word whether its the fight (he always injured during flashbacks maybe because each time he took too much to handle and on the one hand it’s heroistic but on the other is a mistake that can lead your team to situations like in that Iwa cave) or your friends issues (I bet he saw what’s going on but thought it’s fine until Oro actually got red handed and left). He lives in his world and may have problems to get out to see it through someone else’s shoes. As for Orochimaru, it seems like he was a normal guy for 20+ years (I mean, he didn’t do crazy criminal shit and had something good in him and it was stated somewhere that it was his teammates influence. It is obvious they considered him as a friend, I don’t thinks it was for nothing) but we mostly know his darkest side. Despite being a moster he is a human that have empathy and some ordinary human traits (man just decorates every bit of an environment he is in lol).
3. Tsunade was the leader of team Hiruzen.
4. Tsunade sometimes hit Jiraiya for some stupid things he did or said but never touches Orochimaru even if he did something same. Jiraiya complained about it once and almost got another hit.
5. Jiraiya had problematic parents that didn’t care about him much and a lot of time he was wandering in the streets.
6. Judging by the look of Oro bangs and hair, he sometimes cut it off. A stress relief huh? And the fact that he doesn’t do it now in Boruto..
7. It was shown that Tsunade and Orochimaru was acknowledged before they become a team. Maybe they did just before, or maybe some longer time before. I prefer the second option and hc that they met because both had no real friends - Orochimaru seemed weird and scary for everyone and Tsunade was Senju so everyone wanted to hang out with her but didn’t really care. They weren’t seen as what they were - people put the labels on them. But they didn’t care about each other’s labels and actually saw each other in true lights.
8. Tsunade knew it was an accident and it’s not right but still she blamed Orochimaru for Nawaki’s death for some time. It was something that seriously damaged their friendship and the team. Orochimaru was mad but also guilty, after all, he was responsible at least as a shinobi since Nawaki was under his watch. So he started to act cold and emotionless and was trying to distance himself from his teammates.
9. Jiraiya was in Ame while Dan died.
10. The whole his orphans mission was a bit irresponsible tbh. They already fought Hanzo and as he stated the conflict between Konoha and Ame is going to an end with Konoha’s win. It’s weird to stay here for three years in the middle of the war while there were other lands to fight. He left his teammates for some idea. Maybe that caused another crack in their team friendship.
11. If Tsunade would have find a way to live on with her trauma and follow the will of fire and stuff it would affect Orochimaru as well just as her grief affected him. It’s like he would get an example that you can live on with this pain. So death isn’t above human capability and we are not just the slaves of mortality (sounds stupid but i dont know how else to describe sorry). But as we know what he actually saw is that it broke her crucially to the point she couldnt be herself again. And so the death is above everything.
12. Oro wasn’t just acting as a cold pragmatic bitch in that cave but also tried to save Tsunade. Jiraiya knew it and that’s why he showed this sign to him like “I see what youre doing here” and that stunned Oro because he would prefer to look rather like a cold pragmatic bitch hehe
13. Just a thought. People in the village probably treated Oro as a foreigner or just wouldnt accept him because he looked so differently and had a weird attitude. That’s why he sometimes didn’t feel that Konoha is his home. After the wars where people were treated as means and tools, even the children, he himself developed this view on people - he dehumanized them and used as the means to his goals, just as his village did. Funny thing some people were straightly dehumanizing him too like Ibiki thought that he was a demon (tho he was a child). And he probably weren’t the only one. Anyways the point is that it’s logical that Orochimaru don’t care about anybody but some few people, he’s the product of his era. He’s like Naruto that would chose the hatred way. But naruto had some good and understanding people around him and.. Orochimaru had them too, but match how Iruka treated Naruto and this Hiruzen’s “I sAw tHe mAliCe in This cHiLd fRoM tHe BegGinNinG”. And oro didn’t even have a big ass evil fox in him. sry i hate hiruzen
ANYWAYS the moral of the story is not “go criminal if they hurt you” but always treat people like people. Waving my hand to Kant.
14. The reason why Orochimaru didn’t pick some good morals to stick with through the hard times no matter what (like, idk, Jiraiya or Naruto) is because 1) I think he is/was pretty depending on people around him 2) the war fucked him and his friends up too much (Nawaki incident + Tsunade) 3) twisted addictions (though I don’t think he’s that sadistic, we never saw him torturing randoms just for fun, it was always some science experimental shit. He tends to get fun out of cruelty only when it’s personal) that maybe developed as a way to sublimate anger and sadness caused by his parents loss (that’s what they share with sasuke - unlicke naruto, they knew their parents and it’s other kind of pain. Sasuke developed a revenge issue and Orochimaru - cruelty pleasure which… is kinda the same but less epic and more occasional lol).
15. Speaking of that, Orochimaru cared for Sasuke because he saw himself in him.
16. Oro hold grudges against Hiruzen for not choosing him to be Hokage not only because he was ambitious and/or egoistic, but also because Hiruzen was some kind of a father figure for him and his approval was important tho i doubt he was aware of that. He also probably could tell that Hiruzen was suspicios about him when he was a child and that led to many conflicts and was hurting as well.
17. Tsunade knew things weren’t pretty with Orochimaru after the wars but she never expected them to be this bad. During the week that she was given in her arc she thought not only about how much she wants to see Nawaki and Dan again despite how wrong would it be but also was trying to bury all the good memories she had left of Orochimaru so it would be easier to kill him.
18. She poisoned Jiraiya exactly because she knew he would not let her do it. Jiraiya was always hesitant to kill and inclined to forgiveness, while Tsunade, as mentioned by Orochimaru, could be merciless (so much so that he was not surprised when Kabuto suggested that she wanted to use Jira for Edo Tensei).
19. That was one of her traits that scared Jiraiya and fascinated Orochimaru.
20. Remember how Oro grabbed Jiraiya’s neck when the latter was trying to cover with hair jutsu? On the snake, in Tsnade’s arc. Orochimaru could have easily kill Jiraiya by pulling the sword out of the mouth (arteries are right there) but he didn’t. As well as he could kill Tsunade when she was still shaking - just aim for the neck or the heart. Instead, he just injured her lung and kicked her which is not a big deal for the kind of shinoby like her at all.. Also he helped Anko not accidentally kill herself but it would be way much profitable to let her do it. “Orochimaru has no feelings”.
21. The reason he suddenly wanted to kill Tsunade instead of forcing her to heal his arms as it was planned (which is weird since it will not going to get him heals and he kinda said that he wouldn’t want to kill her just minutes ago) is that not only she refused to help him (he thought he could work it out) but she also prefered the village over him (from his point of view). Out if everyone she was the closest to being able to understand him since the village caused her painful losses too but nevertheless she agreed to be on it’s side.
22. He wasn’t fighting her back in the end partly because he thought he deserved that. Somewhere deep inside hahah.
23. Tsunade got a fear to develop deep bonds so they probably weren’t very close with Shizune (also the way she knocked her down in this hotel.. oh).
24. Orochimaru will be here when she’ll die.
25. Orochimaru’s eng dub to Tsunade: “I often wondered what it would be like to ring that pretty neck yours”. No comments.
26. Orochimaru is either bi/pan or ace. Anything or nothing lmao
27. Hiruzen knew about at least some of the Oro’s illegal experiments and was okay just as he was okay with the Foundation all the time. Because it’s useful. Then he has discovered he went too far OR he knew everything and oro just became too inconvenient because of his methods. The way Orochimaru tells Sasuke about reasons they are well treated as the criminals is based on in his experience with Hiruzen.
28. As you may know the lyrics in Orochimaru’s music theme goes “don’t talk with the silence of the heart”. It was taken from one Indian song that also had lines like “don’t question life too much”, ”pain arose somewhere in the chest”, “don’t speak to the wounds of the heart”. Though I’m not sure 100% because I was translating it with some hindi dictionary with like zero knowledge of hindi
29. I like to think that this “silence of the heart” theme and the fact that he called his village a hidden sound village are somehow connected. The hidden sound is the possible explanation of all things waiting to be listened to but the truth is silent and you know it deep in your heart and it bothers you. The world is silent just like the life is meaningless but people can only hear. *Sigh* anyways
30. Orochimaru’s journey is the one about accepting death. When he saw Karin released her chains while was trying to get to Sasuke he understood that the death is a part of human’s strength.
Can’t wait to feel that everything I wrote is wrong or not enough or stupid and obvious lol. Anyways, it’s something that I wanted to share until I move to some other fandom.
sannin week day 7 (5 and 6 are skipped) - role swap au, Tsunade as an antagonist

sannin week day 4 - folklore
Sooo sannin in slavic setting because I am russian and had no other ideas for this prompt, I thought that it would be interesting
Orochimaru - Koschei the Deathless, a popular antagonist in slavic tales. Thought he’s immortal, he has his soul hidden in the egg that is in the duck that is in the hare that is also somewhere else depending on the tale and if you destroy it you can kill him. Usually steals protagonist’s bride and is greedy
Tsunade - Maria Morevna, a warrior princess that had Koschei chained in the dungeon of the castle where she lived in with her husband (I stan). She had to go to the war and told him not to open the dungeon. He was too curious tho and found Koschei there and accidentally freed him. He then stole Maria, but her husband brought her back eventually.
Jiraiya - this husband from the previous tale :D Ivan Tsarevitch, a main protagonist of many slavic tales, not only the latter one. In the picture with him I referred to the tale about the Frog Princess, a cursed shape-shifter maiden, that eventually became his wife.

tsunade's feats (and why she's equal to her fellow sannin)
(For @sannin-central‘s Sannin Week Day 7 prompt: Free Day)
One of the most tired arguments you’ll ever hear about Tsunade is that she isn’t as strong as her fellow Sannin, or their equal; that all she does is heal and punch and have a bad temper. As if that’s the only thing that makes her special, right? Nah, wrong!
In this meta, what I want to expand on is a full, manga-canon (with some anime and extraneous material inclusion) litany of feats that Tsunade has accomplished. And what makes her such an integral part of the Sannin, and background surrounding it. Hopefully, this will be a meta that can end the doubt of the equality between the Sannin and the feats that make Tsunade such a force to be reckoned with.

Deadlock
For Trope March Madness, Prompt: Soulmates and Sannin Week April 4 - Deadlock ( @sannin-central )
Orochimaru, in the grand tradition of mad scientists before him, tested his breakthrough jutsu on himself as well as on the assembly line of dull-eyed orphans Danzo had released into his temporary care.
This treatment had been in the works for years- since Orochimaru had first landed a part-time research position as a newly-promoted chunin during the War, in fact. The dates on his meticulously-labeled files only went back perhaps three years, five if you counted the more multi-purpose bits, but Orochimaru could trace its development back through every captured enemy body he’d dissected and every experimental trial he’d done since gaining access to classified research labs beneath the Hokage Tower.
First, he drew the coiling, precise seals on each test subject’s arms. Some of them offered their bare skin blankly and easily, like dolls moved by an invisible hand. Others had to have their arms strapped down to the table with thick leather ties. A few even had to be paralyzed with small enough doses from the light yellow bottles on the top shelf that they would remain conscious throughout the procedure. He took careful notes of which ones required what, in case in impacted the results.
The ink he used for the seals was a special mixture, heavily chakra-infused and containing several drops of each test subject’s own blood added right before application to the skin. It hardened quickly upon contact with the cool lab air, and tiny spiderweb-cracks appeared almost immediately. He noted down the way such cracks tended to occur most densely in the area directly over the subject’s soulmarks.
He painted the lines on with steady, sure strokes.
It’s important to be neat on the lines, Jiraiya had told him years ago on that mission to the Land of Waterfalls that seemed to drag on forever. If you smudge it, or if there’s a little waver or something and it doesn’t come out smooth, the whole flow gets messed up. In the case of an exploding tag like this, it’ll probably blow up in your pocket or something.
The dark ink sent goosebumps racing up his arm.
First sealing layer so applied, he turned back to the test subjects.
The next step would be laborious and chakra-consuming, but he was prepared for it. One did not keep up with Tsunade and Jiraiya by being a lightweight.
Green chakra flickered into being around the fingertips of his right hand. With his left he made a series of modified one-handed signs. The sequence ended with his palm flat and all fingers extended. He paused a moment to let the yin chakra build up appropriately, then touched his left fingertips to the first test subject’s soulmark. The test subject jolted slightly.
He introduced his green-tinged right hand, and began to cast the second half of the jutsu.
This hands wove and danced around each other in circular patterns that enmeshed in specific ways with the seals he’d just drawn on. Slowly, the test subject’s chakra flow became more and more disrupted around the point on their wrist where their soulmate’s name was written.
It’s important not to rush medical jutsu, a memory of Tsunade’s voice whispered in his ear. Speed is good, but doing something fast and doing it in a rush are two very different things.
He kept the timing of his movements precise and the rotation of his wrists smooth. Only when the disrupted area covered the whole kanji sequence of the soulmark did his fingers come to a halt and complete the jutsu.
Quick as a striking snake he jabbed the soulmark with a thin lance of chakra.
The test subject, a young boy who had been very cooperative up until that moment, jerked in place so strongly that their wrist flew out of Orochimaru’s hands. The boy went tense all over, then visibly forced himself to relax and offered his wrist again. Orochimaru smiled and patted his head. He always appreciated when the test subjects did their best for him.
A quick examination found that the boy’s soulmark, which had previously been the flat black of an unfulfilled bond, had turned a light grey.
He absent-mindedly copied down the kanji on a notepad.
To finish the process, he extended an arm to snatch a small pot of ink and a tiny brush. He double checked the label on the bottle to make sure it was the correct ink- a different mixture than the first one that was equally exhausting to prepare- then began drawing the second set of seals onto the test subject. The thin lines of red ink almost looked like precise surgeon cuts. He made a note to himself to investigate the possibility of seals carved into the body. A vague memory of reading of such a practice in old Uzushio fluttered in the back of his mind, but he couldn’t quite remember where…
No, this was no time for distraction.
He worked quickly to complete the seal before the area of disturbance in the subject’s chakra flow stabilized itself.
When at last he’d finished the last mark, he took a moment to savor his triumph. No other test had gotten this far into the process without failure. Simply reaching the final sealing step was an achievement worthy of a glowing report for Danzo-sama. And if all went as he believed it would, then tonight he would achieve what shinobi villages had been searching for a way to do since their founding.
He laid his palm reverently over the test subject’s soulmark and activated the seal.
When he drew his hand away, the test subject’s wrist was blank.
Orochimaru laughed.
“So, Tsunade, Jiraiya, I have surpassed even you two in knowledge of the nature of these bonds.”
With a satisfied smirk, he glanced at his own double soulmark.
“And soon, I will tear asunder our bond and finally escape this infernal deadlock of ours.”
