"Chi-kun, you truly are unique, and that is quite fascinating. Haha, I wonder if you would care to take a walk with me?" Orochimaru proposed with a smile. Uchiha Chi readily agreed, and the two walked side by side, conversing as they moved.
During their chat, Uchiha Chi learned that Anko's father had once been a subordinate of Orochimaru. Toward the end of the Second Shinobi World War, to protect Orochimaru, he had made the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield. Because of this, Orochimaru had always quietly watched over and cared for Anko.
Orochimaru could not help feeling deeply emotional, remarking that in that war, he had lost far too many classmates and friends, all of whom perished in the flames of conflict. He hoped Uchiha Chi would take that as a lesson, cherish life, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
