[Naruto] The Cry of the Crane

Many years later, no one will know what I think or what I long for. It is not that I am bad with words, nor that I am cold by nature. I have simply grown used to partings, and learned to take life and death in stride. It is only that the one person in this world who knew me and understood me will never come back. A short story about Orochimaru. The male lead is a total Mary Sue: an otherworldly Sword Saint, handsome and powerful, fond of sleeping, an older otaku who moans about his woes for no reason and perceives emotions differently from ordinary people.
