OroSaku - Chiyama and Chiumi by KYOTlES on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

So this was an old sketch that I decided to line and color. Their names come from the old saying that a snake must live a thousand years in the ocean and a thousand years in the mountains before becoming a dragon (Yamasen, Umisen, but I used 'Chi' instead as it's a better form for 'one thousand' in names).

Anyway, I headcanon that Orochimaru has troubles naturally conceiving children, so he used his experience in genetic experimentation. Using several fertilized eggs, Chiyama and Chiumi were the only ones that were viable.

In this AU, Orochimaru didn't defect from Konoha rather that he set out in a different home far away. An incurable disease has spread throughout the hidden villages and reaches Konoha at some point. Sakura is unable to combat it on her own, and once Tsunade is inflicted with the disease, does her sensei reveal that her old teammate may be able to help her find a cure. So she sets out to find him and the two work together to make a cure together. They end up falling in love and stay together after they help everyone with the disease and send it off to the other villages.

Anyway, back to the kids. Chiyama (the boy) is very emotionally driven and can be a bit of a hot-head when he's frustrated or can't express his feelings in a way that others understand. Chiumi (the girl, obv) is like her father and stays cool under pressure. She likes to tease her brother and they bicker quite a bit just like siblings do lol
