A question about Orochi

[Rhanfahl]

Yeah, that brings up and interesting question. Orochimaru, lived in Konoha till he was a grown up at least. So don't all Jounins get teams and like 3 genins to teach? So did Orochi just end up with Anko? Or did he maybe have three to start with and get pissed off and eat 2 of them, or send them on suicide missions? Or were the sannin just so beyond everyone that they really only took students that they wanted to instead of team assignments? Personally I would like to see more of their pasts, and the shinobi wars.

Not every Jounin is a teacher. The Orochi/Anko relationship could probably be related to the Orochi/Kimimaro relationship in its early stages. Maybe it wasn't an official "team," but circumstance that led him to those two. Since Kimi isn't from Konoha and spent his early years "in darkness" as a weapon of war. I'm thinking there wasn't a team with Anko, Kimi and someone else, but that it's more along the lines of Zabuza/Haku in that Orochi found and saved them.
