Naruto IX: [Epilogue Intensifies]

[LaZodiac]

I'm pretty sure that all Zetsu and Madara did was unseal the moon and that allowed Kaguya to return, not that she was reborn out of nothingness.

I keep on forgetting Zabuza is a gross level of old for that to work as like a romantic relationship, but note that I didn't SAY it was romantic, just that it was gay. Small Gay Haku and his big gay dad adventuring across the Land of Waves is a cute image to me, is all. Haku considered himself a tool but I think it's pretty clear that just because they used the terms like that doesn't mean they didn't care for one another.

"I will not be terrible to this child so they can become a well adjusted person" is what all parents kinda do, Orochimaru is just more bluntly scientific about it. It is a parent's job to protect their children from the person their parents used to be.
