   Summary

   I think it's a crime we didn't get some good Sannin content- so I've written it myself. This long-fic follows the Legendary Sannin (Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya) from their days at the Academy, through their adolescence, following their participation in the Second Shinobi War and up to Orochimaru's departure. It is canon compliant where possible and follows an accurate timeline, and is split into four parts (and an epilogue):

   Part One: The Genin Saga
   Part Two: The Jonin Promotion
   Part Three: The Second Shinobi War
   Part Four: The Remains
