[quote=@King Kindred] Alright cool. I think he was at least in his early to just under mid-twenties when he died so I think I might make my character his son though if you don't want me to that's fine. Other than the death of Hiruzen where does Orochimaru play currently? Since there's plenty of Uchiha members left does he still go after Sasuke during the exams or someone else or no one at all? Also since the Uchiha are mostly the good guys in this I'm guessing there's no Curse of Hatred for their clan. I'm definitely fully interested in this now though. [/quote] Orochimaru took interest in Sasuke as he was the younger brother of protege Itachi Uchiha, however instead of actually getting to Sasuke during the exams--he was thwarted by the third, Kakashi, and Itachi. But now Orochimaru is just watching Konoha from the shadows, looking for any other "special" Uchiha. And actually, they do still have the curse of hatred. However, it has been nearly eradicated due to the lack of true hatred against the Uchiha in the village. This AU isn't taking place because the entire Uchiha clan were good per say, but because Madara was more of the kinder and optimistic fellow despite having the curse of hatred. :)
