This is a challenge fic. It had to include Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the line "This was not what he wanted, a miracle today." See how many religious references you can count. I make no apologies for this fic. There is a reason it's rated R.

Revelation
When those hands had touched him, he had felt as if he knew what it was like to be touched by God.
That is, if you could find a god in the soul of a sadistic mortal.
He had always cried out, he remembered. At eighteen, Jiraiya had not yet learned to control his mouth, to stifle his outbursts of joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain.
It had not all been pain, his treacherous mind told him. The rapture he had experienced was unparalleled, even after fifty years of hard living. Down on his hands and knees, face pressed into the ground, with Orochimaru hovering above and behind him like some sort of avenging angel, he had found his twisted salvation.
But this was not what he wanted, a miracle today.
Before the death of the day, another saviour would be murdered by the hand of man.
