it's going to be very short
1. some of you might ask why Orochimaru didn't use some OP jutsu against Hiruzen if he actually had instead of senju bros fodder version?
Imo the answer is obvious. Orochimaru knew that Hiruzen was old/slow/had small chakra and he thought he could be raped even by two weakened summonings. Also he was just toying until it was too late and Hiruzen started to rip out Oro's soul
2. He wanted to destroy Konoha but after Hiruzen made him unable to form handseals he eventually decided to stop... WHY??? if ET was the only thing that Hiruzen took away it shouldn't have changed his power level that much...
so it seem like Orochimaru believed:
He with hands >> Konoha
and
he without hands << Konoha
and we all know that he already admitted inferiority to Itachi so he's the kind of guy who can accept if someone is stronger
so you might call me a fanboy but I belive that a full healthy Orochimaru is way stronger than the one that fought kyuubi mode Naruto and ET is by far not the only difference
3. It wouldn't make sense if someone who even as a child was considered a genius and supposed to became Hokage (by the hokage himself not the elders or Jiraiya like the 5th) had been unable to effortlessly pwn a 4KM Naruto or an emo with 3t sharingan
