There's still evidence that suggests Minato is just on a higher level than Orochimaru.It really doesn't. They had NO information on Orochimaru's abilities, considering they didn't know about his regeneration, Edo-Tensei, his research etc. Plus, Hiruzen said, "No one can stand against him", with Anko making her statement. Implying, only Minato can go, toe to toe with Orochimaru. It's really basic, it's called perspective. It's like, Itachi saying you need Amateratsu and Tsykuyomi to unlock Susano'o, yet Madara and Obito don't have it. That was his opinion and perspective, it's basically what he THOUGHT you needed. Dismissed.
Hiruzen admitted inferiority to Minato. Hiruzen would've killed Orochimaru if he didn't have had to seal Tobirama and Hashirama too. He would've killed him 1 on 1. Jiraiya was inferior to Minato and Jiraiya was more or less equal to Orochimaru (personally I feel he surpassed him with Sage Mode, but to each his own opinion. There' no denying they're around the same level.) Minato was chosen Hokage over Orochimaru.
