Clearly Orochimaru isn't getting anything done with Naruto & Sasuke in there current forms, would he be wise to be the leader of root, but not be corrupt?
He previously worked for root so he would know how to do everything and with his power they could take on a great threat, hell he could...
Sasuke beat Itachi(Not Itachi With Killing Intent). Sasuke wasn't winning a necessarily fair fight since Itachi wasn't trying to killl him but neither was Naruto's win of Kurama because his mommy Kushina helped him get the win.
