Sasuke is the only exception because of his great help in the war.And Sasuke was only fighting against a common enemy. He was plotting to do some awful and stupid shit afterwards.
Orochimaru was sorry for what he did, iirc. So he probably was pardoned.
He is the second most important character in manga.
Orochimaru didn't say "sorry" to anyone.
His crimes are far worse than Sasuke.
Unlike Sasuke. Orochimaru is a crazy sadistic scientist who uses babes in his experiences and a true villain. He wasn't pardoned.
I doubt he wants a pardon.
