[Discussion] Orochimaru and Sasuke's traumas; were they similar?

[AburameShino]

I recently made a post on another thread (Thread was Orochimaru as father figure) where I discussed his role as Sasuke's Sensei compared with the relationship Naruto and Jaraiya had. After the last chapter came out and we saw Oro's current actions and his talk about "winds blowing," I have determined that the reason Orochimaru is following Sasuke's lead is there is something about his ideology that Orochimaru empathizes with. I think that whatever Orochimaru's answer to Sasuke's question about his motives for crushing The Leaf, it was a situation that in some way was similar to Sasuke's situation with his clan and brother. Most likely his parents were killed in their service to the village, and Orochimaru wants to see reform just like Sasuke does. And this mother-effer is just sadistic and curious enough to sit back and watch the whole thing unfold. In addition I do think he cares about Sasuke as his disciple; he is probably proud of him and wants to see his full potential.

Agreed. I think he will--because, don't forget--Orochimaru still controls the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Hokages! I think Orochimaru will throw them in front of Raikage and his pose when he freaks out on Sasuke. 3 Hokages vs the 5 kages should be pretty epic.

Ehhh whatever his reason is idc, I just hope that he still plans on taking Sasuke body. Orochimaru Uchiha lol Too badass to comprehend..
