yeah that makes sense, thank uOrochimaru is far stronger than Hebi Sasuke. Sasuke himself admits inferiority to Karin after his fight with Deidara, telling her that Orochimaru was weakened. Sasuke just played it smart and waited for the right moment.
Uchiha like to play mind games with their opponents.Sasuke says it was because Orochimaru was weakened , but at the time of the fight it seemed like he thought Orochimaru was weaker
Just wondering
