Oh, and this struck me as really weird: Sasuke's tone with Orochimaru was pretty harsh wasn't it? To interrupt your master, calling his informing an old comrade "unneccessary" is pretty impudent... "Don't talk about it." Damn, I see that Oro hasn't taught Sasuke much in the way of respect (or fear for him)...
Like I said before, I think it's something totally different than that. They both know what Sasuke's real reason for being there is. So, it's a kind of ironic situation in general. Orochimaru isn't one of those miserable bullies who wants power just for the sake of oppressing others; he has said he wants to learn every jutsu and that way be the strongest. From that point of view, it doesn't really matter to him at all if Sasuke doesn't behave like a subordinate. With Orochimaru's special kind of humour, I think he enjoys it when Sasuke surprises older, more submissive servants with speeches like that. That's made quite evident by Oro's laughter after Sasuke is finished and the scientist (or whatever that dude was) is somewhat taken aback by those words.
