Hmmm, a pretty good chapter, which is freaking surprising. I don't know what you guys are complaining about. I've argued this before but Orochimaru was never evil, no more than Danzo was or Itachi was, or Nagato was or Sasuke was or Obito is or the kyuubi is. One of the few things I like about this series is that concepts like good and evil are abritrary. There is no embodiment of pure absolute evil in this manga, the closest thing we've seen to that was pts Gaara back when he used Shukaku. Orochimaru's reaction was very much in character. If you don't believe me then just reread his confrontations with Sasuke, Kakashi and Sarutobi during the chuinin exam or the Sanin battle or Orochimaru's battle with Naruto after the time skip.
