We all know that the whole goal of the 1st Hokage was to remove war from the world after Madara through "love" while Madara wanted to remove war with "power". Well given all that and how very warlike Konoha was I keep getting these weird feelings when I watch Orochimaru doing stuff just after the Chunin exams that I wonder if he wasn't basically told, like Itachi was, to leave the village and all around be a bit of a degenerate dickhead and cause troubles/cause a reason outside of Akatsuki, Obito, and Madara for the different villages to come together
