this whole orochimaru arc feels forced af. He should have nowhere enough power to pull this off and satoru doesn't need to listen to orochi as he can just threaten him. Orochi is scared of dying and will work for him for free.....Satoru is portrayed as op but can't even exert any strength against named characters.
Orochimaru may be a little crazy, but he's not stupid. I don't believe he would initiate this attack while sitting next to Sarutobi and Minato. Nothing he showed in the work could deal with Minato with the 3rd Hokage. At most escape, but there is no point in launching an attack on this scale just to escape. I think the story had to have invented a random reason to say that at that moment Minato cannot be present or with limited power.
