Orochimaru was right to look down on a bunch of worthless trash.
A Nara jonin far inferior to Hatake Kakashi, with one arm nearly crippled.
Two genin with no special abilities whatsoever.
And one chunin whose ability stats fluctuated wildly and who had yet to display strength truly surpassing that of a jonin.
Why would one of the Three Ninja think highly of them?
