Ever since learning not long ago that Soji had surpassed him in strength, Orochimaru knew that the only help he could offer this cheap disciple in the future would be in scientific research.
Therefore, Orochimaru was very supportive of Soji's scientific spirit!
After all, as Soji's teacher, if he had nothing left to teach his disciple, wouldn't that be rather embarrassing?
Well, in the original story, Sasuke had felt that Orochimaru had nothing left to teach him, then turned around and got rid of Orochimaru.
Soji would not do something like that, but Orochimaru had his own pride.
How could he be willing to accept losing to his disciple in every field?

Looking at it this way, Orochimaru was actually quite the tsundere!

Soji picked up all the Death God Masks. There were twenty-seven in total!
"There are so many? Teacher Orochimaru, do you know which Death God Mask is needed to undo the Reaper Death Seal?"
Faced with so many Death God Masks, Soji had no choice but to ask Orochimaru, who knew more about such matters.
"Twenty-six of the Death God Masks here are fake. The Uzumaki Clan made them to confuse others. There has only ever been one mask truly connected to the Death God!"
Orochimaru smiled confidently. Then, with a single sweep of his gaze over the masks, he identified the real Death God Mask.
"What? Twenty-six of them are fake? I thought..."
