The Eight-Headed Serpent that Orochimaru had transformed into was retreating at top speed.
Aoda was retreating at top speed.
Hanzo of the Salamander and his summoned beast retreated along with them.
Orochimaru had not "given" the Hanzo of the Salamander brought back through Impure World Reincarnation his memories from his previous life.
Aside from following Orochimaru's orders, everything he did now relied more on instinct.
