After less than a month in his presence, Orochimaru could say that he was glad that he wouldn't be needing anything other than Sasuke's body for the transference when the time came. There was something wrong with the boy that went beyond even his own level of broken. Not even he denied reality to the point that Sasuke did. The fact that that was what Sasuke had chosen to fixate on, and that was what had caused Sasuke to join him even though he was lacking a curse seal rather than a desire for the power to defeat his older brother was beyond disturbing.
The Yondaime was Uzumaki Naruto's father no matter how much the Uchiha boy tried to deny it, and he himself was glad of that fact since, with Little Minato keeping her occupied, Kushina hadn't had as much time to hang around him and shred what little was left of his sanity with her bizarre and logic defying antics. Some of what Kushina could do when she wasn't thinking broke the rules of the universe, and her son seemed to be following in her footsteps in that regard. It wasn't just the boy's strange ability to turn even the most hardened criminals into saints after a fight that defied all reason either.
He didn't know what had set the Uchiha boy off this time, but Little Sasuke was in his room muttering about how his former teammate wasn't the son of the Yondaime, and how the Uzumaki boy's mother was an ordinary woman who couldn't scare the Sage of the Six Paths himself shitless before stealing the last of his sanity had he had the misfortune to meet her. Great, as soon as he got the little brat whom he was beginning to think wasn't worth it out of his room, he was going to have to spend the rest of the afternoon repressing Kushina's existence once-more.
He didn't deny that Kushina existed, he just simply chose to forget it for the sake of what little remained of his sanity. There was a reason he'd done his best to repress Uzumaki Kushina's existence after all, and it wasn't just because of that bizarre one-sided Love/Hate relationship she'd had going with him.
Yes, it was a good thing that the only part of Sasuke's brain he would have need of would be the part that controlled his eyes. The boy had been bringing up memories that were best left buried since his arrival. Such as the time Kushina had got it into her head that...And the time that Kushina had tried to...And that other time Kushina had...And that time he'd gone for a walk and caught little Minato and Kushina...And that time that a heavily pregnant Kushina...
Great. Just great. He'd do the lobotomy right now if there wasn't a risk that he might damage a part of the brain that made the Sharingan work aside from the usual ones that controlled the eyes. There had to be a reason for why the Uchiha either fell into the category of Insufferably Arrogant or Batshit Insane if they didn't fall into both after all.
