Although, he still could've been there (initially) of his own free will. When he released he said he wanted to kill Orochimaru, but then we later learn he's pretty much a psycho that would kill anyone for shits n giggles. Did he really hate orochimaru, or did he agree to be experimented upon and then went his usual insane self when Orochimaru looked at him funny?

I mean, Sasuke's team seemed to have a running theme of people working with orochimaru: Sasuke himself went willingly, Jugo went willingly, and Karin worked with him.
