When we first see Orochimaru in the original Naruto, he was someone who had like 2 people under his control and a bunch of prisoners, but in Naruto Shippuden, he basically ran an entire government and ~1,000 people were loyal to him and he had like 20 prisoners, so did kishimoto get drunk or what happened to make it that orochimaru runs an entire government?
