He was effectively immortal, his research into the Rinnegan ultimately came pretty close to the real thing, and with Kabuto's modifications (that Orochimaru was developing) he would effectively be one.

It's not really arrogance if you're right.

And there were so many Sound shinobi in the invasion that your statement is pretty much hollow, unless you're talking about the mission to kill Sasuke, of which the only people that seemed to know about other than Orochimaru and Kabuto were the Sound Genin. The sound ninja in the village that could expose the plans early were kept in the dark. Dosu was killed for knowing too much. The others apparently didn't figure out enough, fast enough.
