Naruto forgiving people seems to be some Japanese cultural thing or just an overused trope in many manga/anime. Like how when a villain is defeated and escapes many heroes say "He's no longer a threat let him go." So on and so forth. No. That's stupid. They committed crimes and they need to pay. Kabuto and Orichimaru are responsible for more deaths then there are people in some of the ninja villages both directly and indirectly. How they just let Orichimaru set up shop and do his thing after the war and let Kabuto run an orphanage is beyond galling.

Could you imagine being related to the people who died in the war, and learning that some of the main people were free simply because they either had a change of heart or helped fight the final boss. That may clear a few charges away, but their research is a big part of how edo-tensei came about and even before that Orichimaru was kidnapping and experimenting on people.
