" Daimyo isn't a sound plan cause replacing one leader isn't a problem, and public unrest can lead to that ruler being deposed, same with building up its military or curse marking the whole army" the problem with these statements is that orochimaru is somehow really great in brainwashing entire groups of people. all he would need to do is maintain mental control over individuals with real power such as powerful shinobi clans. the land of sound is stated to have a good deal of powerful shinobi clans

i also wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Orochimaru created dozens of hidden villages around the shinobi world
