Chapter 286:
Kushina was left speechless by Orochimaru's casual dismissal.
Sure, her cooking wasn't anything extraordinary, but was it really that bad? At least it was better than Tsunade's, wasn't it?
And calling her a brat? She was definitely not a brat!
Kushina wanted to retort, but as she looked up, Orochimaru had already disappeared back into the room.

Despite Orochimaru's unique relationship with Uchiha Mikoto, everyone in Konoha believed that Orochimaru and Tsunade were a couple.
This was precisely why Orochimaru didn't want anyone to know about his connection with Mikoto.
It wasn't about his own reputation—he no longer cared about such things, but Mikoto's standing in Konoha could still be affected.
As for Kushina, who was now privy to the truth, Orochimaru was confident that she wouldn't say anything.
