Updated action plan, feel free to copy/edit for your own. Time is short.
Oro got interested and demanded info. That's a bit aggressive but nothing insane. I'd say that's not enough to infer oro doesn't barter.
we could also ask oro to stop intimidating us with his aura since we feel that is mean. and discourages us from telling him more interesting ideas we come up with in the future. that's more of a stretch though since using jonin aura on people seems to be accepted in ninja culture. also we would need oro's interest in answering our questions since the question would be unrelated to his current goal of talk to kei. We could possibly mention kei would be more friendly in talking with him about shadow clones if he doesn't use his aura, but again a stretch
Mari's plan of using 'go dissect Kei' as a distraction doesn't make sense if Hazō wasn't himself under threat. A sane Oro would know that doing so would sabotage the rescue effort.
mari being a social spec gives her actions some weight. however oro could have done some body modifications to prevent social specs from reading his body/face language thereby invalidating a lot of mari's instincts. also mari doesn't always act great on improvization, seen when she killed her fanboy in liberator.
get mari to do it
How? She's the one with Snuncle right now.
...by talking to him?
Even cuddly cannon Oro has multiple lairs filled with unwilling slave subjects he has fight to the death for vague dramatic reasons. I do not understand where this benefit of the doubt is coming from. Oro has been overtly evil in MfD, his motivation to experiment on people is well established, and he was already kicked out of Leaf for his evil. Is the basement forgotten so easily?
Occam's Razor.
and we don't know the full context. does he get consent? are the people he experiments on evil or did they take hostile actions against him? did he do it for the greater good? does he give them painkillers?
do we know why specifically he was kicked out? wat if he was doing biomedical experiments with unwilling subjects. but the results could be used to save more people in leaf? and the kage disagreed with his utilitarian ethics?
Because we do not have much info on Oro, so we should be uncertain in our models of him. Our first person interaction with him has been in minutes.
i dunno, besides guessing she couldn't think of anything better when improvising. like kei running away does not seem like a great plan.
Really. Come on man, it's obvious. The man has no moral code, no benevolence or malevolence in his body. He doesn't do any of that because doesn't have any internal reason to and no external force can make him care. He is Orochimaru, and he's the person closest to Canon in Marked for Death.
What in the world are you talking about? I honestly have no idea. This is not a joke or a literal genie moment, I look at this post and it bounces off my brain. What are you trying to say?
My confusion continues, except now it seems that you think Haru is secretly an S-ranker?
I think he's pointing to the update where Mari gave Haru a small chakra refill and offered a position in her spy network, and is saying that Mari probably has Haru nearby with full chakra ready to ambush Orochimaru and take him out. I'm... not sure how a Chuunin is supposed to take out a Sannin even with Lightning chakra and from ambush, and unless it's a one-turn kill (heck, even if it is, as soon as he reforms from his phylactery) Orochimaru would proceed to make everyone in a ten-zone radius wish they had never been born.
More like we just let Panegirik say the Polemarch did it. Make him look powerful and scary at the same time.
